American journalist Lou Dobbs is campaigning for Republican Mitt Romney and against the Democrat and "non-American" Barack Obama on the Fox News Channel. But, as he always insists, it's all fair and balanced.

Lou Dobbs is a well-known journalist. Previously he worked at CNN and enjoyed a great reputation in the broadcast industry. But he has a problem. Well, actually he has a lot of problems. For example, he doesn't like Democrats. Supposedly because his boss was too close to Bill Clinton, he left CNN the first time in 1999. And he doesn't like immigrants, either.

He blamed the spread of leprosy in the U.S. on illegal immigrants in 2005. In 2008, he publicly announced he had doubts that Barack Obama was really an American. When CNN insisted that he cease and desist making this provably false charge, he gave his notice at CNN once again in 2009. This time it was the combination of an immigrant AND a Democrat wanting to become President of the United States.

So it's no surprise that in this election, Lou Dobbs — with complete fairness and balance, of course — decided to look again into Barack Obama's election campaign. He immediately noticed the Obama campaign was using a new video spot with the slogan “Forward.” What a word! Lou knew that word had significant history.

Lou knew that communist, socialist and Bolshevist newspapers used that word as a title. Like “Vorwärts” in Germany, or “Avanti” in Italy, whose editor in chief had once been a certain Benito Mussolini, who later became a Fascist!

No, no, Lou isn't trying to insinuate anything, he's merely pointing out that communists and fascists were the inspiration for Obama's “Forward” slogan. Goodness gracious, it gets worse and worse. So now Lou Dobbs is nothing less than an unpaid campaign worker for Mitt Romney on the Fox News Network.

But, as he insists, it's always “completely fair and balanced.”


Fox wettert gegen Kommunisten, Faschisten und Obama

Der Publizist Lou Dobbs macht auf Fox Wahlkampf für Romney und gegen den Nicht-Amerikaner und Demokraten Obama. Ganz unabhängig, wie er immer betont.

Lou Dobbs ist ein bekannter Journalist. Früher einmal arbeitete er bei CNN und genoss in der Branche großes Ansehen. Doch er hat ein Problem, na ja, eher mehrere Probleme. Er mag beispielsweise keine Demokraten - wegen der angeblichen Nähe seines Chefs zu dem damaligen Präsidenten Bill Clinton verließ er 1999 erstmals CNN. Und er mag keine Einwanderer.

So behauptete er 2005 illegale Migranten seien daran Schuld, dass sich Lepra in den USA verbreite. 2008 bezweifelte er dann, dass Barack Obama Amerikaner sei. Als sein Sender verlangte, diese nachweislich falsche Behauptung zu unterlassen, kündigte er 2009 erneut bei CNN. Schließlich ging es ja um einen Einwanderer UND Demokraten auf dem Weg, Präsident der USA zu werden.

Es nimmt also nicht Wunder, wenn Lou Dobbs auch in diesem Wahlkampf - ganz unparteilich, versteht sich - die Kampagne Barack Obamas unter die Lupe nimmt. Dabei fällt ihm auf, dass ein neues Video mit dem Slogan "Forward" daher kommt. Was für ein Wort, es hat Geschichte! Das weiß Lou.

Hießen so denn nicht lauter kommunistische, sozialistische, bolschewistische Zeitungen, so wie der Vorwärts in Deutschland oder Avanti in Italien (deren Chefredakteur auch mal ein gewisser Benito Mussolini war, ein späterer Faschist!).

Nein, nein, Lou Dobbs will gar nichts unterstellen. Nur mal drauf hinweisen: Kommunisten und Faschisten standen Pate für Obamas Slogan "Forward", huijuijui ... Geht's schlimmer ... So einfach und kostenlos macht Dobbs nun auf Fox Wahlkampf für Romney und gegen den Nicht-Amerikaner und Demokraten Obama. Ganz unabhängig, wie er immer betont.
