Lou Dobbs Mocked In Commercial For Hispanic Film

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

Huffington Post   |  Danny Shea   |   March 26, 2008 05:22 PM



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...

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!

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,

...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?

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.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 06:21 PM on 03/27/2008

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..

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.

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.

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.

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...

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 08:08 AM on 03/29/2008

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

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.

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.

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.

Uh, how many people here calling it propaganda have actually seen the film? Yeah. Exactly.

favoriteFavorite Flag as abusive Posted 07:56 AM on 03/27/2008

Yeah...Mexico has their own little propaganda factory...sad piece of business, US/Mexico relations over the years, it could be easily fixed by coming up with an ironclad border treaty with Mexico, reinforce La Linea with common agreement on both sides of it to mutually maintain it, instead there's all these greasy labor things, and trade deals, and and and, and the only way to help Mexico get up on their own 2 feet is probably just to CLOSE the border completely for about a year, then send help south, should they end up needing it.

The biggest problem Mexico has is that they need better infrastructure. But, Mexico has their very own concrete company, their own oil company, even, and they've got engineers and designers and technicians and many hands to make light work, buuuuut...somewhere in there, the old spark of independence just hasn't quite jumped, yet, I've met some great people from Mexico and other spanish-speaking countries, but 'border' is a word that needs to be illustrated in plain english, I think.

Calm down realitytrumps ... I think the point is to get back at Lou Dobbs and the influence he has. Have you ever watched him? He starts to show his teeth like a wolf when he talks about Mexican people. They're basically telling him they're going to fight back. The other point is that folks are generally wanting to show that we are all connected, in suffering and in good. Arghh ... humanity rearing its ugly head again.

Yes, but that has nothing to do with Lou Dobbs and the open border with Mexico.
We are not getting software engineers from Mexico.

We are getting unskilled, uneducated labor, many of whom are muling drugs for the cartels over the border with Mexico.

Unless the issue is approached with some kind of clarity,
the problem will never be solved and the cartels will continue
to make obscene amounts of money sufficient to purchase
every law enforcement agency between Nogales and Seattle.

This is not about the poor campesino who needs money for his daughter's
heart surgery.

It's about drugs and drug addiction.

Wrong. Drug cartels don't use undocumented immigrants to carry drugs. Why would they? Immigrants have a 50/50 chance of capture every time they cross the border. There is no way that drug cartels are going to take a chance on an illegal moving their drugs for them.

Most drugs are either flown into this country or brought in by average looking Americans who either need the money or love the excitement of running drugs.

You apparently want to do something about the undocumented immigrant problem in this country. How about taking our frustrations out on the American companies who hire them. I have news for you. THEY WOULD NOT COME HERE IF THERE WERE NOT JOBS WAITING FOR THEM!
