Reply #36: Dobbs' rise is a result of ignornance and xenophobia in America

[OutsidetheBox]

He is first and foremost a corporatist hack, caring only about big business (see his past), though masquerading as a friend of the middle class. Secondly, he is a teevee pundit, carving out a niche for himself through ignorance, xenophobia, patriotism and nationalism (read: targeting the ignorant), all in order to expand his target market. (hence, a larger piece of the advertising revenue pie). Saying Dobbs cares about middle class Americans is like believing Bush when he says Jesus is his favorite philosopher. Dobbs is an opportunist, using the fear, hatred and xenophobia of his viewers to gain popularity where little existed before. It is called reinventing himself for profit motives and for ego. Look at and study his past and then say he cares about "middle class americans". Follow the money...... Typical pundit using the ignorance of his viewers to self-aggrandize his self worth. To see that so many DUers listen to his every word is very, very disconcerting to say the least. More and more this site is losing its progressive principles.
