Mr. Dobbs continues to instigate a hostility between the races. I'm certain, this practice is for ratings on television. The fuel for racism can be easily ignited, simply by using wrong interpretation or twisting the facts. One of Mr. Dobbs most recent rants and rhetoric was to say, "a little white boy was being beaten up on a school bus by a gang of black boys."

The simple fact, it was kids misbehaving badly on a school bus. He continues to fan the flames of racism by exploiting Americans sensitivity and fear on racial issues. Is it really worth the ratings Mr. Dobbs? I think not.

President Obama is not a Muslim. He is a Christian man who supports the rights of Muslims and respects their culture. Has this hate mongering gotten America anywhere? The pilot is already lit, with many Americans suffering job loss, loss of their homes. Racism will not solve any of these problems.

We will have to be very careful, so that we don't retrogress to our past. Our past was ripe with the violent riots of the sixties, segregation and discrimination. Racism is a trickle down theory and will eventually affect all races. Sexism is not too far behind in this moral decay.

Controversy is a quick fix for sagging ratings. Let's pray Americans realize this before listening to this type of propaganda. Why didn't Lou Dobbs report about the Jenna Six controversy, that took place in the summer of 2009. it is obvious Mr. Dobbs knows exactly who's button to push.

Terroism and racism are two different words, yet Mr. Dobbs would like the American public to fear any Muslim and look upon them as a potential terrorist. Yes, our President chose to quell the fear, by stating we are not at war with the Muslim nations. Look at in this way, if you believe a country fears you and hates you, wouldn't that put you on the offensive?

Sure, most Americans, may have a fear of the unknown. Why not take a wait and see approach? Extending an olive branch in peace is much more effective than military weapons and lives sacrificed.

These rumors and rhetoric are designed to work you up into a frenzy. Let us continue to pay attention and contemplate the facts. A television broadcaster, should never have control over our rational thinking abilities. Please, remember we are rational thinking people.
