Obama: Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs Spur Latino Hate
Newsmax ^ | May 23, 2008 | Staff

Posted on 05/23/2008 10:17:57 AM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

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. There’s 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, it’s 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.

Wait, Lou Dobbs is a conservative? When did that happen?

Barry has a set of stereotypes. And any middle aged white guy who speaks against him and for the middle class must be evil. But in Barry and his Uncle Jeremiah's and buddy Williams Ayer's speech, conservative is a code word for evil.

Obama feels confident to attack Limbaugh because the mainstream media got his back.

Why should she have had to jump through all the hoops to gain citizenship when these folks would get it “free”?

In fairness, illegals would have to pay a fine and learn english, as well as work for certain number of years to become citizens, if I am not mistaken

From the same place he got this...

“In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.”

The actual death toll: 12.

This "issue" is not the issue. The issue is "change."

Don't forget that DainBramage has uncovered the name for Obama's "change." It's Barrystroika.

The same Mikhail Gorbachev-type program of economic, political, and social restructuring which ultimately led to the end of the Soviet Union. His plan tried to bring some degree of freedom to a tyranny.

Barrystroika is the plan is bring tyranny to a free, democratic republic.

RE: Our democratic republic.

Actually, were we still a democratic republic Barrystroika would likely fail and all the attempts to use phony "issues" as weapons would be laughable.

Unfortunately we are in fact a kakistocratic republic, a mere baby step from a tyranny as the majority of our elected leaders are unqualified, unprincipled dolts.

I repeat: If modern America's Man on Horseback is out there, Get on the damn horse already!

Lou Dobbs is a law & order guy. He wants the government to enforce Federal Statutes because that is what the Constitution states our government should do.

He doesn’t hate anyone, supports legal immigration, and criticizes Mexico because of that nation’s hypocritical stance. Mexico funds hate museums within its borders, museums dedicated to spreading slanderous anti-U.S. propaganda.

Frankly I want him to keep talking about it. He is just about the only media outlet that will do so.

The irony is that legalizing Hispanic illegals will hurt no other group as much as blacks. Relegating them to insignificance when they fall as a percentage of the population into political oblivion.

“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.”

OUCH!!

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.

Oh, for God's sake! Are you expecting Obama, or any dem for that matter, to actually check his facts?

IIRC, Lou Dobbs’ wife is a naturalized American citizen from MEXICO, d’oh, Ubama!! Don’t usually watch his show (can’t stand CNN) but would love to hear Lou’s response to this vicious attack on him by Ubama about illegal immigration!

Yep, I agree, Obama is a moron. And he is just hurting himself. He already had the lock on the left wing and now he makes these stupid statements that will drive away moderates.

Isn't Lou Dobb's wife Hispanic?

Latino hate? This will come as a surprise to Lou Dobbs’ Mexican-born wife and Mexican in-laws who live with him.

“Presidential candidate Barack Obama used a Florida fund raiser..........”

So he’s down in Florida talking about anti-immigration “hate mongers”? Gee what a shock huh? Can we spell PANDERING?

I bet if he goes to a senior citizens home he’ll offer them free everything, forever. Amazing.
