Is Dobbs Lying Again?

What's Your Reaction?

The New York Post is reporting that Lou Dobbs was not, lets say, completely truthful about the gun shots fired at his house the other day.

Dobbs had claimed that he has received various death threats because of his immigration position and that his house was shot at while his wife was outside in the driveway.

Notably Dobbs praised local police enforcement for their help on the matter. But according to the New York Post local law enforcement begs to differ. Law enforcement believes that the shots were from straying area hunters and claim that shots are fired in the area during hunting season very, very often.

So what's next, immigrants with leprosy trying to intentionally infect him and his wife?

Here is the Post article.

dear lou:
when people exercise their right to own guns and hunt bullets go astray- even in residential suburbs teeming with deer. the only thing you might be victim of is the lack of gun control- a that is a right so dear to your leaden heart.
while i wish you no physical harm, the ultimate irony would be that if harm from a gun ever did strike you or your family, the weapon will likely be legal even if the shooter isnt!

He's not lying, he's just having trouble telling reality from his own fevered imagination. Time to put an old cow out to pasture, I'd say.

Without Lou Dobb's, Glenn Beck, O'Reilly commentary Americans would never know about the cloaked agenda of the open border zealots. Lou brought the un-exaggerated truth about the 20 to 30 million illegal immigration invasion from every corner of the world? I watch CNN (cable) every day and never heard journalists mention anything about any specific indigenous people regarding the illegal immigration occupancy of our country. He only talk about the gigantic difference who came as newcomers, honestly through the inspection process and do not expect financial government handouts. Not stealing into America like thieves in the night, demanding rights and respect, that is laughable in the eyes of the majority of the legal population. My guess the perpetrators were illegal alien gang members, who get away with bloody murder every day. Just look towards the--SANCTUARY CITIES--of San Francisco and Los Angeles.

Light a fire under nonchalant politicians who are selling American workers futures to highest bidder contact WASHINGTON at 202-224-3121 As easily as you voted for these people, you can vote them OUT?

TODAY IS THE DAY TO LEARN MORE ABOUT CORRUPTION AND COMPROMISE BY OUR POLITICIANS AT NUMBERSUSA, JUDICIAL WATCH & CAPSWEB. SAY NO TO ANY NEW PATH TO CITIZENSHIP. ADD HONEST AMENDMENTS TO THE 1986 SIMPSON/MAZZOLI BILL, NOT ANOTHER COMPREHENSIVE IMMIGRATION BILL, UNLIKE THE PREVIOUS ONE THAT WAS OVERFLOWING WITH FRAUD.

All that is known is that a shot was fired and hit his house. Nobody knows who did it or why so all of these comments are speculation.

Mostly, Dobbs' comments are speculation. According to the NJ Police, they are rank speculation.

Desperate and dull witted man, put out there for fans who are just the same as him. Dishonest, bad people.

First thing I thought was....he walked into his back yard with his gun...fired some shots in the air......and just made some fresh news!

I don't understand why he didn't report it to the police immediately. He waited 3 weeks??

If you love your family wouldn't you report it right away?

If he has as many threats as he says why doesn't he have recordings of the calls for police?

If he has threats as he claims wouldn't he have a security system with cameras? He is a wealthy new figure and can easily afford to protect himself and his family with a security system.

If I were the police I would charge him for either not reporting a crime or for wasting police time with no credible evidence of a crime.

"Is Dobbs Lying again?" Why would you even ask that question, when we all know that Dobbs find it difficult to speak a word, unless it's hurtful or a lie, which in the case of Latinos, it's usually both!

Dobbs has proven on CNN he is a liar. Why should he tell the truth now? Of course, he wants to claim victim status. Other racists are coming to his defense like Bill O'Reilly who knows reverse discrimination when he sees it, but to him, no other discrimination exists.

I was once involved with a liar. I learned that a liar will always lie again. He will lie even when he does not need to. He will never admit he lies. He will lie to confuse the issue so that you can never (so he thinks) prove he is lying. He will lie to give himself an advantage, to get sympathy, to make himself look better, and he will lie to make anyone who is revealing the truth look bad.

Once someone has proven to be a liar, you can never trust anything they ever say again. Period.

Liars are poison to the social fabric. You cannot "make a deal" with a liar. You cannot cooperate with a liar. They are hopeless.

Didn't he say she was shot at from "15 feet away?"
I think it's a claim we should repeat, and repeat.
Fabricating news is unethical, tasteless, and unbecoming of such a fine, upstanding American citizen like Mr. Lou.
