Quick note from the NY Times:

Lou Dobbs, the longtime CNN anchor whose anti-immigration views have made him a TV lightning rod, plans to announce Wednesday that he is leaving the network, two network employees said.

A CNN executive confirmed that Mr. Dobbs will announce his resignation plans on his 7 p.m. program. His resignation is effective immediately; tonight’s program will be his last on CNN. His contract was not set to expire until the end of 2011.

Dobbs has been under fire for his inflammatory rhetoric.

Digg!

For Dobbs I'm hoping HAM Radio.
For US one less asshole trying to help destroy this country's mental well being- Beck, Rush,BillO, Malkin are screaming for a "pile on" while we're down. Don't they think we have enough stress with a collapsed economy? We have to contend with social division as well? Armed at times!?!
These are characitures of the worst of humanity -deception,anger, fear, envy. Let alone an American.
They helped Lie Us into War, supported Acts of Torture and spying, encouraged assasinations,invoked imagery of civil war, and offended more than half of our countries population on numerous occasions.
These are not just Politcal Shock Jocks, they are Propagandaists expounding an agenda which flies in direct conflict with our American Values and Security (including from within).

What broadcasting organization would have space for an extreme Right Wing conspiracy theorist constantly railing against illegal immigrants?

I hear that John King will replace him.

It would have been hilarious, however, if a Hispanic instead was to TAKE HIS JOB!

Dobbs at FOX News spewing his hate is going to inflame these nutjobs even further than they already are, and I am afraid will be the match to the fuse in what is coming. Those who watched Dobbs for years will shift to FOX in even greater numbers, and I would not want to be Hispanic in this country when all H*** breaks lose with this guy leading the pack! What is worse, is like his new buddies, he will wrap his racism and hate in the American flag and people in this country who used to follow his news reports, will buy it, hook line, and sinker!

Hang on to your hats, kiddies, it is going to get very bumpy!

Hopefully the robotic Wolf Blitzer will be next.....if he is still on CNN. I don't watch it.
