Why Did Lou Dobbs Leave CNN?
Newsmax ^ | Nov 13, 2009 | James Hirsen

Posted on 11/13/2009 9:08:38 AM PST by holy joe

Dobbs calls himself an independent with a strong populist streak, and many assume his departed because of politics. But perhaps something else influenced his decision: the fact that a bullet struck his home after threatening phone calls...

So the hispanic terrorists win.

Unless he moves out of the country or gives up media altogether how is changing employers going to make a difference?

I’m not sure it’s a “win” but I’m guessing that CNN refused to provide the security necessary to protect him.

Funny how more and more commentators are in need of protective details here from the tolerant, respectful and diversity minded left.

Knowing how liberal the Communist News Network is....they probably would have prohibited Dobbs from owning a weapon to protect himself....heck CNN may have even sent La Raza Rick Sanchez to scare him....

Dobbs can spend more time to grow his radio show....without worrying about the CNN bigots

The now failing nascent obama regime wouldn’t be sending a message, now, would they?

Maybe not, but ACORN/SEIU sure would....

And by extension, the George Soros International Consortium may be part of this persecution. They certainly are putting up the bucks for this disinformation campaign. If some of it turns into flying bullets, why, you can’t keep control of EVERYBODY, now can you?

The liberals felt he had too much free speech, and demanded he be fired for his disobedience. They've been trying to censor him for quite a while, and maybe he finally got tired of their deadly threats and fascism.
I wouldn't be surprised to find out he's been hired by FOX business. He would be able to express himself freely there. This may be the best thing that ever happened to him in the end. If FOX doesn't hire him, at least he's now a free man.

Yeah, but I believe Obama calls the shots. He is pure evil.

I kind of wonder if he felt that CNN was leaving him exposed in some way.

From what I understand, he was one of their two top rated shows, too. CNN lost big with this one.

My Opinion:

Lou Dobbs has recognized that battle lines between the collectivists and individualists in the media are being drawn as we speak and realized he may be on the wrong network.

As much as they proclaim to value diversity in opinion, CNN does not practice what they preach.

And the great story that is never reported by the MSM is that Mrs. Dobbs is from Mexico.

La Raza must consider her a "sellout."

Did any of you bother to watch his farewell remarks on video?

He made it pretty clear why he was leaving, and he made novmention of security issues. Why do you all assume he was not forthright about his reasons for leaving? Duh.

"He is pure evil. "

Yeah, he does have an evil streak in him, but I think this "man-child" is mostly black attitude coupled with immaturity. He's got a chip on his shoulder bigger than Texas, and makes a career out of trying to look cool and bad at the same time.

I think as soon as we take away his enablers (congress) in the 2010 election, he will begin to crumble, his shuckin/Jivin' exterior will fall away and we'll see temper tantrums and thuggery never before seen from an elected official in America.

I won't empower him by calling him "evil" because that is the facade he is trying to invoke on us...it would make the coup easier if we were really scared of him. He's like a little punk, surrounded and protected by some really big guys. To get rid the punk, we need to turn his bodyguards against him by pointing out that once he achieves his goals of domination, they will be no safer than any of the rest of us...as obama is all about....obama.

There was obvious pressure from the White House on CNN, a state-run cable channel, to fire him and make him promise that he would not say why.

Well stated.

“coming very close to his wife. I think that’s clearly the factor.

In this clip, played frequently on the Terry Anderson Show, a brown beret explains it...’we will control the USA through violence or non-violence’...they don’t care what it takes.

Why would Dobbs or anyone else work for someone who won't let them do their job as they know it needs to be done? It's better this way. Dobbs keeps his integrity and CNN doesn't believe in integrity.
