Obama: Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs Responsible For Rise In Hate Crimes Against Hispanics

At a fundraiser in Florida Thursday night, Barack Obama accused anti-immigrant crusaders Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh of "ginning things up" to such an extent that there was a rise in hate crimes against Hispanics last year.
"A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There's a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year," Obama said. "If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it's not surprising that would happen.

It doesn't get any more hardcore than this:

4. Yeah, there was a fill-in on Lou Dobbs the other day and she did this nasty
piece about Obama not being fair to Lou and that what Obama said was not true. Then she provided all of these "facts" and statistics to prove her point. WHATEVER. And NO...I do not watch the show. LOL I walked in the room and heard them mention Obama so I stopped for a second. Then I quickly turned the channel.

5. wait until that lunatic comes back on the air next week...
Dobbs is going to go on an extended tirade about him for weeks now, and dare him to come on his show and say it to his face. I can't stand him. Ever since his operation, he's been more vicious and hysterical than ever. I wonder if his mind has become unhinged. I just happened to catch him screaming at some guest last week who he'd "invited" on his show to "debate" - and he screeched across the table at him, "you're nothing but a left wing HACK!" I can't watch him for any period of time - I only caught it because I can't stand those damned Cialis commercials and I turned away from Hardball for a minute.

6. This is an important story, but the press will bury it and McCains health and cover RFK instead.
