Lou Dobbs - CNN

Ahh... his latest whipping horse is The Guardian (a borderline tabloid) and it's latest comments about the US election...

1) The comments about (in)famous assassins of past presidents where a little off-side.... but I've heard them many times before... a joke is a joke, get over it.

2) The write in campaign in asking Americans to vote for Kerry...

Yah you'd hate for a nation to meddle in the internal affairs of others....

Okay Lou I gotta ask... you constantly have stated that the US should look to itself and not others... so why the concern over what other nations/people think? Or is positive external commentary the only acceptable commentary?

You are wrong RA. Humor like this may be acceptable in Canada, but it certainly is not acceptable in the U.S. Can you imagine if a writer in the U.K. had made a joke about the assassination of John Kerry?

Ummm... not really because one he's not president yet, and two he's actually liked (well more than Bush) pretty much everywhere.

When will you realize that most Americans don't really care who the Canadians like. God help us, the Canadians don't like Bush.

Well not just us Canadians... but the British, French, Germans, Italians, Russians, Finnish, Swiss, Belgians, Dutch, Norweigans, Mexicans, Peruvians, Brazilians, Turks, Portuguese, Japanese, Australians, South Koreans, South Africans, Chinese, Indians, Pakistanis, Indonesians, Irish, and the whole of the Middle East (except Israel and Iraq - Israelis like him, Iraqis are too busy trying to surive to care anymore).

In fact the only country that I could find that is supportive of Bush is Israel and we'll see about the US on Nov. 2nd.

Not to mention the sumbitch who wrote the Guardian editorial is probably already in the Secret Service's watch list - you just don't make comments encouraging people to whack the President, even if you violently disagree with his policies.

It's funny how this was condemned in England - including by the Democrats. But RACooper with his penis envy of America is busy trying to say otherwise.

And why wouldn't RACooper think it's OK to make jokes about killing people? He was busy on Greekchat telling people he wanted to kill me and gut me with a knife.

For some reason I see Rudey as a Captain Kirk figure fighting to the death (what episode was that?)

A freakin men.

Although I confess to wishing Margaret Trudeau would be run over by a truck on a Toronto side street.
But that was many moons ago, and I have grown. Now I realize what a waste of energy. Silly me, Canadians don't matter.

Keep listing. When you get to a country that has never taken aid from us, never asked us to get their asses out of a sling, never looked to us to get them out of a jam, or is bigger and stronger, I might give a damn.
Get back to me on that, will you?

The truck would bounce off her huge-ass thighs.
