Lou Dobbs Left CNN Over Birther Issue

[WeDidIt]

:rofl:

I'm not linking to it because it is from World Nut Daily, but they're reporting that Lou Dobbs was in a battle with Jonathon Klein over his Birther crap and this is what eventually lead to Dobbs quitting.

They're also reporting that Fox is not interested in Dobbs.

Seems to me now the quickest way to destroy a career in journalism is for the said journalist to be a Birther.

:rofl:

1. Dobbs used to regularly fan the flamees of the birther mythology on

his show. There are clips of him saying "we don't know where he was born" This was in June of this year, if I recall.

2. I think the positive from this is most folks are in the Pres. Obama's corner just hoping things get

better job wise. Yeah they got one thing right it is Obama's nation and they're going ot have to adjust to that. One thing is for sure when it's all said and done they'll all be better for it, in more ways than they yet realize.

3. Maybe Lou is about to run away with Orly

We can always hope.

4. I think Fox is "not interested" only because -

they'd have to axe one of their current nutjobs to make room for Lou. They're not just going to shell out more money for him.

5. Contrary to the "It's All Good" meme from FAUX, I don't believe that

they have the millions to sink into another wingnut bully.

[donco6]

7. Me either.

Sorry Lou, you'll have to "off" Neil Cavuto to make a space.

If I were Neil, I'd be watching my back.

11. They could double 'em up ... "Hannity and Dobbs"

A show presenting a wide range of diverse opinion from batshit loony to Klan-worthy racist to utterly insane.

[marlakay]

18. they have enough old guys

fox likes to hire young blonds for the newer people.

[camera obscura]

6. Well that will look good thirty years from now

Imagine what they will say in his career retrospective. Probably whitewash that part out. I hope people won't be able to believe there were actual journalists who believed this bull.

8. He'll be the Tea Party's 2012 candidate for president

Mark my words

[WeDidIt]

10. The Tea Party emerging as a third party is very dangerous

for the GOP.

It blows their entire Southern Strategy as the Tea Party and the GOP will split the vote from the right and open up a path for Obama to win all 50 states + the District of Columbia.

13. The only way this doesn't happen is if the Republicans nominate

Palin, who obviously can't win a national election against another sentient being. I'm a lot more worried about the 2010-12 congressional races, especially if the economy continues to suck.

[smoogatz]

12. Palin/Dobbs 2012!!11!!!

Meanwhile, the Republicans will run some pathetic pseudo-centrist corporate ass-licker like Bobby "Kenneth" jindahl.

9. Lou Dobbs, Just Another Moran

goodbye good riddance

[donheld]

14. Bill Press and Ed Shultz think he'll run for Preznit

[slipslidingaway]

15. "Primary Kucinich. He's less trustworthy than ANY Blue Dog."

:wtf:

[Mz Pip]

16. Oh Dobbs will end up on Fox

Maybe not this week or this month, but he'll be there eventually.

Short attention span folks will take a couple of months to forget where they saw his silly face.

[Cha]

17. And another birfer bites the dust..

good job orly.
