Lou Dobbs supports the Minutemen and trashes Columbia U. Students
for being in support of immigrants! Media just loves seeing "Students" Rioting again. Supports Bush "Mission of Chaos" just keep the country in turmoil and riot just like the 60's and the BASE will be reminded of Vietnam and how the Dems "Cut and Run" philosophy didn't allow us to defeat those Communists.

Ummmm....I just saw a bunch of Clothing with the tag "Made in Vietnam" in Walmart and Target the other day. Doesn't seem to me that Vietnam turned out badly for the Vietnamese...

Who knows...maybe in a few years we will see the "Made in Iraq" label adorning our purchases. Hey...they Corporations go where they can make the BIG BUCKS! Ralph Lauren....Made in IRAQ! :rofl:

What a joke this Media is...how EASILY they Sucker those who didn't live through Vietnam and the Cold War and the fiasco of the Politicians who shipped our jobs out and put "wage and price freezes on our salaries."

How quickly the Media thinks we FORGET.

1. Lou Dobbs has never been our friend.
Even when he coddles me with words I want to hear, I mistrust ever fiber of his being.

3. He's very clever he knows that those of us for VOTING RIGHTS...will
tune in because he's the ONLY one talking about the machines. But, we are forced to wade through his propaganda on other issues to hear a little coverage about the machines.

Makes me think he does the Voting Machine (DRE/Diebold and other Fraud) just so he can get some ratings for the rest of his libertarian stuff.

I've tried so hard to watch this guy...but he gets me angry. And, it's the way he presents information. We all know there are big problems with "undocumented workers" and other stuff he talks about...but I feel he is inciting riots and promoting hate...rather than Positive Solutions for Compromise to FIX and RESOLVE problems that face us because of Bush policies.

We have so little media ...it's sad that we are forced to listen to Propaganda. :-(

10. I detect an underlying racist attitude in Lou.
It's subtle, but it's there.

2. I am for immigration reform. But, the minutemen do NOT speak for me.
Edited on Thu Oct-05-06 05:48 PM by AX10
They are racist extremists who just want to rid the country of people whom they find to be "less than desireable".

4. Well
Dobbs didn't trash the students he trashed Columbia U. for not allowing free speech and said they should be ashamed. Also he is not against immigrants he is against Illegal immigrants and respects the laws of our nation and wonders why like we all do that they are not enforced. I do not want open borders. Why do so many side with bush on this issue?

11.  Columbia U doesn't take too kindly to Brownshirts
I don't blame them. They should have kicked them racist pricks out on their asses.

Broken Record
Lou Dobbs' daily 'Broken Borders' CNN segment has focused on immigration for years.

But there's one issue Dobbs just won't take on.


By Heidi Beirich and Mark Potok

.... For more than two years now, Dobbs has served up a populist approach to immigration on nightly segments of his newscast entitled "Broken Borders." He has relentlessly covered the issue, although hardly from a traditional news perspective -- Dobbs favors clamping down on illegal immigration, and his "reporting" never fails to make that clear. He has covered the same issues, and the same anti-immigration leaders, time after time after time. In recent months, Dobbs has run countless upbeat reports on the "citizen border patrols" that have sprung up around the country since last April's Minuteman Project, a paramilitary effort to seal the Arizona border.

But there's one thing Lou Dobbs won't do. No matter what others report about the movement, Dobbs has failed to present mounting and persistent evidence of anti-Hispanic racism in anti-immigration groups and citizen border patrols. ....

9. Lou Dobbs hides his "closet racism and love of Globalists" under a very
well concealed "dimpled cheeks demeanor" doesn't he. Butter would melt under his mouth his words are so "Hot" for us Dems....:-(

12. Head Minuteman Simcox has stolen donations, maybe in the millions....
Donations that were sent to him by supporters. I wonder if Lou Dobbs knows that.

13. I always hope that DU Lurkers read the links in these posts....
I know even when I don't post on a thread that the links other posters give I read. I learned so much here on DU just by reading links.

I have to hope that whatever we do will lead to more information out there so that we don't get sucked back into being "Media Clones" because we are just "too busy" to read outside the Media Box.

I'm glad for links...links are what keeps us going....
