The competition was fierce. With perennial Fox News favorites like Sean Hannity and Tucker Carlson and the rabidly incoherent "Judge" Jeanine Pirro vying for the title, a longshot contender has emerged from the pack for a clear and unchallenged victory. Congratulations to Lou Dobbs.
While no one can dismiss the efforts by Hannity to relentlessly defend Donald Trump from any and all criticism, even to the point of appearing at his cult rallies to make his endorsement in public, it wasn't enough. And Carlson's ceaseless support for the white nationalism that is the foundation of Trump's base wasn't enough either. All of it, including the infantile babbling from the "Curvy Couch" potatoes of Fox and Friends, failed to knock Dobbs from his well deserved perch. Because how can you compete with material like this:
Charles Hurt, Washington Times: This is the entire problem that all of these people have. They all have been - have been peddling this fear-mongering, the end of the world nonsense.
Dobbs: Actually, the United Nations really wants to go a little bit beyond being a, if you will, a debate club. They'd like to take over the world. And they see the perfect opportunity in global warming. [...] despite the fact that there is great, great debate over whether there is that quote-unquote "warming."
That's right. The United Nations is actively pursuing a plot of world domination. And their dastardly scheme is centered on a determination to prevent the Earth from becoming inhospitable for living creatures. How underhanded and devious of them. And Dobbs calls out these villains who he says are ignoring the "great, great debate" about the reality of climate change that is currently raging among the three percent of scientists (and 97% of Fox News shills) who deny that it's happening. But this alone wouldn't have secured Dobbs this great honor. He also unleashed this epic idiocy:
Dobbs: What in hell is wrong with the American people that they don't understand this president deserves their support because he is trying to protect their lives and that of their children? [...] Why shouldn't it be frustrating to the American people to see [Trump] assailed every day? You're watching in Robert Mueller a man trying to kill him.
Those damn American people! Somebody needs to put an end to them. Maybe the U.N. Dobbs also wondered why every preacher and history teacher isn't talking about this and he ranted that "higher education is indoctrinating American students to become left-wing radicals." That's wrong because, according to Dobbs, they should should be indoctrinating those kids to worship Trump the Protector.
But worst of all, Dobbs has revealed the clandestine plot by the leader of the "Deep State" conspiracy, special counsel Robert Mueller, to actually assassinate the President. Why isn't anyone else talking about this? Isn't it obvious that Mueller is maneuvering himself and his "Band of Angry Democrats" (as Trump calls them) into position to shoot his lethal legal filings and deadly facts straight at Trump's bulbous, yet empty head?
Lou Dobbs really does deserve credit for beating out some pretty darn tough competitors for this honor. The "Most Deranged Lunatic" on Fox News was never going to be an easy award to capture. But Dobbs rose to the occasion and he's entitled to all the of the attention and ridicule that comes with it.
