UPDATE: Well, CNN had a response to Hill’s remarks: You’re fired.

CNN severed ties with contributor Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday, following comments the university professor made in a speech at the United Nations.

“Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite.

Oh, it’s just another day where someone is calling for the destruction of Israel. No, it’s not Hamas, but CNN commentator Marc Lamont Hill sure took a page out of their book saying, “Justice requires a free Palestine from the river to the sea.” Hill, who is also a professor at Temple University, delivered a speech at the United Nations on Wednesday, where he made these remarks. It was part of an International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People event (via Washington Examiner)

Glad to hear the little prick has been fired. I couldnt stand him when he used to run his yap on O’Reillys program some years back.

[CondoleezzaProtege]

I appreciated that he was at least cordial to Bill O’Reilly. What an unfortunate statement he must have made.

[17th Miss Regt]

I’m sorry, Marc. We have to let you go. That was a bit too blatant of an exposition of CNN’s position.

International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People?

Do the hold Suicide vest seminars and lectures on how to raise children to be fanatical killers?

Double ditto. Steams me up when blatant racists point their finger at others and call them racist.

Good news.

“Hill, who is also a professor at Temple University”

Temple must be an educational institution of extremely lower learning.

[wastoute]

Dang, even I would know better than do that at CNN.

[Hugin]

The idiot has outlived his usefulness by being too honest about the goal.

[Rummyfan]

See you later Marc Lamont Hill! Damn loud-mouthed fraud....

[noiseman]

I’m sorry, Marc. We have to let you go. That was a bit too blatant of an exposition of CNN’s position.“

I was going to say, “Hmm, so CNN does have some standards”, but past history indicates that couldn’t possibly be true. Then I saw your statement, and I think you hit on the real reason for Hill’s firing.

[zipper]

He’s still at Temple U? So their standards are even lower than CNN’s?

[MayflowerMadam]

“Hill, who is also a professor at Temple University”

Yeah ... No; he wasn’t. My husband did some research into this dipstick and he wasn’t a professor anywhere as far as we could tell. He calls himself, “professor”, like Jesse Jackson calls himself “reverend”.

Call for the destruction of Israel, you get fired.

Call for the destruction of the US, you get a big fat promotion, and win the praise of the democrat party.

[Oldeconomybuyer]

Bill O’Reilly gave this putz his first shot on TV.

[ETCM]

Kinda surprised he would be fired for his comment, especially by CNN. I mean, it’s what the majority on the left believe anyway. The death of Israel is certainly the all but official position of the UN.

[TigersEye]

CNN has standards? I’m gobsmacked!

[TigersEye]

He calls himself, “professor”, like Jesse Jackson calls himself “reverend”.

Like 0blowhard calls himself a "Constitutional Law Professor."
