Presidential candidate Barack Obama used a Florida fundraiser to attack conservative media personalities Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh for their militant stand on immigration policy.
Appearing Thursday at the Westin Diplomat near Fort Lauderdale, Obama lashed out at critics of illegal immigrants and migrant workers.
During his speech, Obama said, "A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. Theres a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year.
Who is behind the rise in hate crimes?
Obama left no doubt who he believes to be the culprits. If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, its not surprising that would happen, he told the crowd.
According to press reports, Obama collected more than $500,000 from some 800 donors at the event.

Say what you will about the illegals, but at least they 1. start their own businesses, rather than allowing the Arabs and Asians to sell bad, overpriced food and junk in the 30% of stores that aren't vacant and 2. have the excuse of being newly arrived in this country.
I also feel alot safer walking in illegal country (Bloomfield Avenue or Ferry Street in Newark) than I would walking down Springfield Avenue in da hood.
Sit on it Rama-lama-ding dong!....You flaming socialist!
Rush is just now quoting B.O. Hussein about the alleged hate crimes and how just last year B.O. Hussein was siging a totally different mellow song. B.O. threw his own “WHITE” grandmother under the bus of Racism and Hate, so no one is off limits for B.O. Hussein’s wild accusations.
I know all the places well. And while I am concerned by the large numbers of men hanging around, they are not as intimidating as groups of young blacks in the same areas.
“Theres a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year.
Is it the same reason why black on white crime has increased? Rev Wright perhaps?
Obama as "unifier" is the biggest sham of my political lifetime.
McCain and Obama - twins!
Wow. So Limbaugh pointing out the dangers of illegal immigration lead to hate crimes against Latinos. And yet, amazingly, 20 years of sitting under the tutelage of an apostate, racist preacher have had absolutely no effect on how Barry - or his family - view America or white Americans.
I’m a Latina and I feel a lot more comfortable around people who listen to Rush than people who listen to Jeremiah Wright. B. Hussein O. is not a uniter, he’s a divider and a race-baiter. He’s not part of the solution, he’s part of the problem. People like him are willing to promote racial division and hatred, knowing they’ll be safe from the consequences, as they sit in their ivory towers, surrounded by bodyguards and watching the rioting on their flat-screen TVs.
What did you get in math Barry? There's no doubling here, rather about a 10% rise, a touch larger than the total increase. I believe the 2007 report comes out in November.

“Maybe now Limbaugh would get off McCains back and shoot at the right target.”
Why? McCain feels exactly the same way about illegal aliens and has insulted a lot more over the years.
Wait, Lou Dobbs is a conservative? When did that happen?
Obama, being a typical bitter left-wing half-white guy clinging to his terrorist-loving pastor*, sees everything in terms of racial solidarity. He fails to understand that middle-class Hispanic U.S. citizens don’t identify with illegal Mexican immigrants. He fails to understand that middle-class black conservatives don’t identify with black gang members in the ghetto.
*I love turning a leftist jerk’s words against him.
Oh man, now I am a bitter religion clinging, gun totting, typical white woman who loves Rush, any more adjectives and I wont be able to sign my name.
LOL and ditto
There are relatively few hate crimes against hispanice.
Conservative criticism of JFK prompted Oswald say experts
Dean of journalism NY Times' James Reston said, "from the beginning to the end of his administration, [Kennedy] was trying to tamp down the violence of extremists from the right."
The issue is not the issue. Issues are weapons. It's what leftists/liberals do. Screw 'em. Laugh at 'em. They do not intend to debate, they fabricate.
Stand athwart them and yank their chains.
