I still respect Lou Dobbs.

[Selwynn]

His ongoing stance against outsourcing and his general stance in favor of workers (plus his ability to stand up to guests) really means a lot to me.

9. I am reminded how quickly Dean was brought in line on this issue.

I was watching the spy segment and it really brought it back. He implied he thought we should be fair. Brownstein was correct about the lack of difference. Here is the letter he got from his own party:

September 10, 2003

The Honorable Howard Dean
P.O. Box 1228
Burlington, VT 05402

Dear Governor Dean:

We are writing to respond to your comments on the Middle East at a recent
campaign event and in Tuesday's candidate debate and explain why we believe
it is wrong to say the U.S. should "not take sides" in the
Israeli-Palestinian dispute.

American foreign policy has been - and must continue to be - based on
unequivocal support for Israel's right to exist and to be free from terror.
The Palestinians have at best been ambivalent about their willingness to
accept Israel's existence and from Yasir Arafat on down they have promoted
or acquiesced in the use of terrorism as a tactic in their struggle. It is
unacceptable for the U.S. to be "evenhanded" on these fundamental issues.

All of us want a genuine peace process to succeed, and all of us accept the
legitimacy of a Palestinian state once the Palestinian leadership and people
recognize Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state and not only renounce
the use of violence but at last take action to dismantle the terrorist
infrastructure inside the Palestinian Authority. Time and time again, the
Israeli people have shown their willingness to take risks for peace. But
they will only do so with the knowledge that U.S. support for Israel will
not waver.

It is important for America to help facilitate a peaceful resolution of the
conflict, but in playing this role we must be true to our values and make
sure that all parties clearly understand our policies. This is not a time to
be sending mixed messages; on the contrary, in these difficult times we must
reaffirm our unyielding commitment to Israel's survival and raise our voices
against all forms of terrorism and incitement.

Sincerely,

Howard L. Berman

10. Dear all, FU. Sincerely, me. :)

I hate that letter.

[sffreeways]

11. Lou Dobbs ?

immigrant hating capitalist pig Lou Dobbs ?

:puke: :puke: :puke:

[madfloridian]

12. How long since you have watched his show?

Just asking.

[nothingshocksmeanymore]

13. Well he wrote a new book about outsourcing....and is dead set against

it and railing against corporations doing it as being unpatriotic...he was on Bill Moyers NOW 2 weeks ago...you can go read the transcript...his comments are apt.

[Selwynn]

15. You might want to take another look.

[Elwood P Dowd]

17. Lou doesn't hate immigrants.

He is against ILLEGAL immigration that drives down wages and cost federal and state governments billions of dollars a year. The repukes love illegal immigration, so maybe you should support them. Illegal immigrants are the new SLAVES in our country, as they allow the rich repukes to pay the workers almost nothing and turn to state and federal governments to foot the bill for law enforcement, education, health care, and various social programs. In reality, it's a better deal for the employers than slavery in the old South. There is no up-front expense of buying the slave, plus there is no responsibility for clothing, food, shelter, and health care. A great racket for the rich.

[Bread and Circus]

14. At least he seems to give a shit about this country....

unlike a lot of the assholes we see on TV.

[onecitizen]

16. ooooooeeeeee........
