10. He called Barack's plagerism a serious issue
and he thinks that he and Patrick should knock off referring to speeches made during World War II, as just words; he said those words have blood behind them. They're not just empty rhetoric.

He also said that Michelle needs to explain why she wasn't really proud of this country until her husband decided to run for president.

23. How nice,
Hillary's point was that words don't matter unless they're backed with action, which is exactly why Dobbs went after Obama and Patrick. Idiot.

27. It is absolutely NOT what Dobbs was saying at all. Wow, this election has come down to this.
Dirty games.

You can take your candidate and shove her and her campaign staffers "where the sun don't shine" if you catch my drift. I cannot even bring myself to hold my nose and vote for that women.


She is INCAPABLE of winning an election on the merits.

When was this? Everyone knows words can be important--when supported by concrete action
ALl the cited examples backed it up. Deval Patrick? Look at what "change" he brought as an average governor. Patrick/Obama=just words. MLK/Jefferson/JFK/FDR=great politicians whose words were backed up with action.

43. I saw it. I meant the misrepresentation of Hillary's remarks
She never said words don't matter. No one is that stupid. Words do matter if backed up with real action.

45. So you're a big Lou Dobbs fan now, are you? Nice.
I guess if Rush Limbaugh ever takes out after Senator Obama on his radio show we'll have a new crop of "Dittoheads" materialize in GD: P in the space of an afternoon....

that doesn't make me his apologist. If he lied and I rationalized it, then I'd be an apologist.

16. Lou isn't the only one picking up on this story.
From all the way Down Under, the story of stolen words can be found.

I haven't heard what MO said - will have to go check another site as anything potentially bad about Barry gets stifled here.

11. Dobbs was discussing the "plagerism" charges against Obama
Said that he was disgusted by Obama and Duvall's trivializing of the statements of Martin Luther King, Kennedy etc as just words when blood has been spilled in support of those words.

The BUFFOON completely misconstrued what Obama and Duvall were saying. It was CLINTON who tried to trivialize words used by great men in stating that words mean nothing.

It was a complete mischaracterization of what Obama said and given the viewership of Dobb's audience, it could be damaging!

He also went after Michelle Obama for something she said today. I have to be honest, I didn't catch that comment because I was on the phone regarding his first horrendous statement!

31. I didn't cite him
Seriously, one person does, and you think all Clinton supporters do?

The fact is, the notion that CNN is a pro-Clinton network is purely a right-wing fantasy. But I'm not surprised to see it repeated here. A lot of right-wing fantasy lies are posted here daily.

19. Lou has the temerity to tell the emperor that he has no clothes
He's going after Barack Obama for the seriousness of the plagiarism issue, and going after Michelle Obama for her amateur hour "this is the first time I've been really proud of my country" comment.

Thanks for the phone #, chief. I plan to drop him a note of support.

29. "Just win, baby"
This is what nauseates me about Obamanation the most; if you think THIS is the worst that politics has to offer, you would be in for one seriously rude fucking eye-opener if Obama makes to to the G.E.

I treat the likes of you with kid gloves, comparative to the how the far right of conservatism will treat you, son.
