Hey Lou Dobbs: the KKK was a "tradition of voluntarism"
Xenophobe Doobs just used that phrase to describe the noble work of the racist anti-immigrant Minutemen.
Dobbs continues his morph into O'Reilly

1. I just heard him kiss the Minutemen too


I don't feel comfortable with the little Minuteman.

If they want to volunteer they should go to the National Guard.

3. Dobbs could care less about you or middle class Americans...
He is first and foremost a corporatist hack, caring only about big business. Secondly, he is a teevee pundit, carving out a niche for himself through ignorance, xenophobia, patriotism and nationalism (read: targeting the ignorant), all in order to expand his target market. (hence, a larger piece of the advertising revenue pie). Saying Dobbs cares about middle class Americans is like believing Bush when he says Jesus is his favorite philosopher. Dobbs is an opportunist, using the fear, hatred and xenophobia of his viewers to gain popularity where little existed before. It is called reinventing himself for profit motives. Look at and study his past and then say he cares about "middle class americans". Follow the money...... Typical pundit using the ignorance of his viewers to self-aggrandize his self worth.

4. It's nice to hear he cares about the middle class
because he certainly doesn't seem to give a rat's ass about the lower class.
