Dobbs defends Beck over statement that Obama "has a deep-seated hatred for white people or the white culture"

Did Beck beg for your help ?

Oy vey! Only one minute and ten seconds, but SO much "FAIL."

"the guts to say what he meant" You know, if it was so fine, what he said, why do they keep distancing themselves from what he said? I can't say it nearly as well as MMfA did, but why isn't Beck standing behind those racist comments? Or Dobbs standing behind Beck's comments?

"That didn't work out too well for (Jones)." COMPLETELY ignoring that Jones had NOTHING to do with ColorOfChange's campaign. You know, since he's been GONE from the organization for two years.

Blatant attempt to try and re-frame the debate that the advertiser boycott was a counter-attack to Beck "exposing" Van Jones. And sadly...some are going to buy it.

Mr. Dobbs, you've just come out in favor of government sponsored media. You do realize this is a socialist idea, don't you? Where the government funds media in order to have control over content? You've become that which you railed against, because you allowed your passions to overcome your reason.

Follow Mr. Limbaugh's lead, sir, and take what is obviously a much needed vacation. By the way, for saying that Obama is trying to indoctrinate our kids, I'm going to be calling your sponsors...

Couldn't any offensive comment be justified with "the guts to say what he meant"? Would Dobbs think it was wonderful for someone to call Bush a mass-murdering terrorist if that person really meant it?

And give me a break with the First Amendment nonsense. I can't believe that anyone with an IQ of 50 genuinely thinks that this could possibly be a Constitutional issue.

I have to say it again..."Went full retard...you never go full retard"!

Wow! At the end of the clip, Dobbs' says hats off to Beck for standing up to to Color of Change. Funny thing is, Beck folded like a lawn chair and hasn't had the guts to back up his 'Obama is a deep-seated racist' claim. He hasn't dared mention it in a month. He either never actually believed it was true or he's too big a wimp to mention it anymore.

Small-Brained, bigoted, racist, demonizing, muckraking (Gee, I could go on and on!) sleazebags THINK ALIKE!
Doesn't surprise me....

Yep, we definitely need more right wing shock jocks since it's so hard to find them on the TV or radio. It's odd that Lou wasn't similarly impressed with Van Jones standing up and saying controversial stuff. One of these days you guys will have to tell us the correct way to be politically incorrect.

"morass of mediocrity."

Lou, you've hit on the perfect subtitle for your program.

Super Dobbs to the rescue!

His only kryptonite is the devastating effects of logic and rationality.

I disagree with Mr. Dobbs, Beck deserves everything he gets. What I want to know is why Beck is a member of a religion that doesn't allow Black people to join its priesthood or until 1978 believed we could only get into heaven as slaves? Now who's the racist?

so were in the afternoon lineup will fox fit lou in..??

How has Beck's first amendment rights been hurt? He can still say what he wants to say, and we can object to it.

How can a "news" person so horribly misunderstand the 1st Amendment? It is not a violation of your First Amendment rights for someone to disagree with you. It is not a violation of your First Amendment rights for someone to try to convince others to disagree with you. It is not a violation of your First Amendment rights for someone else to use their First Amendment Rights. A boycott is not a violation of anyone's First Amendment Rights. Not understanding that is absolutely pathetic.

Dobbs once again conflates a sponsor's boycott... which is an exercise in commerce... with a 1st Amendment issue. Neither Dobbs nor Dreck have a Constitutional right to a cable talk show. Since the government isn't involved with this boycott, there IS NO 1ST AMENDMENT ISSUE.

The more I listen to Dobbs, the stupider he sounds.

Dobbs' entire statement above is stupid.

First it wasn't Van Jones' group that went after Beck. Sure, he started the group, or helped to found it, but alas, he's not been involved with the group for several years now. You can't even really stretch and make that connection. And it wasn't things that Van Jones didn't like, it was things that Beck said that LOTS of people didn't like, including many of his sponsors.

There is NO trampling of his 1st amendment rights, because Lou, nobody made a law saying Beck can't say what he wants to say, as evidenced by his daily radio show, and also by his daily TV show, and also by the fact that, once again, government, did not pass a law abridging his free speech. I suggest Mr. Dobbs that you go back, and review the freedom of speech item within the Constitution, because you don't seem to understand it at all.

Coercion, as you say, of Beck's sponsors has nothing to do with freedom of speech, it's called free market capitalism. Meaning, his advertisers were made aware of certain looney things Glenn has been saying, and then were asked, do you really want to be associated with these things? And almost 60 advertisers said, no. We don't want to be associated with Mr. Beck because, he's nuts.

What does Laffer have to do with any of this? Nothing.

Beck had the "guts" to say what he meant? Sure he did, and what he said was stupid, wrong, and inflammatory, and he has been called out for it, rightfully so. What should be encouraged? People on news channels talking violent rhetoric and crazy talk Lou?

Again, Van Jones didn't attack anyone.

And Lou, once again, you're an idiot.

hmmm dobbs supporting a bigoted racist in the guise of gleen beck. given dobbs' own statements about hispanics and immigrants is it that much a surprise that that has occured?

Hmmmm, seems I remember not too terribly long ago a certain all-girl country band being banned from the airwaves because one of the members had the chutzpah to say at a concert in London that:

she was "ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas."

So, they were banned because the stations' listeners were irate over such criticism.

So, here we are a few years later with a well-educated, professional, compassionate POTUS. Suddenly, it's OKAY for an entertainer to spew his hatred/fear of this man, but it's not OKAY for sponsors to pull their advertising due to consumer complaints?

Oh, yeah, she's a girl ... he's a recovering alcohol/drug addict who loves to turn on the tears like a girl.

Jeebus!

I believe that glenn has barely scraped the surface, as far as exposing van jones/ barack hussein obama as the extreme racists that they are! With regard to reparations, obama said he wasn't in favor, and that it "didn't go far enough". He really meant that until he can break those honkies by breaking the back of the economy, he won't be satisfied.

"trampling all over the First Amendment" ?

Well Dobbs, I must have missed the part of the first amendment that mentions corporate sponsors.

If anything, by supporting Van Jones being fired about what he said, YOU are the one tempering with the first amendment.

Let's see here--according to Dobbs, Glenn Beck is using his first amendment rights to say that Obama is a racist. (That's speech talking about the government.) A nongovernment organization should therefore have the right to discuss nongovernment activities. (That's Glenn Beck is an idiot.) What about evidence and decency. (No evidence for Glenn Beck to make that statement, and not what a reasonable person would consider very decent either.) By Dobbs' logic, we should hear him standing up for antigovernment organizations such as KKK, American Nazis. Why is Dobbs still on the air?

Lou please stop for just a minute, I have to get off this circular logic before I throw up.
