CNN are being pretty tight lipped over Lou Dobbs latest piece of vitriol where he managed to call New York Democrat Governor Eliot Spitzer an idiot during an interview. I have long felt that this brother in arms to people like Rush Limbaugh and Don Imus should be relegated to the broadcasting cellar, rather than prime time television.
I have been happily waiting for this shock jock of reporting to backfire, and this could well be the event. So far CNN has not made any public attempt at muzzling this Pit Bull, but I’ll bet it is being talked about. Day after day he lashes out about illegal immigration, and the irreparable harm it is causing to the US. He skillfully avoids the hard facts, without the Mexican workers most of the Southern economy would be in a shambles. You are not going to find people to pick your apples, trim your trees, help with construction projects, or the other million jobs that pay minimum wage. These are all jobs that Americans do not want, and everyone is in agreement (well everyone but the bigots like Lou Dobbs), that without the Mexican workers the cost for produce would soar at the supermarket.
Lou, if they do can you, I hear that Howard Stern is looking for someone to get his coffee and donuts in the morning. It doesn’t pay a lot, but its steady work, and better still he will pay you cash!
If Lou loses his job over this, I for one would not shed any tears, just another idiot off the screen And lets face it, he won’t have any trouble getting employment, the Klan is always looking for new leaders, and if the white robes do not appeal, Arizona can always use a new border vigilante.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackYou call Dobbs the same name you accuse him of calling Spitzer.
Your play the race card with your “Klan needs a new leader” smear.
You accuse Dobbs of reporting without facts and in the same sentence assume facts not in evidence when it comes to the economic contribution of ILLEGAL aliens.
Simon Barrett, perhaps you need to take look in the mirror before you take real journalists to task for their ethics and work products.
You talk of CNN bringing down the hammer when Lou Dobbs is the most popular show that CNN has. It is his fact base broadcasting supported by viewers own opinions that vote on the issues he portrays during the show that leave him a step above everyone else. Sanctioned opinion polls and expert guests that share their views on this show and that includes those that disagree with Lou’s stance. You are in the minority when it comes to how people feel about illegal immigration and this is a growing minority each day. People are fed up with law breaking parasites feeding off of our society and are just as fed up with politicians pandering to this scum for political or financial gain. You might not care about your children or grand children being exposed to drug resistant infectious diseases, rape, murder, or the victims of drunk illegal alien drivers that shouldn’t be in this country in the first place but many of us do. That is why Lou Dobbs will be on his show long after you find anyone to listen to your biased and race card commentary. As for calling Spitzer and idiot 70% of the citizens of New York feel the same way and I don’t think they would be as kind as characterizing Spitzer.
Apparently Simon disagrees with over 70 % of New Yorkers. I am not surprised by Simon or Wallis, people who lack facts usually reort to name calling or spout drivel. I am happy as heck that My County in Indiana is deporting illegals every Wednesday from our County jail.
It was people like Simon who spit on us coming home from Viet Nam, I have no tolerance for traitors to my Country and Countrymen, like the song says love it or leave it.
Don’t worry… these guys always make a fool of themselves whether they are still on the air or not…
Just remember Stephen Colbert vs. Bill O’Reilly… wow, I laughed so hard.
The Confederate South said the economy would go bust and cotton prices
would skyrocket if they lost their slaves too!
Why is it illegal aliens and their advocates always say ” But its racist to make us obey your laws”?
Even lawyers know when the facts and the law are against you its time to quit.
If you don’t think its an invasion, see who cries racism and complains the loudest when you
try to stop it!
We are all Minutemen Now!
You got the bull’s eye alright. Dobbs is the most arrogant tv personality this days because of immigration. I’m quite uneasy when this guy relates his statistics on any poll or studies to his audience. Most of his data comes from FAIR, Heritage foundation, and the anti’s ilk which everyone knows are not conservatives, but racists behind the immigration cloak. I wonder how much dobbs percentage is from stein’s and trantons financial support to kick out colored people. Everything this guy does is malign the hardworking people yet he portrays himself as knowledgable and patriot. SHmack this guy, he will ruin this country. he’s got no brainer supporters and members from the senate and congress. how many times did this man interview sessions, tancredo, billbray, king heritage and fair??? a lot. and how may times did he interview people who are trying to solve the problem? very FEEEW. Bias?, or a fact that this guy is plain and simple RACIST. not a racist too? If not, the conclusion is he’s using the topic to gain money and prestige for himself. Never mind if it will destroy families, ruin the nation, bankrupt businesses ——- as long as he gains.
Anyone who wants to give license to law breakers IS an idiot. Unfortunately, our government is filled with idiots.
Go down to south Texas where I live and see what unchecked illegal immigration has done to the region.
I haven’t heard anyone talking about equivalent exchange….I pose this question to all open borders people, and they always have the same answer.
If..in exchange for granting amnesty to the illegals already here, after they pass back ground checks and prove they have no criminal history in their country of origin or in the USA, we then militarize our border, create military infrastructure, roads,fences, barriers etc.. zero tolerance essentially.
I always get the same thing. They want amnesty, AND they’re opposed to any kind of fence or militarization of the border. Why is that? When they finally get honest, they think that Mexicans and South Americans have a right to walk into our country. I think it’s fair, what do you think?
No,you’re wrong. Labor costs represent a very small part of the cost of fruits and vegetables. University of Californian at Davis agri-economists have estimate doubling the wages of workers would cost about a dime on a pound of tomatoes.
Lou Dobbs has been the soul person in the media who has represented the majority of American who are against amnesty and believe by enforcing our laws and ceasing benefits, illegal immigrants will leave the U.S. He is the one who has been attacked by the open border, pro illegal, ethnic and business lobbies.
How do we get Simon fired from the internet?
Very telling comment: Who will take the minimum wage jobs? Exactly what big business wants: import poor people to work for nothing, send decent paying jobs offshore, import all our goods from China.
What people don’t seem to understand is Mexico is wealthy. The richest man in the world is not in the US, Europe or China. He’s in Mexico: Carlos Slim.
Illegal immigration is a policy of the Mexican government. The rich in Mexico don’t pay taxes and so there’s nothing there for the poor. Solution: push them over the border and let the American middle class pay for their education, healthcare, incarceration.
By the way Lou Dobbs’s wife is Hispanic!
And Simon did you actually go to college. You sound really stupid.
Where to find labor? Try legal immigrants. What a concept. Too bad the Democrats are so desperate for members for their party they are destroying America to get a few new voters. How about all Americans decide to ignore the law and stop paying taxes, then demand to be rewarded for doing so? Why not. That is what these foolish people are proposing.
And race….
The only racism in this debate comes from the criminal aliens and their supporters like La Raza and MECHa whose motto is “Everything for our race, nothing for others.” They want to take over at least a part of the USA, either kick Americans out, or engage in genocide of White, Black and Asian Americans. They have this theory their blood is superior. Check out their various web sites. Talk to their members. It is really sick stuff, just like Hitler. Really.
Americams of all races are fed up with these criminal aliens demanding rights and privileges they are not entited too.
Our constitution says no discrimiation based on race or ethnic origin. Amnesty gives preference to the hispanic race, over all other races and ethnic origins in the USA and is not constitutional.
The stated reason for amensty is to help the Democratic party, which now should be called DIP, Democratic Illegal Party.
Our constitution says there is to be equal opporutinty under the law. Amnesty gives preference to hispancis who have a greater opportunity to come here illegals (unless we stop border control all airports check points for at least 8 years) so in not constitutional.
No, the only racists in this debate are the hispanics and their supporters.
“Sgtmajorbard” above make an interesting observation about CNN and Dobbs’ popularity. Kind of like the fact that Imus’ show was the best thing that MSLSD had going.
And, after all, Simon did not refute or even hint that he thought that Spitzer was not an idiot. That’s because he is.
Its too bad that more news people don’t call more of our leaders particularly politicians “idiots”. Because they often are. The illegal alien problems are only one aspect of the governing of this country that is really out of wack. Open the newspapers any day and you will see problems our leaders ought to be addressing and are not most usually due to pressure groups or the fact that many or our politicians must be on the take from some big businesses.
Fortunately I didn’t have the misfortune of having bigoted know it alls armed with their own agandas as teachers during my youth. You make unproven claims and specious arguments about a successful, seasoned broadcaster who doesn’t hide behind the vale of tenure, to earn his living. Far more successful than you or Eliot Spitzer, Dobbs earns his living every day and unlike teachers, works twelve months of the year. He also deals with factual information, and has found that there are thousands of Americans who’d take the jobs illegals are doing. You, armed with your bigoted agenda, devoid of facts or an interest in obtaining them are, if not an idiot, then surely a degreed purveyor of drivel, and by comparison to Lou Dobbs, much less successful in learning the truth of matters.
I wish Mr. Simon Barrett would come home one day and find that a family had ILLEGALLY broken into his home. I wish that family would demand Mr. Barrett to feed them, house them, provide their health insurance, education and any other “entitlements” they wanted. I wish Mr. Barrett would have to learn their language. I wish Mr. Barrett would be labeled a “racist and bigot” if he did not give in to their demands. I wish Mr. Barrett would simply live what he states he believes in. I wish everyone who reads his article would have enough sense to realize what a liberal elitist hypocrite he would be since he would not tolerate that ILLEGAL family and give into their “entitlement” demands. I wish with all my heart that liberals would have to live what they say they believe in. Oh how I wish.
Dobbs IS stupid and an idiot - Dobbs currently has job due to the existence of undocumented residents (aliens) - Viwership of his program are persons over the age of 60 who have not realized that there is new sydtem coming such as in Europe. Reminds me of the movie, “Dances With Wolves”, when the Indian Chief asks ‘dances with wolves’ “How many white men are coming?” and the white man points to the stars…….
I have to admit that I am not surprised by the majority of these comments. Right wing extremists are a pretty volatile lot! You have done nothing more than add to my convictions.
Aliens, both legal and illegal have done much for the US. In fact almost everyone is an alien. The native folks were dealt with years ago!
One of Mr. Dobbs favorite diatribes involves the out sourcing of American jobs to other countries, there are two reasons that this would work economically, 1) cost and 2) availability of workers.
Some of the commenter’s took umbridge at my assertion that no American would do the menial work for minimum wages that the illegal population do. Oh no, you cry, get rid of the aliens and americans will be lining up to trim the trees, mow your yard, clean your pool, or whatever it is they do.
How come all these high tech jobs are being outsourced? Well the simple answer is, no one in the US wants the job, or is not qualified to do the job. America has become a society of the lazy, it is easier to let the rubbish that Lou Dobbs talks lull you into a comfort zone than actually do something about it.
Get off your butts, go trim trees, mow yards for minimum wage, oh, and in the evenings go to school, and learn the high tech skills to compete in todays world. Then you can have bragging rights, and call me the idiot.
In the meantime I will stick by my convictions.
Simon
I guess one could expect no better of a left wing extremist with writing skills that make Homer Simpson sound like a poet laureate. Your cheap smears and second-rate regurgitation of the official MALWA line miss ignore the fact that his show is the second most popular on CNN - a network that does not have a reputation for a conservative bias.
Your contention that his job is in danger is laughable - CNN moves his slot into highest prime-time next week demonstrating your extremely weak grasp on public affairs
As to your reply - here’s a clue: there are lots of highly skilled IT workers who are being let go because they expect the prevailing wage for the job they are being asked to do. Now you have a clue.
let me just say i am a third generation Mexican American And i will never support
this new pro-illegal immigration Clan we need laws we need better health care we
need better schools and a lower cost of living illegals are not the back bone of this country they are at best a rich mans dream they rarely report there earnings
to the IRS And other Government Agencies that in most country’s is considered FRAUD !! AS FOR ALL THE PRO ILLEGAL SUPPORTERS SAY THEY GIVE US CHEAP PRODUCE WE GIVE THEM FREE SCHOOLING FREE HEALTH CARE VERY CHEAP HOUSING MOST ILLEGAL SUPPORTERS ARE VERY RACIST !! LOU DOBBS IS MARRIED TO A MEXICAN AND ALL HIS MEXICAN IN LAWS SUPPORT HIM WHY IS THAT ? THATS EASY ILLEGALS DON’T SPEAK FOR
ALL MEXICANS
zzsimonb i guess inbreeding in your family has slowed your mental capacity down
quit a bit right if you think 12 million people including women and children are mowing our yards cleaning our houses you are a very slowwww person 12 million illegals working for a Population:of 301,139,947 thats a lot of lawns genius
as for calling Americans lazy we have an unemployment rate of 4.9% thats damn near everyone with a job look at your home country im sure you unemployment rate is far higher then ours south America and Mexico have a very lazy population with the majority unemployed no job creation in decades if you don’t like it here just cross the border where you and your family entered !! VIVA LOU DOBBS !!!
Hello people, get a life. How come you’re attention to someone like Lou Dobbs?
Has he ever elected Governor of town? What does he know about administration,or Politics, except begotery? I think that extremist, like Lou Dobbs, has place in today’s society. What difference between Aboumassa Alzaquawi and Lou Dobbs?. Lou Dobbs is simply a ferous extremist whom’s view is to take America back to seventeen century.
We cannot put in the same basket the Governoer of the State of New York with Lou Dobbs who is simply a negligeable person for our society.
Fox, let’s rally behind any elected official who is humanistic and a people’s person.
Narrow minded or outdated people think that their views sit behind the rational.
But, this is why their way of thinking is so fulled of trash, they can’t see the world in the present tense. i mean that they don’t see the new world’s era. Some fox are so locked in their personal views, they cannot see beyond their nose.
This issue is so simple to sold, even a fifth grater can solve it. Why, policy makers in Washington don’t simply craft a piece of legislation to legalize the undocumented people living in this country? Now, Lou Dobbs, a clueless in public policy, ends up making this simple to solve becomes complex.
If Lou Dobbs thinks he can be elected to office, why doe he not run for it, instead dictating the New York Governor what to do? The Govenor is elected by NY citizens. Is Lou Dobbs from NY? Why does he keep his mouth shut in NY politics?
Lou Dobbs, your darkened mind along with your ill- spirit won’t detract the
Govenor going forward with what is good for not only NY, but also for the country in whole. Why don’t you go to hell?
Listen !! …. Lou Dobbs IS THE ONLY PERSON (OUT THERE!) WHO IS TRUELY representing the Middle Class citizens in the USA !!!!!!!! We need his Voice, and his representation of us! ….. Spitzer is a Lunatic on the finge of the LEFTY LOONIES … who IS obliged to the stinking Rotten Corporate Financial World and paying off his indebed-ness with OUR Precious American VOTES … so Smart Alec — you call him names and CONDEMN Lou for saying (even more Nicely!) — what we ALL are wanting to say!!!!!!! to his Spoiled BRAT rotten face !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is CNN waiting for? kick this boring drunk out. CNN’s attempt to gain short term ratings will hurt their credibility long term. It is so obvious this Hitler shows one side of the story and is almost comical already. Boycot one sided CNN.
Simon Barrett??? Who the hell is this idiot? Uugh..
Simon, you stated you “stand by my convictions”. Great! But will you LIVE them? As I stated in my earlier comment all I ask of liberals is simply to live what they state they believe in. I’ll ask you once more. Seriously. I will send an ILLEGAL family to your home. It will be YOUR personal responsibility to provide ALL the entitlements they demand. In return they may pick your lettuce,clean your dishes, mow your lawn and all the jobs you don’t like to do. Deal? All of us conservatives are eagerly awaiting your response.
Dobbs it truly the most divisive person on TV - well O’Reilly is pretty close. He appeals to no thinking people who can’t judge the facts for themselves. It would be nice to have news that’s objective and then we can draw our owm conclusions. Dobb’s is responsible for the dumbing down of the US. As for outsourcing - companies are outsourcing becaues we can’t find people in the US. The sad state of engineering and science force us to hire via H1B (Einstein, Fermi, Teller were all H1B) and to establish engineering offices in China, India, Korea. Dobbs is a graduate of Harvard and so is Bush it just shows how far that educational institution has sunk. Dobbs’s show is of the same ilk as the old Morton Downey show - it’s time to get rid of this idiot.
optoguy:
Corporate America is outsourcing most of its businesses to save a buck, because they do not want to pay higher wages to Americans. The American dollar is failing, and we are being screwed by our own government and businesses. The United States is going down the shitter. All of those people in India get paid a much lower wage than Americans do, and it is not because they are more experienced. Cooperate greed is the reason why we no longer have jobs, and even the call centers are going overseas. A monkey can do that job, and it doesn’t take someone from Harvard to do that. Well, maybe George Bush.
Kat
Your wrong - try to find engineers here especailly optical engineering people. They don’t exist. If you look at China and India most of their young people are going into engineering and science. Get a life about corporate greed - same old Dobbs bull. I’m not talking about call centers I’m talking about fundamental core jobs - the pity is we need more engineers, scientist and innovators and its not happening. Finally, if people rely on Dobbs and Reilly for theri news source we’ve become a nation of Zombies. Try to find an objective news show to give just the facts. All we have are negatgive Dobbs’ type talking heads.
I love Lou Dobbs because he thinks the way that I do. If some of you don’t agree with him…oh well. We are after all individual thinkers and everybody is not going to agree. That’s life!
this is a nation of immigrants. if Dobbs and the bigots commenting here don’t like it, leave it! you can immigrate to an all-white country and live your lives in happy racist isolation.
MDM the unfortunate thing is that you and Dobbs are unthinking individuals who don’t see the world in a larger view - maybe I’m wrong and it’s true you’re just bigots. I’d like to believe differently but there is no excuse for your stupidity. In yours and Dobbs’ view we should just put up a huge wall around the US and you’re forgetting all the contributions of immigrants. Especially all the ones who came here on H1B visas and contributed to Science and Engineering. Also the immigerants who come here are not afraid to work.
