Obama Slams Rush Limbaugh and Lou Dobbs For Being Responsible For Hate Crimes Against Hispanics

Palm Beach Post reports:
More than 800 donors packed into a Westin Diplomat Hotel ballroom Thursday night to pad Barack Obama’s war chest by another $500,000, according to this pool report of the evening.

In a speech to the crowd, Obama sharpened his rhetoric against some of the most vocal voices against immigrant workers and migrant worker programs.

“A certain segment has basically been feeding a kind of xenophobia. There’s a reason why hate crimes against Hispanic people doubled last year,” Obama said. “If you have people like Lou Dobbs and Rush Limbaugh ginning things up, it’s not surprising that would happen.”

Why do we get the feeling that an Obama Presidency will bring back the "Fairness Doctrine" to get the airwaves to have the political diversity of the Chicago Democratic Machine?
