28. So cracker is a racist term? Oh yeah I forgot all the water fountains with |
|
crackers only signs I had to endure when I was growing up. Not to mention what could happen to me as poor young cracker if I dared even look at a female of the majority race.

29. Why would it not be a racist term if it refers to race in a derrogatory |
|
term. Is it a matter of degrees? It's not as bad as other derrogatory terms so it's okay as long as it was never over a fountain somewhere?
I didn't think any racist terms were okay, even if they don't happen to refer to your own experiences. To think otherwise strikes me as a rather slippery slope.

33. To equate the term cracker with racist terms for African-Americans is |
|
turning a blind eye to history or for that matter the present. When Freedom Marchers demonstrated in the 60's, crackers beat them with baseball bats while calling them names you would equate with cracker. In the 50's they lynched blacks while calling them those same names.

19. If I recall, someone on his panel said that Lieberman was a centrist |
|
and that centrists were no longer favored by the Democratic Party. Lou Dobbs then suggested that Bush, with whom Lieberman is in agreement, is of course such a centrist himself. It was obvious that he was being sarcastic, even without his later clarification and it was clear to me that Dobbs was directing his comment towards those who claim Lieberman is a centrist.

He made it clear he was sarcastic as the discussion continued. He also dissed extremists on both sides of the spectrum, which means he is no neocon apologist.
And I won't dine on any shit... because as long as Lou covers voting fraud and 9-11 deceptions, he is worth watching.

The Rollins asshole from the Reagan years, and that moran in the middle. But the Democratic strategist was given ample time without interruption (and how often does that happen?). Lou's last jab was how he has no use for extremists - and he included the Right in that comment.
He is a conservative, but he is no Faux News neocon asshat. :D

22. Goodwin: "I Assume Lou Was Kidding" |
|
Dobbs: "You better believe I was."
Rollins and Goodwin, on the other hand, are definite shitheads.
Goodwin: "Shows how far to the left the Democratic Party has shifted."
Yea, right.

I expected right-wing drivel from Rollins and Goodwin. Hell, Rollins worked for Reagan. The rhetoric that the Democratic party is 'far left' is dead in the water. The latest poll numbers OVERWHELMINGLY favor the Dems in the elections, and with 60% against the war, and 33% ratings for Bush... it's a safe bet MOST of even Lou's most loyal viewers know the two GOP pinheads are COMPLETELY full of shit.
Expect more flailing from the Republicans as this drags on. Soon, we'll all be commie pinko hippies and to the left of Che. :eyes:

so speak for yourself.
yes, Lou can get my hackles up every now and then, but he is not afraid to call the neocons out with some exquisite blistering language.
Can you Imagine Wolf or Paula saying the uncomplimentary things that Lou does about the Gang or go into any kind of depth to the extend Lou does in reportage or touch 'sensitive' issues that DU has been talking about for years now?

37. WAIT! Lou Dobbs is a LIBERTARIAN! Once you understand that you |
|
can understand why DU'ers are constantly split over what he says.
His Libertarian light shines...but in these dark times when even LIBERTARIANS sound GREAT to honest DEMS...you gotta figure how desperate we are out here. :shrug:
He does "some good stuff" as long as one remembers the "libertarian ZING" that will get us Dems in the butt like a scorpion sting. What else do we have besides Lou? Wanna watch a couple of hours of Tucker Carlson? or maybe Paula Zahn?

Son of a bitch was free market way back when, talking down the Democrats for good taste. His only saving grace is that he recognized what a catastrophe free market really is, before everyone else did.

rwingers and Dimson** comes up as a centrist. I saw it and I just about choked on the glass of wine that I was drinking! I've read upthread that it was supposedly a joke, but that wasn't my take on it.

TW in this area, and not only will I refuse to support them, I don't care for all the compression algorithms cable uses to squeeze my signal down to nothing! Broadcast television is the only way to see everything in the electronic signal being sent. That said, my dad (a lifelong Democrat) loves Lou Dobbs and asks me if I saw the most recent show. Sorry Dad, I didn't. So I would expect he was joking, but again, never having seen him I do not know the whole story, and it sounds like some of the other posters here don't know the whole story either. dumpbush
