"Almost every organization and leader fighting against illegal immigration and Amnesty is receiving a steady stream of death threats due to the false portrayals by these radical pro-illegal alien groups. Every American and member of the media needs to put their foot down and put a stop to this kind of violence evoking propaganda. I have a box full of such threats as do the others."
Groups such as the Southern Poverty Law Center, Anti Defamation League, National Council of La Raza, Media Matters, MALDEF, LULAC, Immigration Voice, and others have been aggressively distorting the truth about Lou Dobbs and every organization that shares a stance against illegal immigration and amnesty, which is popular with approximately 80% of all Americans. The Spanish media often exaggerates these false claims even further to create fear and political support in Spanish media markets that would collapse if illegal immigration stopped.
These groups seek to portray anyone against illegal immigration as being in false association with the KKK, Neo Nazis, and violence against minorities and immigrants. They do this because less than 15% of Americans support their pro-illegal immigration and pro-Amnesty positions so they focus on demonizing those who resent the popular view like Lou Dobbs. They have made such accusations against blacks, Hispanics, and multi-racial groups with civil rights support backgrounds like ALIPAC!
ALIPAC has launched a video on Youtube that contains the full audio from Lou Dobbs's radio show describing the attack on his home and the gunfire. Every American citizen and member of the media that values their freedoms should view this video.

Have to agree there. The "stray bullet" theory doesn't seem likely in a wealthy neighborhood.
But seriously, why are people surprised? When you guys post stories about Lou Dobbs, Rush, Hannity, Beck, Savage, Palin, the responses those posts ellicit are some of the most hateful, spiteful comments made and that's here on ATS. Imagine what goes on around the country on other boards that aren't moderated so well. Is it any wonder something like this happens?
Frankly, I'm surprised Rush's and Beck's house isn't shot at every night with the amount of negativity spewed out toward them, least of all by the MSM!
On October 26, Dobbs discussed the shooting on his radio show. Dobbs told his listeners that he has received countless death threats and has been forced to hire bodyguards.

But friend Hunka the story isn't about those people. The story is about Lou Dobbs who is neither partisan or a hate mongerer.
He is simply someone who favors common sense enforcement of existing laws
and not exporting our jobs and industries overseas at the expense of the American people to bolster corporate bottom lines and share holder returns.
If you call that hate mongering then we are in trouble.
In fact we are in trouble because most people can't in fact differentiate any more what are singular and sound arguments and contentions but instead insist everything go into a left/right camp to either praise or attack.
You my friend truly are a reckless adventurer playing into the hands of the existing order-Chairman Mao!

No Hunka what you most often do is take any subject or topic to turn it into a platform for promoting a left/right divide.
Perhaps you are so intently focused on your politics to not notice how you do that.
Your initial response to this thread had nothing to do with Dobb's own plight as being the victim of a potential crime or negligence but to rather instead comment on another posters desire to make everything about a left/right divide.

Yep.. his house got shot at...
Is this a surprise?
22 The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries, which result, gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of Public Liberty.

No Hunka it's called a crime and not a surprise. Your vague statement could be construed as an endorsement of such violent behavior my friend.
