PUSH BACK AGAINST LOU DOBBS - GET HIM CANNED
I'm tired of seeing this guy on CNN. Among myriad other idiotic statements, Dobbs has defended Glenn Beck against criticism for claiming that Obama is a "racist." An indefensible statement. For example, Dobbs said: "You know, Arthur Laffer is the guy who said we should be taxing what we don't want in this society and subsidizing that which we do. And there's Van Jones saying, 'Well, you know, you said something I don't like, so what are we gonna do? We'll just attack your sponsors.' That didn't work out so shiny for him, did it? So, by the way, I gotta say hats off to Glenn Beck for having the guts to stand up to this -- this morass of mediocrity and pure, pure ideology."

There are dozens of other wacko rants from Dobbs that don't need to be outlined here. He has gone off his rocker, literally.
SO WHY DON'T WE POLITELY ASK LOU DOBBS TO STEP DOWN?

HERE'S THE E-MAIL ADDRESS WE SHOULD ALL WRITE TO:

Email: lou.dobbs@turner.com

1. Please be polite; 2. Be specific about why you think Dobbs has lost touch with the CNN viewer; and 3. Ask CNN to kindly remove him (or trade him to Fox for John Stossel and a sixth round draft pick).

Thanks

1. Oh, man... I thought that said "Get him CANED."
Oh, well.

Canned is good too, I guess.

2. Wont do any good
Fox would pick him up and probably give him even more money than CNN pays him.

3. It would do good.
Being banished to Fox is a good thing. He doesn't belong on a legitimate news network.

5. Cnn has its problems with legitimacy
They're no Fox, but they certainly dont bend over backwards to support the Democrats either.

I dont like Dobbs, but getting him off CNN (where his profile is fairly low) only to have Fox pay him more and promote him as a result seems kinda stupid.

Doesnt anyone remember that Beck was a nobody until Fox began pushing him?

Lets not repeat that.
