Is Lou Dobbs a racist?

Sandra Rose September 15, 2008

For those of you who aren’t familiar, Lou Dobbs is a popular CNN anchor who hosts his own show, Lou Dobbs Tonight on the cable news network. Dobbs is known for being fair and unbiased in his reporting.

A loyal reader sent me this photo of Dobbs holding a box of Obama Pancake Waffles in a photo taken at a conference. The reader accuses Lou Dobbs of being racist.

If you’ve ever attended a major conference you know that there are always gift bags and freebies given away at conferences. So how does that make Lou Dobbs racist just because he was given a sample at a conference?

The reader points out that a post with this photo mysteriously disappeared from the Obama Waffles website.

Well, first off, I don’t think a company can manufacture waffles with Obama’s likeness and name without his permission.

Let’s choose our battles a little more carefully and try not to paint everybody with a sweeping racist brush.

I do not believe these waffles were created with Obama’s permission. I have a link that shows the creators being interviewed about the waffles they were selling at the RNC. Please post the video if you can. It can provide some insight into the allegations about racism being tied to Lou Dobbs

A Racist ? who knows .. but that wasn’t too bright of him to appear in a Pic with an obviously darker cartoon of Obama’s likeness …
Is that supposed to be a racial dig at Obama .. you know like Aunt Jemima ?

I don’t know if Lou is a racist, but he certainly is not unbiased in my opinion. As for that box, unless he intends to use it for a story he should have thrown it away as soon as he got it rather than posing for pictures with it in his hand.

in his defense by the look of the pic he was not posing with it, i would not have even noticed it if it wasn’t for sandra pointing it out. it just seemed like someone took a pic and he smiled not thinking about what is in his hands.

Well I would just say he was “a racist”
what I will say is that he speaks poorly about the mexicians,Illegal immigration.

Uhh, forget the waffles- watch his show if you ever need anything solid to support his allegations of racism. He is awful. He talks slick and is very sideways.

I guess that is ok with Sandra though. She rarely has anything positive to say about black men either.
