CNN Most Trusted Name in News? Not for Latinos

Ask anyone of any race or ethnicity if he or she agrees with everything said on any news program. I'm sure the answer would be no. CNN contains pro-latino news along with what you perceive as anti-latino. If you don't like a particular program, don't watch it or change the channel. Censorship of either side of any issue prevents each of us from reaching an informed decision. AlterNet is guilty of such censorship. Maybe you should stick to the Latino channels only.

SPEAK UP OR LOSE YOUR RIGHT TO FREE SPEECH, BECAUSE THAT IS WHAT THE DEMOCRATIC MORONS HAVE IN THERE AGENDA?

Lou Dobbs is not anti-Latino, he, like me is anti-illegal immigrant. The fact is there are between 20 to 30 million plus illegal aliens in this country and the majority happen to be Latino? They want to live in America? Go home and join the line of millions of other people? There is no easy road and I for one will keep up my blogs against anymore occupancy of foreign nations overwhelming America's way of life.

This is th 2nd anti-Dobbs article in the last few days distributed by alternet.

I've listened to Dobbs. Don't hear hate or rascism.

Hear about the various costs of illegal migration.

And also as I say, Mexican's are for the most part of Spanish descent. They put down the native population as the U.S. does its native population.

Since Spain is in Europe I don't get the rascist part from that point of view.

I do think there is an ethic component to this whole thing that is going on. Hispanics are becoming a larger portion of the population and the support of illegal migration may simply be the intent to change the demographics of the nation faster so Hispanics gain power. Such a agenda I would take to be rascist if I understand the focus on increasing a particular ethic group by whatever means.

It's simply amazing how much the rascist card is being played. Few have any integrity in clearly stating thier goals.

Yet again, Alternet discredits itself with the smear campaign against Dobbs who is NOT against legal immigration.

Once again Alternet supports those who gain the most by exploiting illegal aliens.

Once again Alternet, a trusted source of news for me, is proving it is becoming a valueless, baseless source of nonsense afraid to say no to baseless articles out of what? fear? fear of being called racist by a group of people promoting illegal activity?

Jerks.

. . . and her parents live with them on their horse ranch in NJ. Give it a rest, Alternet. Get a life.
High levels of immigration, illegal and legal, suppress USAmerican wages by 3-7%, according to Harvard's George (Jorge) Borjas, himself and immigrant.
The US is the world's most overpopulated nation when you consider our total ecofootprint. The US and China have about the same land area yet consider this: US, 300 million persons X 24 acres/person = 7.2 billion acres of land under human domination. China, 1.3 billion persons X 4 acres/person = 5.2 billion acres of land under human domination. Every new USAmerican means 24 acres of land, mostly tropical rain forest, gets converted to pasture or plantation in someone else's country. Immigration to the US is a race to the bottom for US wages and US and world environment.
As progressives aren't we supposed to be concerned about exploitation?
BastaAlternet.

Again Alter Net's racists journalist are on the ATTACK of poor ole Lou Dobbs.

I watch his show every night and I am a DEMOCRAT can you believe that?

Most ILLEGAL ALIENS won't watch his show they don't SPEAK ENGLISH.

Since you don't watch Lou Dobbs I assume you watch the more balanced news net work.

FOX NEWS It hasn't reported the truth news since its inception. Lou Dobbs has.

Keep up your lies about LOU DOBBS and I will respond immediately.

Have a nice RECISTS DAY

I often wonder if Americans really understand what Free Speech really is or means!


Free Speech is not a license to lie on or disparage a group of individuals or to incite others into violent acts against those who are deemed as "others"!

Free Speech among your friends, a political rally, or other venue is fine, when you are on a nationally broadcast tv show, and people listen to you and believe you, it is illegal!

Free Speech is your right to say whatever you want to say, but even the Supreme Court has recognized that "yelling fire" in a crowded theater is dangerous to the rights of others and is illegal!

the whiniest articles here at alterflake concerning ILLEGAL ALIENS BREAKING THE LAW are rationalized by those named torres, segura, etc, etc.
Look at the VERY CLEAR evidence in thier bullshitting of how they rationalize away the LAW BREAKING and misrepresent Dobbs and most of us here as being against LEGAL immigration.

Yada, yada, yada. "Dobbs is a racist, Dobbs is anti-Latino, Dobbs is anti-immigrant...." BS!!!

Dobbs tells the truth about the invasion of illegal aliens and its true cost to our society. This is a message that the pro-illegal alien and "la raza" groups don't want us to hear. They'd prefer that we go along our merry way while they stifle anyone like Dobbs who dares to expose their blatant grabs for power.

Dobbs is anti-ILLEGAL immigration; I have never, ever heard him say one word in opposition to LEGAL immigration! This whole stupid drumbeat by some Hispanics against Dobbs comes about because (according to the Pew Hispanic Center) about 81% of ALL illegal aliens are Hispanic (57% of them from Mexico alone; the other 24% from other Latin American countries.) The self-anointed "leaders" of these groups hope to use the growing numbers, including the illegals who have no right to be here at all, as a power base for themselves. The employers see cheap labor, and the politicians see eventual extra votes. All are self-serving and in it for their own benefit, not that of this nation.

Believe any of these blowhards at your own risk. It's like a mirror image of Rush Limbaugh or Glen Beck.

I live in and was born in America. If I break the law, I go to jail. I find it offensive that people who don't even belong here, their very presence is ILLEGAL and they get to do as they please, is considered so Wonderful that any question of it makes me a hatemonger. Fine. Thats the way you all want it. I'm off to join the KKK. Have fun.

You know the saying "Do what I say, not what I do." CNN has a racist, nasty, crazy man that must in some way reflect their core beliefs or he would have been fired when the first serious objections came out. So he represents them - what they think - and anything else is marketing. If you wouldn't like being marketed to by the head of the KKK - then don't stand for being marketed to by the company that pays Lou Dobbs the big bucks. You won't be missing anything anyway, CNN News is just like all the other news stations in the corporate world.... they tow the company line... opt for Weapons of Mass Destruction instead of digging into the lies... you won't be missing a thing by turning them off.

Lou isn't the worst thing that happened to CNN, but he comes close.
The WORST thing that happened to CNN was when Ted Turner sold it.

There IS a solution to 'illegal' immigration.

Manifest Destiny* II - Go South Young Man

* Wiki - Sometimes Manifest Destiny was interpreted so broadly as to include the eventual absorption of all North America: Canada, Mexico, Cuba and Central America.
linked text

Annex 'Old' Mexico as 51st state.

Seriously.

We need oil > they have oodles
We like tequila > " " "
We love beaches > " " "
They (obviously) LOVE US so...

Since they've got (virtually) NO standing Army/Air Force, let's "make them an offer they can't refuse".

And, Presto-Changeo, Ipso-Facto, no more illegals!

And, everyone's happy (well, 'cept the LouDobbsian/R-Idiot old white euro-centric (very) small 'c' christian types who will finally be 'smoked out' as the racists they are, and almost overnight, THEY will become a minority. Try those 'shoes' on for a fit and tell us what you think.

Let's 'git 'er done'!! Can I get a 'second' here?

Joe Torres, yet another AlterNet mouthpiece promoting the 'free for all Latinos' mentality which permeates this website. Mr. Torres is more unethical, racist and hateful than the people he points fingers at. Lou Dobbs has never - not once - uttered racist remarks. Mr. Dobbs promotes a land governed by civil laws - The Republic of the United States of America. No one deserves to live in this country that has broken laws to get here. No one deserves our social services - food stamps, health care, schools, etc., that is not a citizen of this country. No one has the right to ILLEGALLY TRESPASS ON OUR LAND, put American citizens in harms way, cost our country billions of dollars, degrade our school systems, and generally refuse to assimilate into our culture. See, when most European immigrants came here they believed in the American Dream. They believed in our society and what we stand for. They did not isolate themselves in non-English speaking communities but instead tried to learn our language and participate in our culture. It never even occurred to these people to come here illegally. These were law abiding people. The hordes of Latinos climbing boarder fences, arriving in the back of trucks, or overstaying Visas are here for selfish personal gain and have no desire to assimilate into our society. The bulk of these people feel that Americans are supposed to just make room for them and allow them to suck off our social services which hardly are enough for the hard working citizens paying the bill. Ignorant finger pointing people like Joe Torres are the reason I feel so strongly about illegal aliens being in this country. I'll never forget that first rally of illegal Latinos fighting for their "right" (what rights?) and holding the American flag underneath and upside down under a Mexican flag. Sickening. That one image is the icon of the Latino mentality. Keep your gangs, your third world machismo mentality, your unwillingness to assimilate - swallow your false sense of machismo pride - and fill out the freaking paperwork to become a citizen. Otherwise, you shouldn't be here. If you are here legally, then I don't know why you would promote an atmosphere tolerant of illegals. They take away jobs from poor citizens who are more entitled to be here. It is often legal Latino immigrants and poor African Americans who are left without a job when illegals steal them. Oh, and I'm sick of honest law abiding citizens having their social security numbers and id stolen by illegal aliens - almost always Latino. Citizens have the say - we set the rules - not the illegals.
Change your own third world backwards country and maybe you wouldn't have to be here in the first place.
AlterNet is a great site regarding stories about the environment and other topics, but I don't understand this picking out people they don't agree with from the media and tv and crucifying them. If you actually watched Lou Dobbs and Bill O'Reilly you'd know they never say anything racist. I'm a Libertarian, by the way, and I believe that we are a country of laws. If you don't like them then nobody forces you to live here.

It would appear that Troll Season has begun. Either that, or Lou Dobbs has a lot of accounts here on AlterNet.

Good job, Lou! But I can see past your spelling and grammar mistakes. Trying to throw us off the track, eh?

Illegal Aliens are the root of the issue! Americans are "tired" of them "illegally" crossing our borders, abusing rights that are for "Americans".

What part of "illegal" do some not understand??

Dobbs is a racist.
You can't have him on the payroll and say you are fair and balanced. Dobbs needs to go to Fux news!
Latinos know racist when we see them and we won't forget and we will vote.
There WILL be a pathway to citizenship.
Like it or don't it does not matter how much HATRED you spew!
Look at the numbers and do the math...
