Lou Dobbs Jumps the Shark: Attacks Dr. Suess' The Lorax as 'Indoctrinating' Children
Lou Dobbs regularly looked like he'd come close to losing his mind when he was still raging on about illegal immigrants day after day on CNN. It appears he's well past that point now with this bit of insanity from his show on the Fox Business Channel from this Tuesday.
Not that it should be a big surprise after we've had their sister channel, Fox "News" attacking the Muppets and Sesame Street.
From Media Matters -- More "Indoctrination" Paranoia: Fox Attacks Dr. Seuss' The Lorax:
The Muppets. SpongeBob SquarePants. Dr. Seuss.
Beloved icons of childhood entertainment in America, or subtle forms of anti-business indoctrination that brainwash your kids into hating capitalism?
Thank goodness we have Fox to ask these questions.
Lou Dobbs sounded the alarm again tonight on his Fox Business show:
DOBBS: Now, an "Unmentionable" -- a story you won't hear anywhere in the liberal national media, or nearly all of the national liberal media. Hollywood is once again trying to indoctrinate our children. Two new films out this year, plainly with an agenda, plainly demonizing the so-called "1 percent" and espousing the virtue of green-energy policies, come what may.
The first, Dobbs said, is an animated film called The Secret World of Arrietty, and the second is Universal Pictures' computer-animated version of the 1971 Dr. Seuss classic The Lorax. Read on...
Lou Dobbs is a true piece of shit. These people are a cancer upon humanity. I am not a violent person, but "Mr." Dobbs could use a damn good thrashing.
...scared lou as a small-minded child, you know, yesterday.
Mickey: "It was an epiphany. Do you know what an epipany is?"
Keoni: "NOT NOW MICKEY!"
last weekend. He understood the meaning of 'the boy who cried wolf'.
'Henny Penny' is the operating format for Fox News. A parade of 'Chicken Little' commentators.
I think a lot of conservatives missed a few good fairy tales as toddlers.
But when they are taught to believe in 'noah's ark' and the 'garden of eden'... well, how can you top that for a fairy tale? everything else just lacks that much imagination and drama.
Wall Street is just a parasite on the actual labor and investments of average Americans.
Banks play with futures, debt paper, complex financial instruments, and other peoples incomes.
Sell 'em short & help 'em crash - Tear 'em apart & sell the pieces
..to worry:
Lou Dobbs was on The Daily Show last week; Jon Stewart was provided the opportunity to prove to America that Lou Dobbs is just a good ole boy who likes to stir the shit every now & then.
So nothing to worry about here.
When Fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in excess body fat & carrying a misspelled sign.
Some one should explain to Lou that The Lorax is a children's book written to teach adults.
Say what you mean. Mean what you say. But don't say it mean.
Religion is all about indoctrination. Lou's probably ok with that kind of inculcation.
Lou's pissed because no one thinks cramming into people, especially children, what Lou Dobbs thinks is great is such a good idea. If children's books and movies and teevee shows taught kids shit Lou Dobbs believes in, he'd bitch inappropriately about something or someone else.
me-oww!
considering the title character is portrayed by John Bolton.
Dobbs, did you just recently have another stroke?
Also, the media is not "liberal", but he can continue beating that old drum if he so pleases. After all, he's just a commentator making far more money than any actual journalist could hope to make. Key word is "making", since he doesn't actually "earn" the money he gets.
Those two films, of all films, have an agenda eh? I guess all films have an agenda then. Yet you don't hear Dobbs bringing up the Gingrich-funded Al-Gore swipe job that is "An Inconsistent Truth."
Brought to you by the brain trust that indignantly complained that the Teletubbies were gay and that Sesame Street promotes socialism.
But perhaps conservative pundits know what they're talking about ... since most of them are mindless puppets and cartoonish caricatures.
