CNN’s Lou Dobbs was confronted by picketers from the Buffalo/Western New York International Action Center when he broadcast live from Buffalo, N.Y., on Dec. 6. Dobbs has turned his nightly “news” program into an orgy of immigrant-bashing. Opponents of his racist campaign handed out fliers to the “town hall” audience, which read, “No media personality has done more to generate a hateful, lie-filled anti-immigrant climate than Lou Dobbs.”

The flier explained that Dobbs’ message of hatred is meant to divide working people, to get those who think of themselves as “middle class” to blame immigrants and the poor for job losses, instead of correctly blaming corporate greed and U.S. imperialism.
