I've been a fan of Lou Dobbs for a long time. He is, IMO, one of the fairest, most knowledgeable commentators in all of TV land. He's not a Fox-like ranting clown, nor is he like one of MSNBC's outright commies. In fact, since 9/11, he has (IMO) made a subtle move to the right on many issues, such as illegal immigration, border security, and the totally incompetent govt. (both Bush and Odumbo) He is also a very strong pro-gun advocate, and very pro-military. Had he not been CNN's top-rated show, and their #1 earner, i think he would've been gone long ago, since they're not known for tolerating anything that moves to the Right.
Last night, five minutes into his show, he told his vast audience it would be his last show. Personally, i was stunned because i know how CNN values his ratings. ($$) But, i'm also aware of how much serious pressure CNN has been under from the highly-organized Marxist groups who control the illegal immigrant movement. They've seen Dobbs as their #1 target because he has exposed them to the entire nation.
A couple of weeks ago, someone fired several shots at him and his wife while they were standing in front of their NJ home. Could it have been connected to his stance on illegals? IMO, yes, but i don't believe that's what made him quit. Is he tired of being the only non-Left voice at CNN? I don't believe so, since he knows he's the #1 guy there. Or perhaps, since many people have been asking him to seek high political office, could that have been the reason? I doubt that also, since it would not have made him quit, on-air, right in the middle of his show.
I would imagine the full story will be coming out soon. Since he's been a strong critic of the Left-wing MSM, i'm sure they'll do all they can to get the facts out, especially if they make Dobbs look bad or wrong in some way...

"Dobbs had become a target of criticism from liberal and Latino advocacy organizations for his campaign against illegal immigration, and sparred with CNN management over the summer when he talked about questions over President Barack Obama's birth site after CNN reporters (had found nothing to substantiate the issue.) CNN management pressed Dobbs to keep his opinions to himself, something he refused to do since that's what his show was about."

Uncle Fu hopes CNN has the same fate, losing Mr. Dobbs, as Citadel / ABC had, losing Mr Hannity.
Is that the sound of a toilet flushing?
Uncle Fu laughs.
I bet he's going to Fox.
c-bug beat me to it, but it won't be immediately
Just dropped in to tell you what condition my condition is in.
Mrs. Schteveo and I are attempting to buy a place in a nearby county. All was well, until the mortgage company found out we had a "tax problem". We paid, but didn't file our returns for a couple of years. All tied back to a snafu, caused by tax software and IRS stupidity when I first got my SS Disability lump sum payment in '02.
Anyway, we're currently pitting a mortgage company against HUD and FHA, to buy time for our tax thing to clear, three weeks tops. But we're doing it (really) because the well pump needs to be fixed and we want HUD to eat it. FHA won't approve the loan without water, and HUD currently owns the house sans water. And who the hell will buy a house without water?
Here's the fun part, watching HUD and FHA go at each other over who's to blame, for the delays.
I love a parade.

Good for Lou Dobbs, Ted Turner is yet another idiot, total dumb ass, liberal, MILLIONAIRE. I've never been able to rectify that combination in my poor mind.
And BTW, did Ted ever give that Billion to the U.N.?

Yep My Click, f*** those limousine liberals!
Have you ever done it in a limo? Not very comfortable.
An interesting and indepth look into the Dobbs story. It also shows how the forces of the far-left have joined to become a kind of anti-American army. Apparently, they go about their work very quietly, because they have yet to awaken the American people.
