Lou Dobbs! Agent of Treason

...the cost of Dobbs, Coulter, Limbaugh, and Beck...

SOURCE

Talking Points Memo noted that Ronald Kessler, the author of a recently released book on the Secret Service's protection of U.S. presidents, recently said that threats against President Obama are up 400 percent from the number of threats levied against former President George W. Bush, while the size of the agency's staff has only increased by 5.3 percent. The Southern Poverty Law Center says that the U.S. has seen a 35 percent rise in hate groups in recent years, and few doubt that the discontent stirred up over the election of an African-American president is fueling the rise in threats. But, could the influx of modern technology also be to blame?

Gawker on Mexican-fearing Glenn Beck!


So many people are hitting this post that the video is delayed! Good news for all the sane folks in this country that this mad, ethnic-body, fearing hypocrite is getting outed for the ass he is! Cheers!

Lou Dobbs and Glenn Beck, Meet Lalo Alcaraz: 21st Century Swifts and Comedies of Hate


The rise of immigrant-loathing, ethnic-hypochondriac, fascist pundits like Lou Dobbs (Mexicans have Leprosy!) and Glenn Beck (Burn Mexicans as gasoline) is fueling*, pardon the pun, not only a rising wave of anti-immigrant, anti-Mexican hate, it is also, remarkably, helping fine tune a rising wave of Jonathan Swift-style satire. Lalo Alcaraz is our head Chicano artist "Gulliver" in the cause!

Stereotypes are Funny as Shit Until the Proverbial Shit Hits the Fan...

Distracted from my day to day life as the chair of an English Department, I was indolently reading my favorite columnist and BFF* Gustavo Arellano, aka Ask-A-Mexican, OCWeekly's irreverent, peculiar, and delicious ace detective of the the Latino/a dasein, and, as per the usual, I was laughing. Try not to read and enjoy this ghost-of-Rita Hayworth-inspired rant--that crazy Chicano Mesican can write! [click to enlarge]


But the flipside of all that laughter and something Arellano has helped to out more than anyone is the fact that Mexican stereotypes feed the self-loathing lusts of Mexican-hating fools everywhere. After all, these gobs of semantic and semoitc hate are so right at hand. Next to dumb blond jokes, Mexican-slurring chistes are manna from the skies for Glenn-Beck- and Lou-Dobbs-channeling-doofi (plural of doofus) from Calexico to Boise, from West Lafayette to Storrs, Ct.

Sorry for the downer post, but you read this, watch CNN Headline, and Fox New,s and its about all you can do to smile in the morning. Luckily Arellano's pumping some gnarly-good correlatives and correctives!
