I have wished that Lou Dobbs would correct his factual mistakes. With that said, I am glad he is on board to close down the open borders and the illegal alien employers. I wonder when Amy is going to do more coverage of illegal alien employers.

Jaki, The ones that are off-base are yourself, Amy and Juan. I’m old enough to have been paying attention during election 2000, are you? I stand by my statements, Goodman rationalized Nader’s demand that a Bush presidency be imposed on the most powerless, to cause untold suffering to force them into the “movement”. It was her much loved “scorched Earth” theory. I suggest you educate yourself rather than parroting mindless drivel as seems to be your prediliction. As such Goodman and those like her have the same blood of innocent Iraqis and Americans on their hands, that Bush and those who voted for him do. Like them, she is hiding behind denial. She attacked Al Gore as being no different than Bush, she has no shame, nor has she apologized for her lies and propaganda against him. She knows that Nader has profited from dirty corporate investments, back then and now he makes millions of dollars in profits from the raping of the Niger Delta, child labor in Chinese sweat shops, the military industrial complex, big oil (and it was Nader who owned half a million in investments in Occidental Oil, not Al Gore, the way she accused back then)

We knew Bush would push us into war, Goodman did as well, but had a million excuses at the time for how it wouldn’t be allowed to happen. Since that time she’s sought to profit from the war and other crimes Bush has been behind for her own ideological agenda.

I used to be a fan of Goodman’s, up until she showed her true colors in 2000, and I did watch the online video of the interview. You rabidly infer that Amy and Juan could barely get a word in edgewise.. I have to ask, did you watch the interview? He did attempt to answer the accusations, and saw how flustered Goodman became because she realized how cheap her shots were starting to appear. Like every other blind ideologue though, she has no shame and kept hiding behind a few claims rather than actually address the wider truths. American citizens are suffering from poverty based on the corporate exploitation of illegal aliens, lobbying, with the help of Goodman, the ACLU, and others on the payroll, like La Raza, MALDEF, LULAC (who receive millions of dollars from the US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable) and foreign governments, and the outsourcing of jobs, and importation of foreign visa workers. Goodman knows what is going on and turns a blind eye to it. Apparently she refuses to criticize the corporate elite when it suits her.

Yes, fascistic bullies.. do you know what fascism is? Goodman is attempting to vilefy one of the few members of the media who are reporting the truth, taking on the corporate elite for their attempt to oppress American workers, and exploit illegal alien labor, ensuring that the status quo of the third world never changes, and is in fact imposed on the most powerless in America. Goodman attacked Dobbs on a few mis-statements, but never sought to discuss the wider issues he has reported on.. because she is interested in shutting him down altogether, because she wants such suffering and oppression to take hold.

When was the last time Goodman ever covered the realities of poverty and suffering faced by the America people? When has she challenged La Raza, MALDEF or LULAC for taking untold millions from the US Chamber of Commerce and Business Roundtable to help them undermine American wage standards and workplace protections? Never. When has she taken on the lies about jobs Americans won’t do? Never. Harvard University participated in a study that was released a week and a half back, that proved that worker shortages in America were a lie. Whether we’re talking about blue collar or white collar tech jobs, it’s all been a lie. Has Goodman covered that study? Never.

Part 2

Just whose “better quality of life” is Goodman and Gonzalez interested in? Not the poor, neither of America or Latin America.. that’s plain to see. Their “better quality of life” refers to the ability of parasitical elites like themselves to fatten themselves of an oppressd lower class slave-like class. She is no different than George W. Bush and those like him. The racist, the classist is Goodman, Gonzalez and those like him who spit in the faces of the most powerless every day, and attempt to help Bush sweep the realities beneath the carpet. Goodman is an example of why the left has been negated, because she is the reality that proves the negative stereotypes (that people like myself defended it against) are at the heart of things true.

Amy Goodman, welcome to irony!

The first bit of irony is supposed reporter Goodman taking what the SPLC - a group with an indirect link to the Mexican government - says at face value. Perhaps Amy Goodman could update this piece with a disclosure of the SPLC’s indirect link to that government.

The second bit is Goodman pretending that where a graphic comes from matters; similar graphics can be found on many sites like aztlan.net or similar, and I’m pretty sure they aren’t linked to the CCC.

And, the third bit of irony concerns Goodman’s past “reporting”. She should go back and ask Max Blumenthal to correct all the misleading statements he made on her show. After doing that, she can tell us why when she interviewed an immigration march organizer you forgot to mention that he’s an official with Mexico’s PRD Party.

Let’s see some of your famous “reporting”, Ms. Goodman.

This is part two of my original post, had to split it up because it contained too many characters for one post. Please read the one below, first.

Amy Goodman attempts to attack and demean Lou Dobbs, because he has been the lone voice speaking out against the exploitation of poor people, and he’s actually woken up the sleeping giant, the American people.. and she and her rabid parasitical pals can’t have that..

Even worse, when he points out that the governments of Mexico and others in Latin America are extremely wealthy, and could raise wage standards, and even increase taxes on the wealthiest in those countries and the corporations. That illegals coming here undermine the efforts of activists in their home countries who strive to bring about change. Amy Goodman works to protect the status quo in those countries. In fact, were the late senator Robert Kennedy alive today, saying the same things he said in the ‘60s, that we should protect our own poor, and help lift them out of poverty, that we should reject the corporate interests that seek to exploit illegal alien labor, and that we should stand with the poor in places like Latin America to demand their governments increase wages and opportunity, Amy Goodman would attempt to paint him a racist and xenophobe as well.

I have to ask as well, given that Goodman’s hero, Ralph Nader was in fact truly nationalistic and rather xenophobic, why she didn’t criticize him? Perhaps because Nader’s candidacy was for her a means to impose Bush, and the suffering he would impose on the most powerless.

So like her heroes, the Stalins, the Maos, the nazis she must demean those who speak out, reduce them to hateful terms so as to render them as being less than. Amy Goodman doesn’t believe in freedom and liberty.. it’s inconvenient because those concepts require a two way street. Goodman wants her own freedom, to deny us our own. In short, she is one of those fascistic bullies we’ve seen throughout history, and she’s constructed a nice little mythology to excuse her behavior to others and even herself… that she knows what is better for all of us, than we do ourselves. Despots from the beginning of time have done the same thing, and for the same corrupt and hateful reasons, because they hate and seek to warp and control others oppressively.

The problem with Amy Goodman’s rationale is that she herself is guilty of what she accuses Lou Dobbs of doing. Making cheap shots purely for the sake of her own narrow minded agenda. Now, I’m sure Ms. Goodman and her sort will attempt to dismiss my complaints as those of a white racist. I’m a Native American, and have seen the poverty that exists across the US among American citizens, who are Black, Brown and White. They exist, they did the jobs the Ms. Goodmans, the George Bushs and the corporate elites want people to think Americans simply do not do. They want you to ignore the reports that poor young Americans, Black, Brown and White can not find jobs upon finishing high school.. because she and her sort hope Americans give up hope and become desolate enough that they are more easily exploitable.. in short if reduced to the sort of third world poverty that feeds the fascistic pipedream of “revolution”.

There is no empathy for the poverty that exists in Latin America, or for the illegal aliens (yes, it is the appropriate term, it refers to foreign nationals who enter the country illegally or who remain here illegally) she attempts to exploit for her own exploitation.. and yes, using one group of poor people, to pit them against another for blind ideological purposes is exploitation. In short she is no different than the George Bush she rationalized electing back in 2000 with other extremist ideologues.. for the reason of imposing mass suffering on the American people. I can only surmise that this is her way of telling poor American citizens who are long term un and underemployed to eat cake?

Ms Goodman knows that the US has been bleeding jobs since the 1980s, she’s well aware that NAFTA sent even more jobs to Mexico, jobs that had been previously held by American citizens.. and those jobs have never been replaced. Since then the jobs bleed has continued at an even faster pace. Yet Ms. Goodman can’t be bothered to care about the suffering that has gone on as a result.

Now, in spite of the long term un and underemployment of American citizen workers, and the very real poverty that has resulted. The homelessness, the privation. The fact that despite the MSM and the so called alternative media (when’s the last time Goodman, or the hypocrites at Air America Radio, or NPR have ever covered this reality? I can tell you, NEVER) ignoring the realities, news about ever increasing rates of malnutrition and anemia being diagnosed among poor Americans, anemia among poor women and girls at numbers we haven’t seen since the great depression, has trickled out there.

Each week, more American citizen families are evicted from their apartments because they have lost jobs or aren’t earning enough. They lose their homes. Yet even the so called “alternative” media, the ones who claimed they were needed to counter the lack of reporting by the MSM, can’t bring themselves to spend even a miniscule amount of air time to discuss these realities.

Perhaps Ms. Goodman hates poor Americans, and feels entitled to dismiss them as less than human.. perhaps the same way those like her rationalized the slave trade, or the genocide against native peoples the world over. Her sort believe they are far superior and entitle to exploit and feed parasitically off the slave laboring and suffering of the poor.

CESAR CHAVEZ: ANTI-MEXICAN RACIST ?

Cesar Chavez in his day was no more tolerant of illegal immigration than the Minutemen are now. Worried about the hiring of illegal immigrants driving down wages, Chavez—according to numerous historical accounts—instructed union members to call the Immigration and Naturalization Service to report the presence of illegal immigrants in the fields and demand that the agency deport them. UFW officials were even known to picket INS offices to demand a crackdown on illegal immigrants.

In 1973 the union set up a “wet line” to prevent Mexican immigrants from entering the United States. Under the guidance of Chavez’s cousin Manuel, UFW members tried at first to convince the immigrants not to cross. When that did not work, they physically attacked the immigrants and left some bloody in the process.
