with all of that ACORN crap. Then he has a lil smirk while talking about it. What a tool. I can't stand that guy. Didn't ACORN basically turn themselves in anyway? People are actually still talking about them?

1. Lou Dobbs is a nasty racist blob. Nothing he says ever
surprises me. He's one of the many reasons I don't tune in to CNN very often. I hate that fucker.

2. ACORN didn't do anything wrong...
...cspan had a two hour In Depth interview with the woman in charge and she explained how the whole thing works (it's probably archived). The bottom line is ACORN has to - by law - return every voter registration card that is filled out - even if it is filled out by Mickey Mouse and if they do get cards filled out by Mickey Mouse they separate it out and get rid of the person that handed it in.

There is no fraud.

Lou Dobbs just wants you to think there is.

3. No, Acorn did not basically "turn themselves in"...
....because that would be purely stupid considering THEY were the ones getting ripped off.

They were paying people to register voters and paying them proportionate to how many they registered, and the people they were paying were filling out false registration forms to collect bigger paychecks. It was NEVER about "voter fraud", it was abour defrauding Acorn out of their cash. There was ZERO chance "Mickey Mouse" was ever going to show up at a polling station and try and actually cast a vote. But the media didn;t really care about explaining it properly, ACORN liked Obama.... there was some kind of fraud going on... OMG, VOTER FRAUD IN OBAMA'S CAMP!!!

Gah...

4. They were required by law to submit all registration forms...
that were filled out. They also alerted authorities to the forms that they thought were not kosher, i.e., forms filled out for Mickey Mouse and other fictitious characters. The wingnuts consistently have lied about the facts and painted ACORN as some incredibly powerful interest groups that has swayed elections through "voter fraud" when there has been only a handful of cases of proven voter fraud and I don't recollect any being associated with ACORN. They helped register people. It isn't "voter fraud" until someone votes illegally.

8. Why does Dobbs slur his words?
Is there something wrong with him? Besides being a racist?

12. I can't believe I used to like him
During the days when he was doing the "Outsourcing America" series, I used to watch him every night. The series hit home because I was in a position of having to "train my replacements" while waiting to be laid off from my job at that time.

But, when Bush was declared the winner in 2004, and, his very first show after the election talked about Bush's "mandate", I never watched him again.

I think he is a first-class idiot.

19. Wonder if he mentioned the President's new Tax proposal to
discourage Outsourcing of jobs and American tax dollars?

I would guess NOT!

13. welcome to 2003?
i didnt mind the guy until he became obsessed with people who dont look like himself.

he actually had a pretty good pro-worker stance on some issues...

but he went bat shit with immigration and hasnt looked back on his decent into madness..

hes always been partial to the right, i just dont think he was a fan of Bush...
that being said, i think when the right started showering him with praise over his immigration stances he fell in love again.

i cant stand him now.
i always turn if i see his face pop up ANY where.

24. Did you know he also has a radio show?
I had no idea until last week. I was driving through Waco, TX and flipping FM radio channels when suddenly his voice filled my car. Believe it or not, he actually tones down his rhetoric when he's on television. The guy is a complete nut.
