Lou Dobbs is PISSED. Wow.
Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 06:43 PM by Blue_Roses
I knew he was mad about this Dubai deal, but he just fired off with a comment: "why would we continue to keep a government who does this?" (paraphrasing here) He then fired off several email of listeners--all bashing Bush--and you could see fire and smoke coming from his words. Yikes!

I've seen him mad about out-sourcing, but this takes it to a whole new level.

1. Well, we're outsourcing our security,
if you think of it that way, I can see why Dobbs and a lot of other folks are really angry!

45. They found the body of a 55 year old man yesterday
He's been dead for six months. What a disgrace.

I just don't think I've ever seen him this mad. He's always leaned toward Bush's side, but this is setting Lou in a new light for me.

puts McCain in as vp, then impeach bush an voila McCain is president..I don't trust these media whores at all...I hope I'm wrong about Dobbs, but I just don't trust any of them..They could be setting up an impeachment...

26. no. sorry but that really is gross speculation.
McCain is not a mainstream Republican. Being that he is perhaps the only Republican I would consider ever voting for, I greatly doubt this would ever happen. I think hell would freeze over first.

I think Lou is genuinely pissed. He is sick of out the out-sourcing and he's always talking about our borders. He's a conservative, not a neo-con. Big difference. Very few "conservatives" left from the GOP that think like this any more.

21. Lou just drilled John fund a new orifice.....
on the port sell out. Also, brought up the massive debt the AWOL/moron administration has rung up with a Repug house and senate and taking over huge surpluses.....

Cool. Some media guy finally said what's been so obviouse for 5 plus years.

39. And why were the ports sold to the UK in the first place?
This selling to the UAE deal is "just business", by their own definition.

But it's not just business, damn it. It's national security of a high calibre. It is not racism either, you cynics can sod off.

5. So the question becomes...
"If...and when...the Dubai deal goes through, what next?"

"If "our president" goes to India and talks about the outsourcing of jobs and how he KNOWS it's "painful," but vows to BLOCK any "protectionist" policies preventing FURTHER outsourcing, what next?"

"If 2300+ American men and women are dead in Iraq because of a war that Bush lied about, what next?"

"Rove, Plame, Abramoff, DeLay, etc. etc. etc., what next?"

Dobbs is pissed and so am I.

Bush is still president.

Suggestions, Lou? Other than just being pissed?

31. Read this thread (WSJ's take on impeachment)...
...and you'll see what I mean.

At some point, "we" (the Democrats) either take Bush down or let him finish off his 3 years (and America, or whatever is left of it):

37. We already know what the answer is.
I think the future may be a violent one here, once the masses of young men get angry enough. Historically, that's really the key to popular revolution once all other options are proved futile, hasn't it? I think this will only happen here if all viable options are tried and if the economic situation for the poor gets even worse. We still have it too good right now.

8. If one looks ahead 10-20 years (even a capitalist), one sees that the
destruction of the US middle class is ultimately a BAD thing for everyone.... despite the opportunity for short-term gains.

Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 06:59 PM by BlueEyedSon
and geography is no obstacle... they'll have gated communities here in the US and whatever other 10 countries they have mansions in around the world. Their yachts won't have any dangerous unemployed starving ex-middleclass riff-raff.....

They are not religious. They are greedy and cynical and the next world is of no interest to them.

Lou Dobbs has deep convictions. Read his book. I heard a radio interview call-in show with him and thought, "This guy should run for president as an independent." Yes, I'm serious.

I think we need a DEMOCRATIC president. Dobbs was one of the BIGGEST cheerleaders for the idiot-in-chief's illegal invasion of Iraq.

40. Did you hear the one email he read about Dubai trying to shut him up?
Somebody wrodt "I bet there's ore than Dubai that would like to shut you up! I bet the Bush Administration would like to shut you up too!"

I really laughed at that one! Lou is the producer of his own show and I'm sure HE icks the emails he wants to read on air!

I, like the emailer also would love to know if the admin. has tried to shut him up, or get him kicked off CNN?

41. I think you missed the point, that email was complimenting Dobbs
for sticking it to the Bush admin. Which leads to the conclusion that the Bush admin. would probably want to shut him up.


p.s. may I suggest spell check?

46. Dubya & the Dubais have been unbelievably condescending & arrogant...
...about the concerns of the American people! As in: it's understandable that the average American doesn't have the time to become educated about this issue, but Bushco knows what's best for us, so we should just trust them.

Right -- we should trust them. :rofl:

I'm loving Lou on this issue.

Edited on Mon Mar-06-06 10:25 PM by aint_no_life_nowhere
Dobbs got very red-faced and looked like he was about to explode. I also thought Dobbs was going to punch him out at one point (and may have been thinking about it) for trying to blame it all on unions and working people for the fact that no American company wants to bid on the port contract. Fund looked like he wanted to disappear through the floor.
