Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs

Business & Media: CNN's Lou Dobbs has been on a tear about the recent tainted-tomato salmonella outbreak, but this time he's taken it a step further and is calling for the ultimate political punishment. "For them to leave the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in this state, its leadership in this sorry condition and to have no capacity apparently or will to protect the American consumer -- that is alone to me sufficient reason to impeach a president who has made this agency possible and has ripped its guts out in its ability to protect the American consumer," Dobbs said.

Is Celisary Lou Dobbs?

Cuz they're both fucking crazy.

Dobbs is 100% correct on this one. Thousands are being sickened by this samonella because many people are getting sick but it's not being reported. People are dying!

Bush TWICE has extended the time since 2003 to not enforce putting the "country of origin" label on produce and meat. The FDA has no clue where this disease came from although they think it's either Florida or Mexico. People in Mexico have been reported sick with this same samonella. How many more thousands have to get sick while Bush Co. sits with their thumb up their butts trying to trace down the source. The majority of those sickened are in Texas and Florida. They "think" it might be a packing house but they do not know.

I'm glad the Bush lovers are happy not having a clue where this food came from, what fertilizers are used, or even where it was distributed. Let us know how you feel about him when one of your family members (usually babies and elderly or those with weak immune systems) is hospitalized and no one has a clue as how they got sick because Bush's free trade at ANY cost is worth it as long as he can keep his corporate donors happy.

I thought they excluded CA and FL for the source of tomatoes?

Goes with the China shit too.

I am all for free trade--but the checks and balances and safety measures have to be in place.

They are working on finding the source--sounds like there are more than one.

Dobbs is a mixed bag. He makes a lot of good points about corporate globalization and "free trade" agreements.

And at the same time, he has a xenophobic streak and has no workable ideas about dealing with illegal immigration.

CA was never thought to be the source. You're thinking of the outbreak last year with the onions. And that's the problem -- the FDA doesn't know where this samonella came from, not the country, not the distributor or anything else. They still can't find the source -- as people continue to be sickened -- but it's narrowed to tomatoes from FL or Mexico. They also think it may have come from a distributing plant but because there is no "country of origin" or any identifying labels allowed (thanks to Bush) people continue to get sick while the FDA hunts down the source.

McCain -- the Republicans' boy -- stated yesterday that "I am all for free trade and I'm a real free trading guy" to guarantee Americans that Bush's free trade policies will continue if you elect him.

So if you want to chance barfing your brains out and having to make a trip to the emergency room everytime you have dinner on your table or go out to eat and you haven't grown the food yourself in your own yard -- be sure and vote Republican.

Pretty much Spud's take as well plus he's got a real hate on fer Obama fer some reason.

Be Well.

/On Topic?

Impeach Bush over Salmonella Outbreak?

Why the hell not?

Hell, may as well impeach him fer this farkup as fer any of the other 35 or so reasons already given by Kucinich the other day.

Make sommat stick fer gawd's sakes!

YEAH!

You would think that a dad would care what is in that food your feeding that new baby!

You do know that that kids big eyes aren't going to looking anywhere but at you when they are sick! I sure hope you don't live to regret your indifference!

Greenhouse tomatoes are safe.

FDA refuses to tell the American public the source (which they may not know exactly). Official word on NPR is it could be Florida or Mexico. But the persistance of the outbreak should at least tell them which regions can be eliminated. FDA identified the source for the spinach outbreak which cost growers and distributors $100 million. The implication is that the regulators are protecting Industry.

Government has made protecting Industry a higher priority than Consumers for more thn thirty years or so. This does need to be fixed, but the problem goes far beyond Bush. It the revolving door thing, regulator does Industry a BIG Favor, then leaves Government for a fatcat job in that Industry. Commonly known as corruption. Kucinich has better reasons.

Shockingly, I'm not giving her tomatoes yet...

Fuck tomatoes... tomatoes are gross...

How many more thousands have to get sick while Bush Co. sits with their thumb up their butts trying to trace down the source.

If anyone is still buying tomatoes today, or eating food with tomatoes on them they're an idiot that deserves to get sick. Its a massive salmonella outbreak and like you said they're not really sure where it came from... So until we get a true all clear, then wait another week, then maybe start eating tomatoes again.

ROB THE A HOLE said..."Bush's free trade at ANY cost is worth it as long as he can keep his corporate donors happy."

We Bush supporters are truly sorry for the inconvenience. We promise to work on that as soon as we figure out how to deal with this crippling high oil price / energy independence crisis that your socialist Dems. have been blocking since Bush has been in office. Just keep your burgers and salads ordered w/out tomatoes for a little while and you should be ok.

KMA:rwb

ROB THE A HOLE said..."Bush's free trade at ANY cost is worth it as long as he can keep his corporate donors happy."

I did?

I often hear the die-hard 28% ers touting the lack of another terrorist attack as Bush's greatest achievement. But it has been more luck than strategy. Our food chain is completely and utterly vulnerable.

We're lucky it was just salmonella.

Our imported food could be tainted with slow acting agents that would allow millions to be affected before we even new there was a problem.

Just another national security pooch that has been screwed.

Did the limpwristers go on another name changing binge?

But it has been more luck than strategy.

Where is your desk at CIA headquarters?

Had any republican official said what tigerbalm said they'd be raked over the coals for fear mongering by the queefs on the left side of the aisle.

(here's where some douche says "No, because for the first time they'd be right")


The faux outrage you queers display here daily is amazing.

"Shockingly, I'm not giving her tomatoes yet..."

YEAH!

But see, today its tomatoes, last time its was spinnich, next time it could be formula, or carrotts or milk or (insert food here)!

Duh! A real thinker you are! Yup, you've got it all thunk up! I shouldn't have even mentioned such an outlandish potential!

Cocosamville,
When's the last time you were let outside?

And this is why I buy my vegetables from local growers, while they're in season.

Whether Bush should be impeached because of his neglect of the FDA is questionable, the fact the Lou Dobbs is a xenophobic moron is not. Only idiots watch that clown.

He got interviewed on Democracy Now a couple of months back... strangely he kinda made amy goodman and juan gonzalez look a little stupid. doesn't mean I'm gonna start watching moneyline (or whatever his show is called) and stop watching democracy now.

The immigrants shit in the fields.

Last night a teenager left some empty beer cans on our street and a dog shit in my yard. IMPEACH BUSH AND CHENEY FOR THESE EVIL DEEDS!

This country needs more truley compassionate Conservatives. Compassionate because Government is supposed to serve the people. Conservative because if you can't balance a checkbook most of the time, you can't do ANYTHING. Lou Dobbs represents that position. As Gore Vidal reminds us, Bush, Nixon and others represent dispassionate death. But the tomatoes are not his fault.

Just put it on the list of reasons to impeach Bush. The list is quite long.

"And at the same time, he has a xenophobic streak and has no workable ideas about dealing with illegal immigration."



YOU FUKKKEN MORON!


LOU DOBBS IS A NOBLE AND PATRIOTIC AMERICAN, AND HIS WORKABLE SOLUTION TO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION IS TO BUILD A WALL ON THE BORDER, ALLOW BORDER AGENTS TO DO THEIR JOB, PUNISH EMPLOYERS THAT HIRE ILLEGAL ALIENS, DEPORT CAPTURED ILLEGAL ALIENS AND PUNISH THEM.

I BELIEVE THOSE ARE ALL WORKABLE SOLUTION TO THE ILLEGAL ALIEN INVASION. SO YOU SIR, ARE EITHER UNINFORMED OR A COMPLETE DUMBFUKKK!


OH YEAH, NOT ONLY DO I SUPPORT IMPEACHMENT OF THE PRESIDENT, BUT I ALSO ENDORSE TRYING HIM FOR HIGH CRIMES, TREASION AND HOPEFULLY THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WILL BE CHARGES OF WAR CRIMES AGAINST THE ENTIRE PRESIDENTAL STAFF.

Thanks for the laugh you lib loones...........

"...Did the limpwristers go on another name changing binge?...Posted by 101Chairborne..."

Maybe...but obviously the limpdicks have not.

Doesn't the word Privatization explain it all. It is the republican agenda to stack departments with bozos who have no experience (re: Brownie), and then when the Fit hits the Shan republicans point their fingers and scream: "That's why we need to Privatize..." The end goal of privatizing government? Anarchy. But don't tell a Republican that. they'll sic the Prosperity Jesus on your ass!

BTW - 101chaiborne? It's a glorious day 5 for my Big Fat Beautiful Legal Gay Marriage. And the world hasn't fallen apart yet. Are all your Marriages falling apart now? No? Can you tell me what day it will be, cause I want to mark it on my calendar.

"ROB THE A HOLE".....Unlike Mr. Dobbs I have asked that this Administration be investigated for Crimes against Humanity. An to see if a case can be made for Impeachment. I believe that TORTURE, AN ILLEGAL WAR, WIRETAPPING, THE FIRING OF FEDERAL ATTORNEYS for political reasons might be a good place to start to see if charges are warranted.

An no Mr. Dobbs an I are not Related, as far as I know there are no Racist Fucks in my family, of course you can't say that after all you are a RACIST PRICK yourself.....

Rob the a hole licker and 101 stillborn,

You two are wrong so often it seems quite natural for you.

Had any republican official said what tigerbalm said they'd be raked over the coals for fear mongering by the queefs on the left side of the aisle.

Wrong. We've been calling for FDA strength and cargo container inspections but your boy is to busy building swimming pools in Baghdad.

Fortunately your time in power is coming to a close.

I've heard better insults from 8-year old girls playing soccer. You disappoint me. On the other hand, Lou Dobbs is just doing what works. The crazier you are (Coulter, Crammity, O'Liarly) the more idiots watch. And with the idiot community continuing to swell as evidenced by the "banter" published here, Dobbs will continue to stockpile gold at a phenomenal rate.

Ohhhh ---- Buurnnn!

Well... this certainly put my first post on this thread in its place...

I stand corrected....

wow... you are fucking crazy...

Maybe... maybe not... either way... see you in 4 years.

I'll bet a lot of people thought the same thing you are now back when Carter took over after the Nixon Admin... how long did that hold on power last for you guys?

"Maybe... maybe not... either way... see you in 4 years."

May I infer that we get a respite, until 2012, from Rob's A-hole views? herm

I hate Bush but but that's a bit on the crazy side.

I say fire Dobbs for being a partison hack.

**** Dobbs: Impeach Bush for Salmonella Outbreak ****

.......let's finish with impeaching him for the Iraq war first.......

.......one crime at a time.........

Celisary, if you are the one who said this, I would not be pointing the finger. You may be more from the moron family than the Bushes, Dobbs, or even that lard-ass Jack Murtha.

It seems there would not be any racists in your family because all its members are leaving it up to you as the consummate imbecile and appointed spokesman. What a useful idiot you are. No doubt there are no "racist fucks" in your family. Gay liberals call it something else, don't they?

Most true Americans are proud of Bush's record on important subjects, e.g. fighting terrorism in Iraq and other places so we can still send our kids off to school and go to the store and work, church, etc. without getting our heads blown off by some martyr mentality crazed Muslim jihadist. If you ask me...Bush as Commander-In-Chief and our fabulous military are doing one yeoman's job defending our freedoms and protecting our nation's sovereignty. I don't think your type would even understand what this is all about, so don't lecture me or attack our President. People like you are not worth your hide and tallow.

Secondly, it is not Bush who keeps the lid on all our natural resources, e.g. coal, natural gas, and oil, therefore we are paying more for gasoline than the majority of free world countries when we are sitting on more resources than all the O.P.E.C. gangsters in their cartels put together. This sort of false economy and blind idiotic obstinance on the Democrat side of the isles is literally killing people right here in the U.S. due to starvation, repossession of cars, homes, loss of jobs, etc.

Also, are you telling me you would rather see these unlawful enemy combatants whose sole reason for living is to kill, mame, rape, or otherwise destroy Americans, our way of life or convert us all to slaves? They have been treated better than Americans down at Gitmo and have more privileges than me! I don't think so pal.

Talk about firing U.S. Attorneys for political reasons...there's nothing wrong or unconstitutional about that. They are lucky to have a job as long as they did. The attorneys that really need firing are those idiot 5 on the Supreme Court who just rewrote the Constitution in favor of our enemies. If anything rises to the level of an impeachable offense, it's that sort of arrogant, appeasement philosopy, dumb-ass elitist move.

I think you are one of the same appeasement apostles from the blame America first crowd who, being a total wanker and knob jockey, do not understand the way the world actually works.

BTW, Ron...sorry for misquoting you earlier. I must have been reading this chat without my spec's and misread the sequence. I will be more careful.

Wow, that entire post is so fulla Wrong and FAIL and chock fulla Crazy it's scary!

Most true and truly rational Americans who've bothered to ask the tough questions are pretty sure that BushCo's corporately inspired, hopelessly corrupt and inept misadventures in Iraq were crimes.

War Crimes in some instances.

Instead of making America safer from terrorists the plan has resulted in more terrorists and less support from the rest of the world.

It has beena massive waste of lives, resources, money, and all the good will garnered in the aftermath of the 9/11 tragedy.

To say it has been counter-productive would be an understatement.

You are steeped in the KoolAde.

Put down the paper cup and back slowly away.

They have been treated better than Americans down at Gitmo and have more privileges than me!

They have been systematically tortured with long proven methods and some new variations on the old theme.

Some are insane.

Some committed suicide.

Many tried.

Many went on hunger strikes and were force fed.

At the end of the day the amounts of actionable intel garnered with these questionable practices was marginal.

If yer a proper GOPher you should know that yer candidate McAncient is determined to get rid of Gitmo as his first step.

Fall in line soldier!

Of course, the day after the Supreme Court ruled that detainees imprisoned at Guantanamo are entitled to seek habeas corpus hearings, John McCain did call it "one of the worst decisions in the history of this country."

He just sez shit like that to make idiots like you like him.

Do ya?

Be Well.

PS: 08ama '08

The Cure for Bleeding Hearts!!!!!

What I'd like to do is to rent about a couple hundred empty "Super Tankers" and send them to Africa and Asia and load em up full with all those folks who'd just love to flee the 3rd world poverty and strife - and then I'd drop em all off in Mexico or Central America!!! Sure maybe a lot of them would head,as fast as a bullet for the USA,but what the hell,to my thinking they have just as much right to "illegally" cross the U.S.bnorder as anyone in Mexico or Central America has right!!!!

Plus we'd have the wonderful opportunity to see just how much Mexico and etc. love to have a couple of million new immigrants arrive in their country and immediately demand housing,food and social services!!!

"DENIALATOR"...This fuck that you call President has a favorable rating at 28% an you say that most of all Americans Like what he has done, WHAT TE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, GET OFF LINE YOU IGNORANT BASTARD!!!! YOU ARE A WASTE OF TIME............

Meds time, celery dear
