Didn't Lou Dobbs used to be a somewhat even keeled guy in CNN's sea of liberals?

Dobbs: It's good to be a superpower

[roostercogburn]

I know the guy is thought of highly by some, but he is beginning to sound like a whiney ex - conservative who will do anything to have praise heaped upon him by the MSM and their accomplices. Kinda like Joe Scarborough and George Will.

[roostercogburn]

Every column by him lately in one way or another bashes Bush or someone in his administration.
Not that there shouldn't be criticism, but there are enough folks at CNN who focus like lasers only on republican missteps. Shouldn't Lou look at the many hypocrites in the DNC?

[pissant]

Gee Dobbs, with near full employment, and industrial production continuing to grow quarter after quarter, and every engineer in the country gainfully employed and rising personal wealth, I guess we should all be thinking the sky is falling.

[Battleofbritain]

I don't think Lou Dobbs is partisan so much as ignorant and demagogic.

[Seeking the truth]

IMHO, he started on this path ever since he won that "Father of the Year" award a few years back.

[Brilliant]

He sort of reminds me of Pat Buchanan.

[roostercogburn]

It is funny how CNN is planting him on the front page of the website much more often now that he is becoming a constant basher of conservatives.

I guess no one posting yet has seen Dobbs take on liberals on illegal immigration. He tears them to shreds.
Dobbs is a Republican, he's just not a Bush Republican.

NO.

[PajamaTruthMafia]

He's was never the same after the dot com bubble burst and he had to give up running space.com and go back on TV

[Poundstone]

I don't know about his other positions, but Dobbs is doing the American public a major service by focusing on illegal aliens and the federal government's continuing failure to police the border with Mexico. Bravo for Lou!

[Petronski]

He's gone populist, like the Kingfish.

[COEXERJ145]

Dobbs is no Republican. He is a liberal who thinks that by taking the far right fringe position on illegal immigration, he can damage the Republican Party. This is the only reason he even talks about it although if you listen to what he says, a lot of his talking points come from unions like the AFL-CIO.

[msnimje]

I try to watch him almost everyday and can never get through a complete show.
I can only imagine what a horrible experience it must be living with him.

[LdSentinal]

Dobbs is too busy bashing Israel and praising Hezbollah, like his lover Pat Bucahanan.

[T.L.Sink]

I don't agree with Dobbs on every issue but he's done an absolutely splendid presentation of the illegal alien crisis. For over a year he's designated at least one segment of EVERY program on this crisis that is daily bringing us social, economic, and cultural disaster.

I wish George would learn from him why his "no borders" policy is a clear and present national security danger in this age of international terrorism. I'd feel safer.

Lou took on this issue when none of the MSM would! More power to him!

[nikola]

He should run for a President. I'd send him a donation immediately. He's not an ex-conservative, far from it, he's a true conservative. I'm sick of all these fake conservatives running the country and running us into trillions of dollars into debt.

At least he'd honor the Constitution and defend our borders.

Once Dems impeach Bush, he'll have a chance to rise and run.

[Blind Eye Jones]

Lou is a blow hard, unabashed Bush hater, who couches his contempt by highlighting all of America's woes -- in other words, if it's not this then it's that, and if not that then it's this -- it's all Bush's fault, one way or another. And they pay him big bucks to pontificate like the pontiff of CNN.

[LdSentinal]

What a Democrap. He claims that Bilbray won the special election via fraud as did Bush in Ohio back in 2004.

He's a Howard Dean/Ned Lamont stooge.

[T.L.Sink]

You obviously don't watch Dobbs' program. On countless occasions he's had Tom Tancredo on along with a host of conservatives who (rightly) criticize Bush's "no borders" policy. And he's singled out Dems for severe criticism who are trying to pander to the Hispanic illegal lobby.

I'm a conservative and wish Bush would watch Lou -- he might learn that in this age of international terrorism that his "open borders" policy is a severe national security danger!
