Lou Dobbs doesn't get it.

[The Backlash Cometh]

How can you get on CNN at this late time of the evening and not know by now that John Kerry was not directing his comments to the soldiers? Lous Dobbs doesn't get it. He says that Kerry's comment was arrogant and directed to the troops. His whole show is going to eviserate Kerry.

[Bluebear]

1. "Many of these troops are smarter than you, Senator Kerry!"

Yikes.

[The Backlash Cometh]

4. Well, Lou Dobbs doesn't seem to be too bright, in all fairness.

[wholetruth00]

24. We should all blast Lou for pretending to believe this. You know damn well

he knows Kerry was talking about Bush and not the soldiers. Lou, I am ashamed of your taking the Republican party line on this.

[liberal N proud]

2. Helping the right wing smear the Dem's over one members comments

[The Backlash Cometh]

11. Unbelievable stretch. First, Kerry isn't running for any position so

he's free to say anything he wants. Can you imagine the gift the media has given him? Let me try that again, HE'S NOT RUNNING FOR ANY OFFICE SO HE IS FREE TO SAY ANYTHING HE WANTS TO!!! HE CAN TAKE GEORGE BUSH HEAD ON RIGHT NOW. Oh, the possibilities... Thank you, media, for making him the news of the day!

3. that was a vicious and irrelevant attack. Cnn is really sickening today

[The Backlash Cometh]

14. We'll see who gives them the smack down, because you know it's

coming.

5. Lou Dobbs: Old and Out of it.

15. If anyone writes an e-mail to CNN, be sure to start it, YOU MORONS!

[ChiciB1]

6. My Exact Words.... Just Was Coming To Post The Very Same Thing!!

Skipping Lou Dobbs tonight! Sorry Lou, you're STUPIDITY will be showing as soon as you start the carping!

This DOES surprise me, even though he's a Libertarian... I can't believe he's missing what was said!

Oh hell, I can believe anything these days!

[SharonAnn]

9. Email him. Tell him to check the original script and what was meant.

[The Backlash Cometh]

16. Don't skip him, e-mail him! Tell him he's acting like a dense right-winger.

[ChiciB1]

22. I Just Emailed Him BEFORE He Went On... His Question Tonight

is all about it! Vote No... 73% say Kerry should NOT apolgize, but it will get Freeped soon!

I'm NOT watching HIM and told him so!!!

[WI_DEM]

7. and he never will

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Duh.

It's Lou fucking Dobbs.

[dkofos]

10. I guess CNN doesn't want a Dem takeover

[Sensitivity]

12. Dobbs is REPUBLICAN. He got the WH spin this morning.

[Catherine Vincent]

13. Apparently he's an idiot....just like Bush.

[madrchsod]

17. someone told lou kerry was a illegal mexican

and he believed it

[The_Casual_Observer]

18. Kerry isn't on any ballots, this thing isn't going to work for them.

All people are thinking about is that shitty war in Iraq & the child molester republicans.

[The Backlash Cometh]

23. Exactly! Imagine the attention they're giving Kerry right now and

he can spew of stream of conscience. Fire at will!

[Terri S]

19. I emailed him the moment I heard it...

now let's see how he handles this on the show.

How's his poll doing??

[leftchick]

20. No Shit!

and the M$M is full of Lou Dobbs assholes. That is why the Democrats have such a disadvantage, even now. Be prepared for another swift boating.

[Joe Chi Minh]

21. Actually, that's one of the neocon Republicans' Achilles heels -

underestimating the intelligence of the average serviceman and servicewoman. What more certain way to show their contempt for the troops than by their actions in relation to their welfare in Iraq and when they return?

They've made a lot of life-long Democrats out of youngsters who wouldn't normally concern themselves a lot with politics - some doubtless swallowing their propaganda whole, previously.

[Jawja]

25. It appears to me that

the GOP media assault on Kerry is being brought about because Kerry's comments about students headed for Iraq if they fail hit a nerve. Kerry's comment is a not only a charge will we STAY in Iraq if the GOP retains power, but also a not too subtle hint at a DRAFT. The GOP media machine is launching a smear laden counter offensive at Kerry's statement because it brings the Iraq issue front and center: if we "stay the course," a draft will eventually be needed.

on edit: the Dems need to rise and stand behind Kerry and back up his statement with a discussion on Bush's war and where it is headed into the future.
