The New Lou Dobbs Proposes Amnesty Plan for Illegal Immigrants. Say What?
By Susie Madrak Wednesday Nov 25, 2009 3:00pmTalk about extreme makeovers! No, I'm not making this up. It'll be a lot of fun to watch the right-wing exploding heads:
Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs, pondering a future in politics, is trying to wipe away his image as an enemy of Latino immigrants by positioning himself as a champion of that fast-growing ethnic bloc.
Mr. Dobbs, who left the network last week, has said in recent days that he is considering a third-party run for a New Jersey Senate seat in 2012, or possibly for president. Polls show voters unhappy with both parties, and strategists believe Mr. Dobbs could tap populist anger over economy issues just as Ross Perot did in the 1990s.
First, though, Mr. Dobbs is working to repair what a spokesman conceded is a glaring flaw: His reputation for antipathy toward Latino immigrants. In a little-noticed interview Friday, Mr. Dobbs told Spanish-language network Telemundo he now supports a plan to legalize millions of undocumented workers, a stance he long lambasted as an unfair "amnesty."
"Whatever you have thought of me in the past, I can tell you right now that I am one of your greatest friends and I mean for us to work together," he said in a live interview with Telemundo's Maria Celeste. "I hope that will begin with Maria and me and Telemundo and other media organizations and others in this national debate that we should turn into a solution rather than a continuing debate and factional contest."
Mr. Dobbs twice mentioned a possible legalization plan for the estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in the U.S., saying at one point that "we need the ability to legalize illegal immigrants under certain conditions."
Mr. Dobbs couldn't be reached Tuesday. Spokesman Bob Dilenschneider said Mr. Dobbs draws a distinction between illegal immigrants who have committed crimes since arriving in the U.S. and those who are "living upright, positive and constructive lives" who should be "integrated" into society. He said Mr. Dobbs recognizes the political importance of Latinos and is "smoothing the water and clearing the air."
Boy, some political consultants are really going to earn their pay on this one!

What a complete douchebag.
Like these same people are going to instantly forget what he has been railing about for years.
I am almost at a loss for words.
Lou, go home and STFU, you have no possible chance at getting elected for anything except asshole of the year.
HYPROCRISY: DOBBS.
Look up the definition of the word "PENDEJO".
Mr. Dobbs:
I have a feeling you're going to be hearing that word an awful lot in the future.
Here's another word you're going to be hearing....
"IDIOTA"

R E M E M B E R:
Mexicans give you Leprosy...
... Well that's what Lou said so it must be the truth, YES
.
and whatever else in the running. Which Bush will emerge?
.most likely the moronic one on Entertainment Tonight (see I qualified it ) ...Hah!
MMmmmmm... actually it could happen ...
Uh huh.
And George W. Bush criticized President Obama for not ending the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, arguing that we were not attacked by those nations and that democracy cannot be brought to the Middle East.
And Sara Palin said the best thing we can do for our country is raise taxes to pay down our debt, set up a universal health care system, and educate our children in the science of evolution.
And John McCain said that we have already succeeded and exited Iraq.
Oh wait. That last one is true.
'shop,' eh Lou? Gotta do something I guess.
around the house to kick around.
I guess Louie Dobbs doesn't know that are such places as C&L,and youtube that have pile's of clips from his past bigoted rants.
He's a changed man now. The public loves a guy who repents. "I was wrong, but I'm on your side now." (Wild Cheers)
It's sad that Lou is such a cranky old fart, he keeps forgetting about the invention of video tape. When he's shown video of his racist broadcasts that were on night after night, he probably sits there and thinks "that guy looks familiar, where have I seen him before". He farts, he burps and yells at the TV, "Honey get me another Blatz, will ya"? His in-laws come over and and he calls ICE. Alzheimer's is tough isn't it Lou"?
git me anoter beer.
"pondering a future in politics"
pondering?
lou has been engaged in politics for years and years. from defending obscene ceo compensation, to blaming the nation's ills (at times literally) on illegal immigrants, lou was never a journalist, he attempted to be a political kingmaker. and, now with this about face/hypocrisy, lou is attempting to give the nation a collective full-frontal lobotomy and distance himself from, well, himself.
must believe Hispanics have really short memories. Who does he expect to fall for such blatant bullsh*t?
I guess that everybody must have missed the humor--Lou was just being sarcastic here. Just kidding---right?
Doubtful. Sounds like the onset of senility and dementia to me.
I'd rather be caught red-handed with a male prostitute than give a vote to Lou Dobbs.
Louuuuuu is going to have to work for a few years in the direction he is talking to gain ANY credibility for his new found awakening. He spent years bitching and moaning and working against illegal immigrants trying to make a better life for themselves. He is going to have to spend a few years working to get these contributors to our society legalized to prove to me he is not full of shit and a liar. Sorry Louuuuuuuu, runnig for the Senate next year is not going to work.
Well well , looks like Lou is suddenly born again , he's going into politician mode now . I used to laugh at my folks years ago talking about the good old days when life , people and things were " normal " , now that I am pushing sixty I understand completely and am not laughing anymore . We've made progress in some areas but on the whole , as a country and as a people we have gone ass backwards and regressed to I don't know what . I would not want to be young and facing the future , the way it's going I'll be grateful to be checking out ... when I finally do .
Lou, there's a old saying. You can paint a turd gold but it's still a turd. You my friend are a turd.
you should all realize Lou Dobbs will do the exact opposie once elected. He has a very long track record of hating illegal immigrants, and that kind of hate does not go away in a person.
and tell him what you think of his election ideas
Lou comes up with the genius idea of appealing to people who don't watch his show. He guesses that if they don't watch his show they don't know what he's said before. Lou, ya Pinhead, the reason they don't watch your show is because they KNOW what you've said, so they don't watch, get it? At least before this, they looked at you like you're a racist idiot. Now they look at you as a LYING RACIST IDIOT. Lou, is this sinking in ?
