[Peace-discuss] Fw: Lou Dobbs is dangerous

[LAURIE SOLOMON]

Even such an attempt at censorship would not be effective because in
probability Lou Dobbs probably has a reasonably large following which is
likely to be made up of a demographic that has and spends money so as to
attract advertisers.  People on the left - like people on the right - tend
to have an inflated view of their numbers and influence.

If this were about Amy Goodman, we'd regard it as an attempt at censorship.
