Is Lou Dobbs Persecuting Immigrants Nazi Style?
Propaganda techniques include -- patriotic flag-waving, glittering generalities, intentional vagueness, over simplification of complex issues, rationalization, introducing unrelated red herring issues, using appealing, simple slogans, stereotyping, testimonials from authority figures or celebrities, unstated assumptions, and encouraging readers or viewers to "jump on the bandwagon" of a particular ideology.
This article blasts Lou Dobbs as a heartless Nazi like Propagandist: Worse that Dr. Joseph Goebbels -- Hitler's Minister of 'Propaganda and Enlightenment': http://www.afroarticles.com/article-dash...
Answer:
After looking this all over, - it looks like you and Dobbs are sitting in the same boat spewing out to others.
No. Dobbs has no such power.
That's what you get for reading propaganda. read your own definition of Propaganda
He is a non issue. Who even pays attention to Lou Dobbs?
Maybe. Despite that I support his efforts. He's right about the problem of illegal immigration in this country and far too many Mexican Americans don't seem to understand what "illegal" means.
Perhaps they might look it up on Wikipedia...
You really really need to read up about the Nazis if you think this in any way resembles what went on in Germany.
Asking a question like this makes you look like a gullible little moron who reads too much La Raza propaganda. You know La Raza - the organization that wants all whites, blacks and asians to be run off the North American continent.
I'm not sure of Dobbs persecuting immigrants, but he
is a pure LIberal and Democrat, and I frankly don't like
him. Won't watch him anymore either.
The article you linked to is pure propaganda, thanks for providing such a clear and cogent example.
Lou Dobbs is standing up for our national sovereignty, that's not going to make him popular with the invaders.
By the way, Dobbs is concerned with illegals, not immigrants. Immigrants are welcome here. In fact, Dobbs is married to one. Illegals on the other hand should be shot.
Good post BCL, you nailed it.
I wouldn't say Nazi style.But he does seem to ONLY focus on immigrants from Mexico.I rarely hear him mention those from other countries..He does seem to appeal to nationalists, and pander to there radical views.There was a scathing article about him in the NY times, I didn't read it, but heard him mentioning it on his program..He just brushed it off, like nothing..
One last thing, it was stated that Lou Dobbs is one of the most popular people on the white supremacist Web sites. That is no coincedence.
Ok read this Article I found it, NY TIMES.Its very good, and exposes his lies...

No, Lou speaks to the needs of middle class tax payer
The answer just prior to mine is probably better than mine but I haven't seen any concentration camps or ovens or mass graves around recently.
Lou Dobbs is passionate about his position. Nazi style would be squelching his right to say what he says. Personally, I think people who come to this country illegally demanding that we change our procedures to protect our borders are much more dangerous to the security of this country than Lou Dobbs. And that is not directed at people who follow the law to enter this country. There is no "right" to become an American citizen that extends to everyone in the world. It is a PRIVILEDGE that the United States grants under procedures prescribed by our laws. If someone enters the country illegally, they are CRIMINALS. In that. Lou Dobbs is correct. Like it or not.
His style of reporting is a tad on the dramatic side. But the immigration issue is a serious one. Regardless of what side you are on. And on some points, he is absolutely correct. Because if it is your belief that the borders to this country should be open unconditionally to anyone who wants to enter, you are sadly mistaken. ESPECIALLY when you consider that immigration laws for entry into Mexico for instance are EXTREMELY restrictive.
"Give us your poor..." is an inscription on a statue. And while it is often the reality with immigration here, it is NOT the law of the land.
Lou Dobbs is a total *sshole. Looks like he has political aspirations, and there are enough idiots in Washington already.
Nope... not even close.I don't think that Dobbs uses propaganda against scumbag losers.. or illegals either.
sounds like anyone you disagree with 'is like Hitler'
of course not. sheeese!!
NO
Lou Dobbs and the guys at Numberusa got it right.
North American Union, wide open borders, Illegal Aliens running rampant, so called "cured" diseases of the past are back...we are being invaded..
The Middle Class is square in the bulls-eye of the power brokers who are hellbent on having no US borders, a super-rich class and a super-poor class(working poor) who are too tired to complain/fight but who are willing to work for less and less pay each year
he's big time nazi xenophobe!
Well if Lou Dobbs is against Illegals, infesting our Country, I guess I should pay attention to the Man.
OK, Lou Dobbs is not the nicest or more level headed guy out there, but, really, comparing him to a Nazi is the kind of fallacious, deliberately misleading fallacy, that, while sometimes convincing is none the less invalid.
I sure don't need Dobbs to tell me how bad illegal immigration is. I live it every day. We are the only non Hispanics in our neighborhood. Gangs, drive by shootings, drugs, filth. You name it, we got it. I can make up my own mind on this issue. But, Dobbs is correct.
No, Lou Dobbs give the facts just as they are, no candy coating. Lou never has said anything bad about immigration, but he does speak out on illegal aliens, people openly breaking our laws. But he also speaks out on big business, and how they are getting away with breaking our laws. I think what most like about Lou Dobbs, is he is not for the right, nor the left, but he is for hard working Americans.
the article whines about claims made by dobbs and others but makes no attempt at disproving the claims.
So for someone who calls someone a nazi propagandist yet presents no facts of their own... i woudl stick with dobbs.
Lou Dobbs is someone every American better be paying attention to. He is right in everything he says.
By the way he is talking about illegals!
Dobbs is just one of the few people in the media that is not afraid to voice a view that is not shared by his network or bosses.
I think there are many citizens that feel as he does about immigration. Things are going to change because we are in a crisis.
If we don't get control of our borders we will lose our national identity.
Dobbs, speaking his mind has nothing to do with propaganda.
Chavez and Castro are better examples than Lou Dobbs for your theory.
Of course he isn't. He is an intelligent reasonable man who expects the laws of our country to be enforced, just like most level-headed American citizens do. It's interesting how people like to compare those they disagree with to the Nazis. I am not sure these people are really familiar with history. We don't have prison camps here, roast people in ovens, perform medical experiments on them, starve them, etc etc. Millions and millions of humans were murdered by the Nazis. Please.how could this possibly compare with wanting immigrants to obey our immigration laws? It's just ridiculous.
He is as well as many others.
Lou Dobbs isn't persecuting anyone, he doesn't have the power to do that, but I wish he did!
What he is doing is keeping the American public informed. If illegals believe they are being persecuted by the truth, too damn bad. If they don't like it here, they can always leave and take their complaints up to their own government so they can hopefully get that bullet in the head they all deserve!
Lu Bobbs is American and speaks like proud American should, true Americans do not tolerate Illegal things done in America
