Yesterday, lou dobbs was quite disturbed...
by the Moveon.org Ads, that do not exist, so far, for politicizing the Katrina disaster. However, he has been oddly silent, when it comes to the fundies saying God struck down the Homosexuals population with the hurricane. I think I will send an email asking about this, will you join me friends?

3. LOL - Lou Dobbs gets his info from RUSH!!!!! I was listening yesterday...
..and the vulgar pigboy was saying he had exclusive audio of a MoveOn ad politicizing the hurricane

He played this satirical bit that was so over the top it was obviously a fake and at the end it said something like "paid for by George Soros" - it was definitely satire, but the problem comes when pigboy talks after the bit. He is talking about it as if it is real, and his listeners probably do not have the mental capacity to diferentiate between what pigboy says is real and when pigboy produces these satirical pieces.

It is deliberate, and you can tell by the way Rush talks afterwards, never clueing his moronic audience in that it was satire.

SOOOOO it seems as if Lou Dobbs is one of those moronic listeners, faithfully repeating pigboy's lies as one of his own.

5. He did the exact same thing in early August. Here are the links...
that show what he did.

The initial show which discusses a fake "ad":
http://mediamatters.org/items/200508030006

When he finally had to admit to his viewers that it was something that he made up because they were complaining about his airing an ad for the "enemy":
http://mediamatters.org/items/200508050006


He doesn't admit it because he was shamed into doing it. He admits it because people think that the allowed the left to buy time on his show to air this "ad".

In the latter clip, he warned them that he'd be doing the same again in the future. However, he never tells him when they're real or not. I have a friend who was extremely upset about this "ad" because he thought that it was real. He heard it on another show -- not Limbaugh. Therefore, other right wing shock jocks take his stuff and pawn it off as being real. They're all truly evil -- I'm not exaggerating when I say this.

4. While your at it ask Lou what happened to his Enron toteboard
I clearly remember Dobbs snorting and huffing that he would keep his daily Enron indictment tally going until Lay and the others were charged. Where is it now Lou? Where is your swagger now dickhead?

7. Dobbs has been revealing his true loyalties lately. I guess when the WH
Calls you just don't refuse. Or, he always was one of them but covered it very well. I got suspicious when he kept going on and on about Immigration problems and seemed to be trying to whip people up into race hate over it. Some of his comments and reports seemed OTT to me.

And, when he got rid of the "Enron Tote Board."

8. No comment from Lou on Bechtel, etc. getting contracts and the Presidents
allowing them to pay below "market" wages. He's supposed to be so outraged at outsourcing and the big guys screwing the people, where is he now?
