Lou Dobbs - too cranky
---
Also in news (god we're desperate), CNN is trying to "negotiate" a change of attitude for Lou Dobbs, who is now airing a lot of "birther" hype in addition to his anti-immigrant rants. Evidently they still want him to be a crank but not too psycho a crank.

I want these "birther" crack pots make all kinds of noise, because as soon as Schwarzenegger is termed out you're gonna hear all kinds of GOPers talking about how we should have a new Constitutional ammendment that allows a foreign born person to run for President of the US. This will show the level of their hypocracy.
Schwarzenegger??? ....get real.
That's about as likely as Democrats pleading for Blagojevich to be re-installed as governor.
Arnold is lucky they still allow him into GOP functions.
As for birthers...I put them in the same category as 9/11 truthers.
Thankfully, nearly every conservative pundit has denounced them as fringe nutbags.
I'm sure the GOP faithful are weary of digging up the rotting corpse Ronnie and parading him around. You can't run a dead man for Prez. Everyone else on the GOP short list for 2012 has either been caught galavanting off to Argentina to play house, or got busted putting their mistress' entire family, (including the cuckold husband), on their payroll. I doubt they'd blink twice at putting a RINO like Arnie at the helm if it actually meant winning the helm back.
As for the "birthers", Rachael Maddow says 58% of rank and file pubies believe that nonsense. You just happen to have more sense than most.
I seem to recall a guy named Mitt Romney...
Did Maddow just pull those numbers out of her ass or was there a valid research poll she cited from?
Oh wait...lemme guess...was it this one?
A DailyKos poll?? ....LOL
That would be like me citing a poll from Free Republic.
Nice try but like I said...when even classic firebrands like Coulter and Beck are calling these people as cranks, you know their numbers are small and dwindling.
But hey...let's not forgot the conspiracy nuts on your your side of the aisle.
Democrats in America are evenly divided on the question of whether George W. Bush knew about the 9/11 terrorist attacks in advance.
Thirty-five percent (35%) of Democrats believe he did know, 39% say he did not know, and 26% are not sure.
So using Maddow's math, fully 61% of Democrats believe that fire cannot melt steel and that a U.S. president knowingly allowed the slaughter of 3,000 innocent American civilians.
You probably don't believe the Gulf of Tonkin incident was fabicated for an excuse to get us into Vietnam either. It was.
I don't remember what poll Maddow used.
You really think 'ol Mitt will try again?
What the hell does that have to do with 9/11?
Or do you have the guts to admit that you're a truther crank too?
"What the hell does that have to do with 9/11?"
Just another war that was created to support the military industrial complex. Eisenhower, (the last great Republican), warned us about this some 50 years ago.
And no I don't think I'm a crank. Bush wanted a reason to invade Iraq and grab Iraq's oil. Ignoring certain warnings, Presidential briefs, and intel was enough to allow it to happen with out implicating his administration. Was it an inside job like a lot of people are saying? No. It didn't have to be. People in his administration knew that the American people would want revenge, even if we attacked a country that had nothing to do with 9-11. Just as long as they were Islamic and unfriendly.
Let me ask you this. Why didn't we attack Saudi Arabia? Most of the highjackers were from there, none were from Iraq.
You mean the same military industrial complex that keeps watch over all us 24/7 365/year?
Next thing you'll be giving me that schools, Pentagon and bake sale quote.
It was all about the oiiiiiiiilllllllllll!!!!.....LMAO
Like both Clinton and Reagan did.
Knew how....with Ouija boards and crystal balls?
You're walking a mighty fine conspiracy crank line, here.
The ol' tried 'n true, All Americans are suspicious of foreigners (aka "racist")
Seeing as how I'm not the Secretary of Sate, I'll have to just say that I don't know.
I guess it's probably for the same reason that Obama has already flown over there to kiss King Abdullah's ass.
It's all about the oiiiiiiiilllllllllll
"Knew how....with Ouija boards and crystal balls?"
Knee jerk reaction, it was very predictable, especially with the most of the mainstream media cheerleading it.
"You mean the same military industrial complex that keeps watch over all us 24/7 365/year?"
Yea, the one that over charged us for soldier meals and running convoys of "sailboat fuel" all over Iraq. The one that wanted us to spend $1.75 billion on F-22 fighter jets that we don't need, and then denegrated Obama as "Mr Job Killer" for not wanting to do it.
"The ol' tried 'n true, All Americans are suspicious of foreigners (aka "racist")"
No, they had us all buying it, me included. When I got over my initial anger I paused long enough to see what they were doing.
"It's all about the oiiiiiiiilllllllllll"
If it wasn't all about the oil they certainly got the "unintented consequence" of having American, British, and Chinese companies in control of most of Iraq's oil market, but that's just a coincidence I suppose. Spoils of war and all.
I
my fave stark raving Dobbsian.
The very day all those banks collapsed, he was all:
"Quit saying the economy's bad! That's unpatriotic and defeatist! The economy is great and Obama better say so!"
wingnut denial a strange thing to behold. it's the worst pandemic around.
