4. Good for you!
Reading that, I could feel my heart swell.

If you ever make it to San Francisco, I'm buying.

By the way, the clerk I gave that stuff to was African-American and a big part of the reason I shopped there. She's great.

7. Dobson is a racist and hates Obama, pure and simple.
Think I'll write a letter to CNN about this. Let them know that apart from boycotting any products that may be associated with this company, I will be boycotting their show until that Racist, Lou Dobson, is taken off the air. It can't be soon enough for me. But I do thank him for helping Obama with the Hispanic vote. That's at least a positive consequence for us.

10. It's DOBBS not DOBSON
Dobson is a different ball of wax. An asshole that lambasted women in the workplace. That is, until Palin becam a VP candidate.

12. Don't boycott the show
Take note of each and every company placing ads during the show. Contact each one - by written copy letter preferably - explaining that due to their support of Lou Dobbs' program, you will no longer be purchasing their product, and you will be reccomending their competitors to your friends. Include the reason why - printouts of the picture, explanations, all of it.

Hit CNN in the wallet.

44. I used to be able to sit through his show,
but ever since Obama became a viable candidate, Dobbs's racism has been so overt that it makes me want to shoot my television.

I am going to call CNN and complain about this as soon as I find a number.

9. It wasn't long ag when Lou Dobbs was hailed on this board as Working Class hero
My how times have changed.

As much as I don't like the direction the party has taken on some issues, it's good to see people giving this fraud a good dose of shit. Of course it would have been nice if people were able to recognize a pig for being a pig instead of when he doesn't support your candidate.

Dobbs has always been a serious POS.

We need to keep the heat on the MSM - they DO pay attention to this stuff. So how about a bunch of keyboard kommandos flood his bosses with email. I'm from Idaho and I will not tolerate racists getting a free pass on this shit - EVER!

16. "Independent" means something different on the right
Independence from logic
Independence from sense
Independence from ethics

Never lack of political affiliation and biases.

He is the only mainstream journalist covering the economic devastation of offshoring.

57. He is leading the anti-latino movement w/o which the fascists can not keep power.
See my journals about the anti-immigration movement, esp. "When Does It Become Fascism" about how anti-immigration has been and is being used in this country by the forces of fascism as the external menace from which these forces of purity must protect our country.

Dobbs is a modern day Goebbels who throws enough populism and economic common sense into his hate message to appeal to the working class that is being divided and conquered.

And he ain't the only journalist talking about offshoring.

Nor would I ever refer to this vile turd as a "journalist". He sputs nothing more than xenophobic bullshit.
