Everybody’s throwing Lou Dobbs under the bus.

Lou Dobbs ought be tired of all the treadmarks on him because it seems as “Mr. Independent”, as he so humbly refers to himself, has become the “Liberaly biased” media’s favorite bus-stop.
Them damn liberals such as Bill O’reilly and Ann Coulter along with his OWN network co-wokers on CNN get it. Why can’t you too, Lou?

The clean-up crews were probably still sweeping confetti from Grant Park, in fact, when the first wave of paranoiac Obama-reaction hit the press: A run on gun-shops by disaffected red-staters convinced that the 44th president would do to the Second Amendment what Bill Ayers tried to do to New York City Police Headquarters. “He wants to take our guns from us and create a socialist society policed by his own police force,” Jim Pruett, a Houston-based radio-personality-turned-gun-dealer, told the New York Times.
