Let the elistist millionaire snob Lou Dobbs hear from us about his slander of Obama!
"Do you believe that Senator Barack Obama's comments reveal his elitist attitude toward every hardworking American?"

46% said yes, of course, some are effected by PUSH POLLS, which this clearly was - "reveal" implies he has one! Bastards.

Tell Lou a thing or two!

2. Somehow, he'll blame Mexicans for this.
Maybe they made his xenophobia too spicy or something.

What I sent:
The poll question tonight and the comments made on the Lou Dobbs Show show a bias that is unacceptable for a real journalist. I've read Mr. Obama's statements and they do not indicate an elitist attitude towards small town America. Mr. Obama's statement indicate a much more realistic appraisal of the situation in small towns and their plight than Mr. Dobbs' usual characterizations on his programs. I've been a fairly regular viewer but will find another, less biased commentator to watch during this hour on weeknights.


I started watching Lou Dobbs for the fun in seeing a dyed in the wool old style conservative rip Bush and Co. new ones. But in the last year his rants about "illegal immigrants" has brought me to my senses and I've stopped watching him most of the time.

This tonight was the last straw. I tried to find their feedback form during the show but the CNN site has changed a lot and I could not locate it. Thanks for posting that link so we could let him know how we feel.

6. Lou Dobbs calling out someone..
for being an 'elitist'. What a joke. A group photo of the anchors on CNN would portray the image nicely.

8. Total Racist Hypocrisy
I can't watch that show...and when I heard them lead off the show with "breaking news", I couldn't get to the remote fast enough.

Here's a bunch of real elites...who drool at the feet of the Wall Street elite...and they've got the stones to cherry pick yet another statement and make both a narrative and controversy about it that lacks any context. It's just out to piss off and incite...far from inform, which is what a news channel was supposed to do.

Fortunately, this echo chamber is getting smaller. The more of this shit they pull, the more it shows their bias and racism. But that would require a mindset based on fairness and intellectual honesty...two things you'll never see with Lou Doobies.

9. Right on!
It's as if they were towing the Clinton/McCain line, by saying Obama 'revealed' his 'elitist' mentality. They twisted the wording.

And Hillary, the blathering fool went on a twist-fest yesterday!

Barack said people are bitter, they are! To hear Hillary respond as if Obama was saying Pennsylvanians were NOT hopeful, hard working, etc is such a SLIMEY MOVE by her - that Cafferty video really nailed it for me - "and I can read the damn (situation) thing and figure it out!"

Can't wait for her to drop outta the race, as she may well have to after Pennsylvania, because we might have to start laugh-squads at her rallies for her staying in when it's obvious she's got no chance.

The tighter it gets in PA, where she was SUPPOSED to win by 20 points and pull herself back into this, the more vile and false her twisting of the truth, and Obama's words, becomes! She sounds JUST like McCain!

11. Heh heh. Dobbs, that pompous, elitist snob got an earful tonight. Politely, of course.
And I clicked on "positive" for my comment to make sure it gets read. :)

14. How the hell is that elitist
People are bitter and angry about being ignored and having corporations run their lives? How is it elitist to point that out. I really don't grasp the logic.

17. Do you think we wiped the smile off of Dobbs face with the emails?
Edited on Sat Apr-12-08 06:08 PM by Life Long Dem
I think so after the first 5 minutes but...lets see.
