Dobbs Defends Birther Advocacy: "Seems To Me Still A Perfectly Commonsense Question"

[struggle4progress]

Former CNN anchor Lou Dobbs .. In a recent interview with Esquire magazine .. lashed out against the "extreme Left" for attacking what he continues to view as a perfectly reasonable request:

I ask a question, and I am attacked from the extreme Left as a quote-unquote birther. I mean, what the hell is that? When you can create a controversy by asking what seems to me still a perfectly commonsense question? It has been used in the extreme Left to create a toxicity that is just unbelievable.

This past summer, Dobbs didn't just question President Obama's citizenship and promoted the bizarre right-wing "birther" theory, he also insinuated that Obama might be an undocumented immigrant. Many have speculated that Dobbs left CNN in part because his support of the "birther" movement incited conflict between himself and CNN's leadership ...

2. Sorry

:(

In my own defense, I will point out that I stuck this in the low-traffic out-of-the way Bush/Conservatives slums, so people with nothing better to do could drop by and see what our Republicans are doing nowadays

Just go away.

4. Poor ol’ Lou…

I used to have some respect for Lou, but now I think he’s a
foo… No really, I think he’s gone off his nut.  Loudobbs.com
wants me to pay him $50.00 to be Independent American?!?  I’m
not real sure about most people here, but I’ve been an
Independent all of my adult life and an American even longer
than that, but NOW I gotta pay Lou Dobbs $FIFTY BUCK$ to be
me?  HA!  Laughable! 

As I said, I used to have some respect for Lou Dobbs because I
thought he had an ounce of Independents in his little toe, but
now it seems he’s fallen victim to the wing-nuts.

Poor ol’ Lou…
