Years ago, I used to like Lou Dobbs. He was the only one reporting on electronic voting machines, outsourcing America, and the shrinking of the middle class. To me, he seems to have gone off the deep end lately, especially with the birther thing. I don't know if he's getting senile or what, but to me he's not the same guy anymore and he probably shouldn't be on CNN. But, I have to say, on certain issues there was no one better. Overall, I liked him, but lately he's going off the deep end on certain crazy issues. Now, if he shows up on FOX "news", I'll have to totally revise what I think of him.
Patriot Guard Riders
The antigay Westboro Baptist Church of Topeka, Kan., routinely disrupts military funerals, holding bright-colored signs that read "God Hates Fags" and "God Hates America." The presence of the Patriot Guard, however, seems to deter such intrusions.
Everyone needs to listen to this!!! Winter Soldier Day 3: Racism and War: Dehumanization of the Enemy Part I, young Iraq War vets testify, corporate-owned media NEVER covers it, Iraq Veterans Against the War - IVAW
March 15, 2008, Dedicated entirely to veteran testimony, this panel covered mishandling and mutilation of the dead, torture, abuse and derogatory treatment of civilians: Scott Ewing was an Army scout in Tel Afar from 2005 to 2006.
