Lou Dobbs Radio Show To Debut Monday

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Lou Dobbs will be joining the talk radio business starting Monday:

Dobbs' show, produced by United Stations Radio Networks, will debut Monday. Dubbed "The Lou Dobbs Show," the three-hour program will air live via satellite at noon PT weekdays on CRN-4.


Dobbs, anchor and managing editor of CNN's "Lou Dobbs Tonight," plans to examine issues from the point of view of an independent pluralist.

The New York Observer reported the news of Dobbs' leap to radio in December. THR reports that Dobbs has never hosted a radio show before, but if he gets anything similar to Glenn Beck's whopper $50 million radio contract, it's easy to understand why he's entering the medium now.

I would imagine leftists are greatly concerned that someone pointing out the hostility of the lefto-neocon establishment toward American workers is getting more media exposure.

You rock Lou! keep it up and don't let the mentally disordered socialists get you down. Ok gotta run get some new papeles... ICE is on my aaaaassss...

Thank you America for the free medical care, education for 6 anchor babies, welfare, and prison stays (I have little DUI problem). But this only means one day-when we have enough migrants (most of la madre Mexico)-we will change your laws and Pedro too can be elected el Presidente de los Estados Unidos! Viva Mexico! Viva la raza! Viva Obama!

Geraldo Rivera and I usually don't find ourselves on the same side of the political aisle, but I found myself cheering him on when he appeared on one of the morning shows to promote his new book when he referred to Lou Dobbs as a guy who had rescued his failing career on the backs of undocumented workers. From where I sit, CNN has given Dobbs 5 hours of television time each week to engage in hatespeech. Now he's getting a radio show as well? I guess there weren't already enough asses on talk radio?

His failing Career? and this comes from the guy who tried to save his with Al Copones Secret Vaults.

If you listen to the show, you would know that illgeal immigrantion is not his only issue.. but is part of the attack on the American middle Class which is his main issue/cause.

They are not undocumented workers. They are illegal workers. They have plenty of Documents, forged and stolen.


You guys seem to want to ban the words legal and illegal as if they were 4 letter words. If you cant address the problem with the real terms that apply, then the problem is in your court.

I'd like to ask you just exactly how many illegal aliens do you think we should allow into the country? Please give me your idea and include Asia, Africa, Eastern Europe, South and Central America?

"I also reserve the right to not have to listen to the same story of outrage, without accompanying practical solution,"




He has many times. Fine and jail the business owners. Then make them pay wages that Americans can live on.

That quote seems familiar... LOL

I agree; fine and jail the business owners, if you can catch them. Then compel them to pay living wages to citizens and legals, (after they get out of jail, I guess, and resume business selling their products at now uncompetitive prices). Why are they unable to compete? Because their competitors haven't been caught & probably never will be. Maybe a huge meatpackiing company will be nailed now & then, but if you think of all the landscapers, housing construction companies, parents needing childcare, etc. you know this is impractical.

Chalk it up to unfettered capitalism, perhaps, which allowed, maybe even encouraged the hiring of low paid illegals in the first place, but that doesn't matter now. Maybe you or Lou can see a solution beyond the demigogery, but I'd be more willing to listen if I was sure the individual proposing it was clean of heart (i.e., benefitted not at all from the fruits of illegal enterprise) nor had any ulterior motive for his rants.

Just when we thought we had heard enough rubbish from this puffy-cheeked racist on TV, he gets more air time, this time on radio!!! Dobbs is a disgrace. He is a race-baiting fear monger.

Meah,
Have you ever actually listen to his show?


He is fiercly proud that the US let in over 2 million LEGAL immigrants from all over the world.

Yet, since he actually thinks people who swore to uhold the consitution should do so when in office.

If you see no diffrence b.w a Legal and Illgeal immigrant, to me, your part of the problem.

Lou is a champion to this life long Democrat, I seldom disagree with him and the Democratic Party should take him more seriously.

It is so ironic that Dobbs favors Clinton over Obama and yet the latinos are voting massively for her.

NO it isn't ironic Lou Dobbs can differ with you on specifics (illegal immigration) but still back HILLARY'S TRUE JUDGEMENT AND EXPERIENCE VERSUS Obama's CON!

Isn't there already enough intolerance on the radio?

    Favorite    Flag as abusive Posted 11:16 AM on 02/29/2008

Apparently not. I couldn't believe the irresponsible and unwarranted rants that Dobbs was addressing at Obama supporters earlier this week. I wondered why he'd become such a pompous, hate-filled windbag?

Now I know. He thinks he can be the next Limbaugh (only packaging himself as an "independent" who is "fighting for the middle class").

It's just more half-truths, outright lies, and misinformation delivered with a strident, emphatic style of the typical right wing blowhards (O'Reilly, Limbaugh, et al). Old wine, new bottle.

IncredulousGeezer,

See in order for you to think Dobbs is bashing "Immigrants" you'd have to actually seperate Legal from Illegal. Something he does better then the govt at present.

To put in perspective, the over 2 million we let in legally last year=wonderful example of America

Letting 12-20 million in since 1986, then 'demanding" rights you dont have= example of pandering and serf like working conditions, doesnt make me proud, not sure about you.


A white talk show host, willing to question why there is a double digit unemployment in the black community, yet we "import" millions who will work for less.


Could Lou do a far better job of offering solution to the issues he covers? Absolutley..

But so could nearly every elected official in the nation...

I'm not proud of the situation, but getting red in the face on air while accepting the labors of these poor unfortunate (illegal, I suspect) folks to guild the well-being of your high living family smacks of hypocrisy. I refer to the info floating around about the identity of the muckers at his daus riding academy.
I also reserve the right to not have to listen to the same story of outrage, without accompanying practical solution, beyond the 1000 times I've already heard it.

So if your comfortable taking the "rumor" as fact, why not go find out for yourself?


If he's hiring a illegal, he should be jailed.

If not, I'd sue you (then give money to a military charity) for slander and liebel..

You know how all the racist white guys marry mexicans, guess you dont like to address that rumor huh?LOL


The "practice solution" is to enforce laws already on the books...

Unless he owns his half Hispanic Daughters riding academy, then he is not hring the illegals if any are working there. Wal-Mart hires illegals.. do you shop there or do you ever eat out?

You are holding him to a standard thats not very realistic.

Funny they never mention his Hispanic wife or his kids or his inlaws.. sorta buts a damper on the racist talk!

I wish Mr. Dobbs all the best. No one can be right all the time but we can always speak our truth to power and he does.

Only Dobbs often "speaks half-truth (or outright lies) to power"--and does so mostly to inflame his listeners/viewers.

His outrage is misguided.

Yes, his outrage at a goverment thats done nothing but make itself rich is "lies" and "misguided"

Do you mean Half truths like when you dont differentiate between Legal and Illegal immigration in your coments? Must be done to mislead. Hard to say you support Illegal Immigration.. does it get stuck in your throat?

Go get um Lou, as he's one of the few people willing to speak truth to power and think outside of partisan idelogy.

I do find it odd that while many posts on here will decry him as a "racist" I see the wonderful cultures that make America great represented in greater numbers on Dobbs show then most.

For examle, as someone who listens to all points of view in order to decide for myself I find it hysterical when I turn on Keith Olberman at MSNBC and he sits there with 5 white guys calling people racist. Then I turn on Dobbs and see Female African-American professors, hispanic-American radio hosts, women as a sub-hosts when he's on vacation, etc..


One time he called a white guy "amen brotha" then the next week said it to a black guy too, oh the humanity...

Most of America seems to now value the "clinton diversity model" which preech diversity, then get your lear jet back to the whitest suburb you can find and from the top of the Hill claim everyone who doesnt agree lock, stock and barell as a "xenophobe".






Would I prefer to see Dobbs at time offer solutions to our problems and not merly harp on them? Sure.

.....if, unlike O'Reily......he allows callers to talk...it should be interesting. Of course, O'Reily's show is nothing like a talk-show...but he pulls the plug on people ...if they don't have his "pea Brained point of view" Let's hope that Lou Dobbs lets people have their say.....within common sense.
