      Dobbs,
      No one was sent to attack you. If you can't take the heat, forefit you 7 figurre check CNN writes you every year. I think what really has sent Lou over the edge regarding Obama is the regulation of tobacco he signed into law. You want to get Lou's panties in a wad, just mess with his cancer sticks and he will bring the full force of emphesemia on his enemies.

        If you don't think he has watch dogs looking into Lou think again, ask Bill O'rielly, his taxes were AUDITED 3 years in a row by CLINTON and he warned them if it happened again he would sue....no issues since...If you don't think he has power to wield the pawns of our gov't to do his dirty work think again. Why do you think Obama's not out there selling the OBAMACARE....his time on TV didn't help at all...he couldn't explain it He is a rookie and he can't handle the job. Less than 1/2 a year in the Senate, crooked dealing in Chicago, 20 years of hate in church, but The LORD will issue some things his way that he rightly deserves. Starting with the people standing up for themselves, especially in the town halls, but hopefully by having the states get their constitutional rights back...I pray we see it happen in less than 4 years but the amount of $$ in DC leads me to think otherwise. Too much $$$ to overcome.

          Do a little fact checking "1/2 a year in the Senate". I don't think so. Maybe study rhetoric a little too. You seem to be alternatly ranting and arguing with yourself.

          chip, I am going to assume that was a joke post. It was actually pretty funny how you tried to sound like an ignorant, partisan, nut that gets all his info from right-wing radio and Fox news. You sounded alot like them only crazier. If it was not meant as a joke, the bad news is you are the joke.

          I especially love the part where the almighty federal government was out to get O'Reilly until he threatened them then they backed off in fear. So, the goverment is all powerful and also scared of Bill O'Reilly? Interesting cognitive dissonance. Put down the Bible for a few days and read some more current books, my friend.

      Well ok, as a survival tip wear two pair of socks for a while and keep a kitchen chair arround to jump up onto.
      Oh and brief your staff. If they should suddendly be exposed to a grown man standing on a chair screeching about gerbils, this could be unsettling to their fragil world view.

      Dobbs,

      Calm down. You don't have to yell at anybody. You talk about the polls. I just don't know who the hell these organizations poll, people with and/or without health insurance?. What kind of questions do they ask? There is no final bill. So what bill are they polling people on. They are asking questions about something that doesn't exist. As far as I know, the president wants a deficit neutral bill at least for the next 10 years. So Mr. drama take it easy.

      One more thing: The watchdogs are here to stay.

        Man, it's tough to keep up. First this site was under the control of Hillary Clinton, then George Soros, then Barack Obama, then back to Hillary I believe. Now it's an official White House Assault Squad?

        Just more whiny=baby victim mentality from the thin-skinned wingnuts. I'm sure it was nice before there were any groups documenting the mainstream media, when they could run their 24/7 GOP infomercials without any interruption by "facts" or "reality". Now suddenly Dobbs and the rest of his ministers of propaganda want everybody to feel sorry for them.

        Maybe Lou's competing with Hannity for Pansy of the Year.Hannity must have more than 20 hours a week between tv and radio, where he spent more than a year spreading every ridiculous lie and smear about Obama that he could.

        And in response to his thousands of hours of Obama Derangement Syndrome, Seannie has compiled 4 or 5 clips of Obama mentioning Hannity's name, and uses these to whine about the "attacks" on his poor widdle self.

        Man up, wingnuts. You started the game, and you've played dirty all the way. You can complain about the other side playing at all, even honestly, but it just shows you for the sissies you are.

          Was Lou a respected journalist before this? Because now he sounds like a ranting self-obsessed radio hack that isn't talking about news but only HIS news. Where is the news on his show? ATTACK THE PRESIDENT JOCKS are tiresome. I still wait for GOP plan for future, but my hair is getting a bit gray now.

            I know I shouldn't waste my time, but just for fun, I'll try to straighten you out, POinty.

            Here's what happened; Lou Dobbs promotelong-debunked lies and propaganda on his tv show. A media watchdog cite made note of it. Dobbs whined that the White House had sicced it's dogs on him, piling on another lie.I suggested that Dobbs "man up", stop playing the victim, and show a little of what we adults call "personal responsibility".

            He did the crime, he's gotta do the time.

            I'm not familiar with the Hillary beer joke, heard something vague about a Mad B*tch beer, but I'll go take a look at how "crazy this site went, and let you know if you've made a valid comparison.

            I'm assuming this is your Exhibit A, since it's the only thing you mentioned aside from wild generalizations and your usual goofy opinions.

            brb.

              Cant wait to see what BS you come up with. And keep in mind the hillary beer reference I made was to counter your view that conservatives always play the victims.

              And BTW COL, whats with all your sissy and pansy references.

              Sissy
              Sissy is a pejorative for a boy or man to indicate that he fails to behave according to the traditional male gender role.
              http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sissy

              Pansy
              A sissy, f*g, fairy, or one that is generally unmanly.
              http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pansy

              Should a card caring dem like you really use terms like that? I am ashamed of you. Especially after all the crap you gave AA for the term he used. You owe an apology over this one.

              The Gay Rights Community would not approve of you using those terms like that.

                Hi POinty,
                did you see this comment to you from JBrantow on one of the beer threads?

                You sound like an adolescent whiner. Leave your mom's basement already.

                Really sums it up.
                OK, I saw 4 items about the Hillary reference, some good points made, but nothing I was interested enough to read or comment about until you mentioned it.

                I think MM noted this because (aside from being a really bad attempt at comedy) as others noted, this would've caused outrage if aimed at a mainstream repub like Palin.

                Here's where you're confused;

                Dobbs is a victim for complaining about being caught spreading misinformation (not miss information, btw- make a note)

                You're calling MMFA a victim for noting some mild sexist comments about HRC.

                Very different things to any rational adult.

                My use of sissy and pansy aren't in the sexual orientation context, only for Dobbs being weak and childish. There are different meanings, as you noted.You may automatically think of them as being anti-Gay, but that's just you projecting.

                I've never been registered with a political party, so your "card-carrying Dem"remark is another mistake you've made.

                I don't owe anybody an apology. If you consider calling a whiny old man who gets busted on his lies a sissy equivalent to calling the first African American president the NOTUS, then I'll just say you're entitled to your opinion. I don't share it.

                BTW,Do you have any links to Hillary claiming that the WAPO "comedy" bit is the GOP's junkyard dogs being loosed on her?

                  I'd like to correct something from the 4th paragraph;

                  this [probably] would've caused outrage if aimed at a mainstream repub like Palin.

                  Because I call a lot of the wingnuts for this sort of speculation, I try to avoid it. My statement is very likely, based on history and our medias habits, but I won't state speculation as fact.

                  If I missed anything else you were confused about, I apologize. It is a lot of work to be doing for free, pointing out all of your mistakes. But it's fun too!

                  HMMMM interesting Col, I cant find any definitions for sissy and pansy to mean childish. Interesting you use words very hurtful to the gay community, and then deny thats how you meant them. But as I have said many times, being a dem means never having to say you are sorry.

                  I am sure the next time a conservative uses and anti gay slur you will be this understanding.

                    I cant find any definitions for sissy and pansy to mean childish(Pointy)

                    You just posted one.

                    one that is generally unmanly(Pointy)

                    Do you think childish and manly are generally used to describe the same person?

                    Slowly... think about it... manly... childish... different

                    I can't be responsible for your homophobia.If you really want to use anti-gay slurs, I won't stop you, but I don't need to be understanding.

                    Good try at picking out one thing to nit-pick, though. Utter failure, as usual, but nice try.

                      Sorry Col. That explanation does not cut it. unmanly does not mean childish. Unless of course in your world all children are boys and not girls. I understand your problem Col, as a slightly more than middle aged man, you grew up in a time where anti gay slurs like sissy and pansy were ok to say. But you Progressives have evolved past that.

What happened to the orignial argument that you were so sure about? That the whiners are on the left and not Lou Dobbs? Gave up on that one once Col busted you? Sad, sad, sad....

                          The col was so far off in his original argument that a simple reference to this very site defeated him. The col is great at 10 cent words but not much on backing anything up. If you and the Col want to make fun of the gay movement all day then feel free.

                          I don't think there's much chance of that, MikeHuck. Once Pointy digs his heels in on a losing idea, he starts to believe himself.

                          I'm sure he could distract his friends by focusing on his sissy=gay obsession and avoiding showing all of the liberal victims he imagines, and I think he may have even tricked himself this time.

                          Fun to watch, though.
