Lou Dobbs bashing Bush on "Montel" today...excellent show!

[Blue_Roses]

I don't usually watch Montel, but was flipping channels and saw Lou Dobbs on so I paused to watch. It was a great show! They addressed everything from Katrina, warrentless wiretapping, healthcare, out-sourcing, and the port deal. Lou Dobbs said this administration is "arrogant" and when he heard Bush address this country as "my government" he said that this is alarming and it's time for "we the people" to LISTEN and take action to what is happening in our country before it's too late!

Montel said he would dedicate many shows to this issue from now on and for the next 2 years he's going to watch and report on this administration like a hawk.

:applause:

1. WOW Dobbs on Montel. I wonder if anyone has clips from that.

WOW is all I can say!

WOW!

[Blue_Roses]

3. I was surprised too

it was a good show. I don't usually watch Montel because of the time slot but it was worth it today.

[RazzleDazzle]

29. Yeah, me too! My jaw is on the floor. Good on Montel -- and Dobbs

too.

[Mythsaje]

2. Montel's one of the decent ones, IMO...

I've thought so for a long time.

Not that I watch any of it, but in the past I've seen how much he's willing to invest of his own time and energy to help people who needed it.

19. Hope he doesn't get canned as a result

They don't want anyone like Montel talking about the Bush.

[Minnesota_Lib]

30. As Obermann said, the powers that be may not like it......

...but as long as his show makes $$$$, they will ignore it. I sure hope KO was right.

37. Montel has admitted that he smokes pot to ease his

MS symptoms. He is big on healthcare issues.

I think he's a former Army Spook.

[ProfessorGAC]

42. Naval Intelligence

He was the second guy with the key on a nuclear sub for years. The gov't trusted him then. They can't exactly say much about him now.

He actually got arrested for pot in an airport. He said he didn't care and wasn't going to stop.

He has nearly the exact same form of MS as i do. Almost identical symptom set. I consider him brethren in pain.

43. We worked with them some back in my old

Army Security Agency days. One of my army buddies was to be transferred to the USS Liberty, but his orders got held up. If that hadn't happened he might have been in the radio room when that Israeli torpedo hit, or on one of the lifeboats they sunk. Yeah, I'm still pissed.

I have a friend with MS. He keeps losing his eyesight and partial use of his right side. I gave him a trackball mouse because he was having trouble with regular mice. When he's suffering an attack we communicate with iChat instead of e-mail. Even with MS and severe Colitis, he's still able to attract the babes.

44. Tell Him To Hang In There

My motto for living with MS is simple: Never surrender.

[alfredo]

45. He seems to be doing OK. He's not looking forward to summer

because of the lack of air conditioning in Poland. He has his rough moments, but usually he's upbeat. He has a good family support system and, unlike here, inexpensive healthcare.

4. i, too was channel surfing when i came across this show

it was EXCELLENT !!! Lou Dobbs and Montel gave no ground on issues of this 'arrogant' administration, wiretapping, healthcare.

i am going to email each of them to thank them!!

this is the type of show that will reach many people who haven't been paying attention or who have been indifferent.

Looks like every Tuesday will be called " America Speaks Out" on his show:

i'll be tuning in!

6. Who was the crazy blond woman

that kept arguing that we need warrantless wiretapping or we are supporting the terrorists? She almost made me mad enough to turn to Maury :grr:

[alphafemale]

11. Debbie Schlossel sp?

[emdee]

22. That was her name

she was so obnoxious!

I only caught the last 20 minutes and wanted to cut her microphone!

emdee

[alphafemale]

5. That blonde woman was so obnoxious. And Montel called her on it!

Several times! It was :woohoo: time.

She's one of the cable bushbot whores I think.

[Joe Fields]

15. I saw Debbie Schlosser on CSPAN 2 weeks ago,

arguing repub talking points on the war. She's just a conservative admin. mouthpiece.

[yorkiemommie1]

20. notice how she resorted to that smirky sneer

when Montel called BS on her talking points? I noticed Lou Dobbs just itching to take her on, also!

[alphafemale]

21. and eye rolling.

Montel said he's doing more of these shows.

But I'm wondering if she'll ever go back?

It might be fun to see Montel cut these rw twits off at the knees one by one!

Imagine Montel vs. Coulter.

Call Montel an anti American traitor Ann. Go ahead.

I double dog dare ya! :rofl:

[yorkiemommie1]

23. yah, montel ain't no alan colmes !!!

n/t

[SeattleGirl]

7. Damn, I wish I could have seen that!

Kudo's to Montel and Lou! :applause: :applause: :applause:

[Chimichurri]

8. Man, thanks for posting! I'm sad I missed it :(

Go Lou, Go Montel!

Bush is going down. I think his days are numbered.

[Ksec]

9. I saw the last three minutes when Montel

turned on the tears, damn hes good at that.

[RazzleDazzle]

31. Okay, tell us all about it

If you're going to be snarky and cynical, the least you can do is make your case, complete with DETAILS.

[Ksec]

36. Lets just say Montel is a master at turning on the tears

when its advantageous to his show. (ratings)

Montel is cool. I have nothing against the man but I calls em the way I sees em . If you consider that snarky , then so be it. I dont really care what you think.

[lovuian]

10. Whoo HOO!!!

:whoohoo:

[Cleita]

12. Send an email to Montel telling him you will watch him more

often if he dedicates more of his shows to these issues. This is stuff Oprah used to do but now backs away from. I watch Montel on Wednesdays when he has Sylvia Browne on but the rest of the week seems to be dedicated to weeping woman of the hour and I feel sorry for them, but feel they need to address their problems in a different way than on national TV.

I think Montel can do better too. I too will write him to encourage him in this. Montel hasn't aired in my area yet, but will be on in fifteen minutes so I will tune in. Also, Randi Rhodes said that she is going to be a guest on Lou Dobbs next Tuesday.

[jbnow]

13. Wish I'd seen it.

Don't tend to watch though I have liked Montel when I've seen him. I wish Lou had announced it on his show!

I will be checking on Tuesdays. It's good if daytime TV starts doing these shows.

Thanks

[Minnesota Libra]

14. Well, I'll just have to start watching Montel Williams and......

.....maybe even writing him occasionally. Don't usually watch his show.

edited for clarity

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

16. Good for them both. n/t

[Digit]

17. Did I hear him say he worked for the NSA for 12 years?

I loved the show and plan on emailing Montel to voice my support.
We could call it Wake Up America, Tuesday!
(by "him", I mean Montel)

Hey, did anyone else want to b*tchslap that blonde?
:patriot:

[otohara]

18. Good Discussions

hope they come back and do more

[RB TexLa]

24. So is Montel a Neo-Whig as well?

[Rainscents]

26. No, he is not!

[RB TexLa]

27. good, hopefully he challenged Dobbs on things n/t

[Rainscents]

25. I seen it too... great show!

Montel was crying at the end when he was discussing the lack of and high cost of prescriptions and health-care. I was ready to cry also.

[RazzleDazzle]

32. Ah, that's what brought the tears.

He's got a foundation or a charity or is hawking a charity that helps people with their prescription drug costs. I've seen some commercials for it, without really paying all that much attention to it.

You all do know, don't you, that he has Multiple Sclerosis? Diagnosed a few years ago and he's apparently doing really, really well with it so far. But then, he can afford whatever drugs there are. Not everyone is so lucky. He's compassionate and decent enough to KNOW that. He's a real decent guy, actually. I like him quite a bit.

[Geek_Girl]

28. Montel Williams?

I watch that show sometimes when I'm off work. It's usually just people discussing some horrible event in their life. I can't imagine his show taking on a more serious political frame for his show. I'll have to watch it the next time I have a chance.

[yorkiemommie1]

34. every tuesday his show will be " America Speaks Out"

he was hardhitting, as was Dobbs, and forceful and coherent in his take on the many failings of this administration. this is not the usual Montel fare.

[BlueJac]

33. Go Get Them Lou

:toast:

[Lorien]

35. Funny (and odd) Montel tidbit from 2004

A friend of mine's wife watches Montel regularly. My friend was at home when Montel had a psychic named Sylvia Brown on his show. This was when Dean was on the cover of Newsweek as the presumed Democratic nominee. My friend said that a woman in the audience stood up and asked the psychic if Dean would become President. Brown answered without hesitation "no, because he won't be the nominee; Kerry will". The audience member then asked if Kerry would win the presidency. Brown looked disgusted and said "Bush will have a second term-but he won't have it as easy as he's had it this time around. Eventually his own party will turn against him and he will fail at pushing much of his agenda through".(My friend said that it was obvious that Brown despises Bush) They then went on to other topics. Of course, I told my friend that I thought that psychics were nothing but con artists-but I have to admit, that one was fairly accurate so far.

[helderheid]

38. I have it TIVOd! Can't wait to watch!

[ellenfl]

39. i imagine his audience contains some bushbots so this is good. eom

[progressoid]

40. I saw the end of it. And they cheered when Montel ripped apart some

RW hack!

[malmapus]

41. He's a former Navy SEAL as well

So like to see them try to attack him as being un-patriotic or hating 'murika.

Wish I saw that show, espicially that bushbot getting a new one ripped heh.

Way to go Montel.
