Is it time for a NATIONAL BOYCOTT of Lou Dobbs?
Lou Dobbs is the biggest arrogant prick on television.
We need to start a national level boycott of Lou "everything is absurd" Dobbs.

It is time we get his face out of our homes forever!

He makes me scream at my TV!

7. Yep, what Frenchie said.
.... I realize Tweet can be annoying at times, but WHY are folks watching Lou Dobbs and not WHATEVER is on MSNBC at the same time?

Heck ........ I know a lot of local stations run Wheel of Fortune at this time, watch that.

16. My mother had the remote and up popped evil Lou
He was saying how much he liked and respected "Joe the Plumber."

Guess he didn't get the Memo on Old Joey yet.

40. Me, too
And when he turns up on any other show, I immediately cut it off.

He is a disgrace and CNN should be ashamed of themselves from giving this modern-day Howard Beale any kind of platform.

he used to be semi-rational
but then when he started going on and on about immigration a few years back i stopped watching... there for a while i thought he was gonna be a real fighter for the middle class... ope, the joke was on me...

i occasionally tune it in to see what hes up too, and from what i can tell he just sounds like any right winger with a microphone

9. Lou Dobb hates Latinos and other brown immigrants.
He never complains about white-skinned Europeans coming to America.

26. Asshat Of The Year Award.
He should be voted by unanimous consent and the award then retired because nobody can possibly equal his asshattedness.

29. Yep. It's always time for a national boycott of Lou Dobbs.
It is also always time for an international boycott of Lou Dobbs!

Or a state or county-wide boycott of Lou Dobbs.

Or a global boycott of Lou Dobbs!

38. "independent" my ass. He is no independent, he is a right wing shill.
And kind of boring as well. Never watch him, but I don't have MSNBC either (cable company took it away) so I watch Extra instead (lol), celebrities are more fun at 7:00pm. By the way, Madonna is getting a divorce.

at some right wing wacko convention a month or two ago.

41. Yes, Lou's OUT THERE ...
operating without any decent restraint, totally beyond the pale of any acceptable human conduct.

IMO, Lou Dobbs has gone fully BAT SHIT INSANE. :crazy:

44. Lou Dobbs is just a younger McShame with more brains
"Independent" just tries to convey a picture that is a little steadier than "Maverick".
He's super easy to skip with extreme prejudice.

47. I haven't watched him for years.
There was a time when I thought he made a little sense on some issues, like the outsourcing of our jobs. But he's way off on most of his analysis and obviously out there in the right field. I agree that he's got a right to have his show and voice his opinion but it's frustrating that there are so many righties on TV and so few liberals.
