Lou Dobbs believes his enemies are being inflamed by the liberal media
​After getting a series of threatening phone calls, CNN host Lou Dobbs claims someone shot at his Wantage, New Jersey home earlier this month. Dobbs said on his radio show that he was outside with his wife when someone shot at the house on October 5.

"This shot was fired with my wife not, I don't know, 15 feet away, and we had threatening phone calls that I decided not to report because I get threatening phone calls."

New Jersey State police were called to the home that day after Dobbs and his wife heard gunfire. The bullet struck the side of the house and fell to the ground. It's now being analyzed. "We're not sure what the intended target was," Sgt. Steve Jones told Fox News. "It's still under investigation..."

In most celebrity attacks, the perpetrator is usually an obsessed person with mental problems. But Dobbs believes he's being targeted by people who oppose his views on immigration -- and who are being inflamed by that one-size fits all boogeyman, the "liberal media."

The formerly respected financial show host has turned his CNN show into a non-stop harangue against illegal immigration over the past few years. It's caused some to label him obsessively alarmist, while others believe he's engaged in thinly veiled race-baiting.

No matter which way you see it, Dobbs believes people are taking vengeance because of those views. And the flames are being fanned by his enemies in the media. "They've created an atmosphere and they've been unrelenting in their propaganda," he says, adding that the shots "followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls."

"It's become a way of life -- the anger, the hate, the vitriol -- but it's taken a different tone where they've threatened my wife," he told his radio audience. "They've now fired a shot at my house while my wife was standing next to the car. It's become something else. And if anybody thinks we're not engaged in a battle for the soul of this country right now, you're sorely mistaken."
