Caught Lou Dobbs today on his notorious program. Except having to bear his daily anti-immigration ranting, it is actually quite amusing to watch him breathlessly announce the results of those daily 'unscientific' web polls. So I dediced to do a little bit dig on his 'polls' by reading those transcripts provided by CNN.
Here is the result of Lou Dobbs' 'polls'.
April 21:
That brings us to the subject of our poll tonight. Do you believe the president's "jobs Americans won't do" phrase is an insult to American citizens? Yes or no?
The results of our poll tonight, 96 percent of you say the president's "jobs Americans won't do" phrase is an insult to American citizens.
April 20:
And that does bring us to our poll tonight. Now, do you believe the United States is protecting its own interests when it comes to its China policy? That's a yes or no vote tonight.
Now the results of tonight's poll, 94 percent of you believe the United States is not protecting its own interests when it comes to its China policy.
April 19:
That brings us to the subject of our poll tonight. Who is to blame for this country's massive trade deficit, loss of middle class jobs and dependence on China for computers, consumer electronics, clothing, and a host of other products? President Bush or President Hu?
DOBBS: The results of our poll tonight, overwhelming. 97 percent of you say President Bush is to blame for this country's massive trade deficit, loss of middle-class jobs, and dependence on China for computers, consumer electronics and clothing. A clear statement.
April 18:
DOBBS: Lisa Sylvester, thank you very much. An excellent report. Good to have you here in New York.
That brings us to the subject of our poll tonight. Do you believe Congress should first demand that our borders and ports should be secured before even taking up the issue of immigration reform? Yes or no?
DOBBS: The results of tonight's poll overwhelming, 97 percent of you responding that you believe Congress should first demand that our borders and ports be secured before Congress takes up immigration reform.
So Lou Dobbs' polling results over the past few days are 96%, 94%, 97%, 97%. LOL. This is just hilarious. The only poll that matched Lou Dobbs' outstanding performance was this one from ...
North Korea Hails 100 Percent Poll Support for Leader Kim Jong Il
SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Monday that polls in which voters gave leader Kim Jong-il 100 percent support showed the communist state was "firm as a rock" in the face of economic woes and isolation over its nuclear ambitions.
The 61-year-old Kim was one of 687 deputies elected unopposed on Sunday for seats in North Korea's rubber-stamp legislature, the Supreme People's Assembly.
North Korea's official KCNA news agency quoted the Central Election Committee as saying turnout was 99.9 percent of registered voters and that 100 percent of the votes were cast for the sole candidates.
"This is an expression of all the voters' support and trust in the DPRK government and a manifestation of our army and people's steadfast will to consolidate the people's power as firm as a rock and accomplish the revolutionary cause," KCNA said.
2. More evidence on Lou Dobbs being a white supremacist.
Lou Dobbs obviously thinks highly of that notorious white supremacist group 'Minuteman'. The following is Lou Dobbs' proud moments with those 'patriots'.
In recent months, Dobbs has run countless upbeat reports on the "citizen border patrols" that have sprung up around the country since last April's Minuteman Project, a paramilitary effort to seal the Arizona border.
And now for a little dose of reality: Many of Lou's " American patriot " guests who represent organizations that help protect our "broken borders" have ties to various white supremacist groups, racist organizations and recognized hate groups.
GLENN SPENCER, head of the anti-immigration American Patrol, has been interviewed at least twice on the show, on Jan. 7 and June 4, 2004. Spencer's Web site is jammed with anti-Mexican vitriol and he pushes the idea that the Mexican government is involved in a secret plot to take over the Southwest -- facts never mentioned on Dobbs' show.
-snip-
Spencer has spoken at least twice to the white supremacist Council of Conservative Citizens, which has described blacks as "a retrograde species of humanity," and once to American Renaissance, a group that contends that blacks are genetically inferior to whites. Dobbs has never reported those ties
BARBARA COE, leader of the California Coalition for Immigration Reform, was quoted on a show last March bitterly attacking Home Depot for "betray[ing] Americans," apparently because Hispanic day laborers often gather in front of the store looking for work. Not mentioned were her group, listed by the SPLC as a hate group, or the fact that she routinely refers to Mexicans as "savages." Coe recently described herself as a member of the Council of Conservative Citizens, a "white pride" group formed from the remnants of the segregationist White Citizens Councils of the 1950s and 1960s that were once described by Thurgood Marshal as "the uptown Klan." She also told The Denver Post in November that she had given a speech to the group.
A man named JOE MCCUTCHEN was quoted last April as part of a feature on the Minuteman Project, described by Dobbs as "a terrific group of concerned, caring Americans." No mention was made of the fact that McCutchen, who heads up an anti-immigration group called Protect Arkansas Now, had written a whole series of anti-Semitic letters to the editor and given a speech to the Council of Conservative Citizens -- facts revealed the prior January by SPLC, causing Arkansas' Republican governor to denounce McCutchen's group.
In fact Dobbs regularly praises the excellent work done by the Minutemen and the other "border security" militias that patrol our southern borders. This, despite the fact that many of these groups are following in a long tradition of racist border vigilantism.
Although Chris Simcox and Jim Gilchrist are seen as the fathers of the Minuteman movement, citizen vigilante border patrols are not a new concept. Simcox and Gilchrist are following in the footsteps of other anti-immigrant activists before them, and it is well-trodden ground.
Klansmen were on the Mexican border 28 years before the Minutemen co-opted the concept. And they were talking about the Hispanic immigration threat more than five decades before that.
I just did a little research myself by using the transcripts provided by CNN. Just randomly selecting a April 4th Lou Dobbs' program, I found this very interesting choice of language by Lou Dobbs.
Lou Dobbs used the term 'illegal aliens' as many as 35 times in this program.
His guests all used the term 'illegal immigrants' by 13 times.
There is no doubt in my mind, 'illegal aliens' is a coded word, a matching order for Lou Dobb's white supremacists' 'patriots'.
This guy is not only insane, he is a demagogue, a criminal. He should be jailed under the anti-hatred laws, instead CNN is continuing to let him announce those ridiculous north korea style 'poll' results.
I will continue to expose this criminal.
