Lou dobbs going nuts...
Yelling about Bush & Co regarding illegal aliens and the Ports problem...yelling to David Gergen about how Bush compared illegal aliens to prohibition...about his hand picked audiences..."what is he thinking???" Gergen relies..."well...I think they're tired..." They all laugh...even Gergen has had it...

6. Oh god I wish that were true
I can't believe all the Bush/Cheney and W stickers I still see.
It's unimaginable how people can support these jerk who are only good at abusing their power to rip us off.

7. Yep. Reagan voters could take comfort in that Reagan REALLy
did care about white people and no one else. Bush voters have tended to transfer this "atttibute" <sic> onto shrub. Shrub doesn't give a damn about people regardless of their color. People are only tools for him to acheive his means to an end.

5. Never forget, though
Lou Dobbs is little more than a xenophobe..always has been always will be.

He may toss us a bone now and then, but at the heart of it, he wants the "good ole days" back..the 50's..when white men had all the good jobs, women were cooking & baking & birthing, blacks "knew their place", and before the waves of "brown people" came here in big numbers after the quotas were lifted. (Mexicans have been coming here for hundreds of years) but when the quotas were lifted LOTS of darker skinned people started showing up, and it's easier for xenophobes to hate the ones easier=st to attack and find.....that would be the Mexicans.:(

12. Dobbs is the only one talking about labor's side of it
Seems to me. His targets have been ILLEGAL aliens, who by the way, benefit corporate America. He may be racist, I don't know his history. I just remember watching him and seeing him talk about corporations stomping the shit out of the working class.

He used to be a business journalist, just not BAD business I guess. The corporatocracy only benefits a few MNC's and is bad for America and most Americans. It seems he gets that.

14. xenophobe, xenophobe...no i'm not seeing that, my sense is that...
his concern rests more with the cohesion of american labor as a base for the middle class, conversely the out-sourcing/off-shoring of it, and the expanding trade deficit as a result of it; beyond being concerned as should we all as to various groups, whomever they may be, slipping in & working illegally my further sense is that he is but a mere handful speaking any where near to what needs to be said in such a forum but that's just me.

you can't seriously be implying that he prefers a time when "blacks knew their place", as would a bill bennett, so as to suggest contemporaneously.

4. Dobbs was handing Bush his hiney on Wed too...
...it's nice to see he's not letting up.

I wonder what Dobbs' bosses think?

Was Dobbs talking about our ports being controlled by the Arab country?

You really have to wonder if BushCo is creating obvious conditions, which everyone can look back on and say, "Well no wonder we had another terrorist attack! Look at what BushCo did...he didn't monitor the borders, he didn't do anything about illegal immigrants, and he put an Arab country in charge of our ports!"

It's so outlandish that Junior can do these things, while simultaneously riding the "I'll save you from the terrrists" wave. His policies help the terrorists.

I'm befuddled at how stupid this nation has become...

10. Dobbs is an Eisenhower Republican
Or maybe even a JFK Democrat. They believe in the capitalist corporate elite running the country, but they believe you're supposed to do a good job of it. The point is to protect the elites and keep the markets clear for the elites, not let a bunch of "those people" in to muck up the works. That's why he's always on the illegals, he's a supremacist at heart, but not quite to the extent he would support policy that would desroy the most supremacist country ever, the good ol' USofA. He's got some good things to say, but I wouldn't go anywhere on his bandwagon.

13. Good. Dobbs was pounding his own drum in the run up to the illegal
invasion of Iraq. He loved his president. He loved the war. He supported everything those rat bastards did. I hope he loves his new fascist country. He and other journalists just like him can live in the shit they created. I hold them responsible for what has happened to this country. Enjoy it Dobbs! You OWN IT!
