MSNBO agrees.

Simon Rosenberg, president of the National Democratic Network (NDN), says CNN’s Lou Dobbs should leave CNN and go to work for Fox News Channel.
Rosenberg made the remark Tuesday during a panel discussion on immigration reform at NDN’s headquarters in Washington, D.C.
“I hope that one thing we can all agree with today is that it’s time to get Lou Dobbs off CNN and put him on FOX where he belongs, I think – just like Glenn Beck,” he told the audience. “I mean, I think Glenn Beck has paved the trail for Lou Dobbs, and I hope that we can see him go.”
Rosenberg also criticized the Republican Party for coming to power through the “exploitation of racial fear.”
“Their core play in their playbook was the exploitation of racial fear,” said Rosenberg. “That’s different from racism. I’m not arguing that the Republicans have been a racist party.”
He painted the GOP as “out of touch” with today’s demographics and related this to the current immigration debate.
“There can be no question that the demonization of immigrants – the way that Willie Horton was used in the 1988 presidential election,” he said. “You go back to the welfare queens and the welfare reform debate – what was happening was the Republicans were arguing that we are with you and the Democrats are with them – them being that sociological other that is lesser than, right?”
“It is my belief that this immigration debate is really going to give the Republicans one of their only significant opportunities to make it clear that they are repudiating a political strategy that has led them to today having no African-American members of Congress who are Republican and four Cuban Hispanics from Florida, and one temporary Vietnamese member from Louisiana,” said Rosenberg.
He could replace Shep Smith at FOX.
Do they really think CNN is going to get rid of its single, remaining, successful anchor? Especially when he is earning them all kinds of free publicity?
FINE, like that CNN could be completly on the left!
FREE SPEECH anyone?
Then CNN’s ratings would REALLY go into the toilet.
Hey Rosenberg. Only intellectual midgets fear open discussion and free speech. Obviously you are an intellectual midget. But then, you’re a liberal, so I repeat myself.
If he goes then CNN becomes truly forgettable.
These mutts don’t even recognize their own intolerance.
CNN International is by far more dangerous than Dobbs could ever hope to be here in the US.
CNN International is the political arm of the far far left and promotes anti-American, anti-freedom, and anti-Israel positions.
why not just send some union thugs over to roll him?
The dems have done their best to paint everybody against illegal immigration as anti-latino. The problem they have is that while the vast majority of dems and a handful of repubs push amnesty, the majority of the country, including dem voters, are against it.
Pretty much an open admission that the left only wants filtered and pre-censored points-of-view coming from their propaganda outlets.
Heaven forbid CNN have any moderates among their ranks.
Simon Rosenberg, the founder of NDN, is a card-carrying member of the far left fringe of the Democrat Party. He is a nut case.
Dobb’s and his wife both own guns maybe a visit with those bright purple shirts would make a nice day for target practice. Better yet visit him at his farm I am sure he has a nice long rifle on hand.
The Democrat Press Corps have a quota that must be met to facilitate the appearance of neutrality. Every network must balance every 30 left-wing “journalist” with 1 (preferably feckless, see George Will) right-of-center personality. Lou is getting uppity so they may have to search for a replacement.
Hey, I know, isn’t that Buckley kid lookin’ for a job?
Don’t doubt that this guy speaks for the Administration.
