Lou Dobbs Rips Stossel: A ‘Self Important Ass’ With ‘Myopic Idiocy’
Lou Dobbs Rips Stossel: A ‘Self Important Ass’ With ‘Myopic Idiocy’
Yesterday on his radio show, Lou Dobbs slammed Fox Business News correspondent John Stossel for recently denouncing Dobbs’ “rants about immigrants wrecking America.” Dobbs, who claims to love immigrants, ripped Stossel’s “myopic idiocy” and described Beck — who conducted the interview with Stossel — as a “rodeo clown”:
Fox Business News — their new hire John Stossel — weighing in with his own brand of myopic idiocy and no information whatsoever sat down with self-described rodeo clown Glenn Beck…what a self-important ass. … He doesn’t understand basic economics. … He’s just a silly little trick waiting to do some sort of Libertarian flip. [...]
Immigrants wrecking America — I’ve never said anything close to that. As a matter of fact, I embrace immigrants to this country, I welcome them, I want more — and as a matter of public policy, we need them. In no way am I restrictionist, and to hear this ass continue his act over at Fox News. I just can’t wait until he starts blowing bubbles in the air — that’s about all he’s equipped to do.
Listen here:
Besides accusing immigrants of bringing leprosy to the U.S. and promoting the “Aztlan” conspiracy theory that Mexicans are trying to reconquer part of the country, Dobbs has indeed embraced “restrictionist” arguments. In fact, he has called a high-skilled foreign worker visa program an “assault on middle class working men and women” and is quick to refer to anyone who advocates for sensible levels of legal immigration that match the nation’s economic needs “open border lobbyists.” Dobbs has gone so far as to suggest we can realistically deport all undocumented immigrants. Stossel indicated that he doesn’t subscribe to Dobbs’ views on immigration and draws the line at supporting conservatives like him.
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.

Hannity must be seething with jealousy at the arrival of Beck and the other recent “parvenus.”
The white-wing Politico now reports that the obese Roger Ailes, head of CroxNews, may be running for the presidency.
CroxNews is awash in aging fat white repiggie males.

Yeah, it kind of reminds me of a certain cable channel crying in protest after the Obama administration has stood up to their lies after many months of their b.s.
Who are we to criticize these pundits and talk show heroes? They do a swell job themselves, let them continue and we should all keep our opinions to ourselves. Just let them play themselves out. On the side, we see Palin going against the GOP; how quaint.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:00 amDobby is simply too accustomed to his home-patriarchal system of always being right and telling his Mexican-American wife to “shut the hell up” whenever he feels like.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:04 amHold on a second, there, pardner.
Didn’t the sht flinging Baboon said something very similar replying to Stossel?
(As reported by Andrea Nill on Oct 21st, 2009)
DAYUUUUM!
I’ll try to remember these two clowns when the next immigrant bashing wave comes around, especially since immigration reform will be proposed by the Democrats.

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:12 amAll the money Americans pay for cable and these two morons are what passes for “talent”.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:14 amFor the last 10 years the conservatives (especially Fox News) have taken the mindset that if they parrot talking points and say it enough times people will believe it, and with the Fox News audience and their 5th grade intelligence level it has worked. The only problem is that people have turned their backs on this kind of journalism (except the 5th grade mentality Fox News fans) and the conservatives are being called out on the B.S. they have been spewing. I guess it is hard to remember exactly what you say when you are talking out of your ass for 10 years. It has become ridiculously easy to catch these morons in sparkling examples of their hypocrisy. This is better than most of the shows on TV now.

But not for marrying his daughter.

Thank you Mr. Dobbs, uh I mean Mr. Peepers.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:41 amStossel ,Dobbs, Beck…..can we just retire these pundit/circus clowns?
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:41 amThey can then conduct their meaningless debates in private.
They have little relevance and contribute almost nothing of substance to the discussion of the challenges that America faces today……..you can throw in that demented sideshow circus clown Wolf Blitzer too.

October 23rd, 2009 at 11:42 amTell us what you really think, Lou! C’mon, don’t hold back.
I really thought Dobbs was auditioning for a job at Fox News so it’s a little surprising to see him trash their number one journalist and his new sidekick.

It appears that Dobbs has a raging case of projection.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:52 amSorry Zooey, illegal immigrants.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:53 amI love how clowns like Beck and Dobbs demonize and personally attack anyone who dares to disagree with them, even their fellow conservatives/Republicans, yet at the same time they are up in arms about the White House’s push back against Fox News’ lies.
If anyone disagrees with Beck or Dobbs, they are subhumans and idiots who should be drummed out of the conservative movement completely, yet the Obama White House saying Fox is not legitimate news is “fascism” and a “dictatorship” in their eyes.
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:54 amDobbs v. Stossel?
Pound him, Bevis!
Aim for the nads, Butthead!
October 23rd, 2009 at 11:56 am“A self important ass with myopic idiocy.”
That’s the best description of Lou Dobbs I’ve heard yet.

October 23rd, 2009 at 12:25 pm! MEOW!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 pmLOL
Obama’s election has turned the right into a multimedia staging of “Lord of the Flies”,
and it’s delightful entertainment. 4 stars!
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:28 pmRE: Aztlan conspiracy,
The duly elected officials of Texas have already announed their 10th Amendment to leave the union.
If we just give Texas to Mexico, we avert a second War of Northern Aggression and also cut off the Aztlan conspiracy (as they get what they want).
Sounds like a win-win
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:37 pmFrom Andrea’s post;
“Yesterday on his radio show, Lou Dobbs slammed Fox Business News correspondent John Stossel for recently denouncing Dobbs’ “rants about immigrants wrecking America.” Dobbs, who claims to love immigrants, ripped Stossel’s “myopic idiocy” and described Beck — who conducted the interview with Stossel — as a “rodeo clown”; “Fox Business News — their new hire John Stossel — weighing in with his own brand of myopic idiocy and no information whatsoever sat down with self-described rodeo clown Glenn Beck…what a self-important ass. … He doesn’t understand basic economics. … He’s just a silly little trick “”
Myopic idiocy? Rodeo clown? Self important ass? Silly little trick?
That Dobbs, always out there patting himself on the back.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:42 pmMy my, Dobbs sure does have thin skin.
I find it amusing that Dobbs is married to a Mexican woman. She must have very little ego strength to stand by someone who carries such hatred towards people of her race.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:43 pmThanks for playing another addition of “Republicans eating their own.”
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:43 pmMr.Peepers says:
Sorry Zooey, illegal immigrants.
How about undocumented workers. BTW, if you really do want to stop these people from coming to this country to work, go after the source of the problem. That would be the employers who have a job waiting for them. Then, if that works, be prepared to pay a lot more for your fruits, vegetables, wine, restaurant meals, hotel stays, etc.
October 23rd, 2009 at 12:49 pmAs little as I like Lou Dobbs, his rather disrespectful labeling of both Glenn Beck and John Stossel is on the mark.
The ‘Libertarian flip’ comment is particularly apropos!
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:08 pmDid Dobbs not get the offer he was hoping for from Fox?
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:10 pmBilbo,
2 things.
1. I never said anything about stopping them. I framed the debate that is going to keep them coming….Corporate greed and reduced cost of living.
2. Does “undocumented worker” encompass the roughly 126,000 people in jail in this country? Most of those are repeat lawbreakers (and I am not talking about the misdemeanor crossing the border illegally)….theft, drug dealing, MULTIPLE DWI, rape, etc.
What wins, the corporate and individual dollar of the hard workers, or the havoc being wreaked by the criminal element?
To date, the $$$ have won as usual.

October 23rd, 2009 at 1:20 pmAll of this public fighting is too bizarre and is not helping either Stossel or Dobbs ratings. I concur we should get our popcorn and watch this play out on both networks.

This is all kind of OT (apart from the fact that it’s one of Dobb’s overabused topics), but the fact that we have jobs here (or had them) is not the source of the problem. The source of the problem is that in their own countries, the people who come here without government permission don’t have access to capital, they’re frozen out of the business environment by oligarchies, etc, etc. If their own home country economic environments were as open to opportunity as ours is (sometimes), we’d see fewer of them here.

Naw, we give Mexico Rick Perry and the other Texas seccessionists, and we keep the real estate. That’s a win-win.
October 23rd, 2009 at 1:28 pmSo Mr. Peepers,
All the American citizens doing those things are just fine with you eh? They LOVE America, even though they’re killing people DWI?
Shithead.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:53 pmI just love that shit is okay, but not the 3-letter word for backside. Can we please have moderation, in more moderation? ;)
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:54 pmSorry, one more.
I see TP uses that 3-letter word, in the Headline of this very story. But we can’t use it. Okay then.
October 23rd, 2009 at 4:57 pmOdd that twat is okay isn’t it?

What the hell are you talking about? No, it is not okay for ANYBODY to commit those crimes. My point is that those coming here and committing violent crimes, dealing drugs, endangering people in general are making it tougher for those truly trying to find a better life for themselves and their families.
October 23rd, 2009 at 8:55 pmZooey,
Illegal Alien.
Illegal: unlawful, illegitimate, unlicensed.
Alien: a resident born in or belonging to another country who has not acquired citizenship by naturalization
October 24th, 2009 at 12:08 amI think that’s the first thing I’ve ever heard Mr. Dobbs say that I actually agree with.
October 24th, 2009 at 2:19 amDobbbs and his comments need to be SHUT OFF – even the ones that make sense, can Latinos begin boycotting any and all brands advertised in CNN?
October 24th, 2009 at 11:37 amYes they can, mejor dicho “Si Se Puede” but the rhetoric begins, Puerto Ricans cannot work with Mexicans, Dominicans, do not digg Guatemalans and so on and we end up in the same place – pushed over by ignorance protected by a giant CNN.

I love watching the FauxNoose neocons eat each other up. With our luck, they will have pretty much destroyed themselves by the next election that us dems should win by a landslide. I know this is O/T, but has anybody heard anything new on the House race in upstate New York? The last thing I heard was that the repugs were divided into two candidates and fighting each other, but I haven’t heard anything new since then.
