Here's Lou Dobbs giving 'em hell last night. Thank the lord someone in prime time gets it:
"...What you said was she cannot win the nomination...well, neither can Senator Obama."
"...Why in the world is there this compulsion, this insistence, that she can't win the nomination....neither can Senator Obama!" (emphasis by Lou)
"...And I have never seen in my career greater favoritism applied in the national media..."
Lou is correct. And I don't care whether Lou's views on public policy are conservative, moderate, or whatever. He has in fact been one of the fairest commentators on any cable channel this election season, certainly on CNN.
You can't even tell who he prefers for President...imagine that!
Give 'em hell Lou:
Updated 4/2/08 5:25 PM PST: In response to the comments below suggesting that it's un-Democratic and possibly criminal to quote Lou Dobbs, I want to clarify. The purpose of this diary is not to endorse or defend Lou Dobbs as a person or any economic, social, or political position he may hold. The intent of the diary is to endorse Dobbs' comments that are shown in the blockquotes, which unfortunately have not been heard so forcefully from any other prime-time broadcaster. In my view, it's myopic and un-democratic to pigeonhole a person: because Dobbs has conservative opinions about immigration, for example, doesn't rule out the possibility that he may have something of merit to say on another issue.
Updated 4/3/08 10:14 AM PST: I would like to note that several commenters to this diary have expressly or implicitly called me a racist. I urge myDD, in the strongest terms possible, to discourage and penalize this lowest form of insult. One such comment was posted at 12:30:06 PM EST
