Seriously, did someone at CNN start this as a way to increase CNN ratings?
Why does he keep putting illegal immigration in scare quotes?
The reasoning used in this piece is about 4th grade level.
Plunge? Might I ask where they would plunge to? LOL!
"I happen to think Dobbs is an absolute worthless piece of human flesh."
So, are you in favor of unlimited illegal immigration?
Thread is for information/humor.
Write Fox News Channel and tell them you want Lou Dobbs on their channel.
Well if the rest of the US threatens to boycott AOL if they ax Lou Dobbs, then Time Warner will really have a pickle on their hands.
Why would FOXNEWS hire Dobbs? Cavuto's ratings are much higher than his, even though he's on an hour earlier.
Uh oh, they just started a national campaign to kick savedbygrace off FR(-:
This idiot couldn't be further from the truth. It's NOT against ANY race. It's AGAINST ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION, but this jerk is trying to turn it into a race thing, because race really moves people into action!! THIS tactic is exactly what they are going to do EVERY TIME that they want something, IF we give them amnesty. They're DEMANDING RIGHTS when they don't even have any, so it's a scary glimpse into the future. Can you imagine how DEMANDING they would be once they were citizens? We HAVE to stop them at all costs!!!
I wish those idiot congress critters weren't so blind!!! In their sheltered little world they don't see what's happening, but once they are thrown out of office and have to move back to reality street, then it's going to hit them just what they've done. THAT will be too late!!!!!
Dobbs has a habit of pissing people off. Remember these?
Sounds a like a pretty good dude..

CNN DOBBS ON HOT SEAT AFTER CALL FOR WAR ON ' ISLAMISTS'
CNN star Lou Dobbs hit maximum controversy after calling for a 'War Against Islamists.'
Dobbs made the comments Wednesday evening during the opening segment of his MONEYLINE program, which airs worldwide on CNN.
Dobbs: "The government and media for the past nine months have called this a war against terror. So have we here. But terror is not the enemy. It is what the enemy wants to achieve. So on this broadcast, we are making a change... in the interests of clarity and honesty. The enemies in this war are radical Islamists who argue all non-believers in their faith must be killed. They are called Islamists. That's why we are abandoning the phrase, "War Against Terror". Let us be clear. This is not a war against Muslims or Islam. It is a war against Islamists and all who support them. If ever there were a time for clarity, it is now. We hope our new policy is a step in that direction."
The comments immediately ignited angry phone calls to CNN, according to insiders.
With stunned viewers from Arab countries registering strong complaints.
The Dobbs comments -- which were not labeled commentary -- remained intact during reruns of MONEYLINE.
CNN News Group Chairman Walter Isaacson and Dobbs on Thursday both agreed that Dobbs should explore the "War Against Islamists" -- but in the commentary portion of his show.
Developing...
Dobbs left CNN in 2000, reportedly due to heated clashes with its president, Rick Kaplan, one of which actually occurred on-air when Kaplan wanted to cut from Moneyline to a live address by Bill Clinton at Columbine, which Dobbs believed was a staged event and not newsworthy.
Greta has the highest rated show in her time slot. In fact, all the FOXNEWS shows, from 4:00-10:00 PM CST, are the highest rated in their time slots.
There's not a chance that anybody will go anywhere, with those kinds of ratings.
This is convoluted, more like random violence and destruction. I prefer random acts of kindness.
"Hopefully to replace Greta."

I never thought this would really happen but I can hope, can't I. Greta's show defines the word "hollow".
No thanks, he is not that impressive. You know, the thing about the clock being right twice a day.
