Nobody, and I mean NOBODY, says anything ugly about Rachel Maddow! (She is after all the Alaskan bloggers FAVORITE cable news host.)
She is the smartest, fairest, and most intellectually honest commentator on the cable news channels. She is sooo much better than Lou "I hate me some Mexicans" Dobbs that it is not even funny.
And let me point something out Jethro. If you are not a "birther" then why do you insist that Obama produce his "original" birth certificate? If you really believed that he was an American citizen then you would not feel the need to make the request.
When has ANY OTHER American politician been asked to produce his original birth certificate? When?
The only difference between Barack Obama and every other President who came before him is that he is black. So how is this not racism?
I think it is time for Lou Dobbs to stop beating around the bush and simply appear on his show draped in full KKK regalia. I mean why not? Everything this man says demonstrates his complete prejudice against the non-whites in this country.
"Build a fence to keep the Mexicans out"
"Check the birth certificate of the black guy in the White House."
"I am against ethnic inspired holidays."
He tries to cover it up with dramatic pauses and the constant repeating of the phrase "in point of fact", which I assume he believes makes him sound erudite and debonair, but he uses it so much that it sounds much like Sarah Palin's constant overuse of the word "also".
Look Dobbs you may be able to impress the knuckledraggers that listen to your show, but if you pick a fight with Rachel Maddow she will totally eat your lunch for you. Do yourself a favor, shut up and stop trying to convince us that you are not simply the bloated remains of the Hitler youth that you once must have been.
It's free speech dude, gotta take the good, bad and the ugly.
ReplyDeleteDobbs was a Hitler Youth too ?
Who knew ?
You could say the same about the Pope and you'd be correct, but Lou Dobbs ?
How about Sarah Palin ?
If Dobbs is a symbol of old white men he has destroyed all credibility for his brothers. What a stooge.
ReplyDeleteI prefer my political analyst have a Phd in political science. Most of the analyst/commentators are complete idiots who make more noise than everyone else to get attention. It is a reflection of our culture that most people have stopped examining the facts for themselves. They are handed opinions by people who do not know what they are talking about.
ReplyDeleteI hope this finishes old Dobbs off.
ReplyDeleteDillingham could be worse than Wasilla.
Isn't that where Sarah invited the press to watch her fish? Do celebrities ever help these communities? Where did Todd grow up?
Did anyone catch this one?
Dillingham news director resigns after blog backlash
"By no means should this be interpreted to mean that I don’t like the place I live. Quite to the contrary, I love living in a place where I can be treated as a respectable personage simply by dint of being sober, employed and totally uninterested in having sex with relatives or children."

Sarah will exercise her free speech like Lou. They can get a radio show together and talk birth certifcates ad nauseum.
ReplyDeleteI was a fan of Lou several years ago. But one day he said something I didn't like, I don't remember now what it was, but I turned the channel.
ReplyDeleteI watched Rachel tonight, as usual, and she repeated what he said with a smile laughing it off. Rachel has such a great personality, so witty and she does such an outstanding job. She is definitely the best commentator on the tube.
No doubt Lou is watching her; maybe he'll learn something.
sorry to be off topic: Frank Baily "resigned" today. Kris Perry "resigned" today. I am liking this new Gov. already! C'mon Gov.Parnell, get rid of all of those high school friends of Palin! Is he cleaning house? Looks like it may be so!
ReplyDeleteMy opinion - it's time to stop writing anything that contains the names 'Sarah Palin' and 'President Obama' in the same essay.
ReplyDeleteI don't have cable television and even if I did, I wouldn't listen to right-wing lunatics, but I disagree that the birther movement is necessarily racist.
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Republicans (who seem to have become primarily a party of right-wing lunatics) hate Obama because he is black but because he doesn't agree with their right-wing lunatic values and policies. And they can't stand that this country has finally recovered its sanity and elected a non right-winger, and elected him by an overwhelming margin.
The birther movement is straight out of Karl Rove's playbook and is more about Swift-Boating and trying to take Obama down anyway they can, just like the Republicans successfully did with the decidedly white John Kerry.
John Kerry wasn't Swift-Boated on the basis of race and I don't believe Obama is being targeted because of race either. I don't think constantly yelling "racist" is helping the cause here - the cause here being to once and for all completely marginalize the right-wing lunatics from what I at least hope is the sane majority of Americans.
I might have the stomach to watch the video tomorrow. Your commentary was enough for now.
ReplyDeleteA personal attack on Rachel along with the birther nonsense will hopefully be the end of Lou at CNN. If it isn't, it will clearly show that CNN is vying for some of the Faux audience.
Celia Harrison - great comment!
I'm curious. Exactly how is *anyone* supposed to release their "original" birth certificate.
ReplyDeleteIt's not like the state gives you the ORIGINAL. Everyone single person that has their birth certificate has a COPY.
So, how exactly, do they expect HIM to be able to release the original? I'm pretty sure each state has regulations on how originals are to be handled. He's supposed to somehow circumvent these regulations to get his original birth certificate?
Then poeople would be all over his ass for abusing his power to get his original birth certificate rather than just having a copy like every other person in America.
Oh SNAP! You go Gryphen!
ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs is just one of CNN's new strategy to garner some attention. Keep the controversy going, ratings, ratings, ratings.
ReplyDeleteWhat CNN has not figured out is that he is another old white lame duck. They desperately need infusions of new blood but keep trying the same old same old.
"CNN Out Of Step With America" should be their new slogan.
Gryphen, I had hoped you would be the first to show the video of Pat Buchanan outing babygate on Hardball Monday night.
ReplyDeletehttp://www.politicususa.com/en/Buchanan-Palin#comment-8036
I love Rachel Madddow's style. She is truly brilliant.
Dobbs has always been a racist loon. He and Pat Buchanan could be happy over at FOX. They look like most of FOX's audience.
ReplyDeleteDobbs, like so many others in the media can see the money that pours in to people such as Beck Limbaugh, etc and wouldn't mind having a piece of it himself. If he can attract the conservative element to CNN and gain ratings then his contract becomes worth a lot more. When ratings go up, advertisers buy more spots. When you see someone acting stupid and illogical, follow the money trail, it is always there, one way or another.
ReplyDeleteBTW, Celia, I too prefer someone with actual knowledge of Political Science to do my commentary and then I like to look it up for myself if I find what they say interesting.
Like Fox, Dobbs, is on the do not watch list
ReplyDeleteLou Dobbs...lol, if anyone's a "teabagging queen" its him!!!
ReplyDeleteI hate these old racist bastards! I was watching them all on the Sotomayer hearings yesterday and they all made me sick. You know if it was the queen up there in her red naughty monkey's they would of confirmed her in a hot second, even though she is dumb as dirt. Why? She gives them wood & is White! LOL! Lou Dobbs fall into the category of ORB! And windbag!
And of course he jealous of Rachel Maddow. So many people watch her show and she is a up and coming media star.
Did anyone notice that he admits that Obama is a U.S. citizen, but never says he is a natural-born citizen? This is his cover for continuing to push this form of madness. Lou, you're not as smart as you think you are.
ReplyDeleteI am probably one of those on the left that Lou hates because I sent him an email last week telling him that his over-concentration on the birther issue is costing him viewers and damaging to all journalists.
The thing that ticks me off the most about Lou Dobbs is that he "thinks" he is a news reporter. What does that even mean anymore? Apparently, not much because I had to start reading blogs to really find out what was going on in Alaska with SP. Anyone with a brain knows that Obama was born in Hawaii and Dobbs has all the access to find this out so why does he even mention the "birthers"? Oh that is right - ratings!
ReplyDeleteI guess it is too much to ask that reporters verify "rumors" before they talk about them ad nauseum. It is even more appalling that CNN even puts this moron on the air.
The best thing about the internet is that we can now get the facts in a moments notice & we don't have to rely on some of the nitwits for their fair & balanced news. And I am sure every "real" newscaster is appalled that John Stewart was voted as the most trustworthy. Can't believe they even wonder why......
DebinOH
Dobbs is crazy - he's spouting nonsense regularly. There's also a rumor that Dobbs was actually born in Mexico, not in Texas, and so, he should show us his original birth certificate to prove that he is not an undocumented alien.
ReplyDeleteI also want to see a mental health certificate that certifies Dobbs, Beck, O'Liely, Malkin, etc. are mentally fit. Are these loons allowed near children?
I used to watch Lou Dobbs occasionally while I cooked dinner. Listening to him totally turned my stomach so I couldn't eat the delicious food I had prepared. The man is a racist.
ReplyDeleteHad the fortitude to listen to the audio this morning and immediately sent an email to Dobbs. I only addressed the birther issue as I felt mentioning his abhorrent personal attack on Rachel would detract from my message.
ReplyDeleteI question whether anyone other than Dobbs (he’s editor and manager of his show) will see the email and would like to send one to a general CNN account; but I couldn’t figure out to whom it should go as this clip seems to come from the radio show. Does anyone have a recommendation?
