Lou Dobbs is an IDIOT!

[Lost-in-FL]

He is saying that many people in the Immigration march were waving Mexican and check this out... PUERTO RICAN flags. Those flags are CUBAN flags and not Puerto Rican flags!! Puerto Ricans are AMERICAN CITIZENS BY BIRTH. Immigration laws do not apply to Puerto Ricans, they do not need permits or green cards. Wonder if he knows that. :eyes:

1. Texas flags, too. Damn Foreigners!

[fooj]

2. Let him know.

Peace.

3. What about the Irish flags on St. Pattis day..

9. Okay, here's the thing.

When you want Americans to accept you as an American, even though you're an illegal alien, you wave an American flag to let Americans know that you're wild and crazy about being a citizen of this country. Once you're an American and you are bestowed all the rights of an American, then you're free to celebrate your heritage.

It's the little things.

4. They were there tho

The sea of flags that filled the streets represented much of the ethnic makeup of San Diego's immigrants: American flags were joined predominantly by Mexican flags, but also by those of Brazil, Guatemala, El Salvador, Peru, Colombia, Puerto Rico, Greece and elsewhere.

5. Maybe the reporter got it wrong.

I don't see why a PR flag would be present in an immigration march. :shrug: But that is just me. Like finding an Indian flag in an Arab protest, Indians are not arabs.

11. Thank you

The flag I saw on TV had the image of Che Guevara (wonder if he knows who El Che is). EL Che and Fidel Castro fought together in Cuba and South America (the continent on the South of "The Americas" not the area in Alabama-Mississippi, etc.).

7. He also got the AZ story wrong

I ran over to email him.
Janet Napolitano (d-Gov)is trying to be brought down by the right wing extremists in the
state by every measure possible. They are trying to nail her for being weak on
immigration, while they are trying to have 500K people arrested for trespassing:rofl:
Even the Police endorse her veto.
It is a joke, and Lou fell for it.

8. Don't insult the ONE guy on a major network who insults Bush

immigration is a wedge issue - you either support law violaters or middle class US citizens.

Don't fall for the trap.

10. thats right.....illegal is illegal period!

[Telly Savalas]

16. Damn straight! Jail all the pot smokers!

12. He is right on the issue but VERY wrong on the flag.

My bad. Switching flags is just a very little mistake. He is just showing that the majority of rich white conservatives think of Puerto Ricans as second class citizens. But that is all. :sarcasm:

Is there still a middle class in the US? Damn... I forgot.:+

13. I don't give a shit about any flag - even the US flag

Lou is one of the good guys....

Turn on him and you turn on Labor - the main Dem strength.

[Lost-in-FL]

14. It is just a flag issue...

:sarcasm: It is about racism, not labor.

15. yeah - like the Duke rape is just "racism"

break the law and you should suffer the consequences.

INCLUDING the employers.

17. Lou Dobbs is a Racist

and a republican. I do agree that there has to be something done about illegal immigration, but the comments Lou Dobbs makes are plain disgusting. The Mexicans bring disease and ignorance etc. etc. I can't believe he can get away with those statements. He makes no complaints about the 40,000 a year work visas issued to Indians and Russians to come to the US and take away good paying jobs from Americans. The double standard is just unreal.
