THIS JUST IN: LOU DOBBS QUITS CNN

Everyone is falling over themselves putting it on their blogs, so let us get in on the fun. Lou Dobbs, the white supremacist-coddling, anti-immigration promoting racist over at CNN has worn out his welcome with a lot of people with his crap, and just a few hours ago, Lou Dobbs gave in and announced he was leaving CNN after 30 years. Dobbs, as he points out in his statement that he was one of the original CNN anchors, and he went on to do programs that were rather benign, like Moneyline, to out and out race-hatred propaganda, like his current program Lou Dobbs Tonight. Lady Liberty’s Lamp gives us the lowdown – not to mention what it really means to everyone. Let this not be the last one feeling the pressure.

Lady Liberty’s Lamp

Yep, CNN’s own right wing hate monger is leaving as he announced today, from World Business News ….

This will be my last broadcast here on CNN, where I’ve worked for most of the past 30 years, and where I have many friends and colleagues whom I admire deeply and respect greatly.

I’m the last of the original anchors here on CNN and I’m proud to have had the privilege to helping to build the world’s first news network.

I’m grateful for the many opportunities that CNN has given me over these many years. I’ve tried to reciprocate with a full measure of my ability and my energy.

Over the past six months it’s become increasingly clear that strong winds of change have begun buffeting this country and affecting all of us, and some leaders in media, politics and business have been urging me to go beyond the role here at CNN and to engage in constructive problem solving as well as to contribute positively to the great understanding of the issues of our day. And to continue to do so in the most honest and direct language possible.

I’ve talked extensively with Jonathan Klein — Jon’s the president of CNN — and as a result of those talks, Jon and i have agreed to a release from my contract that will enable me to pursue new opportunities.

At this point, I’m considering a number of options and directions, and I assure you, I will let you know when I set my course. I truly believe that the major issues of our time include the growth of our middle class, the creation of more jobs, health care, immigration policy, the environment, climate change, and our military involvement, of course, in Afghanistan and Iraq.

But each of those issues is, in my opinion, informed by our capacity to demonstrate strong resilience of our now weakened capitalist economy and demonstrate the political will to overcome the lack of true representation in Washington, D.C.

I believe these to be profoundly, critically important issues, and I will continue to strive to deal honestly and straightforwardly with those issues in the future.

Unfortunately, these issues are now defined in the public arena by partisanship and ideology rather than by rigorous, empirical thought and forthright analysis and discussion. I’ll be working diligently to change that as best i can. And as for the important work of restoring inspiration to our great free society and our market economy, I will strive as well to be a leader in that national conversation.

It’s been my great honor to work with each and every person at this wonderful network. I will be eternally grateful to CNN, to Ted Turner, and to all of my colleagues and friends, and of course to you at home. I thank you, and may God bless you.

Translation: My hate is no longer welcome in an intelligent and progressive society therefore I am going to “Faux News” where they make crap up and hate minorities openly
