Lou Dobbs Mocked In Commercial For Hispanic Film "Under The Same Moon"

The Huffington Post has obtained a new commercial for the Fox Searchlight/Weinstein picture, "Under the Same Moon (La Misma Luna)," a Spanish language film that debuted last week to a box office record.

The commercial, which will premiere tomorrow, features several digs at CNN's anti-immigrant crusader Lou Dobbs, such as, "TIME Magazine raves that 'Adrian Alonso could melt Lou Dobbs' heart, if he had one.'"

Watch the commercial below:

In an ironic twist, the commercial is set to air on CNN tomorrow in Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, San Francisco, and Washington, D.C.

Progressives should absolutely mock racists like Lou Dobbs, until racism becomes a relic of a horrible past...

[carlgt1]

well I consider myself liberal and think illegal immigration is appalling. My home town in PA now has 30% illegals and social services are stressed out. I don't understand how one ethnic group can consistently encourage this; you don't see Irish-Americans covering up & encouraging illegal immigration for the Irish etc. Did this all start-up bigtime as a result of the idiotic Republican policy of allowing any Cuban that touches shore here to be "immigrants?" If so -- yet more "blowback" from the Repukes!

"well I consider myself liberal and think illegal immigration is appalling"

Did the Mayflower pilgrims ever apply for a green card with the Native American authorities?
You're right, only white people have the sacrosanct right to keep their land free of "aliens", even when they stole it from someone else in the first place...

P.S. Liberal my foot. And I'm generous today...

OBVIOUSLT LOU DOBBS is getting the attention of the ilegal law breakers. Perhaps prison time will also get their attention. Prison time for their employers may also help.

Sending the employers to jail for knowingly hiring illegals is the only solution.

Either do that -- or shut up and forget it. One or the other. I don't care which any more.

Either put the employer in jail -- which would fix this mess -- or don't do anything. Just quit bitchn about it like a bunch of cry babies.

The fence is dumber than mud. We see on photographs, the illegals can climb over the fence.

They can go under a fence, around a fence, and thru a Fence. A fence might be okay in certain areas, but a 2000 mile fence is insane. It wont work.

Put 100 employers in jail -- watch what happens. If you put 10000 illegals in jail, 10000 more illegals take their place.

So quit being stupid. Either put the employer in jail, or shut up.

Being agains illegal immigration doesn't make you anti immigration. It just makes you against the flood of illegal aliens pouring into our country illegaly.
One interesting thing is those that are for open borders and unrestricted immigration only want it for Mexicans. The don't want unlimited Blacks, Eastern Europeans or Asians coming into America. Somehow it's different though when it's Mexicans. That's not at all racist though,

[amanda85]

"One interesting thing is those that are for open borders and unrestricted immigration only want it for Mexicans."

Says who?

[barkway]

...and where did it set box office records? I've never heard of it or seen any ads for it and I live near about 4 or 5 movie theaters in a Hispanic dominated region. What are they calling "record numbers?" How many tickets sold?

[barkway]

Doesn't surprise me. Hispanics have a bad habit of mocking Native born Americans a lot....and sooner or later it's going to catch up with them in a bad way. It has already turned public sentiment against them. Try to be grateful for what you are given by the Country that gave you sanctuary and all the benefits you enjoy as a result.

[authoritarianbootlicker]

My family's heritage is considered by Anglos as Hispanic but we trace our roots to the Coahuiltecan Indians that were settled in Texas long before the Spanish arrived. You can call us Mexican-Americans or Tejanos or whatever. My ancestors were here before they called it Mexico and Texas.

You can take your comments and shove them way up.

[wickedzeus]

So they should just enjoy the benefits of the country and shut up, heaven forbid they voice any sort of criticism towards a xenophobic agitator like Dobbs, why only "Native born Americans.." can do that..

[KatieBeGood]

Since Lou Dobb's wife is Mexican and his children are half Mexican, I find his attitude towards immigrants very confusing.

This evening on CBS's "60 Minutes" Lesley Stahl interviewed the CNN anti-Mexican xenophobe Lou Dobbs. At one point in the interview Ms. Stahl commented, ". . . given the tone of his show, there's something even more surprising, something he never brings up: the fact that his wife Debi is Mexican-American."

This is quite a shock to many Mexican immigrants who have learned to dislike Dobbs because of his constant hate-mongering against what he calls criminal illegal aliens. He recently insinuated that America has the capability of rounding up all undocumented Mexicans and deporting them. Dobbs has become the "hero" of anti-Mexican xenophobes around the country.

Lou Dobbs has twin daughters with Debi whose maiden name is Segura. Mexican blood runs in the veins of his daughters, Hillary and Heather, yet he never mentions this on his anti-immigration CNN shows.

[barkway]

maybe he never mentions it because his focus is on ILLEGAL immigrants (which his wife and kids aren't).

Being against illegal aliens flooding the country doesn't make you anti immigration. It just makes you against open borders and illegal immigration. There is a difference.
The interesting thing is those making the case for illegal immigration only want open borders for Mexicans. They don't want unlimited numbers of Blacks, Asians or Eastern Europeans coming in unrestricted.
Yet Lou Dobbs is the racist.

[amanda85]

Interestingly enough, all white people were illegal immigrants when they reached the Native American nation. But, of course, racists hint that since America's natives weren't white, a second standard should apply to these "sub-humans", who don't get any rights to keep their land...

[DoAsISay]

Wow. Let's see Dobbs go after this little boy, and call him out for a street fight.

[rpence]

Dobbs is a demagogic, smug swine, and the more abuse and humiliation he gets in public, the better for America and the rest of the world. This movie's on my must-see list!

[pompous]

I have said this before - Lou Dobbs is an opportunist. Mr. Dobbs is not a racist. He is a man who saw an opportunity to ncrease ratings and his own personal wealth by bashing illegal immigrants. He has pandered to the "mental midgets" who fear the color brown in their neighborhoods. Illegal immigration is a problem. That has been the truth for over 30 years. We should have the right to control our borders and have knowledge of who is entering. Make no mistake Lou Dobbs is no savior on the illegal immigration issue.

[S1m0n]

I saw the trailer in a cinema in Canada a couple of weeks ago. Did you catch that the distributer is FOX?

[oracle99]

Dobbs is only bashing one side...... the illegals. He should be lobbying to stop the employers that illegally hire these people...but the emphasis isn't on them. No ...a segment of Americans use these people for their cheap labor. Another doublestandard. If these people couldn't find a job here .....they wouldn't be coming.

[amanda85]

"He should be lobbying to stop the employers that illegally hire these people"

No chance of that ever happening. The bastards who pay Dobbs millions of dollars to rant against defenseless people are the same creeps who exploit illegal workers for bigger profits...

[Witchitalineman]

I can't stand Lou Dobbs.

[Metacortex]

This one won't make you cry, but you might actually get the point.

http://www.kerman94.com/mexicotourism.html

btw, if you actually listen to Dobbs, or read his articles you should notice that the focus of criticisms are not with immigrants - its with the federal government, which has come to serve corporate interests and ultimately neither the citizens nor illegal immigrants.

[ADVOCATE4ZPG]

The pro-mass-i­mmigration zealots can't be bothered with such subtleties: Whatever the Third Worlders want is what they should get....

[clr2]

You know what is sadder? How about hospitals closing? What about US citizens who can't get a good education because the teachers are too busy with the children who don't speak English? What about the BILLIONS of dollars spent on people who don't even belong here? Who is crying for us? ILLEGAL ALIENS are sucking our systems dry. We need to use the money we shell out on the education and health care for ILLEGAL ALIENS on our own poor. Who is crying for them?

[rpence]

I don't know, but I know what's saddest of all--people like you, who scapegoat entire groups of people and blame them for things that have far more complex reasons than you cite.

Please--you can't really be as stupid as you sound, can you?

[clr2]

rpence - I'm not stupid I'm a realist. You don't think that having MILLIONS of ILLEGALS in our country isn't going to take a tole on our country? Who's the stupid one? Have you been in a classroom in LA lately? What about an emergency room? Try it sometime and open your eyes. Spending BILLIONS on a group of people who are here ILLEGALLY doesn't make sense. We should be using this money on our own poor. What is stupid about that?
