Somebody has to protect Dobbs from that arrow that flies into his trumpet!

Well. CNN tries to circle the wagons, but covered the wagons in see-through fabric. Great work...:rolleyes:

FWIW, I happen to think Dobbs is a twit. And CNN is just being stupid on many fronts these days.

Dobbs is no more offensive than Hannity, Gallagher, Maddow, Olbermann, Moyers or Stewart. Each has a right to say what they want and their network can choose to "protect" or not protect them.

I laughed. Who else here remembers F-Troop? "Advance to the Rear!"

Well, they seem to need Dobbs as their example they're not steering the ship entirely to the left. And I actually admire Dobbs for his ongoing battle against illegals, when nobody else seems to carry the banner. And why not protect a long-time pro like Dobbs?

It's almost as if someone at CNN told Lou to, "right it up a little."

Not familiar with Cunningham, and yes, Limbaugh can be offensive at times when I've heard him.
Do you find any liberals offensive?

do you find Billy Cunningham offensive?
Of course he was. As a Tarheel and Sixer great, he was one of the most lethal offensive threats ever, especially off the bench.
Ah, yes, the Kangaroo Kid...

Dobbs should go over to Fox news like Beck did - then he can go as far off the deep end as e wants to.

I can't picture Lou Dobbs pouring water out of a gasoline container on someone or crying in front of the camera. Then again, maybe I don't want to.

Not your typo at all. Just a bit puzzled by that comment. No big deal.

Ken Berry, too...
(There were some really bad Indian portrayals on that show. It's surprising not to have had Abe Vigoda in there)

He was probably fighting rumors of his death even then.

Trooper Hannibal Dobbs...his only commentary was the tortured blow of his bugel.
