Lou Dobbs says he's "done" with Obama
Lou Dobbs was ranting about how Obama is going around the country telling lies about him, and he said that he is completely done with Obama. It seemed as if he had to hold back from uttering some sort of expletive as well.

After seeing that, I became nervous but then I thought--Obama may be better off being a foe of Dobbs than a friend, particularly when it comes to courting Latino voters.

1. Dobbs has been attacking Obama constantly. He's been "done" with him since forever.
Edited on Tue May-27-08 07:13 PM by anonymous171
But it's great to hear him come out and say it.

143. From that same article"...this country’s foremost populist"
Not a bad title at all to have. He represents a huge number of Americans as he speaks out against ruinous free trade policies, Amerians losing jobs to offshoring, etc.

138. I can't believe you would defend that sack of farts.
Lou Dobbs is a fear mongering grandstander. His positions have all the depth of a panderer trying to corner a demographic. His show is revolting.

Are you one of those "pretty soon whites are gonna be a minority in their own damn country" types? Because it seems like you'd have to be, seeing as you're defending racist, xenophobic lunatic Lou Dobbs.

Who was exposed shortly after the candidates announced. If he was TRULY for the middle class, he would have told everyone to vote democratic. END of story. But he was exposed for the racist, lying, opportunist he truly is.

He fails in the key 25 - 54 demographic advertisers look at. Dobb's audience would never vote for Obama or, indeed, ANY Democrat ergo he is irrelevant.

55. Lou is a walking oxymoron
He is married to a Mexican American, and he frequently has black guests on his show, but oftentimes you can sense his disgust and contempt when he is speaking about non-whites whether it be people in this country or abroad (China). It's subtle-but it's there, and it's unmistakable. It was especially obvious during his Katrina coverage.

...in D.C. in the late sixties early seventies. I find that interesting. His father owned a propane business and his mother was a bookkeeper. Nothing snooty there.

65. He's probably an example of a phenomenon that I've observed
where some people of the racist persuasion do just fine around individual members of minority groups. But get them started on more than, say, three of any group of people and they turn into George Lincoln Rockwell. You can usually identify these people when they say something like "There are too many goddamn illegal Mexicans... but some of them are OK."

Lou Dobbs probably believes that marrying a Latino woman gives him a free lifetime pass to say as much ignorant shit as he can puke up. I mean after all, how can he be racist? He's married to a Mexican!

113. Seriously - Dobbs has not been himself since his illness last year!
He used to be a little better at some things, like sticking up for the Unions and for the 2 border guards that got shafted when they shot a drug smuggler and got put in prison for it by Bush's planted Judges. But now he is just plain vile and he has always been against anything Obama has said!

I emailed CNN a couple of times on him but he is getting even worse! I usually listen a few minutes now and then just to see what he is saying, and when the Hillary supporter he has on his show that says he is a Democratic adviser tried to stick up for Obama a couple of weeks ago Dobbs jumped on him and said, "Oh now your changing your tune because Obama is winning, maybe?". He hates Obama because I think he knows he is going to be our next President and not McCain! Along with the obvious affect his illness had on him, it may be time for him to retire!

I'm not saying everyone must support him, not at all but the way he goes after him and attacks versus how he has treated the other candidates was mind opening for me.

161. You mean, people who work for those companies who donate to his campaign?
The NAFTA Queen takes money from PACs, which can be used by corporations to funnel money into a candidate's campaign.

162. You do realize, don't you, that Dobbs' views go FAR beyond being against offshoring?
Edited on Wed May-28-08 01:51 PM by Shakespeare
Nobody is suggesting that offshoring is a good thing. But Dobbs has shown himself over and over to be a vile racist and xenophobe. He almost called Condi Rice a "cotton picker" on one show, and caught himself mid-phrase (here's a youtube link: http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2008/03/31/lou-dobbs-almost-calls-co_n_94301.html ).

He regularly uses racist groups like the CCC as sources, and spreads lies about immigrants bringing in diseases like leprosy. He's a disgusting human being.

Dobbs isn't just against offshoring. And anyone who watches his show regularly is well aware of that. But you go right ahead and keep defending him, mkay?

163. Lou Dobbs distributes some very insidious propaganda
Day in, day out. And the broken border stuff is EVERY frickin day-as if this is our only and MOST pressing problem.

He also does this thing where he has total disgust for "broken government" and washington, and Congress. Well So do I. So do most Americans. He however lays the blame equally on Dems and Republicans as if there is no difference. There are some bad Dems, but for the loyalty and the selling out of the middle class and pushing the war-which has ruined our economy taking money away from everything else-that's the Republicans. The Republicans block everything from health care to little things like ending torture. So to lay it as if they are equal is the biggest RUSE he lays on the American public, day in day out. He says some hard hitting stuff-without laying the blame where it belongs-on the Republicans and yes the FEW Dems that abide with them.

But that equality argument is exactly what he's doing with Obama-apparently Obama isn't TOUGH on borders as Dobbs would like so therefore, McCain is OKAY??? That's the deduction. That's what people will conclude.

McCain is a NIGHTMARE for the poor and working class. I'd like to see Dobbs tell that every night. Obama isn't perfect THERFORE to Dobbs is he is "just the same" as McCain. Dobbs is disingenous. Dobbs knows the end of the middle class will only take about eight years of a McCain. Maybe Obama can't save it, I will grant anyone that, but he's the last chance at this time for the working classes.
