This followed by just a day a confrontation between Mr. Dobbs and a guest on his own program, Janet Murguia, the president of the Hispanic civil rights group National Council of La Raza, during which he lectured her on immigration policy.

"They fired him years ago mainly because of his non-liberal views only to have to eat crow and bring him back after two years of sinking ratings."

No, he quit to take a flyer on a dot-com. When it dot-bombed, he came crawling back.

He's a ratings whore who engages in immigrant bashing and plays to the doom-and-gloom crowd.

Do you disagree with Dobbs on illegal immigration?
