1. Ya Know What's Funny, what's killing us......

......That we SUCCEEDED in getting you fired, you paranoid, xenophobic, racist, hatemongering, conspiracy-nut jackass.

Go over to Fox News. You'll like it better there. And sure, we'll take Geraldo Rivera and Sheperd Smith off your hands, so that all of Fox IS lying, hateful, racist angry white guys who don't like the fact that America is changing in ways that don't agree with their skewed values.

[Double T]

2. Guess you don't like different opinions.

For firing Lou, CNN has been removed from my television.

[SaveOurDemocracy]

3. Different opinions?? Lou had left reality farrrrrr behind. n/t

[Hissyspit]

4. Differing Opinions vs. Illegitimate Opinions

Dobbs turned into a goofball. CNN let Beck go, too. Do you think they should have kept him?

[eagertolearn]

15. Was Beck on CNN?

[Hissyspit]

16. Yes.

Two and half years.

Wikipedia: "In January 2006, CNN's Headline News announced that Beck would host a nightly news-commentary show in their new prime-time block Headline Prime. The show, simply called Glenn Beck, aired weeknights at 7:00 p.m., repeating at 9:00 p.m. and midnight (all times Eastern) from May 8, 2006 to October 16, 2008."

5. Questioning the president's place of birth and railing against

Latino's everday, isn't much of an opinion. I would call it hate fueled garbage that doesn't belong on any legitimate news station.

7. Lou Dobbs is a bigot who long ago left sanity at the curb.

Hence, I'm glad CNN decided to reclaim their honor and fire that idiot. I don't have a problem with different opinions, by any stretch. I do have a problem with hatemongering idiots, which is what Lou Dobbs has become.

[Turborama]

8. I'm curious, what's remaining on your television? n/t

[Double T]

17. NO fox, NO cnn, NO msnbc, NO cnbc.

I'll get my news from reading on the internet and print. Propaganda networks; RW network, LW network, RW&LW network, wall street cheerleader network and other networks with an agenda are gone.

[Grassy Knoll]

6. GOTCHA, HAHAHAHA. go fuck a goat !! n/t

[BEZERKO]

13. A YAK!!!

[tooeyeten]

9. so, was he fired?

[davidpdx]

10. Hey Lou...

ever stop to think that you are the one that is crazy?

[Enthusiast]

11. Although I felt he was obsessed

with the illegal immigration issue it was the birther nonsense that put Lou over the top for me.

[ProgressOnTheMove]

12. He broght himself down in not recognizing how diverse the US is becoming same story for the GOP.

[DFW]

14. Yeah, it just killed us, alright

But that's OK. We didn't have to force anything. Lou Dobbs and his crazy rantings convinced CNN
to do that all on their own. Now if we could only "force" them to get rid of Wolf Blitzer and Candy
Crowley--the "second worst political team on television."
