Dobbs and Gheen Admit to Inciting Violence
PEOPLE LIKE LOU DOBBS and William Gheen only care about violent environments when they suffer. Clearly, immigrants and Latinos getting killed or hurt matters none to them.
PROFESSIONAL VITRIOL-SPEWER Lou Dobbs claims that shots were fired at his house, and that this violence is due to his views on immigration. Implied in his words are the connection between focused ire and public violence.
They’ve created an atmosphere and they’ve been unrelenting in their propaganda,” Dobbs said in reference to pro-immigration groups.
Get that? It’s the people fighting for the rights and humane treatment of immigrants who are creating a violent atmosphere. Yeah. Nothing like a little projection to help a ghoul live with itself.
Also chiming in is William Gheen, anti-immigrant president of ALIPAC, who tellingly admits in a newsletter that when you create an atmosphere of revulsion and loathing around people, this leads to violence: [my emphasis]
Friends of ALIPAC,
We have just learned that someone has fired a gun at the home of Lou Dobbs, with his wife just a few feet away from the incident. The gunfire followed a series of threatening phone calls.
Lou Dobbs is being targeted by the pro-illegal alien groups and pundits who feel that Dobbs is stopping Amnesty from passing.
The Southern Poverty Law Center, the Anti Defamation League, the National Council of La Raza, Media Matters, and Geraldo Rivera of Fox News are using false information to foment hatred towards Lou Dobbs or any American who speaks out against Amnesty or illegal immigration.
They have pushed for Lou Dobbs to be fired and since CNN has refused to do that some people are now turning to violence to try and achieve their goals.
The lies and hate coming from these radical pro-illegal alien groups is now manifesting in the form of gunfire fired into the occupied home of an innocent multi-racial family.
What conclusions can we draw from their only now admitting this connection many of us have been trying to underline for so long?
1. Lou Dobbs and William Gheen understand that what they do normally leads to the violence that continues to bring death and fear to our communities
thus
2. They enjoy causing that violence.
But now, ALLEGEDLY, shots are fired near Lou’s house, and they are up in arms talking about this dangerous environment. It is to laugh.
Lou, for the first time in his skanky life, is being held to account by organized groups online and off for the negativity and hostility and vile things he puts out into the air all year. And all he can come up with is calling people “fleas” as a response, go back to his daily demonization routine, and then whine about a violent environment from which he is normally cushioned due to his station, class, and situation.
Live by the sword, Lou?
(PS: Well, hardly a sword. And hardly a bullet, apparently! After all, if the projectile “struck the siding and then fell to the ground,” I’m guessing it was a slow moving BB, perhaps. Which means Lou’s well-layered makeup would have stopped it cold.)
“Lou Dobbs is being targeted by the pro-illegal alien groups and pundits …”
OK, Nez, YOU probably have an airtight alibi, but where were Rachel Maddow, Keith Olberman, Geraldo Rivera, and the sane (or quasi-sane) 80 percent of the United States at the time…? This has all the makings of a good Agatha Christy whodonit, although she usually limited herself to only a dozen or so likely suspects.
When this went down, I was busy dehumanizing carrots.
[...] Let’s clear a few things up shall we? Last time I checked there wasn’t a campaign supported by mainstream media distortions and government policies that encourage profiling that puts the lives of white male television pundits. There are no hoardes of Latinos going white pundit hunting. Pero Lou Dobbs, who yes is the target of multiple campaigns to get his hate speech off the airwaves, or at the very least off CNN, now is claiming that he and his wife were the targets in a shooting and who is to blame? Latinos of cou… [...]
Nezua, Really good essay. I signed the anti-Dobbs petition — I think Fox is the appropriate home for him, not CNN which pretends to be a respectable news outlet. This doesn’t mean that I approve of anyone shooting at his house (tho chances are it was a hunter’s wild shot).
How come Dobbs is so ready to assume that a bunch of petition-signers would shoot at him, when he whips people up all the time & then claims that the rabble he’s roused is pre-existing public opinion? Poor Dobbsy, you think **he** influences people? No, no, no, merely a reporter …. Dundo!
Thank you. And I don’t think there’s much more point to his reporting a shot that “slid” off the house, his ranch on 300 acres, ten days before he started whining about it in public aside from trying to pose himself as some sort of victim in a vitriol stew he picked out the ingredients for.
Funny how Beck has bodyguards, Arpaio is now whining about his safety, Lou is whining about a stray hunter’s bullet hitting his ranch house on 300 acres of land…
They begin to demonstrate through these actions and complaints the same fear that fuels their very careers and actions in the first place. They manifest a darkness that clouds their mind and now they see it coming for them in their sleep.
There is no bodyguard that can keep away the conscience.
According to Think Progress, it seems likely it was a result of the fact Dobbs lives in a rural area and it’s currently hunting season. I mean, how else would a bullet hit a wall and just fall off unless it was fired from a very long distance?

Come take some shots at my house. It won’t be like Lou Dobb’s home, I assure you….I will return fire immediately and chase you down. Once I have you, my German Shepard will finish you off.
I welcome the Civil War with you Mexican invaders!
Bring it on sooner than later!
You’re….a weirdo. First of all, I don’t go hunting in New Jersey. So go bring beef with some dudes in orange camo in the Garden State. Second of all, I was born in the US, dumbass. Third of all, lay off the coffee, dogboy.
