Sgt. Jones, a spokesperson for the New Jersey State Police, confirmed that a bullet was found which struck the siding of Dobbs’ house. However, he pointed out that Dobbs’ residence is located in a “very rural” area. “With hunting season starting up,” such incidents are “not at all uncommon,” Jones told us.

Is someone angry enough at Lou Dobbs to shoot at his house? ThinkProgress says it’s more likely Dick Cheney was hunting nearby

I have reasons to doubt Lou Dobbs. Why didn’t he report harassing calls to the police before this incident? One call, maybe I’d let it go; but a second or third call ? That would have me worried enough to, well, call someone.

My hunch is that Dobbs is playing up a this episode for attention the same way Beck did last week. Even if there is someone gunning for Dobbs, it’s probably a regular viewer. When you talk about fringe issues, you attract fringe fans; but if you aren’t fringy enough for them, they can turn on you. Because they’re insane. It’s the price of stovepiping Teh Crazy™.
