Bwahahaha! Lou Dobbs on CNN just said DHS is a "joke"

[johnaries]

perpetrated on the US public!

[Richardo]

1. Some joke. How many billions is their annual budget?

I'm not laughing.

[fooj]

2. I'm not, either.

Peace.

[Brotherjohn]

3. And how many hundreds died in Katrina? nt

[MadMaddie]

4. At least someone is saying it out loud...

it's laughable because it's taken it this long for someone to say it out loud.

[barb162]

8. Lou tells it like it is

[johnaries]

6. I'm laughing because I'm tired of crying.

But it looks like Security is rapidly becoming a Repuke "negative". Security will be a big Dem issue this year!

[CatWoman]

13. and it seems as if some Republicans are trying to shield Bush

from responsibility in this matter.

[ninkasi]

20. Somebody is always trying

to shield the brat for his screw-ups. He's quick to take credit when he thinks he's done something right, although hes never done anything right, but obvious mistakes and failures are NEVER the little twit's fault. He is without question the worst person to ever claim the office of President, even though his claim is illegal, because the elections were stolen.

[TahitiNut]

24. Nope. I'm not laughing either.

:grr:

[lovuian]

5. It was just away to get the CIA & FBI under one control but its

useless!!!

[YOY]

7. Department of Fatherland Security a Joke???

Sagen Sie es nicht!

[gizmo1979]

9. Lou has been on a tirade for about

a week.I bet the ports issue sends him over the edge.

[johnaries]

10. It does! He is ranting about it now!

And check out this poll on his site:
http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/lou.dobbs.tonight/

If the U.S. government is turning over operation of some major U.S. ports to a United Arab Emirates company and doing nothing to secure U.S. borders, should the Homeland Security Department be disbanded?

Yes 90%
No 10%

[w8liftinglady]

12. we should all write Lou with our facts re:Carlyle,Snow,etc

maybe he will do a piece on it?I have already emailed Olbermann

[johnaries]

14. YES! Absolutely! I'm betting he will. n/t

[karlrschneider]

15. I think is one of the VERY RARE online polls that actually is accurate.

But of course nobody at Bushco will pay any attention to it.

[CatWoman]

11. I was going to post about this

I'm watching, and Dobbs seems absolutely LIVID.

He's ripping Bush left and right.

Other good discussions are coming up, more specifically the amount of time Congress has been in session, and rising health care costs among the middle class.

[johnaries]

16. Did you see him correct one of his reporters?

"This is not a mid-level mistake, this is a mistake at EVERY level. Let me make that clear."

His reporter looked like a whipped puppy. All he was doing was reporting some RW spin. Poor guy.

[CatWoman]

17. Yes!!!

that was past terrific!!

:hi:

[xchrom]

18. i'm pretty sure that dobbs is not in any way progressive or liberal

but that's what makes it kinda cool when he crawls up bush's ass about these debacles.

[CottonBear]

19. We Duers could have told him that years ago. n/t

[Road Scholar]

21. This ain't funny. Those sonovabitches have ruined this country. nt

[Terran1212]

22. Sister works for DHS; I've been roleplayer in simulation

They are far from a joke. Some of their activities are very necessary (we want people to react to disasters!) but others I feel violate rights (monitoring protesters)

[AndyA]

23. I love Lou

I don't always agree with him, but he has been on fire for months about the border issue, and now he is absolutely livid about the ports.

I know many question his motives, but he is fairly well respected in conservative circles, so what he says tends to carry weight with them. I'm glad to see him throw a fit, SOMEONE NEEDS TO!

[Zodiak]

25. you can add Cafferty to that list.....

he is going off on homeland security and leaving Blitzer sputtering.
