How come Randi Rhodes gets the panel of Dem haters on Lou Dobbs...

[NNN0LHI]

...who laugh her off the set, but all Coulter gets is Lou Dobbs agreeing with her insanity and grinning at her like the Cheshire cat?

Something doesn't seem right.

2. It's not fair, but Randi can handle it and then some. Can Ann?

3. Love to see a debate between the two.

Now that would be worth it.

5. That's saying alot!!

I would pay to see Randi and Mann fight!
Randi would kill her!!!

4. Republicans always cheat. That's their first characteristic

followed by their insistence (unfounded) that it's the other guy who cheats.

6. Randi was part of a panel

7. Dobbs should have had an opposing view on with Coulter too

If Dobbs was fair that is. Obviously that isn't the case.

He sat right there and let a Republican hack swiftboat the 9/11 widows and he loved every minute of it.

9. I wondered about that, but there might be a answer.

I think that in order to book Coulter you have to agree that any interview is only a one-on-one. I bet she demands that there be no opposing view as a condition.

All her other interviews lately have been one-on-one also.

8. No mystery - CNN is controlled by House of Saud and House of Bush.

And has been since they engineered the buyout and exit of Ted Turner. Steve Case and AOL was their tool to do it.

10. People like Dobbs and Matthews have been Time-Warner and GE

pusher-princes for years. They pimp the politics of Time-Warner and GE which is the politics of the Republican WH and the military.

Why does anyone on DU trust them? Why did Randi trust Lou?

There is nothing wrong for praising them on the few occassions when they seem to break through, but in the long run they cannot be trusted and you if you think change is going to happen, take a LOOOONNNNNgggg wait and see attitude. Wait until they are about 93% logical and fighting for the same things you fight for. A little blip doesn't do it.

Ask yourself who is paying the mortgages on their two or more houses each? Ask yourself how many news directors and vice-presidents are over them and how many blips are going to get through before the calls from the WH come? Ask yourselves if Time-Warner and GE are ever going to change?

It's all pretty clear that they will never reach 93% or 33%.

So don't set yourself up for disappointment.

Just praise them when it happens and move along. Don't wait for their conversions.

Think anamolies. 'Cuz they're not going to change anytime soon.

11. because Dobbs is a conservative republican?

it would be nice to believe that since we agree with him on a couple of issues he is on our team but that is not true.

[LaPera]

12. Because Dobbs hates liberals, even if they're cute ones!

[Norquist Nemesis]

13. The same reason Tweety gives Ken Mehlman, two Cons and

a RW radio hate-monger open mics the day after the CA 50 election.

14. Watched both shows...won't be watching anymore! Take a hike, Lou!

15. Someone catch me up here

I've been sort of out of it the last few days.

Randi was on Dobbs and she was outnumbered she blew up and said something about gay Republicans voting for the Gay marriage amendment and she will never be on again? Her choice or Dobbs's?

Coulter was on and Dobbs ...well Dobbs gave her airtime after her Today Show embarassment that is bad enough.
