Lou Dobbs treated McGovern with the respect that he deserves, and honestly asking McGovern's advice from Domestic Spying to troop withdrawal in Iraq! Lou also asked McGovern to come back! Wow!!!

Rumsfeld.

I missed the first couple of minutes, but Lou asked Ray about Hayden, as Ray knows him. It seems that at some point Ray had a great deal of respect for Hayden and seemed genuinely upset that Hayden made the choice not to honor the Constitution.

On edit..it is wonderful to know that Lou seems to appreciating two people who I have appreciated for quite awhile. Randi and Ray! I also love it that they are getting the MSM time that they need.

6. he can go after subjects very viciously, though. I've seen it
he tore some guy from FAIR a new one over something awhile back, cause the guy had his facts wrong

that was quite a sight

he's gone after CNN reporters, too, occasionally

10. I am Progressive and Lou is definitely Conservative, and there are things
that he will come out with that I disagree with him vehemently, and then there is the common ground. But the beauty of Lou Dobbs is that he is always sincere and for all the times I've watched him, a gentleman. He also has an excellent bs meter, and I think that's why he gets along with Randi and apparently Ray. He knows that they are talking from a place of truth and he respects that.

13. Lou makes my teeth grind once in a while.
but on the whole, I appreciate the issues he brings up front in his articulate bull dog way.
he seems to be concerned about middle class america. It's a damn good start. And he's asking serious questions that Lesterical Wolfie or Paula Con couldn't come close to.

3. Maybe Dobbs watched the Rummy/McGovern TDS clip...

I hope C&L or someone posts the video. I'm not a fan of Dobbs but he has his moments.

4. I watch it and I impress with both Lou and Ray because neither one used
the deceptivie tactics of bringing up issues unrelated to the debate at hand. Well done by both.

11. Would you think that Dobbs really is for
the middle class? For the working men/women? I have a hard time deciding whether he is sincere about this, because he is so conservative on so many issues.
