Lou Dobbs and the Dead-End of White Anti-Corporate Populism

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/112706G.shtml

A taste…

Dobbs is often eloquent in his deep criticisms of corporate power in the USA, but he has trouble supporting anti-corporate movements that don’t fit his rightist ideological approach. Here is what he has to say about Venezuela and Bolivia, two countries with democratically-elected leaders who are serious about ending the dominance of rich elites in their countries: “Communist China is asserting its influence in the Western Hemisphere, building relationships with Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez, Bolivia’s Evo Morales, and of course, Cuba’s Fidel Castro.”

Yes, the mainstream media is pretty much allergic to the words “democracally elected” when talking about Chavez and Morales, preferring instead to lump him in with Castro… Ooooh … Scaaary!!!!!
