Poll question: How long before the first real shots are fired in Dobbs
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 08:50 PM by RGBolen
"war" on the middle class? How long before some follower of Lou Dobbs shoots someone she or he feels is waging "war" on them.

2. I voted before the end of the year. But, how do we know
it hasn't happened already? It's not like poor brown people get much press when they die or are killed by RW bigots? :shrug:

3. True, of course you read some of the posts here and it could

very easily be a LW bigot pulling the trigger.

5. I'd like to believe that liberal leaning people are more teachable.
I think we do tend to be.

9. What about that family murdered & dumped along the highway last week?
The husband & wife with their two little boys who were found murdered in a ditch in Florida...they had just moved from Texas earlier this summer. Has anymore been reported about this crime, any new info on that investigation?

I heard that four bodies were found floating in the Rio Grande today. I wonder how those deaths happened. Sure, that water is running high & fast, but so is the hatred. I worry about folks who are heading home from the end of season...both robbers & racists are stalking them.

12. Here's a link to the first report of that family who was murdered...
Adults, Children Found Dead in Gruesome Highway Shootings
http://www.cnn.com/2006/US/10/13/florida.bodies/index.html

They later identified them, but I've heard nothing more about it, since.

15. And here is more on the turnpike murders, with update links...
http://www.palmbeachpost.com/localnews/content/local_news/special_reports/family_slain/

It's all too sad. I can't imagine how heartbroken those families must be.


It's like you said in your original post...how would anyone know? I know that the first thing I thought of when I heard of this was Lou Dobbs.

6. Other: I don't know what you are talking about
It would be most helpful if you would elaborate on 1) who Lou Dobbs is and 2) the nature of this "war" to which you refer. Apparently one combatant is the middle class. Who is the other?

25. What racist shite.
No wonder I haven't watched CNN in over a decade.

Are their viewers really so stupid that they blame poor immigrants for the actions of corporations? Isn't that like blaming Iraq for 9/...

Oh. Nevermind. :eyes:

7. How long will it take

8. Why would someone want to bring a dirty bomb across our border?
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 09:35 PM by NNN0LHI
Oh, I know. Its because they hate us for our freedoms. Right?

11. The "open border crowd"? Is that another term for
Edited on Wed Oct-25-06 09:55 PM by sfexpat2000
people who object to bigotry?

And, why the southern border? ON 9/11, didn't them hijackers enter through, um, CANADA?

19. Yep - and I always tell Republinuts this when they bring up
the 'national security as it relates to immigration' issue.

They're mostly stumped after that comment.

21. I seriously doubt anything will come over the southern border
without the express or implicit consent of one or more US Federal agencies. It's one of their honeypots: The Border Patrol, the FBI, the ATF and so on.

16. Boy, you're just FULL of RW talking points tonight.
"dirty bomb from the Mexican border"?

Gee, will that be before or after the
remote-control planes full of Mexicanized Anthrax?

17. First bomb has already come in, more than six years ago...
with the millennium bomber, Ahmed Ressam, stopped driving off a ferry boat in Washington, from Canada.

But this state can't even afford to put troopers on all of our ferries...our National Guard is working down on the Southern Border, as is a big bunch of our Border agents, having been transferred down there due to all of the Dobb's blathering.

Do you think he'll be apologizing if one of our ferries goes down? Whose fault would that be?

22. I have no idea what you're trying to imply
That Lou Dobbs isn't the brightest bulb in the pack? Without a doubt.

That there is no war on the middle class? You can't believe that...

26. That one of Dobbs followers will fire real shots

at some "foreigner" who is "waging war" on them.
