Did Lou Dobbs fuck up, or was his "slip" a signal the MSM will attempt to de-PC race?

Tinfoil I know, but what if they're trying to push or redefine the boundaries so McCain is unshackled to arouse the fear and latent racism in Americans?

Cue the theremin <scary> :tinfoilhat:

9. ah. thanks.

well, Dobbs is not the most PC tool in the shed, but I can see different interpretations, in addition to the racist one.

3. I suspect Lou utters the words Cotten picking without considering

the potential implications as do many people. He caught himself on this occasion, albiet a wee bit too late.

4. He says it a lot...and he stammers horrible and he can't read the teleprompter...he's really very

very bad...

But he does say "cotton pickin" quite a bit...just didn't want to insert it this time..thats for sure..lol

5. he knows it was racial and was saying it as a racial slur. That is why he caught himself and

started to even get animated to take attention away from his near bigotted attack on Obama and Rice.

7. Sorry I disagree on this one...he uses the term all the time....

I'm no Lou fan...but in this case, I don't think he was using it as a racial slur..but he did catch himself ...and I don't blame him..he would have been roasted...even though the guy says the term all the time when referencing politicians and what goes in Washington and Corp. America, in general.

8. Cotton pickin' is a replacement for profanity

I grew up and live in the south. I have never heard it in any context used as a racial slur.

It is like saying "gosh darn."

Just corny.

11. Using the term "cotton-picking" to describe black people is highly unadvisable

10. Dobbs is just a tool of CNN's.
