Lou Dobbs Rips PresidentBush
By encinoman
CNN &;journalist&; Lou Dobbs attacked President Bush today on CNN.com for the immigration bill the President supports. Money quote:
President Bush is building his legacy, adding another unfortunate line of hollow bravado to his rhetorical repertoire. To &;Mission accomplished,&; &;Bring it on,&; &;Wanted: Dead or alive,&; and of course, &;I earned &; political capital, and now I intend to spend it,&; he has added &;I&;ll see you at the bill signing,&; referring to his own ill-considered push for so-called comprehensive immigration reform legislation.
I&;m no Bush fan, but I&;m troubled when a network&;s leading anchor foregoes journalistic objectivity to blast a President, particularly when that President is trying to address the immigration issue with a bipartisan solution. A current poll reveals that &;a strong majroity of Americans-including two-thirds of Republicans- favor allowing illegal immigrants to become citizens to become citizens if they pay fines, learn English and meet other requirements.&;
That doesn&;t stop Dobbs from dancing on the edge of paranoia, xenophobia, and yes, racism, once again.
In what other country would citizens be treated to the spectacle of the president and the Senate focusing on the desires of 12 million to 20 million people who had crossed the nation&;s borders illegally, committed document fraud, and in many cases identity theft, overstayed their visas and demanded, not asked, full forgiveness for their trespasses?
Illegal aliens and their advocates, both liberal and conservative, possess such an overwhelming sense of entitlement that they demand not only legal status, but also that the government leave the borders wide open so that other illegals could follow as well&;
Does this help CNN maintain its hard-won reputation for integrity and credibility? And is a ranting Lou Dobbs the face of TimeWarner that CEO Richard Parsons want to show?

I started watching Lou Dobbs about 2 years ago and can honestly say he is the reason I have cable. He galvanized me into action on a host of issues. Sean Hannity and Bill O Rielly are nothing more than Bush bots..please do not put Lou in the same category as those brown nosers. I think Dobbs is one of the most powerful men in America. I just love the guy and encourage everyone I know to listen to his broadcast.
