: MediaTakeOut.com just caught wind that CNN anchor Lou Dobbs was out hob nobbing with man who created the racially charged box of pancakes with offensive imagery.
But we can't take credit for this story, it belongs to the progressive site Pam's House Blend:
Hmmm...why would the page on the Obama Waffles site linked above suddenly get pulled? After all, Lou Dobbs, a speaker at the Values Voter Summit, stopped by the vendor table to give a slamming endorsement of the product; it depicts Barack Obama as a Muslim bug-eyed Aunt Jemima. The photo, as you can see, shows an approving Dobbs with a box of the mix in his hand.The man doesn't deserve to have a job. His ratings are awful, his anti-hispanic and anti-immigrant remarks border on racist, and he's well past retirement age.For those of you who may have missed yesterday's post, Mark Whitlock and Bob DeMoss, two aspiring Klansmen writers from Tennessee set up a booth sponsored by Tony Perkins and the Family Research Council to sell the Obama Waffles, asserting it was "political satire."
After Think Progress covered this story, the page was yanked from the ObamaWaffles web site, and FRC issued a feeble press release trying to distance itself from the product, claiming it didn't vet the vendor's product and didn't realize the boxes on display were "offensive material."
If you want to tell CNN how you feel, here are some emails to a few of the higher ups at the network:
Jim.Walton@turner.com (Jim Walton is the president of CNN Worldwide) Susan.Grant@turner.com (Susan Grant is executive vice president of CNN News Services) Jon.Klein@turner.com (Jonathan Klein is president of CNN/US Rena.Golden@turner.com (senior vice president and executive producer of CNN.com) David.Payne@turner.com (senior vice president and general manager of CNN.com) Mitch.Gelman@turner.com (senior vice president and senior executive producer of CNN.com)
Okay now let me get this straight you want to get someone fired because of the person they hang with? Another thing is Lou Dobbs' wife is Hispanic, so you need to be telling Black people to go register to vote and make sure they have their current address on file. How about that? And how about starting with Fox news who is clearly racist and has no people of color as anchors, why don't you put up their address ?
This is SO not news to me-Lou Dobbs is THE most racist man on CNN(besides James Carville who doesn't seem to know he's Black-preferring the term CAJUN). My husband watches him all the time(I don't know why, being that my hubby's an immigrant and Lou Dobbs is VERY anti-immigrant). I'm so glad he got caught out there-I hope they fire him-at the least, suspend him...
@mrbeckett & dfrazier-I agree Fox "George W. Bush" News needs to be off the air-I don't even flip my remote past them anymore. But all that doesn't diminish Lou Dobbs covert racist undertones on his show. I've been saying he was a racist behind wayy before this so-called scandal hit. CNN is a GREAT network-Lou Dobbs is their only flaw as far as I'm concerned...
MTO we don't have to address every racist comment or item! Somethings have to be ignored now should this man be fired? No, let him run himself into the ground with his nonsense. Let people say and do as they please. BUT WHEN ELECTIN TIME COMES AROUND LET SHOW THEM HOW WE REALLY FEEL BY VOTING AND MAKE THEM OUT TO BE THE FOOLS!
@paf-you obviously don't watch his show...LOL!
If you had you would be able to see exactly what I'm talking about. Don't let what you read on wikipedia fool you-the man is anti-immigration, whether legal or illegal; a xenophobe to the fullest and doesn't exactly paint Black folks in a good light on his show, either. Gimmie another one...
If yall keep thinking that the power of the pen is better than the power of a SWORD, then we'll keep being disrespected. I dont give two pink testacles about Obama, I truly dont. But only WE allowed to be disrespectful not these reptiles.
You cant keep fighting evil with passiveness.
Cavemen savages die just standing in the sun longer than 2 hours. Tie their assses up and make them sit in Tanzania for 5 hours, that'll take care of him.
Whats the use of getting this dude fired. They all hang together like thats gonna stop it, All he gonna do is call FOX and get another job. We (all people of color) need to stick together like those racist white folks do and maybe we can cause some damage too instead of being on the other side of the fence all the time.
I don't agree with anything LOU DOBBS is doing but MTO and some of the people on here say more stupid and racists sh1t than any site I've ever been on. We tear down our black celebs and make up story's and make them look sooooo bad etc. and the females on here hate on each other to the point where is like dayum ,
WHY WORRY ABOUT WHITE RACIST, CAUSE WE HAVE ENOUGH OF OUR OWN PEOPLE TEARING US DOWN. WHITE RACISTS, IS THE LEAST OF MY CONCERN CAUSE TEMEKA & TYRONE WILL F@CK ME OVER FIRST BEFORE ANY OF THOSE WHITE RACISTS, WHILE EVERY RACE STICK TOGETHER, WE'RE OUR OWN WORST ENEMY !
I want to read and hear this entire story before making a decision based on this article. I've watched Lou Dobbs and he seems very fair when he reports.
His shows about anti-illegal immigration is on target. I'm against it too. I've never heard him say a disparaging remark about it.
If something's not right with Lou and he slanders, I'll be the first to contact someone. Until then I want to know MORE about this story.
For Obama supporters, you should want to know more about this story as well. Look at all the vicious rumors, lies and innuendo being printed about Obama and his family. Research info before believing what the media says, especially MTO.
the thing that bothers me the most is that MTO does little to no research. lou dobbs is not a racists, and if he is i'm not surprised (most old white men are) not to say that those of you who are upset should not write.... you absolutely should (that'sright get mad).
But that same energy that you have to get this anchorman fired for holding some waffles- should be the same energy you put into holding the next president accountable for running this country according to what the people need. Remember it is "We the People" not "We the Politician."
Honestly, this is the least of my concerns, I am more concerned with them stealing my vote using the Diebold machine check this out [link to external website removed] and check this out! [link to external website removed]
and remember- research people, its okay to get involved but choose wisely!
I'M TO SMART TO LET THIS MAKE ME MAD. BLACK PPL THE ONLY WAY THE WORD [EXPLETIVE] OR SAMBO OR WHATEVER MAKE U MAD WHEN IT COMES OUT A WHITE PERSON MOUTH IS WHEN YOU HAVE NO KNOWLEDGE OF THE WORD STILL OR THE ACTIONS THAT WHITES BEEN DISPLAYING FOR THE LONGEST TIME. THEY MAKE WAFFLE MIX SO WHAT, LET THEM BE RACIST OR IGNORANT. WHAT U DO IS MAKE SURE YOU, AND YOUR FRIENDS AND FAMILY IS REGISTERED TO VOTE.
DON'T JUST REGISTER PPL. WE NEED YOU TO GET UP AND GO VOTE ON NOV.4TH. ALSO BLACK PPL ESPECIALLY THE WOMEN. I DON'T CARE IF IT'S RAINING OUTSIDE. GET YO ASS UP AND GO VOTE. FORGET ABOUT YOUR HAIR GETTING WET OR YOUR WAVES MESSING UP. I'M SERIOUS, CUZ THEY DID A REPORT ON BLACK WOMEN NOT EXERCISING AND THE NUMBER ONE REASON A LOT OF OUR WOMEN DON'T EXERICE IS THAT ON SATURDAYS INSTEAD OF GOING TO THE GYM THEY GO TO THE SALON AND THEY DON'T WANT TO SWEAT OUT THEIR HAIR DOING THE WEEK. SMH
SO PLEEEEEEEEASE GO VOTE NOV. 4TH.
Lou-Dobbs is such a Racist jerk. He talk's about immigrants, and african Americians all the time as if his race as White only have education and etc. I hope his racist, prejudice, independent reject ass gets fired to. I can't stand Sean Hannity, Pat B, Bill O'Reilly and Larry King. They are all conservative stuck up Republician who doesn't give a damn about the middle class and poor class. FIRED THOSE OLD HEADS!!
CHUH!!! MTO!!! Aren't you gonna THANK ME..YOUR FAITHFUL READER for posting this yesterday? :) Hmmm..Anyway, here is the rest of the info:
The box even comes w/ a Recipie RAP SONG thats suppose to represent cooking instructions!!!
Here are better pics (including the top of the box as well as the rap lyrics)

This is what Dobbs said about the Waffles:
.."My wife will love this" ...Too bad his wife is a MEXICAN AMERICAN. hmmm.."
---------------------------------------------
THIS IS MORE INFO ABOUT HER:
SHOCKER : Lou Dobb's wife is Mexican-American
This evening on CBS's "60 Minutes" Lesley Stahl interviewed the CNN anti-Mexican xenophobe Lou Dobbs. At one point in the interview Ms. Stahl commented, ". . . given the tone of his show, there's something even more surprising, something he never brings up: the fact that his wife Debi is Mexican-American."
This is quite a shock to many Mexican immigrants who have learned to dislike Dobbs because of his constant hate-mongering against what he calls criminal illegal aliens. He recently insinuated that America has the capability of rounding up all undocumented Mexicans and deporting them. Dobbs has become the "hero" of anti-Mexican xenophobes around the country.
Lou Dobbs has twin daughters with Debi whose maiden name is Segura. Mexican blood runs in the veins of his daughters, Hillary and Heather, yet he never mentions this on his anti-immigration CNN shows.
Lou and Debi Dobbs resides on a 300-acre horse farm in Sussex County, New Jersey with her Mexican parents and his mother. Leslie Stahl showed the parents of his wife and they looked totally Mexican.
About 4 years ago Debi Dobbs was arrested at the Newark Liberty International Airport after airport security found a loaded gun she was carrying in her handbag. She was charged with criminal possession of a weapon. After being fingerprinted and photographed by Port Authority Police, Debi Dobbs was released without bail. Mrs. Dobbs faced arraignment in a Newark court but the outcome of the case is not generally known.

------------------------------------
...AND FINALLY...
A lot of Mexican Americans can't stand Dobbs this is a summary of what a lot have them have been saying for years:
"I don't care if Lou Dobbs is married to POCAHANTAS, he is a WHITE SUPREMACIST. Being married to a Mexican doesn't give him the license to trash our people. And his wife is nothing more than a traitor for staying married to that Klan member in a suit."
- A Mexican blogger
pAF SAID... He is anti ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION and pro LEGAL IMMIGRATION, there is a difference so get your facts straight. The difference is those that come here legally and those who come here illegally and take jobs from American citizens by working or $2.00 an hour. So get your facts straight MTO...
------------------------------
@ PAF,
..AND WHO IS TO BE BLAMED FOR THAT? 9X OUT OF 10 ITS THE SAME AMERICANS THAT ARE GIVING THEM WORK!! IF THEY REALLY RESPECTED "AMERICAN BROTHERHOOD" THEY WOULDN'T PUT CHEAPNESS BEFORE THAT!! SECONDLY, I SEE MANY AMERICANS (ESP. AFRICAN AMERICAN MEN) WHO REFUSE TO TAKE THE JOBS THAT THEY'RE COMPLAINING ABOUT BEING STOLEN. THEY WOULD RATHER HANG ON THE CORNER AND SELL DRUGS OR SOMETHING AND RISK GOING TO PRISON AND LEAVING THEIR FAMILIES. MIND YOU, THEY WOULD ACTUALLY BE PAID THE "MINIMUM WAGE" AND NOT THE ACTUAL $2.00 THAT MEXICAN AMERICANS RECEIVE. A MORE FAIR ARGUMENT WOULD BE THAT ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION PROMOTES TERRORISM OR HARBORS UNDOCUMENTED CRIMINALS.
TROOPER,
LMAOOOO..(about their hair getting wet) LOL I don't think THATS the reason why most don't but maybe some LOL..Anyway, you have a point (as usual) but this man is one of the few life long VOCAL Rep.'s thats on there (he claims that he's Independent now)and he has his own show where he spews some of his thoughts (like how he even crazily voted for Bush) so I think that this is important..I expect this from FAUX and no doubt I know that he's entitled to his own "PERSONAL" opinions but he has something that most blatant racists don't ...MEDIA LEVERAGE. That makes him different because he can have his Klan Rallys over the airwaves...Last night I saw so many sites linking to the Waffles site and most of them were not even condeming it..THEY WERE ACTUALLY PROMOTING IT. Sadly, some of them were posted by some of my own Latino people!! What a damn shame!!
Just because you are against illegal immigrants does not mean you are racist. Obviouslly he isn't against Mexicans because he is married to one - he's against those who don't have papers. If you enter this country illegally, that is criminal so why would you criticize him for saying that. Some one called him a white-supreminist but most of the black "leaders" are black-supremenist. Al Sharpton, The whole NACCP, ect. I commend people like Martin luther King who wish for this country to not put anyone above another because of their race. As far as them depicting Obama as a Muslim - thats racist but As FAR AS BUG EYES AND BIG-LIPPED - HE LOOKS LIKE THE PICTURE ON THE BOX. PLAIN AS DAY. STOP TRYING TO LINK IT AS SOME AUNT GIMIMA RACIAL PROFILING
AND THE SAGA CONTINUES. ALL THE RACISTS ARE COMING OUT TO PLAY I SEE.
AS FOR THE IDIOTS WHO FOR SOME REASON WANT TO DEFEND THIS [EXPLETIVE], ONE QUESTION...DID BARACK OBAMA GIVE PERMISSION FOR HIS LIKENESS TO BE USED? IF NOT, SHUT THE PHUCK UP AND SMELL THE RACISM.
NOTHING IS WORE THAN IGNORANT ASSED BLACK PEOPLE WHO REFUSE TO TAKE OFF THE BLINDERS.
paf, how do immigrants coming to work for 2.00 an hour take jobs from Americans? are any Americans working for 2/hr?
Lou Dobbs, has a White-Mexican wife that protects him to a degree from getting criticism.
Dobbs, likes Black people who adhere to white supremacy..... black people who believe that a white-european majority keeps America together and strong.
the reason why people like Lou Dobbs doesn't like immigration(whether legal or illegal) is because he doesn't want the United States of America's demographics to change.
and let me speak on MTO, why do yall promote ignorance on this site? Gossip, and entertainment news is one thing but yall steady promoting ignorant [EXPLETIVE] on this website.... tearing down black celebrities who are actually representing in a positive light.
this is NOT a surprise. Lou Dobb's old ass it one of the most racist anchors on TV. I think he hates Mexicans and Blacks..I watch his wack ass show occasionally just see if he can go a show with out talking about immigrants...he can't. I'm not even Mexican but it bothers me.
He should just retire somewhere in Alaksa, where there are no blacks or hispanics.
I FOR ONE WOULD NEVER COMPLAIN ABOUT ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS IN THE US TAKING JOBS FROM ME BECAUSE I DONT WORK AT 7/11!! ILLEGALS DON'T STEAL "CORPORATE" OR "UPPER" JOBS THAT REQUIRE HIGHER EDUCATION!! THATS ANOTHER REASONN WHY YOU SHOULDN'T COMPLAIN BECAUSE YOU HAVE OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BETTER EDUCATION HERE. ASK YOURSELF WHY YOUR COMPETING W/ AN ILLEGAL AND THEN SEE IF YOU FEEL BETTER ABOUT YOURSELF!!!
if you are taking time to call cnn to have him fired because of something like this..its you who need to be checked...hes not having any effect on my personal situation or community situation...hes holding the obama waffles...so what....
Lou dobbs actually touches on a few topics that are taboo in the tell lie vision newz..
people complain about lou dobbs but not the people in their immediate community messing things up
chill
I think that many of these black Americans that are posting about losing jobs fail to realize that even if Latinos weren't "taking over" they would probably STILL be disenfranchised when it comes to work. Do you honestly think that Latinos are your biggest problem in this country?!? I HOPE NOT!! It starts with issues within' the smaller Black American Community and then it extends to the the rest of the country. Think about it, in this day and age, Jill will likely be picked for a job before Shaniqua just because of her name..Is that because of Juan, Julio, or Hector?
To those hating on my avi-one word: B!CTHES!!!
LMAO! (Notice there are no MEN complaining...and since I'm not down with the L-word, me nah care!!!)
It's just a pic of me after clubbing in my freakum dress. What is it about my dress that evokes such HATE??? LOL!!! Not like I really care!! Just like Katt Williams said: if I got 12 b!tches hating on me now, I need to figure out how to get to 15 by the summer...I'm well on my way!!!
What some black people still don't seem to get and that it is business as usual in Amerikkka. White Supremacist like Sean Hannity for example are emboldened more and more with the possibility of Barack Obama becoming President of the United States. The idea is to much for them to stomach so they only behave in the only way they know how and that is through their hate. The men that created this knew exactly what they were doing. When you have no respect for the group that you intentionally set out to offend you will offend again and again each time with more intensity.
All maistream media is foul. Most of the news anchors who are worth a spit a part of the COUNCIL on FOREIGN RELATIONS which is a group instrumental in the progress of a ONE WORLD GOVERNMENT. Pay close attention because all the signs are coming to pass. So whether it's CNN or FOX you shouldn't align yourself with either one because they are truly in it together...REALTALK!
This is asinine. Just because he's AGAINST illegal immigration and is married to a Mexican does not make him prejudiced. That's like a white person being married to a black person and speaking out against inner city crime. Or a black person being married to a white person and speaking out against elitism in the white community. People do have brains outside of who they marry.
I'm against illegal immigration too and from what I've seen, Lou tries to find out everything he can about it in the U.S!
Man don't y'all know if you fire one racist, there are a 100 more?! This is America and people like him are going to keep breedin' everyday. Sad but it's the truth!!!
But if y'all really wanna fire some racist, start with Fox News cause them fools is red. Talk about racist. LOL! This is lightweight compare to fox news!!!
i was a huge fan of lou dobbs and i am a very big barack obama supporter. then during the primaries when barack was battling hillary clinton. i noticed that, lou the self proclaimed 'independent', was really beating obama down. i noticed he hardly criticized clinton. now during the race for the white house, i have noticed that between obama and mclame, he is constantly targeting obama and not really digging into mcbushe's ass. i started to suspect some hidden racial tendencies, and this just might confirm my suspicions. i admire lou for his stance on the working man and woman in this country, his commitment to ending outsourcing, govt regulation on products coming from china, and stopping illegals from coming over here and weighing down our medicaid and social security, hospitals. but i have really be disappointed with his views during this election and he seems very biased towards the white candidates.
all Lou Dodds talks about is how many immigrants need to be deported and there should be police stopping people that is suspected to be illegal, now how will the police know someone is illegal, by looking at them. If Lou Doddbs ratings are in the tank why is the network keeping him there, he goes on and on about the same thing every evening, he obviously have a hatred for people that is different to him. One of these days that hag will just disappear off the network.He's trying to maintain the old boys club.
Sean Hannity, Lou dodds, and a couple others are all racists and haters of people of different cultures and backgrounds. They use the network to spread that hatred and the networks like fox and others let these men get away with it. They are steaming at the collars, but regardless of what they say people will still come to this country, the blacks, the Carribbean people and make their lives better. Many of them dont want to remain in this country, we just come to work and better our lives back in our homeland, so go to hell Lou Dodds, Sean Hannity and all you other hate mongers, you cant stop a determine person from getting along in life, you guys must realize it take all kinds of people to make this world what it is, not just a few white men who sit around and talk garbage all night and spread hatred.The grim reaper will remove you all one of these days.
