Lou Dobbs is PISSED. Wow.

[Blue_Roses]

I knew he was mad about this Dubai deal, but he just fired off with a comment: "why would we continue to keep a government who does this?" (paraphrasing here) He then fired off several email of listeners--all bashing Bush--and you could see fire and smoke coming from his words. Yikes!

I've seen him mad about out-sourcing, but this takes it to a whole new level.

[ayeshahaqqiqa]

1. Well, we're outsourcing our security,

if you think of it that way, I can see why Dobbs and a lot of other folks are really angry!

[Sequoia]

2. Katrina still makes me angry too. Still suffering down there

and no help in sight.

[FearofFutility]

43. I saw a brief clip yesterday

They are bringing in cadaver dogs to find the missing. Seven months later?! What has happened to our country?:cry:

[malaise]

45. They found the body of a 55 year old man yesterday

He's been dead for six months. What a disgrace.

[FearofFutility]

47. I'm sick. I hadn't heard that...

There are still so many missing.........

[Blue_Roses]

9. oh, definitely

I just don't think I've ever seen him this mad. He's always leaned toward Bush's side, but this is setting Lou in a new light for me.

[movonne]

23. Do you think that this could be their agenda..Cheney resigns, bush

puts McCain in as vp, then impeach bush an voila McCain is president..I don't trust these media whores at all...I hope I'm wrong about Dobbs, but I just don't trust any of them..They could be setting up an impeachment...

[Raydawg1234]

26. no. sorry but that really is gross speculation.

McCain is not a mainstream Republican. Being that he is perhaps the only Republican I would consider ever voting for, I greatly doubt this would ever happen. I think hell would freeze over first.

[movonne]

32. Tell where McCain is not mainstream...torture, well thats a joke we

are still doing it...otherwise where does he differ with bush...just because he is someone you would vote for does not make him a great guy..have you seen the pictures with his arms around bush???

[Blue_Roses]

27. no. definitely not.

I think Lou is genuinely pissed. He is sick of out the out-sourcing and he's always talking about our borders. He's a conservative, not a neo-con. Big difference. Very few "conservatives" left from the GOP that think like this any more.

[Jack from Charlotte]

21. Lou just drilled John fund a new orifice.....

on the port sell out. Also, brought up the massive debt the AWOL/moron administration has rung up with a Repug house and senate and taking over huge surpluses.....

Cool. Some media guy finally said what's been so obviouse for 5 plus years.

[Deja Q]

39. And why were the ports sold to the UK in the first place?

This selling to the UAE deal is "just business", by their own definition.

But it's not just business, damn it. It's national security of a high calibre. It is not racism either, you cynics can sod off.

[peacetalksforall]

3. We're being destroyed, announcment by announcement. nt.

[MasonJar]

4. Good for him. n/t

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

5. So the question becomes...

"If...and when...the Dubai deal goes through, what next?"

"If "our president" goes to India and talks about the outsourcing of jobs and how he KNOWS it's "painful," but vows to BLOCK any "protectionist" policies preventing FURTHER outsourcing, what next?"

"If 2300+ American men and women are dead in Iraq because of a war that Bush lied about, what next?"

"Rove, Plame, Abramoff, DeLay, etc. etc. etc., what next?"

Dobbs is pissed and so am I.

Bush is still president.

Suggestions, Lou? Other than just being pissed?

[Raydawg1234]

29. further suggestions.......would require getting up off the couch..........

...........would require courage..........would require taking a stand........In this Country?......I doubt it.

[Bush_Eats_Beef]

31. Read this thread (WSJ's take on impeachment)...

...and you'll see what I mean.

At some point, "we" (the Democrats) either take Bush down or let him finish off his 3 years (and America, or whatever is left of it):

:patriot:

[Raydawg1234]

34. at some point we will have to concede that the government is broken beyond

the point of being fixed. The question is, what then?

[lisby]

37. We already know what the answer is.

I think the future may be a violent one here, once the masses of young men get angry enough. Historically, that's really the key to popular revolution once all other options are proved futile, hasn't it? I think this will only happen here if all viable options are tried and if the economic situation for the poor gets even worse. We still have it too good right now.

[Faygo Kid]

6. Lou is rapidly becoming Da Man

His passion is exactly what we need in this DLC era. You go, Lou!

[goforit]

36. A true leader in the mist.........Bring it on Lou!!!

[Nitrogenica]

7. Very refreshing. I bet there are comments he made about *

that he regrets in the year that led up to the 2004 elections. Time for a search.


4 more years

[BlueEyedSon]

10. cute pic & caption

[benburch]

11. As long as he is on our side now...

...no need in dredging up his past.

Though no doubt the freepers will anyway.

[jimshoes]

28. Or this

4 more beers.

[Nitrogenica]

33. Not photoshopped pic.

[BlueEyedSon]

8. If one looks ahead 10-20 years (even a capitalist), one sees that the

destruction of the US middle class is ultimately a BAD thing for everyone.... despite the opportunity for short-term gains.

[benburch]

12. The only people who do not care...

...think the Rapture is coming before then.

[BlueEyedSon]

19. Dissagree.... the mega rich have no allegiance to any country or religion

and geography is no obstacle... they'll have gated communities here in the US and whatever other 10 countries they have mansions in around the world. Their yachts won't have any dangerous unemployed starving ex-middleclass riff-raff.....

They are not religious. They are greedy and cynical and the next world is of no interest to them.

[SofaKingLiberal]

13. 'This government is telling the people to go to hell"

Go Lou!

[BlueEyedSon]

22. More like: "This government, taking their marching orders from the ruling

elite, is telling the people to go to hell."

[Blue_Roses]

14. oh, my... he just said

that this government is basically telling the American people to go to hell
:wow:

[peanutbrittle]

15. whoa.....the dem strat said" ruling class elite"

Lou was waving him down to shush

"ruling class elite" over the line?

[One Voice]

16. Tell em Lou !

:woohoo:

vote at http://www.loudobbs.com

[Karenina]

17. He's an actor

with script in hand.

[New Government]

20. Nope

Lou Dobbs has deep convictions. Read his book. I heard a radio interview call-in show with him and thought, "This guy should run for president as an independent." Yes, I'm serious.

[Karenina]

51. Ernst, aber nicht sehr klug.

:eyes:

[Jackpine Radical]

54. Wahrscheinlich.

[New Government]

18. Could Lou be Ross Perot without the eccentricity in '08?..nt

[BlueEyedSon]

24. He's a little more telegenic!

[0007]

25. Just a tad, LOL!

[shadowknows69]

30. I would support that

before a Clinton run. Flame away.

[Maru Kitteh]

35. I'm with you, no flames here n/t

[in_cog_ni_to]

38. Dobbs is a warmonger.

I think we need a DEMOCRATIC president. Dobbs was one of the BIGGEST cheerleaders for the idiot-in-chief's illegal invasion of Iraq.

[napi21]

40. Did you hear the one email he read about Dubai trying to shut him up?

Somebody wrodt "I bet there's ore than Dubai that would like to shut you up! I bet the Bush Administration would like to shut you up too!"

I really laughed at that one! Lou is the producer of his own show and I'm sure HE icks the emails he wants to read on air!

I, like the emailer also would love to know if the admin. has tried to shut him up, or get him kicked off CNN?

[Raydawg1234]

41. I think you missed the point, that email was complimenting Dobbs

for sticking it to the Bush admin. Which leads to the conclusion that the Bush admin. would probably want to shut him up.


p.s. may I suggest spell check?

[napi21]

42. No I didn't miss the point at all!

I still think people from the admin. has already tried to get CNN to shut him up! I'd just like to know how often, and who?

And TS if my spelling bothers you!

[spanone]

44. Did you see Lou when the COO of Dubai Ports said he needed

to educate Americans. Lou was dripping with sarcasm.

[Hekate]

46. Dubya & the Dubais have been unbelievably condescending & arrogant...

...about the concerns of the American people! As in: it's understandable that the average American doesn't have the time to become educated about this issue, but Bushco knows what's best for us, so we should just trust them.

Right -- we should trust them. :rofl:

I'm loving Lou on this issue.

Hekate

[B Calm]

48. I thought Lou was going to kill the repuke who started blaming unions

....

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

50. That repuke was John Fund

Dobbs got very red-faced and looked like he was about to explode. I also thought Dobbs was going to punch him out at one point (and may have been thinking about it) for trying to blame it all on unions and working people for the fact that no American company wants to bid on the port contract. Fund looked like he wanted to disappear through the floor.

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

49. He's gonna be tapped on...

...the shoulder, if he hasn't been already, and told to tone it down if he wants to stay at CNN.

[Disturbed]

52. Will Lou say "It is time to Impeach Bush and Cheney?

I feel that he is getting close to that.

For those that think that Impeachment for those two criminlas is impossible, think again!

[Mr_Jefferson_24]

53. I have an idea he might. His anger with BushCo is not faked. nt.

[BlueIris]

55. His xenophobia bugs, but I must say, I love it when Lou Dobbs is pissed.

It's so heartening. At least he still can be.
