Barack Obama's mother was a citizen of the United States, and his birth certificate has passed the scrutiny of factcheck.org and of John McCain's presidential campaign. Nobody has ever had more incentive to dispute President Obama's citizenship than Senator McCain had, but he found that there is no evidence that the Hawaiian birth certificate shown on factcheck.org is subject to any doubt. Lou Dobbs is a race baiter and a shoddy journalist. Even to his xenophobic audience, he owes better fact-checking. He encourages low-information viewers to make asses of themselves. He is not to be trusted and has no place in the profession of journalism.

It's about time CNN fire Lou Dobbs. He is a grossly biased individual who has lost any and all credibility, and is an ongoing embarrassment.
There was a time I considered him informative, but due to his one- sided and error- prone coverage of the issues I turn CNN off when his show goes on. He has been particularly biased against presedent Obama even before he was elected. Lou is rude to guests who disagree with him, bullying them and then cutting them off before they can defend their positions. Dobbs belongs on Fox News, along with Hannity and Beck.
I was particularly disturbed by his appearance a few months ago at a rally on Capitol Hill held by the rabidly anti-immigrant organization Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Lou Dobbs must go!

Yes, Lou Dobbs should go. He should then be hired by Fox who endorses all day hate against anything related to the Democrats. CNN has always struck me as a News station that send Reporters into the field to collect, review and report facts of the day, not opinions. I believe the Republican party is rallying to bring out the very worst in people. Idle people who endorse this behavior and show up at tea parties spewing hate via words and signs are easy to fall prey to this childish behavior. The United States is suppose to provide equal rights for everyone. I am sure Republicans and Democrats both share a difference in what "equal rights" mean to each other. But Republicans remember, when you were the majority you were allowed to bring about changes you thought was better for your constituents, and the Democrats did not whine, they worked in a bipartisan manner. It's called acting like an adult. I think the Republicans should try reevaluating their behavior, and remember that their Mommies should not have to go back to the drawing board in teaching them the rule of Respect 101.
To end, this is the type of behavior Lou has been participating in and since he too need to GROW UP and have respect, CNN should give him his walking papers.

Lou Dobbs IS the main reason I stopped watching CNN a long-long time ago. If he cared as much as he professes to about illegal immigration why has he never, EVER, reported on or headed up his own investigation of US businesses (specifically the meat / poultry slaughterhouses and packing plants) that bring illegal immigrants into this country to work in their plants. Hmmm? We already have laws to prevent and prosecute those who violate immigration laws. HE's the one who's full of s*#t!

Stop Lou Dobbs and all who think like him from destroying America and the world with their poison rhetoric. Dobbs and his ilk are working hard to influence the minds of our youth and return the world to a time when a person of color could not sit at a lunch counter, when women had to march in the street and risk death just for the right to vote. Lastly, pro choice does not mean pro abortion. If Dobbs has his way, women in America and all over the world will not even be able to decide what happens to their own bodies. Please. Let's put our minds together to educate people and motivate them to act on their own behalf. GET INVOLVED! Don't stand on the side lines! It's your life. Your childrens' lives, PROTECT YOUR HEARTS AND MINDS...TODAY!

I think that Lou Dobbs should be fired, at the least he should lose his job. I dont think it is the right for anyone to degrade on anyone especially the president of the united stated of states of america. Using "his" show to voice HIS racist opinion is wrong and should not be taken lightly. He is no better then anyone else and should not think so.

Lou Dobbs represents the worst in journalism, harkening back to the hyperboles and hatred of "yellow press" days of late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. His outrageous misrepresentations and sensationalism harm not only CNN's reputation, but America's and the world's sensitivities as well. CNN needs to do the right thing and rid itself of this bigotted, loudmouth zealot.

I feel that some of the comment Lou Dobbs state is out of line. The things one says on national television is important, and you should watch what you say so that you dont offend anyone.
Mr. Dobbs i don't know what kind of family your from, maybe Irish maybe italian maybe french, whichever kind of white you are, all you europeans are immigrant too that came here, to kill native americans and take over the nation. the kind of immigrant that your from is hispanic, when your race too is rascists. whites are not from this country as well as hispanics or any other people. if you want to talk like a nazi then go to germany not in the united states where their is diversity. remember that the next time you say something the native americans are native, not whites hispanics or black, and you dont have the face of an indian. if justice will be served, then your seat will be empty on the next show.

Lou Dobbs is downplaying on Obama and vis-a-vis Democrats. He does not want Democrats policy to move out of Iraq and take final offensive agaist Talibans and move the troops back home. He sees what's going on but does not let them take credit of democrats good policy. He is forgetting that Republicans had a status quo in Iraq and Afghanistan. I think he is a racist also.

Let's face it, L.Dobbs could only have thrived targeting
a pool of not-so-bright underinformed viewers.
Who's to say that he won't improve ratings for ratigns sake bringing his viewership down to an imbecility level
not seen before?
Problem is, the bat squeeze that he spews regularly is making a lot of us sick and we're not going to take it anymore.

I have listened to his racists remarks against many non-anglo groups for too long and stand amazed that he is still on the air. He is the epitome of the White Anglo-Saxon Republican Reich that hates everyone that does not look, talk and walk like them. Thank G_d for diversity and mostly thank G_d for them being a minority.

I already wrote one and I dont think it went through but the jist of it is that Lou Dobbs has lost all credibility. He displays racism and prejudice in his reporting. He does not shy away from the fact that he believes global warming is a hoax despite the overwhelming support to the contrary by almost every notable scientist and scientific affiliation in the world. How can someone on the news go against scientific fact? Its just totally irresponsible especially on something that has the potential to be so catastrophic. There is no room for Lou Dobbs at a place like CNN anymore - he belongs down below with the mockery that is fox "news." I dont know what happened to you Lou but its very disappointing.
