I don't watch Lou Dobbs, though I know who he is and some of the things he stands for. This editorial opinion by the New York Times is a classic case of projection. The editorial board loves to describe opponents of illegal immigration as "nativists" and "restrictionists." (By this logic, a woman who resists rape is a restrictionist, for she wants to decide for herself who gets in.) Everything the board says about Dobbs applies to itself, which is pretty funny, when you think about it.
Addendum: Dobbs has left CNN. Look for him to join Fox News, which recently hired John Stossel. It will give progressives another reason (as if they need one) to hate Fox News. By the way, it was great to see the New York Times say that MSNBC is as ideological as Fox. It's more ideological, actually, but let that go.
