The NYC radio scene is pretty grim between 3PM when Rush goes off and 4PM when Malzberg comes on. Since I find Hannity intolerable, I switch to WOR where Malzberg will appear and have to put up with an hour of this airhead Dobbs.
I have to say that most of the time I agree with Dobbs, just as most of the time I have agreed with Hannity. But these people disqualify themselves by opening their mouths and explaining their line of reason.
Today Lou Dobbs said several times that Benjamin Netanyahu is ignorant. He said this because he thinks Natanyahu was disrespectful of Bamie, and this is beyond the pale apparently. Nothing about Obama being disrespectful of a guest coming to visit him the NEXT F*****G DAY, essentially telling him that he would have to eat s**t or die in a very public speech. This stuff cuts both ways. But even if Dobbs doesn't care and he thinks Netanyahu is wrong, that's all he would be. It hardly makes him ignorant.
And then to a caller he was berating, he essentially implied that Israel contributes NOTHING to the partnership with the United States. He's having a hard time dealing with Herman Cain now who is essentially saying the same things I'm saying here. I guess he understands that if he berated Herman Cain, that he might wind up looking like the Bozo he really is. The poor woman caller might have mentioned that Dobbs' cell phone probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for work being done in Israel. Half of the improvements mad to our weapons systems seem to come from Israel. Scientific advances, medical advances. Proportionally to the size of our population, we should be ashamed.
And WOR needs to find someone else to fill the three o'clock hour.

Dittos to all you said!
Hannity’s heart in in the right place, but when he starts in on his litany on who is coming up and who will be on TV with him and the self promotions, and on and on and on, well I just can’t take it.
Lately I’ve gone to Dobbs at the 3-4 hour, and then to fearless Marlsberg at 4. Just as you do and half the radio listeners in this area.
But — the other day, after the Bibi/Bama exchange, I couldn’t believe what Dobbs was saying!! HUH? What a take on the same thing that I had seen! Since when does “the office” take precedence over “the sitter”? Since when is ‘’the sitter’’ above reproach? And Netanyahu was never disrespectful. Needless to say, I turned Dobbs off. Today, when he started in on it again, I turned him off again, and now I’m composing a note to him telling him that he is on my negative list. He can be good on most days, but this was too much. It is not as tho he was mildly showing an annoyance at Netnanyahu. He was downright vitriolic! As if to say “How DARE someone speak to my president that way?” Since when is Obama so above it all that he must be honored at all times??
Again — Dobbs view of what he saw, and his unswayed comments have made me very wary of him. What to do? Turn Shep on? AAARRGGHHH!
Koch supported GW Bush in the past. My guess is he caught plenty of crappola from his friends.
Now he’s saying he won’t vote for a republican but will stay home and NOT vote.
Not voting is exactly how NJ elected Christie. The dems hated Corzine so they stayed home.
THANK YOU!!! I’m a little late, listening to a podcast of about 20 minutes of Lou Dobb’s show on Friday, and I’m screaming at my I-pod!!! I had to see if someone had posted about this idiocy. I can’t believe he’s chastising Netanyahu for basically, being up front about the fact that he doesn’t want his nation to enter into a suicide pact. HELLO????
I thought Dobbs was smarter than this...and I agree with you about Hannity. Listening to him and his unoriginal (albeit correct) rantings makes me crazy.
Thanks for giving me a place to vent!!!!
btw, sure wish Netanyahu could come up with a Hawaiian bc. We could use someone who fights for his country.
Check out the daily Hannity live thread - if you can find it. It seldom even gets to double figures. He is certainly not a big favorite on this board.
I’m not surprised!
(God just smote my posting efforts with a lightning strike --> power outage.)
Apparently during Israel's creation, many Jews were displaced as were "Palis" (I have yet to look up the relative numbers). I suggest that it would be a bargaining chip to seek the Jewish right of return to Arab places to offset the demand from the "Palis".
(Many Christians were likely displaced from both areas (and Lebanon (which had been set up as a Christian sanctuary country ) as evidenced by the many ME immigrants to the US in the 50's and 60's.)
The Palis also claim that the land was Arab/Muslim and so rightfully belongs to them. History obviously shoots that argument down are there were countless civilizations occupying the area prior to the advent of Mad Mo'.
Eleanor Clift is a disgrace to women. Can’t ever stand anything she says and quit watching her years ago after she got a facelift to try to disguise the ugliness of her soul which was so obviously on display because of her face.
Bibi is the opposite of zero...He is a manly man in every aspect of the word and he has character—something unknown to the disgusting zero who appears so extremely gay and effeminate it is hard to not visualize him in the bedroom with his buddies, Rahm, Sinclair, Frank, Van Jones, Rev. Wright, Jennings, et al.
Yes, the sight of zero and leftists makes me puke. What comes out of their mouths is nothing but lies.
No you are NOT the only one.
No use in sending a note to Dobbs. He is too full of himself. Instead go to www.wor710.com/comments. Tell them how you feel and maybe leave a link to this thread so they can see how others feel.

I haven't watched any of the Sunday shows in years, so I haven't seen/heard Eleanor Clift in a long time. But my recollection is that she was among the most well spoken, intelligent of our opponents. I seem to remember her reacting with stunned silence when presented with obviously logical arguments. This is a lot more that I can say for most of the fools who continue on with emotional or scripted nonsense in response to such arguments.

Good post; good thread. BTTT!
Barry would roll back America’s borders to pre 1776 if he could.
I am not denying that she was knowledgeable, but it stems from the prism of twisted Marxist ideology and socialism, and as such, is biased toward irrational thought. I can never think of someone like her as wise. Wisdom is not always a result of knowledge. In fact, Hitler was a genius on many issues and well spoken but a rabid ideologue. Ideology trumps reason and logic in these cases.
She became a prostitute for the views of the left which became more pronounced in the early 21st century. To see her skirt logic and reason was just beyond my patience to endure. They appear to me as being tremendous frauds and deluded and so unknowledgeable about the history of the US and the intent of the Constitution.
Yeah, Hannity really has become a wind-up toy, and Dobbs is cloying to say the least. I really like Bill Bennett. Wish he could get on prime time.
I don’t think anybody has a larger, puffed up head than Lou Dobbs. I mean his head is naturally a little larger than the average person, but it looks like he sticks a needle in his ear and pumps a lot more air in. He takes himself very seriously.
Does Dobbs have a Problem with a President Of the United States going around the World Bowing and Scraping to Potentates,Dictators,Apologizing for his Country for being so cruel and saying there is nothing special about America?
But he has a Problem when the Leader of an ally Nation has the Guts to say to his face in effect, No His Country will not Commit suicide to please this Clown and Fraud? Hey Dobbs Go to hell
