Don't make him angry. You won't like him if he's angry. Lou Dobbs at a Tea Party event in April in New York. (AP/Mary Altaffer)
by Kathleen Hennessey
And in more tea party news ... Lou Dobbs, formerly of CNN and now of unknown political ambitions, will be headlining the second National Tea Party Convention to be held in Las Vegas in July. (Apparently by people who haven't spent much time in Las Vegas in July.)
The convention is organized by Tea Party Nation and is a reprise of the Nashville meeting, which got criticized for its pricey tickets and pricier headliner. (Sarah Palin charged organizers more than $100,000 for her appearance.) No word on what Dobbs' speaking fee is.
He'll be joined at the convention by World Net Daily's Joseph Farah, an interesting choice for a "unity convention." Tea Party Nation's Judson Phillips acknowledges as much in his announcement on Farah.
"While he can be a polarizing figure, his message of unity within the Tea Party movement will be well-received," Phillip said.

Lou Dobbs?!?!
I'm guessing that the Tea Klux Klaner's will be wearing their best white sheets for this big event.

All the Teabaggers need now is Orly Taitz, Breibart, Glenn Beck, Michelle Bachmann and Palin and they’ll have bundled all the right wing crazy into one ground zero.
The Teabaggers don't want to be called right-wing nutjobs, but they keep hiring right-wing nutjobs to headline their fake outrage rallies.....I mean, conventions.
F A I L !

If you watched 5 minutes of him on CNN you would've seen this coming from a mile-a-way.
If the tea party ever wants to have legs, they should break off from the pug nipple and make their own party....one of social liberalism combined with fiscal conservatism and they might just be more than a footnote in the history books. BUT, that would mean alienation of Carboob barbie and the other bible thumping part of this movement.

Kathleen, I've been to Las Vegas in July and in August. 100 to 105 each and every day and love it that way!

Oh brother.... Kevin your comment shows a bit of naivete.
Please remember it's YOUR party's benefactor who worked for the NAZIS and the more you talk like that the less credibility you have.. name calling and all.
Remember this is ONE group having a convention, which they have a right to do.
There are thousands of other groups across the country... why there are at least 35 separate groups in NH alone!

Too funny! I would have never guessed he is associated with the Tea Party. I thought he would go for "Independent." I guess I could be wrong, occasionally. . .lol

Kathleen, why do you think people go to Vegas? For the snow?
Nope, go back to start and lose a turn.
Ah, liberals meltdown all across the board. Oil spill, Armedinajihad holding hands with Turkish leaders who are dissin' the US because of pantywaist Obowdown. Iran's gonna get the bomb. Isn't it great that all those countries "respect" us now that the apologizer in chief has (lectured) spoken? Pelosi, has a dream of making us all musicians. When does Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland pop up and say "let's make play." GM is still losing billions. Housing prices are going lower, delayed by years of wasted government incentives of $8,000 for an unlucky buyer. How about that great cash for (junk) Clunkers? That really got the car companies back on their feet...
I have learned that doctors will chop off your foot to make an extra buck or two, or pop out your children's tonsils...gotta watch them damn surgeons, per Obama. He's an expert on healthcare for you and me you know, just like Nancy Pelosi. She's so smart. Everybody should trust her with their health. After all Obama and Pelosi convinced hundreds of congressmen and women and those stars of the senate to vote for Obamacare, that is going to save us...NO SORRY going to cost us billions and bil, NO SORRY Trillions, NO SORRY, cost us? the whole tamale. All in? Yep, one bet. Win or lose, Nancy will be there for you. She's in SF living the dream: singing in all girl group.

Love the snarky comments Kathleen. Why should the "attitude" be confined to the comments section?

RoMo: Your raps aren't very fresh. You seem to recycle the same lyrics. Maybe collaborate with 50 or Eminem to inject some new blood into your rhymes b4 you drop them on us again.
