There was an diary yesterday on Daily Kos highlighting a hit piece on
Lou Dobbs. I had done research that really debunked the article by David Leonhardt, and was preparing my own diary in defense of him. He beat me to the punch with his own response.
Go check out his response on CNN if you believe in hearing both sides of the story.
Since I did my own research before I saw this, and found out that the Leonhardt article was a hit piece, I believe Lou Dobbs on this, and give him the benefit of the doubt. He admits the mistakes he made readily in his article. I wish David Leonhardt would do the same, but don't expect it.
Lou Dobbs has been working for the middle class for a long while, and deserves some props from people. I am sure his corporate leadership was not terribly thrilled with some of the positions he has taken. Just because someone disagrees with you on an issue, don't smear them. The smearing tends to happen a lot, but it is dishonest. Go after their position, not their person. You might actually change some minds.
