Thomas Friedman Is A Doo-Doo Face

March 1st, 2006

Is that title sophomoric and infantile or what? Without question. Name-calling usually is. It’s certainly not something you expect from someone who touts themselves as a Pulitzer Prize winning professional journalist.

But that’s what you get when you can’t compete on ideological grounds.

Long time sufferers of Dobbs Derangement Syndrome, NAM posts yet another petty little piece of hate gleefully pointing to a speech by Tom Friedman given at Yale where he calls Lou Dobbs a “blithering idiot”.

Just like a school-yard bully who wasn’t quick enough or clever enough to win at dodge-ball and now resorts to playground epithets because… well… it’s all he’s got.

Frankly, being called a “blithering idiot” by Tom Friedman is the functional equivalent of being called “ugly” by a toad.

I guess if name-calling and vitriol now stand as legitimate journalistic tools then I can feel free to indulge a little myself.

Tom Friedman is the buck-toothed moron who took a Discovery Channel crew to India to sell us all on the idea of how good it’s going to be when they ship every valuable American Ideal over there wholesale.

It… was… horrifying to watch. Not surprisingly – it was a complete disaster for the Discovery Channel, and they don’t rerun it – but as bad as it was it was still unsettling to watch the Indian workers (who had all replaced American workers) being instructed on how to ‘adopt’ western sounding names, and being given courses to help them overcome their accents because the American corporations who had off-shored American jobs were worried that those hard to pronounce names and tell-tale accents would be bad for business when American’s figured out they were talking to “cyber-coolies” instead of their previously employed American counterparts.

It did my heart so good to see him fragged by his own troops in this piece carried in the left-of-center CounterPunch newsletter, which really puts paid to his love affair with all things Indian – and pokes big gigantic semi-tractor-trailor sized holes in the myths that Friedman’s been trying to force-feed Times readers for years about that country.

The reason that left-wing lunatics like Friedman (and others – you know who you are you cheeky little NAM monkeys you) have to stoop to name calling and hate-speech when they talk about Lou Dobbs is because they are incensed by the idea that someone would have the unmitigated gall to stand up and call the horrible and unpatriotic sell-out of the American Dream exactly that – Un-American and Un-Patriotic.

It makes them very nervous and very angry when they realize that someone is going to call their bluff. They were counting on being able to stand uncorrected in front of the American people and tell their lies and their myths and their fabrications and sell their unbelievably anti-American agenda with no resistance. And… lacking any real defense - have to resort to screaming childish names. They sure as hell can’t debate the issue.

Tough. You want to sell America out to foreign governments fine, but you can’t be surprised when someone points out the obvious.

Friedman’s BA is in “Mediterranean Studies”

With a Masters in “Middle Eastern Studies”.

Laugh? I thought I’d die.

Not quite the mental giant in economics he’d like everyone to believe he is – and more than a little telling on where his true ideological biases lie. I guess my question is how in the hell did this poseur worm his way into a position of “chief economic correspondent” to the White House? I guess when you realize that Helen Thomas (snork) was Bureau Chief for UPI - I suppose you realize how little it really means all things considered.

Dobb’s Masters Degree is in ECONOMICS. From HARVARD.

Here’s another hot-tip for the sufferers of Dobbs Derangement Syndrome.

All four men carved into the face of Mount Rushmore weren’t okay with the selling of American Sovereignty either. Nor were the Founding Fathers.

They were all high tariff-guys with strong “nationalist” leanings who were very vocal about putting America first.

Dobbs is in good company.

So… you can call Dobbs “Fat Bastard” or a “blithering idiot” or a “terrorist” or a “xenophobe” all you want.

He’s dead-on the money – and THAT’S why you’re so scared you’re down to sophomoric name-calling instead of debating him on the ideology.

Because you can’t. Name calling is all you got.

And to my conservative brethren on the right – take note:

When ideologically bankrupt moonbats like Thomas Friedman are touting globalism as a cure for all the world’s ills – perhaps it should be your clue that you’re on the wrong side of this issue.

You can buy Lou’s book here. It’s mandatory reading for anyone who is worried about Brown Sludge and who cares about what’s happening to America.
