Remember the days gone by, during the height of the immigration debate and the rants and the raves of CNN’s chief immigrant basher, Lou Dobbs. Well apparently, the immigration debate is a bit slow so he thought he would spice it up a bit.
While bitching about St. Patrick’s Day on his radio show Dobbs said:
“And by the way, I’ve got to wish to you, each and every one, Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! I do that, and I have to be honest with you, despite my fervent anti-ethnic holiday position. That’s right! I’m against St. Patrick’s Day. I’m against St. Columbus Day. Saint Joseph’s Day. I’m against all of those things. Is there, by the way, is there a Jewish, a Jewish ethnic holiday? Is there one? No? Okay. The Jews have disappointed me. I mean, is there a St. Mauritius? No? A Belize? I don’t know. We gotta have — there’s gotta be something else going on here! How about an Asian ethnic holiday? Is there one? You know, a Saint Jin Tao Wow? Chinese New Year? All right, we can do that … I mean, what is with all of these ethnic holidays? I mean how about an American Day? How about were all the same kind of day?”
An American Day? Lou, how about the 4th of July? If I had to guess I would say that Dobbs is a WASP that has a really hard time with people with skin tones other than white.
