CNN announced Thursday that it had fired commentator Marc Lamont Hill after he gave a speech at the United Nations in which he used language critics describe as a dog whistle advocating the elimination of Israel.

"Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN," a spokesperson for the cable network told Fox News.

FoxNews re-made the noxious Al Sharpton into much more of a national figure, at a time when he had (correctly) become largely marginalized due to his hateful rhetoric and actions. One reason I stopped watching any FoxNews many years ago was because they provided so much unjustified national credibility to leftist scumbags.

Wow! When a commentator is dropped by FNN for what he says maybe pigs do fly.

I’m so tired of the over use of the stoopid term “Dog Whistle”. Let’s find some big person words to use to describe what we wish to convey.

[chaosagent]

The whole ‘from the river to the sea’ thing means from the Jordan River to the Mediterrean, i.e all of Israel.

[jazusamo]

I hear you, it’s really getting old.

[TexasM1A]

I think Fox quite using him after it qas found out he was a plagiarist.

[Rummyfan]

Yeah, and that other fraud Michael Eric Dyson is at Georgetown I believe.

[murron]

Mostly Bill O’Reilly if I remember correctly.

There’s a limit to how much antisemitism the Left can tolerate, as they still need Jews to fund their destruction of America. Don’t get me wrong, the Left HATES ISRAEL and wants it destroyed, but if they’re too open about it, it actually hurts that cause rather than helps it.

Obviously this guys crossed that line.

[TBP]

He didn’t do anything wrong by “progressive” standards. I can’t figure out why he got fired.

Yes

[kiryandil]

Little Lamont appears to be a racist, anti-Semitic terrorist sympathizer.

Check his locker at the mosque.

Palestine from river to sea, endorsing terrorism, that's not a bridge too far for CNN, but apparently a little too far. Mark will have to learn to code a little better at his next dig.

[MarMema]

"From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," a slogan that encapsulates activists' desire to see the Jewish State wholly replaced by a Palestinian one that would fill the borders of the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea.

“I believe Fox shows had this guy on as a guest many times?”

Yeah he was on BOR

[onyx]

BOR was infatuated with smarmy, arrogant Mark Lamont Hill. His viewers hated him and I remember Professor Hill was often the subject of BOR's viewer mail.

Although CNN fired him, His major employer, Temple University, said today that his position is secure. THAT figures.

[wardaddy]

I know that but is that grounds for firing from a left wing organization

I suspect there is more than just his anti Zionism zeal

Leftists are chock full of anti Israel people including many many Jews

Hill ruffled some feathers with more than. Just that.

I suspect

What he says about whites is far worse than what he said about the Israel Palestinian conflict.....and nobody batted an eye

Hell ORelily had him on regularly.

You know if Israel were run by a socialist these cretins would adore the place

[Osage Orange]

They will hire him back.....................
