More Leftist Violence: Shot Fired at CNN's Lou Dobbs Home, Wife Photo of Jeff Poor. By Jeff Poor (Bio | Archive) October 29, 2009 - 02:50 ET 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 in 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. "And, as I told the state patrol, and by the way, the New Jersey State Patrol is absolutely terrific - they responded instantly. But this shot was fired with my wife not, I don't know, 15 feet away and we had threatening phone calls that I decided not to report because I get threatening phone calls," Dobbs continued. "I now - it's become a way of life - the anger, the hate, the vitriol, but it's taken a different tone where they've threatened my wife. They've now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car. It's become something else." The CNN host later took a shot at the "national liberal media," which he claims has taken a side on the immigration issue and has created this sort of reckless environment. "But we've got to start being honest," Dobbs said. "Instead, the national liberal media has chosen sides and they've decided that they're going to focus on the liberal view, which is that they will embrace illegal immigration - no matter who is harmed, no matter how many laws are broken or how few consequences there are for breaking those laws." Dobbs had been attacked by Fox News host Geraldo Rivera earlier and told his listeners that following these events that he was in no mood for attacks from Rivera. "My wife has now been, and I have been, shot at, our driver," Dobbs said. "My house has been shot and hit. An investigation continues. I've had bodyguards now and you know what, I'm not in the mood to put up with little fools like Geraldo Rivera." http://newsbusters.org/blogs/jeff-poor/2009/10/29/cnns-lou-dobbs-claims-shots-fired-home-wife
This is the typical leftist response. You cannot intelligently debate the topic, so you attack the messenger.
whats to debate. there is no proof it was a leftist that shot at his house. could just as easily been a conservative pissed at cnn. how about letting us know who you used to be. no use going over old ground again.
i suppose next you will try to tell me that these are leftists? Obama Faces 30 Death Threats A Day: Book Since Mr Obama took office, the rate of threats against the president has increased 400 per cent from the 3,000 a year or so under President George W. Bush, according to Ronald Kessler, author of In the President's Secret Service. Some threats to Mr Obama, whose Secret Service codename is Renegade, have been publicised, including an alleged plot by white supremacists in Tennessee late last year to rob a gun store, shoot 88 black people, decapitate another 14 and then assassinate the first black president in American history. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...reats-a-day-stretching-US-Secret-Service.html
Some of these threats are crack pots. 30 a day would be over 10,000 a year. That is a sizable number.
when you have fox news and right wing blogger conspiricy nuts stroking these crackpots daily you have to check them out. one might act.
Lou can't catch a break. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-s...lou-dobbs-responsible-anti-hispanic-sentiment
i always thought the internet was the greatest invention ever and a great source of education and truth. it has not turned out that way. in many ways it has just given the crakpots a louder voice and helped spread ignorance. http://www.cnn.com/2009/POLITICS/10/07/avlon.civility/
