I hope Lou goes down for spreading the birther meme.

More here.

3. I gave up on Dobbs so long ago. Happily someone posted Stewart harpooning that whale the other nigh
night where Kitty Pilgrim (PILGRIM!) debunked that crap right on Dobb's own show. :D

Media, 12/13/2000-present ... "Hey, Bush is president. No problem."

6. Did you see some of the tweets in this article?

8. Wow. Thanks! I have always been sort of inadverdantly tweetphobiic. No more. I like this tweet:
"2300+ posts, and they're still coming in. 99.9% blasting Lou. If all of us wrote to CNN, maybe they would listen. Please take a moment to do this"

9. Typical, shallow dobb's viewer. "Mainstream" seems to have ...
become the code word for racist, bigot, homophobic, xenophobic "real" amurikan.

7. Lou Dobbs is a racist, homophobic, xenophobic ass...
and has been for years. He's been a staple of the CNN lineup for ratings only. Another CNN 'For your entertainment pleasure, (to cut into the FUX News revenue and pay some bills), we give all you racist bigots a full hour of Lou Dobbs, before the liberal, silver spooner, gay guy takes over'.

CNN has really took a nose dive over the years. They could have been a relevant source of "real news" instead, they took the lindsey lohan, paris hilton tabloid route. Shame on CNN.

10. I personally thought CNN lost credibility when it hired Glen Beck
I can't remember...Did CNN sack Beck or did he jump to FOX?
