Lou Dobbs blaming the so called LIBERAL media for the illegal alien story
Dick head was just interviewed on The Joe Madison Show ranting that its the liberal media and taking face value that the story is true without checking the facts.Unfortunately Madison is his friend and was sticking up for him

1. From what I have heard it seems like a pretty beefed up story that is not worth reporting

If I contract a company to work on my house and a person working for the company is not legal - am I responsible for it or is the company they are employed by

5. Dobbs wants it both ways.
Dobbs said that he's never employed an undocumented worker - either directly or indirectly. But, as Lawrence O'Donnell pointed out to him last night - we all employ undocumented workers indirectly. Then Dobbs said that people who employ companies that employ undocumented workers have no responsibility for them.

He's happy using undocumented workers, but doesn't think he should be punished for doing so - even though he's said the exact opposite in the past.

6. True. Though someone as concerned as Lou Dobbs is about
the issue - one would think he'd check on it, especially when it comes to businesses known to employ illegals!

2. He was trying to sanitize his hate-mongering on Last Word.
Dammit! Some guy just let his dog leave a Lou Dobbs on my lawn!

3. Don't that chap your ass?
I had a dog come by and leave a big pile of Cheney on my lawn, and dribbled a couple of George Bushes as he walked off.

4. More or less Dobbs said the same thing on GMA, in the presence of the author
Edited on Fri Oct-08-10 07:56 AM by no_hypocrisy
of the article in The Nation.

He refused to respond to her assertations and kept blaming the liberal media doing a hit job on him.

On an unrelated note, I feel for the exploited employees or contractees as I'm sure they lost their jobs by now. Bad enough when they were working for him and worse now that they aren't.
