1. How unsurprising that Dobbs would have a hernia over this.

Doofus. I bet he's fuming that an illegal immigrant from Kenya stole a job from a natural-born citizen!

[PNutt]

6. Dobbs Suffers From A Disease......

Rectal-Cranial Inversion.........He has his head up his butt!

[saigon68]

12. A Tractor and a Chain would be helpful

To pull his head out of his ass.

[LiberalFighter]

15. Dynamite

[47of74]

19. Even our biggest piece of John Deere equipment couldnt' get it out

Considering how far he's stuffed it up there!

[Chisox08]

24. Actually Dobbs is a Hieny Bird

For the people who don't know what a Hieny Bird is: The Hieny Bird is a bird that flies in perfectly concise circles until it flies up it own ass and disappears forever.

[Deja Q]

2. Apart from his radio show, what does the nasty piece of business Rush Limbaugh do for a living?

Nothing against Mrs. G. here, but it seems both sides have plenty of big careers doing nothing but bicker on a microphone and say everyone else is lazy. :eyes:

[Deja Q]

3. And another thing, where is the proof that President Obama and co. are big socialists?

Was Lou making a funny?

How does he define 'socialist' anyway? Is a socialist a person who goes around and does a lot of... teabagging?

[20score]

4. The two major factions of the teabaggers are the super-rich funders of propaganda

and the racists and ignorant xenophobes that make up the bulk of the teabagger protesters.

Lou Dobbs is one of the few to belong to both groups.

I'm guessing that what Olbermann and Garofalo said hit a little close to home for Dobbs.

[itsrobert]

5. Olbermann Watch?

Isn't that run by the childish blogger who whines over Olbermann's every word?

[Berry Cool]

8. Yep, it is. It's run by some guy named Bob Cox who is under the delusion that he is important.

His devoted Olbermann Watch readers are generally known as "Cox Suckers."

[cliffordu]

7. Lou snivels with the best of them, don't he???

[Jack Rabbit]

9. Lou Dobbs should go back and listen to himself

I have never bashed immigrants.

He actually said that without missing a beat. Unbelievable.

Dobbs had a couple of good points. First, Americans are tired of ideology, both from the left and the right. Ideology is nonsense, he said, and I would elaborate that it blinds the ideologue and gets him to say things that just aren't true. Second, Ms. Garofalo was wrong to tar all the tea baggers with the racist brush, although there was a lot more racism there than Mr. Dobbs will admit. Nevertheless, it was a silly thing to say. Perhaps it would be fair to suggest Ms. Garofalo is an ideologue prone to say silly things because they fit the cartoonish world view that ideologues have.

A point to make about the tea parties is that what may have started out as a grass roots affair by libertarians, who are not inherently racist, was soon smothered in astro turf by Republican politicians, organizers and publicists, including Fox News and Rush Limbaugh; these are demagogues who have no qualms about making racist appeals people who think Afro-Americans are lazy if any Afro-American holds a job, including President of the United States or NFL quarterback, he must be the beneficiary of some kind of hiring quota. So what started out as a grass roots movement expressing genuine concern for the dangers of spending more money when we're already in the hole was swelled by the ranks people who think President Obama is a gay Muslim Communist, an illegal immigrant and an abortion-performing terrorist. Now, there's a cartoonish world view that is the result of drinking the kool aid served up by Fox News and Rush Limbaugh.

[cboy4]

20. He goes out of his way to call Mexicans ILLEGAL ALIENS.

In fact, he insists on it.

That's bashing.

[Divine Discontent]

26. hey cboy4! ;)

:hug: how u doin!

Yeah, I chuckled when Lou-ser said he wasn't anti-immigrant... RIIIIIIIIIIGHT. What a jerk this whiner is. He sounded very pathetic in this vid, glad I watched it because it made me totally put him in the loser category, sorry I had any positive thoughts about him now. ha...

[cboy4]

28. Hey bud ;)

I'm actually sad tonight over my stupid hockey team.

I have no idea why I get so emotionally involved because it's nothing but heartache.

So yea.

As for Dobbs, I used to watch just to get a roundup of the news, but I had to stop because of his blatant immigrant bashing and smug editorializing of every news story like he's some sort of scholar. :eyes:

I have fewer headaches not listening to him, although it was a pleasure to hear him lose his composure on that clip! ha! :hug:

[Divine Discontent]

39. so those dang ducks are beating the sharks? no way!

sorry man. :hug: I have Joe Thornton and Jeremy Roenick cards, they gotta do better, I want to sell all my cards (in this economy they're prob not worth much, ha!)

well, here's to the sharks beating them in Anaheim.

[droidamus2]

34. Well, maybe

Yeah he is anti-immigrant as long as their the right kind of immigrant by that he means either WASPish or wealthy. I would suspect that wealthy would override any objections to race or ethnicity. Okay he's probably not quite that bad. Another thing is this 'beyond ideology' meme. Why is it that these people that are beyond ideology parrot the talking points of the far right? Does this mean they don't have any strongly held beliefs and can be easily influenced?

[hangman86]

10. So ummm.... Wundermaus.

Is there a point to this video?

[Berry Cool]

13. Other than trailing up and down Janeane Garofalo's body and focusing on her breasts

and showing closeups of every Lou Dobbs facial boil and zit?

If so, I can't fathom it.

I guess Mr. Cox or one of his minions like Johnny Dollar (Johnny Slug?) thought it would be some kind of "convincer" that would sell everyone once and for all on the idea that Keith Olbermann Is Too Evil to Live.

Swing and a miss again, boys.

[dalaigh lllama]

14. That's just what I was wondering

[wundermaus]

21. It was something I stumbled upon while

looking through the political videos at Youtube. It was fascinating and interesting to hear the M$M's ala Lou Dobbs spin on his observations and opinions of progressives and liberals. I think Lou Dobbs did a great job of covering all the talking points heavily seasoned with hypocrisy, irony, and pathos. Just thought it was worthy of sharing here as an example of the hollow, soundless screams of a neocon mouthpiece in a vacuum preaches to their corporate minions and slaves.

[hangman86]

31. Fair enough.

:)

[never cry wolf]

11. I agree with Lou

It is sad to watch and embarassing to the country.

SO, SHUT YOUR PIE HOLE LOU!!!!!

Almost every damn sentence he utters is projection. Who is in the majority again?

[MrModerate]

16. Sure, Lou . . . "zaniness" is really what Americans fear most . . .

From their news media. Sheesh!

Let me tell you -- I'll happily take a double-scoop of zaniness over two bags of supercilious fatuity any day.

As a matter of fact, I disagree with Garofalo -- I think racism is toward the back of the pack here. These platoons of putzes are in the street because 1) they're scared generally, 2) they've been fed easy answers by Fux News and its analogs and wouldn't know reality if it bit 'em on the ass, and 3) the world has grown too complex for them to cope with and they're lashing out. Oh, and yes, 4) a black man has shown them that he's smarter, cooler, stronger, and has a better-looking family than they ever will. It's just not fair!

These are serious issues, and just because the lampreys, leeches, and ghouls of the right are jerking off at lightspeed to spurt their jism into the slimebucket doesn't mean that this can just be wished away. The ghost of Timothy McVeigh haunts every one of these demonstrations.

[tomm2thumbs]

17. Dobbs was obviously bothered by this - hahahaha - dimwit

At least be a better actor at feigning being not-upset... he is wearing it on his sleeve. Poor guy

[Skip Intro]

18. He got called out and responded like a moron. He must be jealous as hell of Keith Olberman.

[cboy4]

22. LOL. Lou is one of the more notorious racists on television.

That was a thing of beauty by Janeane!

Dobbs was beside himself with anger. :thumbsup:

[Norrin Radd]

23. I do believe I sense a worst person in the world nomination

for Dobbs coming up tomorrow.

[Hutzpa]

25. Can't stomach to listen to rest of that thrash

he must have been speaking idiocy, talking about working class Americans
:rofl: like Lou Dobbs knows who they are...just wasted 2min of my precious
time plus another 1min typing this.

[pam4water]

27. What happened to Dobbs? He was old school republican and suddeenly did a 180 and was sane and

insightful for a year the suddenly he turned 180 again and is ever farther to the right than he was before. He got some mild criticism of his position on immigration and suddenly he's rabidly foaming at the mouth chasing 'liberals' like mad dogs chase cars up and down the street.

[destes]

29. "What Happened", you ask.

Talking heads are like compasses in that they always point the same direction. The direction that increases their celebrity. Whatever makes them the most heard or seen at the moment.

Lou is, of course, shameless but he has at least one angle pretty well cornered. His own PR frames his bipolar politics as exemplary of his "rugged individualism".

It's similar to me framing my state of unemployment as exemplary of my "independent means".

[burning rain]

30. He is some kind of deranged, & I can't be sure as to the source of it.

I give him credit for having been a rare US teevee newsguy to tout the benefits of ignorantly and maliciously maligned Western European social democracy for working class folks, but that past virtue makes his present vice all the more glaring since, after all, Obama is more capitalistic than them thar Yurpeens, so that if Dobbsypoo were being logical and consistent, he would be criticizing Obama from the left.

I deplore Dobbs' hostility toward anything "ethnic," but I still hope he starts walking back toward the light, because at least on some working folks' issues, he's been remarkably sane and humane and leftish, moreso even than most visible liberal Democrats.

[Enthusiast]

33. 'They' changed his mission.

If you remember correctly Lou was on an extended break. When he came back he was magically transformed.

[and-justice-for-all]

32. KO will mangle this melon, I'm sure of it...nt

[Puzzler]

35. Mr. "Independent"... my ass!

.

[Hubert Flottz]

36. The same CNN that loved Glenn Beck long time!

Lou you're about through!

Edit...CNN, breeding ground/spring board for so many FOX scumbags...Who's next? Lou's next!

[Patiod]

37. Wow, - how awful of her to have an ETHNIC name

Makes Lou Dobbs even more crazy

"What a name - Garofalo"

Why not a good AMERICAN name like Peterson or Evans or....Dobbs!

[Divine Discontent]

40. LOL... I know. when he said that 'GAR-A-FA-LO" I was like, Lou you look old & crazy

and childish.

[underpants]

38. I did not know that Hannity did a Lou Dobbs impression

Well he certainly laid it all out there. I guess "appalling" isn't "hate filled" or "elitist" somehow.

They mentioned Lou Dobbs (you have to mention his whole name or it doesn't count) and he had to respond.

Scotch before noon Lou?

[Joshua N]

41. I see

Only he can whine.

[Joshua N]

42. Oh,

and he claims to have nothing against immigrants while mocking Garofalo's "funny name" in the same sentence.

[butterfly77]

43. Notice how he had to take a swipe at Obama at the end...

where he said "Audacious Hope". Sometimes the truth can be nasty. Too bad Lou Dobbs can't handle the truth Independent/Populist my ass..

[ecstatic]

44. LMAO @ the callout of Lou. Truth hurts,

doesn't it Lou-you racist f*ck!!! And Lou has some nerve complaining about biased media. He is the most disingenuous, bigoted POS on the air!
