Lou Dobbs: "We can't walk and chew gum. Not with this
government, not with this administration." Spoken while angrily pointing his finger at female guest. She was for illegal immigration, I assume, and Lou didn't agree with her.

10. Yep - I love the quote! Lou Dobbs has really been on fire lately.
It's rare that I post first, someone always beats me to it... :)

2. Dobbs - he is the guy that hates Mexicans, right?
He is also a cheerleader for the Iraq invasion, right? (I don't watch m$m, but I did see Dobbs on Real Time - he was giving props to Nader).

Are you a Dobb's fan?

4. Lou Dobbs is a Bush-hater and we need more like him
The fact that he supports blue-collar US workers is another issue.

Dems used to be the Labor party.

5. I guess he ain't a bad guy,
I think that he might be the second best out there. In the M$M. I still think that Dobbs is a Bush-bot.

After all, he is against the Iraq Invasion. Nevermind his fascist tendencies...

9. I prefer an anti-war brownshirt over a bush-bot I guess
I have heard Pat Buchanan (and Dan Quayle, Bob Dole) say some mean things about the BFEE. :)

14. The "illegals" aren't taking American jobs away
The enemies are the Government and Corprations... not desperate people being made into a slave caste....

Everyone's falling for it AGAIN: divide and conquer labor... that's what this is, too.

16. Dobbs is very tough on immigration, which many DUers
take issue with. I don't think it's fair to say because of that he "hates Mexicans".

20. Dobbs does not hate Mexicans
Edited on Mon Mar-27-06 08:08 PM by Elwood P Dowd
Some of you are worse than the freepers when it comes to making up shit.I can't tell you how many times Dobbs has emphasized that corporations and businesses are using the illegals by paying them slave wages and also driving down wages for US workers.

Dobbs is no longer a cheerleader for Bush. In fact, he has been pounding on the Bush administration every day for months. He is putting out more truth on this crowd than any other corporate media show. You people obviously are not watching his show.

13. Thanks - I didn't catch her name, and never saw it at the bottom of the
screen. I just caught the very tail end of the segment, but I could tell Lou was not a happy camper.

18. Cracked me up that the guy wouldn't stop talking and I heard him
yammering on in the background while Lou read the poll.

21. Saw Bill Richardson on Dobbs, he said immigrants do jobs
Americans won't do. I find it hard to believe that there are 14% of the construction jobs Americans won't do. Then he said immigrants pay taxes, just how in the hell do they pay income taxes or SS taxes. And by the way Bill they are not immigrants they are (illegals aliens).
