Hate delivered as news -- Stop CNN's Lou Dobbs!

Hate delivered as news -- Stop CNN's Lou Dobbs!

Jen Fad · Wednesday, July 29th 2009 at 2:29PM · 1431 views
Lou Dobbs is using his platform on CNN to revive paranoid conspiracy theories about whether President Obama was born in the U.S. While the question was put to rest long ago, Dobbs is pretending that this extremist nonsense is a legitimate national conversation. Intentionally or not, he is stoking the fires of racial fear and paranoia in the same way that the McCain/Palin campaign did when they cast Obama as "not one of us."2 Even after being called on this, Dobbs refuses to stop.

CNN, which is held in high regard by many Americans and describes itself as the "the most trusted name in news," is allowing one of its hosts to give legitimacy to debunked, racist conspiracy theories. Please join us in calling on CNN to dump Dobbs, and ask your friends and family to do the same: Join us in calling on CNN President Jonathan Klein to fire Dobbs now.

This is such nonsense, isn't it? Obama has the racists running scared.

On another note, have you seen this about the Town Hall meeting today?

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Sister Zana,
Thanks for posting the link to the teletowne hall meeting.
Brother Earl your dollar is worth a lot. President Obama is asking every American to contribute a dollar a day to combat the negative ads against Health Care Reform. I think your dollar is worth a whole lot. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/healthca...

Lou Dobbs has been against Obama from the time his campaign was sweeping Hillary's chances away. I couldn't see nothing but hatred in Dobbs for Obama despite Hillary's losing Dobbs showed not one pure interest in her winning other than he just didn't like Obama.

Wake up.

Jen,I wonder why Lou Dobbs is has chosen to go all out against the Republicans in Washington, D. C.as they have voted unamiously that our president's birth certificate is legal and has sort to put this racist agenda to rest?!?

And, could it be that Dobbs is trying to get in on the Rush Limbaugh's public air waves band wagon of being the darling of the right-wing? I am sure that rush's radio program is the highest rated right-wing program going...

at any rate Rush is one of the best when it comes down to eleminating voters from the Republican party right now, "I' do believe.(smile)

I must report that I just watched Ed on the Ed Show on msnbc out and out upped the anty on this race issue...he is asking his viewers if Glenn Beck is using Free Speech or is he using HATE SPEECH...his tex voters were majority HATE SPEECH!!!!!

thank you right-wing as this race discussion...

Jen, I know that you will be so proud that Fox is now trying to distance themselves from Gleen Beck. It seem that Fox has sent out a written statement about Beck does not represent their cable network.

Now can you beat this??! And, who does not have a contract with Beck over on the Fox cable news network?!? I guess not reigning in O'Reilly and Hannity could be used by Beck in a law suit when and if he ends up like Don Imus, FIRED!. Even losing some sponsors could not force FOX to stop Bill O'Reilly...THANK YOU REPUBLICAN RIGHT-WING(nuts)

Jen, I am sure that you and ColorOfChange needs to pat yourselves on the back..I know I do pat you on your backs and I also send you my love and respect(smile)

Well done Reginald,but when it comes to racism I do not believe that lie-truth, right-wrong has any barings, because a SMALL mind has only room for spicific inputs(smile)

It seem that the right-wing bigots allow, into their reality or their Stuck on Stupid planet the Republicans, only their 'talking points' and nothing else is allowed in PERIOD!!!!(smile)
