      What is the distinction between Louie and the Becks, O'Reilly's and Hannity's of the world. None that I can see. He is making partisan attacks on the radio and on CNN. Unbiased newscast my you know what.

      In other news, Obama has announced that he supports a policy of Lou Dobbs NOT punching himself in the face for a full half-hour every day.

        Well -- I guess that's one policy of Obama's I'm going to HAVE to disagree with, as I fully support Dobbs punching himself in the face for a full half-hour each day.

        I figure if Dobbs continues to do so, eventually he'll pass out -- in both the metaphoric and literal senses. :)

          I must agree with the president on this one...


          I dont think a half hour is long enough he's gotta go at least as high as 45 min if he wants my vote

      Remind me again of an Obama policy that Loony Lou liked.
      Anyone?
      Just one policy.
      Come on, there had to be one.

        He pays about 75K a month more for ciggs since the tobacco legislation was signed by Obama. That was the tipping point for Lou.

      Prememptive oppostion to any policy Obama might ever propose makes Dobbs exactly what we always knew he was: a partisan hack.

        This kind of thinking is endemic with conservtaives. To them, "liberal" is enough of a reason to oppose ANYTHING. They don't even have to know what the issue is, or what's being proposed. Liberal = Bad.

        ANd they'll accuse us of the same thing, but it's nonsense. We don't "hate the free amrket" for example. We merely don't think its the best method for every situation. But to tyheir puny little binary minds, either you love something all the time as much as your first born son or you HATE it as much as they hate anything liberal. (Putting aside that they can never tell you what actually WRONG with anythig liberal!) The same kind of nonsense can be seen in their debates on abortion, unions, religion, patriotism... they assume that because we don't share their psychotic zeal, that we MUST have equal zeal for the exact opposite of their position. Uh... no. Moron.

        So yes, Lou. By all means, shut your brain off and just say the opposite of anything President Obama says. Or better yet: Just shut you MOUTH and try to wrap your head around TheKidFromKountyMeath's proposed policy.

      IOW, Lou, you're moving from being Bill O'Reilly lite to Sean Hannity.

      Good to know.

      Lou,
      You did this like 6 months ago. You just now are catching on. I will not watch a single second of CNN EVER until Dobbs is no longer getting a paycheck. I may deface the property when I am in ATL next. Just kidding, just about the defacing part, seriosly.

      I cannot help, but feel a little sadness. Dobbs was a pioneer on 24 hour news. Now he has become just another pathetic little freak show.

      So Lou Dobbs is a Quincy Wagstaff Independent?

      I don't know what you have to say
      It makes no difference anyway
      Whatever it is, I'm against it!
      No matter what it is or who commenced it
      I'm against it!

      Lou Dobbs has grown so centered, so introspective that he's actually been forced to speak out of his belly button!

      (You should've used the past tense, Lou. You aren't moving anything, unless you had an extra helping of bran this morning.)

      Doesn't Lou realize that everthing he is accusing Obama of doing, was done by the previous administration? Obama didn't wiretape american citizens' phones and e-mail accounts. He has not signed hundreds of signing statements to set him self up as a dictator. No, that was W.
      I used to like to watch FOX and CNN just to get the other side of the story. But these people have gone off the rails. It's so offensive anymore that I can't stand to even watch the clips most times.
      Average americans have now joined the astro-turf paid protesters in opposition to healthcare reform that will benefit everyone. The Healthcare industry is paying huge millions to save thier huge billions. Right wing pundits are raking in ratings (and money) by terrifing their own audiences. They are all gaining from this hysteria they have created.
      If they do stop healthcare reform (this liberal does't think so)The protesters will celebrate for a day. Then when they realize the have not gained a thing for themselves, I wonder who they will blame?

      Dobbs--independent!? What a joke. Like most of his brothers and sisters in the Corporate Controlled Media he gets his marching orders from a higher authority (Hint: not his intellect or set of moral sensibilities). Dobbs is a piece of meat with eyes: a brain dead, soulless, waanker(misspelled to get it by our robotic word police) that might as well just move his mouth while his paymasters dub in their board-approved propaganda. A bad Hong Kong produced gōngfū movie. Like all of them he contributes nothing to the discussion and less than nothing to our collective well being. Excuse me--I have to take another shower--just reading about Dobbs makes me feel disgustingly filthy. Dobbs--you are not now, or ever have you been, an independent thinker. You are the butt of your own joke--nothing more.

      If rapidly-aging Lonely Lou Dobbs realy believes that there are any intelligent Americans out there who have ever thought about him as being "neutral" about anything, or have ever considered him as being an "Independent," then old Lonely Lou is really losing it a lot more rapidly than everyone currently thinks. That, BTW might explain some of his recent tirades...
