Lou Dobbs discusses physical attacks, harassment
But of course, these attacks don’t count in the eyes of the open-borders mob too busy trying to shut down the speech of illegal immigration critics. Via Jeff Poor:
Recently a lot of hubbub had been made about the possibility that the peaceful tea party protests and some conservative voices would stir up emotions that could lead to violence. Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi was even one of those sounding that alarm.
But what has gone unsaid by those same voices has been the possibility of violence against those who might take a position antithetical to that of the left.
Case and point: CNN’s Lou Dobbs. Dobbs, who has been the target of a smear campaign by the left-wing noise machine, told his radio audience on Oct. 26 that his home had been shot at three weeks earlier.
“But I want to tell you, when you talk about what they’ve done – they’ve created an atmosphere and they’ve been unrelenting in their propaganda,” Dobbs said. “Three weeks ago this morning, a shot was fired at my house where I live. My wife was standing out and that followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls.”
Dobbs detailed the event, the notification of law enforcement and threatening phone calls he had received after the fact.

Mr. Dobbs has been such a great voice on this issue. My prayers for the safety of him and his family.
According to the DHS, it was probably an ex-military right winger.

I think Obama likes Lincoln because he expects to start a civil war.
Be careful Lou!
The right of self-defense is never denied in the Rules of Engagement.
The Second Amendment was written to support the First Amendment.
I disagree. He missed. Had to have been a Progressive.
Carry on.
Why are Hispanics so xenophobic?
Typically, one of the first accusations made by Hispanic rights advocates is that Americans are xenophobic.
Obviously a nationwide reaction strong enough to stop a stubborn Congress cold doesn’t speak to fear among the citizenry much. Outrage or righteous indignation maybe, fear? No.
Rights groups have tried to make assimilation into a dirty word and we have lobbying and massive amounts of video to prove of how much Hispanics feel threatened by any effort to encourage the least bit of adjusting to life here. Our national anthem was morphed into a stylized Spanish version, talk about being afraid of anything new.
When in Rome do as the Romans do and when in the USA do as we do, only sensible really since we are the greatest Nation in history and who in their right mind would want to change that?
So what’s to be afraid of anyway? Our American culture? Traditions? Opportunities? Freedoms? How much does it really take to fit in?
Some desire maybe?
For two hundred and thirty one years, virtually every nationality has accepted the USA as a wonderful opportunity to join us and succeed; Modern day Hispanics can also, no differently than all the rest. Bring your love and pride for the US with you, it’s a requirement.
Come on, don’t be so…xenophobic.
may he be safe and the perps caught and put away….
I am Hispnaic, but I prefer to call myself an AMERICAN…. I a Naturalized United States citizen…an AMERICAN. The only “Why are Hispanics so xenophobic?” are the leftist Hispanics…or like Soledad O’Brien calls “Latinos in America”.
I call myself an AMERICAN not a Hispanic. I am proud of this country, please don’t mix me with the hypocrite liberal “latinos”.

Semper Fi!
Come on Lou, it’s almost Halloween anyway. You have to accept some frustration. After all, you are an unrepentant right wing whack job. If they didn’t hit your wife then no harm done. It’s all good.
……almost forgot…
We U.S. Marines will be celebrating the 234th birthday of the United States Marine Corps.
Over 200 years, Marine uniforms come in just one size….PROUD!!!!
OOOORRRRAAGH!

You’re damn right.
We must be related…we’re both Americans.
Team America: “America! F#$K yeah!”

I would hope that people know the difference between someone who is proud of their heritage and celebrates it (St. Patty’s Day, Columbus Day and for women, Chocolate Day which was yesterday) and people who refuse to assimilate and live in the US to take. They take jobs, they take food stamps, they take advantage of lax laws allowing them to drive without licenses or insurance and most of all, take advantage of the right to free speech to advocate the overthrow of this government and to convert the US into a Muslim state. When I see Hispanic men waiting to work by the Home Depot, I respect them because they are trying to earn a living and aren’t waiting with their hands out and refusing to work. Yes, I’d like to see a system in place that would let these men be “legal” and yes, I think there are corporations and corporate farmers that take advantage of these people and these companies and people should be punished. Still, most of these people are not members of La Raza and don’t want to ruin this country. They are simply men who are trying to do what good men always try to do and that’s taking care of their families.
Here is an interesting fact. On a per capita basis, Hispanic Americans have won more medals for valor than any other ethnic group.
Dear Lou, you and your wife should get a CCW license and adequate home security (firepower). Remember, when seconds count, a cop is only minutes away!
More on immigration…. Most of the illegals (assumption) I have met are great people, just the kind we need in America. From a Darwinian point of view they are the courageous survivors who are willing to do whatever it takes to make a positive difference for their families. The loser peers they left behind become servants of the drug lords (hyperbole). I believe also that beyond a certain statute of limitations it is difficult to defend deportation, especially with people teenaged or older who have known nothing but America.
It is the role of the US Government to enforce the law of the land. If they need to pay the States to do it then fine. But it is not being done because the entire government system is infested with “progressive” bureaucrats who ignore laws and regulations they disagree with, becoming self-appointed defacto legislators.
This is why I am pessimistic about the future. The system is so corrupted that it may never be possible to fix it. (See the Fox opinion piece on the “Mexicanization” of our agencies in the border areas.) The main issue is not just police corruption but the tacit support for open borders and active circumvention of the law by government employees.
Do not mess with a Leatherneck unless you want a trip to the hurt locker.
Pixel_Dust_1776, jwm,granite, et al,
I agree 100%. I want to know who is coming into the country and keep out criminals. I want assimilation of American culture and values. I want legal immigration. The same way my forefathers arrived here from Ireland.
I also admire those willing to work. I admire family values. I enjoy many aspects of Hispanic culture and do not want them to disappear, just blended with the others in our great melting pot society. (And why shouldn’t American children learn Spanish- not to replace English but to give them a broader, richer education.)
These are NOT competing interests, they can have convergence. I do not fear hispanics, I welcome them, legally.
Semper Fi brothers and sisters. Evening dress is prepped and ready to party.
I’m not surprised. Dobbs is proof you don’t have to be a card-carrying conservative to be in the crosshairs of the crazy left. All you have to do is publicly take a dissenting stand on even one issue.
i see the party of free speech and tolerance once again shows it tolerates only socialist speech. gimme, gimme, gimme, and i hate america because it has been so terrible to me. i’m a good person, so you rich people need to take care of me and my chillen forever. i won’t invest one drop of sweat in my own future, but you successful rich folks have to gimme a house, food, healthcare, money to buy my liquor and cigs, and a car.
Following the links back to Nancy Pelosi’s comments, she was non-specific and was broad in saying, to everyone, left and right and middle, to be cautious in what you (global) were saying.
Pelosi’s words -
“I think we all have to take responsibility for our actions and our words. We are a free country and this balance between freedom and safety is one that we have to carefully balance.”
“I wish that we all again would curb our enthusiasm in some of the statements that are made, with the understanding that some of the ears this is falling on are not as balanced as the person making the statement might assume,”
“But I also think they have to take responsibility for any incitement they may cause.”
It would be intellectually dishonest to think that her words do not apply to the right, left and middle.
Besides, was she aware that Dobbs and his family had this terrible experience?
I suspect that later in the news cycle references will be made about the incident and many will opine. And, should she be asked, Pelosi will comment, as well.
Obviously Lou looks like an abortion doctor and some Christian was trying to kill him.
/sarc (don’t often use that tag but want to be clear…)
wrong is right and right is wrong, welcome to chaos! Lou needs to be packin! You are gonna see more and more of this violence from the left, but it perfectly acceptable and condoned by them. Are you ready to defend yourselves?
I think the similarities between Lincoln and Obama pretty much begin and end with the pursuit of imperial power and destroying the rule of law. Beyond that, the differences are rather numerous.
In many ways we can count our lucky stars that Obama hasn’t hatched a “national crisis” scheme in order to suspend habeas corpus, and has dictated that anyone who speaks out against his policies as “treason” like Lincoln did. If we truly had a “Lincoln-like” president in the form of Obama, we’d have a FAR more devious and monstrous president than Obama could ever hope to be.
Lincoln miscalculated in his dealings with the seceded states, and he did MUCH to exacerbate the issue, and even pushed states like Texas and Virginia to join the Confederacy (Maryland, and Missouri were on the verge of joining, but for the fact that Lincoln had many in their state legislatures arrested without cause).
In some ways Lincoln was every much the incompetent buffoon that Obama is in the way he made a difficult situation into a national disaster. Obama’s policies will destroy our economy, will continue to treat those who create wealth and productivity as enemies of the state, and I have no doubt that a “crisis” is down the road–in order to seize total power. And, just as Lincoln did, Obama will miscalculate his plans.
60’s racial radicals unrest all over again. Mark my word, we are heading for another round of it before the end of this administration.
Liberals is not an exact definition.
Socialist Totalitarians is term used by a former Israeli Army officer. That explains why her Highness Countess Napolitano has yet to name a single left wing radical. Perhaps, after hell assumes room temperature.

“Remember, if you think they’re onto us, give us the signal. You do remember the signal?…”
Blah, blah, blah, blah,….
Pay attention to the actions of the dangerous socialists/statists/collectivists/anti-American opposite-worldview holders.
Their words are at best meaningless and worthless; and likely are nothing more than distraction and deception, confusion and diversion.
Someone posted an audio copy of his comments about the incident on YT:

One thing you can say for the liberals, they are not against eating their own.If you don’t follow the party line you’re dead.
Is Lou Dobbs an abortionist?
Was he or his family located at an abortuary, or was Lou Dobbs home an abortuary when the attacks, and harassing, threatening phone calls against Lou Dobbs and his family took place?
Had an “abortion doctor,” AKA an “Abortionist,” AKA one who butchers babies, killing them, been undergoing this treatment, it would be heralded everywhere as a cause celeb, with the “poor” “Doctor”" suffering abuse, harassment, and the vile, malevolent assault of those mean spirited, hate filled, violent “Pro-lifers,” or, as the leftists and induced abortion proponents call them “anti-choicers.”
Was Lout Dobbs a Muslim, or was he located at a Muslim Mosque, or is his home a Muslim Mosque, or was he entertaining Muslims at his home at the time of the attacks?
Had Lou Dobbs been associated with Islam, the media would be posting large print, top of the page, above the fold headlines about the horrific Islamophobia and violence and xenophobia against the “Religion of Peace, Love, Compassion, and Understanding.” This would be done EVEN if the story were false and even if the “alleged” attack were fabricated, a lie, made up out of hole clothe, as has happened.
Is Lou Dobbs or anyone in his home a Homosexual, Lesbian, Transsexual, Transgendered, or Transvestite person?
Even if it were a lie, a fabrication, just the hint of, or slightest accusation of homophobic violence, even without substance, would have garnered national attention.
Is Lou Dobbs or his family a black man or black family?
Is Lou Dobbs or his family Arab?
Is Lou Dobbs or his family Hispanic?
Even false accusations of “racism” would have earned vociferous news coverage painting the “attackers” as vicious haters, racists, and bigots, even without substance, and even if the story were a lie!
Is Lou Dobbs (or his family) a radical, man hating-man castrating and feminizing feminist?
Even in a false story or fabricated story, the media would paint the story about the evil misogynists who hate “strong” women and want to force women to get pregnant and have babies against their will, and keep women as men’s slaves, barefoot and pregnant, cleaning the house, caring for the children, and supporting her husband, the “head of the household.”
Is Lou Dobbs a Socialist, Communist, Maoist, Marxist, or Fascist?
Is Lou Dobbs a leftist or Fifth Columnist?
Then the accused would be dragged through the mud with broken glass and nails in it, for not being “open minded,” for not being “progressive,” and for being against “Progress” and such.
If the answer to any or all of the aforementioned question is a resounding “No!” then that explains why no one cares.
When a person or group is attacked, even if that attacks is violent, hate and race filled, and injured or kills the person, or damages property, it does not matter unless the victim is a member of any of the aforementioned groups, or is one of those groups, again, even if the entire attacks is a lie, a fabrication.
So, Lou Dobbs, victim of hate filled, violent, possibly racist attacks doesn’t matter because he is not a member of one of those “Preferred” groups of victicrats or organizations.
The White Man is the Devil (Just ask folks like Louis Farahkan and the Nation of Islam) and any assault or attack against him is justified obligatory (as per racist leftists and members of the “Klan with the Tan.”).
Nothing to see here.
Move along.
I am opposed to open borders. I believe illegal aliens should be rounded up and sent home. I believe sick illegal aliens should be treated and sent home when they recover with a bill to their government for the cost of that treatment. The only problem I have with the “day laborers” waiting outside Home Depot for work is that most of them are here illegally. If they were legal immigrants, I wouldn’t have a problem with them at all.
Now that I have openly declared myself, I feel that it is only fair that I advise those who take umbrage at my comments that I and my family are armed, well-trained, well-practiced, and willing to use deadly force to protect ourselves.
Questions?

Special Keith Olbermann should be held responsible for ever attack upon Dobbs and every other conservative. He and Rachel Madcow are leading the verbal attacks and inciting the physical ones.
*I’m right there with Lou; I am a naturalized citizen and welcome anyone who comes through the front door; As for the others and those that enable them, I can offer nothing but contempt and scorn, as they will surely destroy this country if it were to go the route that the advocacy pimps for illegal alien amnesty wish to take it.
*Slightly OT, but I believe Lou Dobbs will be showing up on the Fox Business Network shortly with his own show; Just watch, as CNN throws him under the bus.

At an anti-amnesty rally in Tucson, Arizona several years ago quite a few of our people’s tires were slashed. The hotel security saw the perps (all proper little white boys) and chased them away. From now on I hope to have our people guard the vehicles–we do not chase.
But the message is clear-they will be violent and we will be responsible. Works for Domestic Terrorist (capital D capital T

Phone calls can be traced how about somebody gets arrested? At least questioned?
