      It sounds like lou dobbs bent over for limbaugh and got infected with the nasty and lying disease all wingnuts cable hosts seem to have. I guess he's jealous of the millions that limbaugh and beck make for starring on the goebbels network.

      0:20-0:24 Dobbs talks about those hyperbolic journalists associated with Klein.

      0:41-0:49 Dobbs compares journalists to the Brownshirts and the KGB.

      Does Dobbs have any room to complain about hyperbole here?

      Of course, credit where credit is due, I guess. He called them "Brownshirts of the left," at least tacitly admitting the truth that the original Brownshirts were a force on the political right. The standard rightie trope is, of course, that the Nazis were all San Francisco liberals.

        i think dobbs should try reading a little ezra klein instead of scanning headlines and fabricating the rest of the story or going on hearsay from others. klein notes that the human element of the bill has been completely ignored in ongoing discussions about health care reform and that it needs to be examined as part of this cost-benefit analysis. while klein rightfully calls lieberman out as unprincipled and petty, he also argues against dean and others about killing this bill, as there are a lot of aspects in this bill (i.e. expanded coverage, insurance regulations, individual mandate, health insurance exchanges, medicare commission) that are instrumental at reforming the system, albeit incrementally. try reading for a change lou!
