Ha! Did you hear Lou Dobbs promote a new Hunter Thompson Book?
Lou plugged his own book and then plugged a buddy whose written a book on Hunter Thompson. Is "Lou the Libertarian" saying he always had a "soft spot in his heart for Gonzo Journalism...like Hunter Thompson?"

Do you Thompson fans buy this from Dobbs? :shrug: :eyes:

1. In a word...
BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAAA!!!

Yeah, I'm pretty damn sure Lou Dobbs falls into the category of those the Good Doctor referred to as swine.

4. I have no clue why he would pander to a dead guy that hated guys like
Dobbs.

The only thing I can think of is HST was working on the congressional page boy scandal at the time of his death. Perhaps with that blowing up, Dobbs wants to side with the "good" side for once.

I still think it's a stretch though.

5. I don't see much "real truth or good" coming from Dobbs..but could this
be a "RATINGS WAR" with Keith Olbermannn?

Just throwing this out. As the "WHORE MEDIA" see's their audience going to ONLINE NEWS is this the BLOW BACK?

Lou tried to disable his "LIBERTARIAN ROOTS" to appeal to what he see's as the "Hunter Thompson" Lefties? :eyes:

I'm a Vietnam Person...so I'm kind of trying to get my brain to wrap around this. :crazy: Invoking Hunter Thompson? Using his death for LIBERTARIANISM?

6. Which book? Dobbs "War on Middle Class" or Hunter Thompson's
book before his death...or the guy whose written Hunter's Bio.

It's three or more books. Maybe the Local Library is your best friend...

:-(

10. That's kind of what "I" thought...but does this mean that Dobbs is going
to Left to PANDER to Thompson? Is there "more to Dobbs" than my puny thoughts that he's JUST A LIBERTARIAN?

Has Dobbs finally "OUTED HIMSELF?" Following the lead of the Pentultimate Truth Teller Keith Olbermann on the RIVAL NETWORK?

Could all of this "mea culpa" mean "Radicalism" against the current Poltical System is Now 'the Thing?'

11. Yeah, Dobbs seems pretty much like a jellyfish
just rolling where the tide takes him. Except Dobbs tries to make it look like it was his idea.

12. Interesting what you say: "Dobbs tries to make it look like [His Idea}......
That's what bothers me abou him. It's like HE is the one who controls "BROKEN BORDERS"/DUBAI PORTS DEAL/and all the REST!

Does he work for Jim Baker? Yet..he holds up a "Hunter Thompson Book" as a CREDENTIAL FOR HIS VIEWS? :eyes: what gives with that one?
