Lou Dobbs: The next Don Imus?

By: Cliff Kincaid
05/07/07

EDITORIAL - Sunday night's "60 Minutes" on CBS featured a story about
CNN's Lou Dobbs that strangely included the comments of a monitor of
"hate groups." The implication was that there might be something
hateful about Dobbs' opposition to illegal immigration and open
borders. Dobbs may not know it yet, but he is being set up as the next
Don Imus.

While the story showed reporter Lesley Stahl exchanging pleasantries
with Dobbs and interviewing him and his wife, the inclusion of Dobbs
critic Mark Potok of the Southern Poverty Law Center was ominous. It
is an indication that certain political views, mostly of a
conservative nature, are being put into the same category as the Don
Imus racist joke that got him fired from CBS Radio and MSNBC. The
threat of political censorship in America has never been more real
than it is today. And Dobbs isn't the only target.

Potok, "who monitors hate groups for the Southern Poverty Law Center,"
as Stahl put it, was presented as some kind of authority on what
people can say - and how they should say it - on the air. It is
shocking
that a news broadcast like "60 Minutes" would play a role in an
emerging campaign to criminalize and censor what other journalists say
on the air. But liberals seem only to want free speech for themselves.
Ironically, to her apparent dismay, Lesley Stahl reported at the end
of the report that Dobbs had just been hired by CBS News as a
television commentator for "The Early Show." She said she didn't know
this when filming her piece on Dobbs. The use of Mark Potok on "60
Minutes" may have been a warning to Dobbs to tone down his anti-
illegal immigration views.

Potok made the claim on "60 Minutes" that Dobbs was a fear monger and
that "The impression you get [from watching his CNN program,] pretty
strongly I think, day after day, is that sort of all 11 million
illegal aliens are bringing leprosy, they're bringing crime, they're
bringing all these terrible things to the United States."

Potok said that Dobbs' comments gives people "the go-ahead to say
that, you know, `These are a group of rapists and disease-carrying
people who are coming to, you know, essentially destroy the culture of
this country.'"

[ed note: too true! In an Orwellian world the truth is outlawed]

Stahl quibbled with Dobbs about a claim that immigrants were
responsible for bringing leprosy into the U.S., but the issue wasn't
really whether he got a fact right or wrong or even whether he was an
"advocacy journalist." The clear implication was that Dobbs was
somehow encouraging hatred or violence against illegal aliens and was
therefore guilty of "hate speech." Potok served no other purpose than
to imply that Dobbs was a Don Imus-type character, not worthy of being
given air-time.

The "60 Minutes" piece, interestingly enough, aired just days after
the so-called "hate crimes" bill passed the House of Representatives
on May 3 by a vote of 237-180. This legislation attempts to
criminalize what people think and say, rather than what they do.
What's more, it helps lay the groundwork for a federal Fairness
Doctrine to authorize bureaucrats to dictate what can and cannot be
said on the air. Indeed, the "hate crimes" legislation, from the
liberal point of view, may be a necessary precursor to bringing back
the Fairness Doctrine.

The Southern Poverty Law Center, which supported the "hate crimes"
bill, is so extreme that it lists the conservative Christian
Traditional Values Coalition (TVC), a coalition of churches, on a map
of "hate groups" because of its opposition to special rights for
homosexuals. The TVC is listed on the same page with the Ku Klux Klan
and the Nation of Islam.

Potok's latest hysterical article insists that "untold numbers of men
and women may have to die" because of criticism of the homosexual
lifestyle by conservative Christians, labeled "religious zealots" who
employ "the language of hate" and are behind "hate motivated
violence."

With this kind of incendiary rhetoric as a backdrop, and with "hate
crimes" legislation in place, one can foresee the Federal
Communications Commission (FCC), under President Hillary Clinton,
deciding that "hate crimes" in real life are provoked by conservative
hosts or guests on radio and TV. On that basis, therefore, the
conservatives have to be taken off the air or else greatly restricted
in what they are allowed to say.

The American Republic's enemies will do whatever it takes to minimize and silence their critics.
The only ones that think they have diminished Dobb's stature are the
Republic's enemies. Dobb's certainly isn't perfect and everyone isn't
going to agree with all of his views. The increasing number of attacks
on him only serve to enhance his stature.
He is the major beacon of the American Republic, in Journalism.
Let's us hope he will survive the onslaught by America's enemies.

How can it be political censorship, when both sides are represented in any
