CNN’s Lou Dobbs, no friend of Hillary or Obama?
CNN’s Lou Dobbs is something of a unique cable news journalist. Personally, I find him to be rather pompous and self-important with his “War on the Middle Class” theme. Also, he has an irritating anti-GOP bias that is, fortunately, readily transparent. However, he does have some valid points and criticisms to make of both the Left and Right from time to time. But yesterday, I had to hit the rewind button on my TIVO several times to make sure that I heard him correctly.
During an extended segment on Lou Dobbs Tonight October 26th episode, an almost agitated Lou discussed the defeat of ”Dream Act” legislation that was little more than a smoke screen for an illegal immigrant amnesty. He dutifully noted that both Hillary and Obama (a co-sponsor of the bill, no less) were both supporters of the legislation. Continuing, he then went on to express his, and more than 70% of New Yorker’s, outrage over Democratic Governor Eliot Spitzer’s plan to issue driver licenses to illegal immigrants. Plus, in an invitation to massive voter fraud, Spitzer has ordered state employees to register ”voters” on an essentially “no questions asked” policy which can conveniently be accomplished in the Great State of New York while obtaining a driver license. It’s not hard to connect the dots here.
But the most notable of Lou’s comments came in response to a viewer who wrote in to say that she had changed her voter registration to “independent” and that she felt that Governor Spitzer, and both Senator Schumer and Senator Clinton should be “voted out” of office. To which Lou replied that he “couldn’t agree more.” Remember, this was on his prime time CNN news program! Watch the video and see for yourself.
