The Dangers Of Mixing News And Opinion À La Lou Dobbs

Hartford Courant ^ | 4/6/06 | Paul Janensch

[Dr. Scarpetta]

The mixture of news and spin against illegal immigration served up by Lou Dobbs and others like him is a poisonous witch's brew.

With the slogan "Broken Borders" on the screen, Lou Dobbs demands tighter security at our borders and rails against a Senate bill that contains a guest-worker plan for illegal aliens.

In a piece for the Arizona Republic in Phoenix, Dobbs wrote that illegal aliens impose a "crushing financial and economic burden" on American workers.

Dobbs has added little but anger to the debate. He insists he speaks "the truth" and said that those who disagree with him are "unconcerned about the 280 million American citizens, the men and women of this country who work for a living and their families."

Those who cheer Dobbs on should listen carefully to what he is saying. He not only pummels liberals, Democrats, unions and Hispanic groups, he denounces President Bush, congressional Republicans who toe the administration's line on immigration, "corporate supremacists" and the Roman Catholic Church for advocating "amnesty, guest-worker programs and open borders."

Lou Dobbs at the border with the Minute Men...

[Kidan]

And?

All those groups are failing to secure our borders. If Mr. Dobbs is bashing them, and calling attention to this failure, all i have to say is:


Good for you, Mr. Dobbs!

He not only pummels liberals, Democrats, unions and Hispanic groups, he denounces President Bush, congressional Republicans who toe the administration's line on immigration, "corporate supremacists" and the Roman Catholic Church for advocating "amnesty, guest-worker programs and open borders."

So ?

[andonte]

Lou Dobbs is one of the few telling it like it is. Shame on our gutless Congress for not dealing with this problem.

"choice"=abortion
"progress"=taking of private property for private purposes
"good for America"=good for Democrats
"vigilantes"=Minutemen
"undocumented worker-guests"=illegal aliens
"immigration reform"=amnesty
"yahoos" . . "racists" . . "opposed to immigration"=law-abiding conservatives

Zowie, you need an FR thesaurus to read the news these days.

No only are we listening, we're glad to hear that someone is acutally willing to stand up for the truth and call the illegal lovers out for their roles in trying to surrender our sovereignty to a mob of invaders who are primarily from third world crap holes.

Journalists like Janensch need to be robbed a few times by some of the poor misunderstood illegal aliens that the rest of us in flyover country are enjoying. Notice that the majority of the furor is coming from the areas that are being significantly impacted by the tide of illegal immigration and not those that sit in their ivory towers.

[The South Texan]

I agree with Dobbs on the border issue and national security. However the rest of his program has become nothing but a propaganda hour for the unions and other causes that are Democrat. He used to have one of the best business shows on TV.

Sounds like Dobbs has doe a good job rounding up the usual suspects.

Well, yeah, he is calling out people with whom I agree on many other issues but who are dead wrong on illegal aliens. When someone speaks the truth I acknowledge it no matter who the speaker is.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

Sign put up by Minute Men at the border...

[FreePaul]

...he denounces President Bush, congressional Republicans who toe the administration's line on immigration, "corporate supremacists" and the Roman Catholic Church...

For their long term support of those who break the law and for thier stated desire to continue to support lawbreakers.

[FearNoMan]

Truth is bipartisan

[Bigg Red]

Journalists like Janensch need to be robbed a few times...

&&&
As I have said on other threads, these media and political elites are all for keeping the illegals here to clean their houses and cut their grass.

Yeah? And? Is he wrong? From what I have seen, he isn't.

[Dr. Scarpetta]

"Broken Borders is the almost daily feature of the Lou Dobbs Show broadcast on CNN. The feature of the show highlights the problems of illegal immigration in America and what is or isn't being done to curb the problem."

[taxed2death]

Paul Janensch...another moron who ignores the facts and has an open border agenda.

This idiot does not state one single fact in his article to contest Dobbs point of view. It's a hit piece...and nothing more. One reason why I use my neighbors Fartford undercurrent to line my 2 bird cages.

[American Quilter]

I think the Hartford Courant should fire its reporters and replace them with illegal immigrants. You know, practice what they preach.

It sounds as if we should put Dobss up for president.
