Lou Dobbs: Should you Learn to Quit Worrying & Love the Port Deal?
from his email newsletter:

Lou Dobbs Tonight
Tuesday, February 28, 2006

Should you quit worrying and learn to love the ports deal?
We’ll have a full report tonight on all the attempts underway
to stop the Dubai Ports World deal.

Senator Susan Collins, head of the Senate Homeland Security
Committee, and Congressman Duncan Hunter, Chairman of the House
Armed Services Committee join Lou tonight. Both high-ranking
officials are outraged by the deal and will speak out tonight.

But James Zogby of the Arab-American Institute joins Lou to
tell us why concerns about the deal are racist.

Of the 10,000 cargo ships worldwide, more than 200
foreign-owned freighters fly the U.S. flag. And our government
is using taxpayer money to pay the owners of 60 of those ships
to do so. Why are taxpayers footing the bill for foreign
companies and governments to fly our flag?

And Congress is finally starting to deal with our country’s
illegal immigration crisis. But which bill will ultimately make
it through Congress? We’ll bring you a full report on the
immigration legislation currently making its way through
Congress.

ports by the United Arab Emirates-based Dubai Ports World.

2. It's BushInc who makes it into racist to distract from the GLOBAL FASCISM
that is really compelling this deal.

3. Weren't we "racist" for opposing Gonzales not so long ago?
and Janice Rogers Brown?

Bottom Line - Bad ideas from Bushco are bad ideas . . .
