"Mr. Independent" Lou Dobbs continues to show us he's nothing but a Republican tool. His poll question for the evening:

Are you concerned that President Obama seems compelled to continue to apologize for the United States wherever he travels?

Why don't you take our new CNN/ Lou Dobbs poll:

Should CNN apologize to America because Lou Dobbs is a Republican tool?(polls)

Is it Dobbs Poll or Dubious Poll?

... what exactly?

Which is done all the time here!

Thanks!

[No it's not. It's off topic, and undermines the thread-Sitemonitor]

I think unrelated stuff usually is expected to go on the open threads BTW.

Oh well!

New Poll:

"Should CafeenMan apologize for living in a country where Lou Dobbs and Dick Cheney are considere relevant?"

Yes: 1 vote
No: 0 votes

I see this idiot at the gym and every "poll" he has is some snide backhanded comment about the Obama adminsitration designed to skew heavily in favor of his viewpoint so his sympathetic viewers can back him up. Can anyone remember when a poll result on his show hasn't favored his viewpoint? They're all the equivelent of "How long has Obama beaten his wife?"

They're still dating and he's already beating her?

Are you angry that the United States government is continuing to let illegal Mexican aliens come to America and rape your sisters, wives and daughters?

All the Americans doing the same.


What is your conceptual, continuity?

Chuck U is right. Almost all of "liberal" CNN (the Clinton News Network, according to the right) polls read something like "Have you stopped beating your wife?"

the question is, "When did you stop beating your wife?"

Funny how that one always skews to the right and is he on Repugs always point to as "the popularity polls".

You mean the same rasumssen reports which has endorsing quotes by luminaries like Kudlow and Frist?

BTW, why don't you link at the real poll from the real rasumssen website, you know... like this one:

Anyhow, how are things in troll land. Are you guys resolving the dispute with the back payments the GOP owed you? I heard you guys have been working for free for the past half a year....

... and provide much needed comedic relief.

For the past weeks, I have to sit down and write copious amounts of code. So I am behind a #$@#@ computer screen for long periods of time, solving some cool problems. Therefore, observing some dumbass using the same tool, a computer, to post utter nonsensical propaganda.... sort of provides a weird context to the silliness of it all.

Trolls also help me prepare for the onslaught of FOX-talking points that usually ensue whenever I have to stop by my in-laws. Their groupthink is scary... literally, I have read some troll post in the morning. And then in the evening my FIL said the same talking point/position/news item word for word. It is like they are beamed instructions by the mothership on a daily basis or something...

"You mean the same rasumssen reports which has endorsing quotes by luminaries like Kudlow "

Lisa Kudlow from freinds is spouting politics? That should be interesting!

After Obama won I took part in a phone poll. Questions like do you love Obama or just faun at his feet? So his approval ratings were really high after the poll!

Now the poll questions are "do you approve of the way he's burning the capitol down" I wonder why his ratings are falling!

Why can't they just ask real questions in their polls in stead of using them to prove their points?! Obama is such a breath of fresh air after the years of lies we lived through can't we let him try to do his job before we start picking opponents to run against him?

Yes. Should the US continue to be in denial for it's invasions. No.

And that's that. Obama has changed the tone of America, and Canadians are liking it.

I quit paying attention to this fool back when he started rampaging about Mexicans. He is obsessed with certain things and it is obvious that he is a racist hater (rethuglican). Dobbs is insignificant and hasn't figured it out yet.

A Lou Dobbs 'push poll' is a great idea for a regular feature on C&L. They can even be framed to relate to each of Lou's rediculous polls as they happen. His polls are utterly rediculous and need to be called out for what they are. Thanks C&L.

The only fault the USA has is that it promoted for decades the fallacy that we did not make mistakes and that every military endeavor we embarked upon was to "protect America"... what a CROCK! At least we have a President who simply calls it like it is. it is what we MUST DO in order to establish an atmosphere of mutual trust. President Obama is perhaps the greatest President this nation has EVER had. Most certainly the greatest President we have had in the last 60 years. He made more progress for world peace in his 55 minute speech yesterday than all the presidents combined in the last 60 years for sure.

... countries invade other countries, and kill hundreds of thousands of innocent civilians in the process, all the time. Geez, what's the big deal?

USA USA USA USA USA!

Anyhow, all joking aside. The old adagio applies on this one: it takes a real man to say he's sorry.

It is there fore quite interesting and telling, to see the right wing peanut gallery blowing a fuse because they can't bring themselves to even consider they could have done anything wrong... never mind even consider apologizing.

It speaks volumes about the "manhood" of these chickenshits. Not that I am surprised, it is just that remembering that adagio completely tied it in for me...

Bonkers's picture

I was going to post almost word-for-word the same thing. [signs bottom of TD's post]

Dobbs, wow....what can I say? I am so darned impressed by what a tough guy he is. Say: I wonder if it ever occurred to him that inflexibility and egocentric babbling is more reminiscent of a spoiled, puffed up teenager than a mature, reasoning person? Grow up, Dobbs, you old fool. The world has passed you and your familiars by.


I'm just superstitious enough to hedge my bets.

This just in... Lou Dobbs says Obama is weak. that is all...

Woody McBreairty's picture

I agree with some of the things Lou Dobbs says but his arrogance and condescending style more often than not makes him hard to watch. He acts like he knows everything, has all the answers, belittles people who disagree with him with snide, insulting comments, a very Bill O'Reilly-esque way of "interviewing" people, although Lou doesn't scream and carry on like a mad man like O'Reilly does. But as soon as he (and O'Reilly) get on their high horses and start degrading and insulting others in their "I-Know-It-All" way, I simply turn them off or switch channels. I can only take both of them in very small doses.


Woody McBreairty

his poll shows that 67% of his audience are bush supporters and right wing nut cakes.

Put the same poll on the Rachel Maddow show, and I'm guessing the results would be strikingly different?....what-da-ya-think?

ron's picture

that there is a difference between CNN andd Fox. The only difference I see is there are different hosts repeating the same talking points.

Michelle's picture

During a June 2 segment on Fox News' Happening Now in which co-host Jon Scott asked if "the president's upcoming trip [to Europe and the Middle East will] be what conservatives might call another apology tour," both Scott and co-host Jane Skinner aired cropped clips of President Obama's remarks from an April 3 speech in Strasbourg, France, to falsely suggest that Obama only criticized the United States.

Captain Kangaroo's picture

First of all President Obama did NOT apologize for anything. I am more concerned that the President feels compelled that he has to travel throughout the world to repair relations with other countries because of what the Cheney/Bush administration destroyed in the eight years they were in power. No other President in our history has had to repair damage like the Cheney/Bush administration has wrought.

Fell free to leave your own comment there.

Poll:

Are you concerned that the Republicans have dug this country into such a deep shit hole that President Obama despite his best efforts may never be able to get us out?

1 - Yes
2 - No

mudshark's picture
Yes

I am concerned.
But, at least we have a person that is intelligent in the position now. That gives me some confidence. But, he's gotta helluva lot to fix.


What is your conceptual, continuity?

Bonkers's picture

and two more ways it could be even worse (and our recovery as a country pretty much rendered truly hopeless):
McCain. Palin.

Egad. Not that the repugs can aim straight unless they are just scattering buckshot at the target (I'm looking at you, Dick "Shooter" Cheney), but we still dodged a bullet there! (altso, too, you betcha)

I am concerned that the problems for which the current president must address to the world have not been resolved and the people who caused these problems haven't been held accountable for their misdeeds. When that happens, the world will need no more explanations as to why America does what it does...

His poll should read:
Are you concerned that we actually have a young black man as the president and a bunch of us old white (irrelevant) geezers are compelled to criticize him regardless of what he says or does??

Exactly!!


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

SJD's picture

of thousands of innocent Iraqis killed in a lie-based invasion...no apologies necessary for that or other criminal actions by the US in the Middle East, say the nutjobs.

Only responsible adults apologize for past mistakes. Spoiled brat bullies (the GOP) feel they don't owe the world shit for killing their citizens and other past mistakes.

Final poll:

Does Lou Dobbs most remind you of:

1 - Rush LImbaugh in a suit
2 - Every woman's ex-husband

... hum... wait a minute! Is she Dobbs alter ego?

Canada eagerly awaits USA apology for dragging us into bullshit Afghani corporate adventure. Our kids shouldnt be dying either for Neo Zionist Con bullshit and lies.I'll admit to once believing it was a noble cause, after 911 and all, till i awoke to the fact that 911 was total bullshit too. Meanwhile..... Chimp and Cheney are laughing at the lack of USA balls to challenge them and bring them to justice. They figure they are home free by now.

no longer a proud american's picture

could not agree with you more. both cheney and bush need to be put on trial and incarcerated if not worse for what they have done. Osama bin Laden is a lightweight compared to the damage those two perpetrated.

no longer a proud american's picture

because of the indiscretions and cowboy diplomacy of his Dobbs' pres
Obama has to do what is necesssay to right our position in the world. Dobbs is nothing but a tool.

Samson-'s picture

"apologize for the United States" is a tad bit different than apologizing for american foreign policy and economic policy.

this rightwing tactic--to portray any criticism of foreign/economic policy as an attack on god/mom/apple pie--has been used effectively for decades now. so, congrats dobbs, you have once again used your voice to muddle the debate.

this fat fuck poses as a straight talker, but he's as crooked as a dog's hind leg raised over a hydrant.

These people CANNOT stand the fact that our president doesn't go "over there" and act like an arrogant prick. Obama is doing everything that GWB could not do. Suck it Dobbs.

pinkobait's picture

Well yeah Lou,I am.
Like Obama doesn't have a tough enough job cleaning up the gigantic mess left by Bush on the domestic front without having to explain his incompetent and inhuman foreign policy blunders as well.Thanks for asking.


"To me, truth is not some vague, foggy notion. Truth is real. And,
at the same time, unreal. Fiction and fact and everything in between,
plus some things I can't remember, all rolled into one big "thing."
This is truth, to me. "

-Jack Handy

we'll be getting off easy. I fear that the US has made implacable enemies in many countries where governments may realize that a political party and its leaders are responsible for the country's good and evil, but the people may not know that. There are still many who blame the Holocaust on the German people for not rising up against Nazism and Hitler. We may suffer the same fate.

So if Obama is apologizing to the world for some of the evil that's been done in America's name, it's the least he can do.

I just went to the loudobbs.com website to vote on this poll and the current tally is:

Yes 45% 4181
No 55% 5117

So it has shifted significantly since this posted broadcast.

Okay, everyone take a break and go vote on Dobbs poll.

But do not fear, Lou is not diswaded. He will work tirelessly to ensure that many more Americans ARE concerned about Obama's alleged "apologies."

On The Radio: Friday
"President Barack Obama gave a much-ballyhooed speech yesterday in Cairo. And if you were hoping to hear our president once again apologize for this nation’s so-called sins… well, you weren’t disappointed."

"Diswaded"? Love it. Those tighty whiteys are all bunched up.

Some Americans seem to lost their ability to just enjoy a few moments of life. After eight years of hell they feel they must find something to bitch and moan about now. While the world welcomes this new attitude from the US, Dobbs and his ilk stay awake nights nit picking for something to bitch about. How about taking a deep breath and enjoying the fact that this president isn't going to embarrass the hell out of all of us when he goes to other countries. That's worth the price of admission to me.


Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.

I have been ashamed and embarrassed by my government for the better part of my life and I'm 60. It's about time someone apologized to the world for our reckless disregard for other countries and their people. We have supported the Shah of Iran , Somoza of Nicaragua, South African apartheid, Helped kill Allende of Chile and licked Pinochets murdering ass when he took over, the Junta's of Argentina and how many puppets did we put in power in Vietnam (my baileywick Marines67). I am glad Obama is apologizing , it's about time we tried to regain some moral highground. Our country will be more influential as a friend rather than an oppressor

Look, the problem is Lou Dobbs will never understand, because he is an old crank who still looks at the world as if it was nearly fifty years ago. That's one reason why he can never say anything good about President Obama. In Dobbs's mind, black people can never be in a real leadership position over whites. I'm suprised that his head didn't explode when Obama won the presidentcy.

no longer a proud american's picture

Dobbs is a racist. I've been on this planet longer than most and i fully recognize a racist for what he is. speaks like a racist, don't know what one looks like, smells like a racist, has the heart and mind of the heartland, must be a racist...

southernman748's picture

I am an old fart but not an old crank like Dobbs. I supported and voted for Obama. I was 10.. fifty years ago,and I saw the world as it was then and I didn't like it. Yes there are people my age who would like to go back to a time when everything was black and white and dobbs is one of them. I just want you to know we ain't all like that.I took my head out of my ass long before I took my brains out of my dick.

Lou Dobbs has way too much fun gloating over his push polls.

He's apologising for the dumb ass behavior of the Republican administrations. Poor Obama is playing the role of the embarrassed family member that is stuck with the job of apologising to the neighbors every time every time one of his idiot relatives is caught doing something stupid.

They are so blinded by American nationalism and exceptionalism, they think the ONLY reason people in the Middle east hate America is because they hate our freedoms.

But Americans will have to endure higher taxes to pay off the debt that BUSH ( and the BUSH family) dumped on America.
