      Limbaugh, Beck & Dobbs?
      Are these just three expensive Door Knobs?
      Or do they remind us how our Great Grand Parents would somtimes use a "Corn on the Cob"
      Or do they show us how Americans can turn meaningless dribble into a good paying Job?

      Speak truth to power.


      Mr. News

        Hey, just say what you want to say, and stop with the rhymes. And this declaration that you are "Mr. News" who speaks truth to power is pretty obnoxious too.

          While I agree with you on this post (and others)...the "speaks truth to power" is a very powerful device. In a sea of lies, this phrase can be a lighthouse to the truth.
          And that's why this site and comments like yours are here...to discredit the Bullcrap that is being spewed out there.

            whats obnoxious is your trying to defend someone who got booted out of CNN for being clearly xenophobic.

      Deutsch is correct on all counts. One more thing: all these racist idiots are dangerous.
      Anyone who supports, speak for, or leads Tea Baggers are dangerous, because Tea Baggers, although mentally-challenged, are dangerous too.

      circus acts?! that is unfair...you are taking Rush and Beck out of context! they are legitimate news sources and important voices! How dare you call Dobbs racisit! his wife is Hispanic and his kids are Latino!

      Bias! Bias! Lies and distortions!

      lol yeah even now i couldn't keep a straight face trying to type this and sound indignant.....

      it is lovely to see Beck, Rush and Dobbs being called out for what they truly are.

      i don't think though calling Beck and Rush circus acts is descriptive enough though and does not grasp the true absurdity that those two are.

      as for Dobbs......well...the nail was hit on the head with that one.

          Anti ILLEGAL immigration causes... I don't think people should be breaking our laws to enter our country. My mom is a first generation American from LEGAL Hispanic parents, and my wife is a refugee from Laos. We are a productive, hard working, and law abiding family. No silver spoons, and no handouts here either. I'm a Afghanistan combat vet, and I'm about to spend a year fighting in Iraq, so it should come as no surprise to you that I do not support illegals sneaking into our country, nor do I support organizations like la raza. The illegal immigration problem must be resolved. It is a matter of national security. Hopefully, since I'm bi-lingual, I might be able to stand on the border one day and enforce our nations laws. Right now I'm occupied with conflicts abroad. Please don't take lightly our nations laws, my friends. We are in fact a nation of laws, not men.

            look up the group FAIR and tell me that they aren't Anti Immigration and run by a white Supremacist.

            im against illegal immigration too......but im not going to blame every societal ill on them. and i dont spew racist crap about them. thats the difference

            and as for laws.....if that were true then why are not bush and cheney under indictment for torture? why were they not impeached and thrown from office for lying to congress....something that Bill Clinton got slammed for?

            i pray for the day we go back to the idea of being a nation of laws and not men. im hoping our current president does that. but 8 years of bush and dick have so far disproved the idea we are a nation of laws and not men.

              I looked at the FAIR web site, and found an organization devoted to controlling both legal and illegal immigration. I didn't see anything that strikes me as being racist or white supremacist. It is possible that I missed something. It is possible that certain racist individuals that support the same immigration legislation that I do have become members of FAIR, but that doesn't mean that the organization is inherently racist. Instead of requesting that I prove the negative, wouldn't it be more reasonable for someone to prove the alleged racism? More specifically: "Anti Immigration and run by a white Supremacist".

                the southern Poverty Law Center lists them as a hate group? SPLC is pretty respectible and accurate in listing hate groups. is that enough?

                but for added meat here is a little something i found going through his bio on wikipedia. now im using the section but the memo that is cited i did read and believe me this is bad.

                "n 1988, shortly before a referendum in Arizona to make English the state's official language, a private memo written by Tanton was leaked to the media. In this memo, he expressed concerns about the potential political, cultural, environmental, and demographic impacts of continued high levels of Hispanic immigration into the U.S., especially if the Hispanic fertility rate remained higher than that of other ethnic groups. He ended by calling for limiting the flow of immigrants to a rate that would enable them to be assimilated. However, several of his questions and statements were provocative, such as: "Will Latin American migrants bring with them the tradition of the mordida (bribe), the lack of involvement in public affairs, etc.?", "What are the differences in educability between Hispanics (with their 50% dropout rate) and Asiatics (with their excellent school records and long tradition of scholarship)?", and "On the demographic point: perhaps this is the first instance in which those with their pants up are going to get caught by those with their pants down!"[14]

                After the media published the memo, several prominent members of U.S. English cut their ties with the organization, including advisory board member Walter Cronkite and its executive director Linda Chavez, a prominent conservative Republican columnist.[15] Tanton himself eventually resigned, although he complained that he had been smeared as a racist.[citation needed]"

                i mean come on.....walter cronkite cuts ties with this group because of this guys memo? maybe he isn't racist....but at the very least is very misguided and at wors he is racist

        oh and what about his appearance at a rally for FAIR....who's main guy has made a number of white supremicist remarks?

        you like to bash the president for having guys as advisors who have differing views from himself and like to call the president a communist. the same should apply to dobbs for being part of a rally thrown by a white supremacist

        It's nice to know that "spaish" is not a race.

        And this from someone who calls other people idiots. Welcome to right-wing-world.

      "Cotton Picking" use to be a common alternative to the word "The F word" (this site will not allow the real word even though it's not being hurled at anyone). They are interchangeable adjectives. He's not being racist at all. Calling him a racist for something so petty is most likely indicative of racist thoughts, and is highly offensive. I despise racists regardless of their skin tone or political ideology.

        what would you call dobbs then? intelligent and thoughtful? he has already lied a number of times and still lies even though he was caught and called out for it.

        he was part of a rally for a group who's been labled a hate group by the fairly reputable Souther Poverty Law Center.

        at worst dobbs is racist at best he is very misguided in his views
