On Lou Dobbs

A certain aspect of my personality that has been congratulated by some and chided by others is my ability to put people that are out of line in their place. I can be laid back and nice most of the time, but when I see someone getting out of line and making others feel bad, I step in and leave that person in ridicule. I can do it as an automatic reflex, sometimes without them even knowing that I put them down and with the need of a dictionary to know what I said. I have no inhibitions in telling someone that their mentality is severely flawed, and point where they are wrong. I could care less if the person is rich, poor, Ivy League educated, or even famous. It is something that I do not do often, as I can very patient most of the time. Besides, whenever I feel like criticizing someone, I remember that not all people have been given the advantages I have had. Nevertheless, I speak my mind to people that deserve it at times. I have a strong sense of justice. I fight for what my mind and heart tells me is right.
If you watch the news, I am sure you have inevitably seen Lou Dobbs, the anchor of Lou Dobbs Tonight on CNN. He is an overly arrogant, biased, and stupid racist snake. Dobbs is a Texan, and was born in September 24, 1945. He received a bachelor’s in economics from Harvard University, whoopee fucking doo. The man lands a job as a news anchor in Phoenix and then Seattle. He was invited by Ted Turner’s people in 1979, when Ted (another idiot, a billionaire, but an idiot nonetheless) was in the process of forming CNN. Lou began his career with CNN in 1980 and held various important positions. However, he quit in 1999, due to conflict with then CNN President, Rick Kaplan. After Kaplan left, Lou was invited back to CNN by his BFF Ted Turner in 2001. He was given the helm of Loud Dobbs Moneyline which became Lou Dobbs Tonight. Aside from his evening show, he also works as a radio host.
Lou Dobbs is a person that was endowed with much power by CNN; he expresses his opinions very crudely. Now, everyone is entitled to their opinions, but nobody is entitled to play God and insult millions of people because of personal dislike. If he doesn’t like Hispanic immigrants, then that is a personal problem, don’t stereotype or insult the masses of Hispanic immigrants that come looking for the American Dream. America is a nation of immigrants, it doesn’t matter if you arrived 200 years ago or yesterday, it is the melting pot of the world. The reason America is great is because minds from all over the world come and live here. We have the best of every culture. Plus, I daresay had it not been due to European Jewish physicists that immigrated here, America would not have become the world’s most powerful country. Johnny Von Neumann, Edward Teller, Leó Szilárd, Stanislaw Ulam, Hans Bethe and others were all immigrants of Jewish descent that were key people at Los Alamos, during the Manhattan Project. Robert Oppenheimer and Richard Feynman were not immigrants but their Jewish parents were.
So, please, Mr. Dobbs, don’t be so harsh on immigrants. True, Hispanic immigrants are not building nuclear bombs, but most do come to better themselves and the country, just give them a chance. Don’t use them as the scapegoat for America’s problems. Leave the bitchy-ness to the Native Americans whom experienced your ancestors invading America and caused their subsequent eradication. I must, however, thank Lou Dobbs for doing something right. You see, he has an inbox on his website where you can leave comments about his show. His secretary helps him pick the best comments and he airs them at the end of his broadcast. I left one a little over a year ago. The following is what I left:
“Jesus Christ, Lou Dobbs. You are still alive? You are nothing but an insecure racist with friends in high places that enable you to keep your job plaguing immigrants on television. Hope you die soon. This coming from all the immigrants you hate.”
So, what do you know? He aired my comment! I must thank him in person. As my comment was chosen, I also received his book, War on the Middle Class, as a gift. Not that I have read it, of course. Lou doesn’t stop at bashing illegal immigrants; he even called former secretary of state Condoleezza Rice a cotton picker! The man is a racist, he is a racist that tries to cover up by saying an occasional good statement that he later employs as a defense for not being racist. I wish I could sit down with him one day, until then I have a message for Lou, and the message is “Screw You.” We do not need racism in this world. What do you think of Lou Dobbs?

Lol! You are 100% correct, he does look “wolfy”! The anchors with complete white hair tend to be the best! XD

If there was ever a person with an appropriate name, it’s “Wolf” Blitzer. Seriously, with his white facial hair, his face has an uncanny resemblance to real wolves. XD.

BBC is much better than CNN!
I just hate the fact that in this day and age, an anchor is allowed so much power in voicing his personal opinions and insult millions out there. The immigration thing is a daily thing in his show, and he gets under the skin of most everyone. Where is the true journalism? I like Wolf Blitzer and Anderson Cooper but Lou Dobbs? He has got to go away and never return.

I try to watch a balance of news from CNN, Fox, and BBC, so I never really got into any of the daily shows like Lou’s; however, I do recall being appalled by the same thing you were – his nonchalant usage of racist underpinnings. That’s when I switch over to BBC.
