John Stossel: ‘I Don’t Subscribe To Lou Dobbs-Kind Of Rants About Immigrants Wrecking America’
John Stossel: ‘I Don’t Subscribe To Lou Dobbs-Kind Of Rants About Immigrants Wrecking America’
Latino and pro-immigrant activists have launched two campaigns, Drop Dobbs and Basta Dobbs, which are aimed at pressuring CNN to “hold Mr. Dobbs to journalistic standards” or dump him altogether. Perhaps sensing an opportunity, Fox News’ senior vice president for programming, Bill Shine, is trying to court Dobbs over to Fox’s business channel.
However, it seems not everyone at Fox News will be welcoming Dobbs with open arms. The network’s newest addition, John Stossel, issued some scathing criticisms of Dobbs in a radio interview today with fellow Fox colleague Glenn Beck. Stossel indicated that he doesn’t support conservatives like Dobbs who rail on immigrants. Beck asked Stossel whether he is willing to “throw his vote away” and not vote for a Republican. Stossel firmly held that if “conservative means stop all immigration and some other things that conservatives say,” then he will not vote Republican:
STOSSEL: If it means the Lou Dobbs-kind of rants about immigrants wrecking America, I don’t subscribe to that. I think immigrants by and large do good things for America.
BECK: I think immigrants I think we need more immigrants, ones that want to be Americans because those immigrants are the only ones that are reminding us that we better get off our ass, we’ve got liberty here and we forget about it all the time.
Listen:
Lou Dobbs’ rants include promoting the “Aztlan” conspiracy theory about Mexican immigrants trying to reconquer portions of the American southwest, falsely claiming that immigrants are bringing leprosy to the US, and musing about whether President Obama himself is an “undocumented” immigrant.

Lou Dobbs is a hate-filled, violence-promoting, ill-informed, bigot & racist. Perfect for Fox.
October 21st, 2009 at 4:57 pmFirst sensible thing Stossel has said since the whole “Greed is Good” thing.
October 21st, 2009 at 4:57 pmWait a minute. Was this said on the “news” part of Fox or the “opinion” part? I understand they suddenly claim there is a difference.
October 21st, 2009 at 4:58 pmIsn’t it interesting how GOP/Fox trolls sit around watching this site (& others) in order to be first on the list? How much are these lowlifes paid to hover over progressive sites? Couldn’t some grad student investigate this for a thesis?
October 21st, 2009 at 4:59 pmOoh Boy!
You can bet John is gonna get paddled for that when Dear Leader Rupert, his wife Roger Ailes and threesome bunkmate Rush Limbaugh get hold of him.

Beck has done a great job in showing everyone how health care must include provisions for treating mental illness, which you can see weekdays at 5PM eastern time.

My bad, I’d intended to type Oblermann. Sorry about that; No disrespect intended!

What part of ILLEGAL immigrant don’t you understand?
The part that says a white KKKracker like you is “legal” while a “Native American” born in Mexico isn’t? You know, a “Native American” from the “Americas”? ;)
October 21st, 2009 at 5:20 pmhe’s still an ass_hole.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:23 pmWhat part of cheap produce, slaughterhouse meats, and landscaping don’t you understand. The employers are the “illegals”
October 21st, 2009 at 5:27 pmStossel is a noodle brain. No matter what his view is on immigration….he’s still a right wing lunatic not far from Beck’s level.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:27 pmCome on, IT’S STOSSEL!!
He’s a twit!
October 21st, 2009 at 5:33 pmBECK: I think immigrants I think we need more immigrants, ones that want to be Americans because those immigrants are the only ones that are reminding us that we better get off our ass, we’ve got liberty here and we forget about it all the time.
Tranlated:
October 21st, 2009 at 5:37 pmI don’t want to disagree with you, cause you’ll cut me to pieces, so I’ll just say something that’ll make you feel good.
I hate them furriners and their welfare cheating illegal voting asses.
Being that Stossel went on Becks show to say this, you can’t take his criticism seriously. He and Lou will be sitting across from each other when Lou gets hired at Fox.

Boarders are man made imaginary lines that are meant to keep us divided and fighting.
No, boarders are people who rent rooms in your house.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:46 pmWe’ve been over and over this. When are you going to start paying attention?!
Hi STORM:
October 21st, 2009 at 5:47 pmBoarders?
October 21st, 2009 at 5:49 pmSTORM did you ever notice that the freaks that coop up in their homes with lots of firearms because they are too cheap to pay their taxes are always right of center? What is the deal with that?
STORM says:
“i like mustard on my fried taters! ugh-huh!”
October 21st, 2009 at 5:54 pmI guess even a blind squirrel will occasionally find a nut:
STORM says:
When you don’t pay taxes you do not care how the government spends tax money.
Or when you underpay what is really your share, like everyone who exceeds the SSI cap on earnings; they don’t care if the money is squandered, because it’s so little of their incomes, it will never really affect them. But in the meantime, SSI slowly goes bankrupt.
October 21st, 2009 at 5:56 pmSTORM says:
When you don’t pay taxes you do not care how the government spends tax money.
It’s basically impossible to live in the US and not pay taxes in some form! LOL!
STORM says:
Free love man, let em all in if they can get here.
Why are we talking about the GOP and Halliburton? LOL!
STORM says:
Its all about compassion for your fellow man, were all in this together.
Except when you white KKKrackers want to abuse “Native Americans” and make them “criminals” for living in the lands of their ancestors…
STORM says:
Boarders are man made imaginary lines that are meant to keep us divided and fighting.
Boarders on “stolen” land? Convenient isn’t it? ;)
October 21st, 2009 at 6:00 pmOf course undocumented workers pay taxes, unless an unscrupulous employer — which they must be if they’re hiring undocumented workers — is paying them under the table, which is illegal.
Not only do these worker pay taxes, they will never get the benefit of those social security and medicare payments they make.
So f uck off, StormPutz, and go spend time educating yourself, rather than making a fool of yourself here.

Do you have any evidence?

October 21st, 2009 at 6:05 pmWell why don’t we start a list and then we can look up the political leanings of the whackjobs. What do you say? Let’s keep it to those who hate taxes and their government okay?
Why is StormPutz suddenly in need of evidence? Hasn’t his ass been a sufficient source until now?

Hypocrite?
October 21st, 2009 at 6:25 pmStossel and Dobbs will be best friends by the end of next week. You watch.
October 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pmHas Lou Dobbs proved yet that his wife is not an illegal immigrant he’s been covering for to keep her from being deported?
October 21st, 2009 at 6:40 pmDear John,
Did you not see what happened to Marc Lamont Hill in the following segment?
Consider yourself warned,
October 21st, 2009 at 6:53 pmRupert
You can not blame an illegal for crossing a border to make a better life for his family. I would do it, most of you would as well.
If you really want this stopped, throw a few of the employers in jail. Big business does not want this stopped, they love the cheap labor.
They are the villans in this, not the poor people trying to feed their families.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:02 pmLou Dobbs wife should be thrown in jail. The charge? Bestiality, she is sleeping with a pig.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:04 pmOops. Stossel is a marked man at FOX NEWS. Auspicious beginning.
October 21st, 2009 at 7:35 pmStossel has a pornstache.
October 21st, 2009 at 8:30 pmDobbs/Palin in 2012.
However, I think they’d have to go moose hunting in Alaska to give them a chance to work out which one would run for president and which one would run for vice-president. Maybe Palin would “Cheney” Dobbs!
October 21st, 2009 at 8:43 pmAs long as they drink all are welcome.
October 21st, 2009 at 9:39 pmSeems STORM wasn’t all that interested…
October 21st, 2009 at 9:43 pmI’m going to leave the comedy to the pros..
Beck – ‘you’re throwing your vote away if you don’t vote for the republican’
Beck – ‘we need immigrants that want to be Americans’
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:27 amdbadass.. good link.. but to make sure storm get’s it –
”the tax protest movement is a key component of the strain of extreme right-wing anti-government activism often referred to as the “patriot” movement.”
Beck/Steele 2012
October 22nd, 2009 at 1:40 amOf course Stossel thinks immigrants are by and large good…especially the illegal ones who Stossel is in favour of because they drive down the minimum wage which Stossel thinks is just too darn high. Stossel believes it is in America’s best interest to let corporations pay as little as they can to employees, not pay any sort of benefits, not have unions, and there shouldn’t be any government concerns about worker safety. Stossel would have immigrants STILL locked inside Walmart. So let’s not go patting him on the back too hard here.
October 22nd, 2009 at 10:11 amThey tuk er jerbs!

Without Lou Dobb’s commentary Americans would never know about the cloaked agenda of the open border zealots. Lou brought the un-exaggerated truth about the 20 to 30 million illegal immigration invasion from every corner of the world?
Our government needs to prove to the American workers that they mean what they say? That means secure borders and interior immigration enforcement. E-Verify is part of nationwide enforcement, a tool that has caused hysteria amongst the open border demagogues. E-verify was nearly sold out by Sen. Harry Reid , Nancy Pelosi and even Janet Napolitano. But this time they failed to arrest it’s capability to remove E-Verify from the Parthenon of tools, that addresses the illegal immigration invasion. Brought into the spotlight by Senator Sessions, they Democratic leadership were unable to sink it beyond the enlightened eyes of the attentive public. As with the 1986 Immigration control and reform bill, those anti-sovereignty organizations have–NEVER–tried to–ENFORCE–the law.
So now those catering to big business are repeatedly saying its broken. like any immigration enforcement laws, Democrats and Republicans alike over decades have refused to enforce the border. A new survey conducted by Rasmussen Reports reveals that 56% of Americans say that federal immigration policies encourage illegal immigration, and 64% believe that local law enforcement should conduct raids in places where illegal aliens gather to find work. Only 19% opposed the raids compared to 24% who opposed such raids back in April. Another condemnation by faith groups is Sen. Chuck Schumer’s attempt to claim overwhelming evangelical Christian support for his pending amnesty legislation has crumbled. His master plan was to use the staff and leadership of the National Association of Evangelicals (NAE) to give the impression of near unanimity.
The NAE tried. But after the members in the pew erupted, only 11 of the 40 NAE member denominations have been willing to sign on to endorse amnesty and Schumer’s “comprehensive immigration reform” agenda. Sen. David Vitter (R-La.) offered an amendment to the Commerce, Justice and Science (CSJ) appropriations bill that would have prevented CSJ funds from going to cities or localities with “sanctuary” policies (i.e., those cities that prohibit their police officers from assisting Immigration and Customs Enforcement, refuse to report criminal illegal aliens, and act as safe havens for illegal aliens). The paranoid Senators voted 61-38 to table the amendment (effectively killing it), with at least one of your Senators voting against the amendment. Unfortunately these are SANCTUARY STATES such as California that is now submerged under massive financial debt, a large portion caused by the millions of illegal families living of state welfare.
This included Sen. DeMint amendment to construct the original–DOUBLE LAYER–fence, authored originally by Rep.Duncan Hunter, which like most approved laws are hastily thrashed in cloaked conferences pandering to corporate cartels and pro-illegal immigrant lobbyists. Thanks to the open border groups our border defenses comprises of a single layer barrier, with large areas of nothing to halt illegal criminals, drug peddlers, uninhibited terrorists and scores of illegal aliens with families from entering America. Sanctuary policies encourage illegal immigration by sending a signal across the world that anyone who manages to enter the United States will be able to stay here as long as they wish – regardless of their status – because our government lacks the will to enforce its own laws. These illegal policies have contributed to our current illegal immigration debacle and are an embarrassment to the country.
Call and blast your Senators and Representative at 202-224-3121 in Washington. Overwhelming the switchboard with your calls, as it is having an outstanding effect of–MILLIONS of angry voters. INFORM THEM DO YOUR DUTY OR SUFFER THE CONSEQUENCES ON RE-ELECTION DAY? Tell them you want a PERMANENT E-Verify for–EVERY WORKER, a secure double layer fence and–REAL–enforcement against sanctuary state policies. Read undisclosed facts at NUMBERSUSA. UNEARTH the corruption at JUDICIAL WATCH. Your voice is needed to halt OVERPOPULATION and American Worker survival. Demand NO-MORE-AMNESTIES. Go home and come through the front door, like millions of legal immigrants?

October 28th, 2009 at 5:32 amWait, if Beck is so anti-immigrant, then who is he going to go to in order to get his car fixed, his lawn mowed, or his house cleaned? Oh, that’s right he’d have to get up off his lazy butt and do those things himself if they were all deported, like he’s advocating for..
P.S. Whenever someone tells me that they are anti-illegal immigration, I just want to ask them this very same question, but I haven’t yet because the people who i know that are anti-immigrant are also anti-thinking, so any question that makes them think is just bound to make their head explode.
