Where Does Lou Dobbs Go, and Why?

[Westerly_2]

Okay, is Lou Dobbs moving to Fox, to a private ward, to a political campaign or a lucrative speaking tour, and what is the real story behind his "resignation"?Any theories?

Lately "Mr. Indepemdent" has seemed erratic - embracing birtherism, claiming he was fired upon, throwing his pudding cup and salad bowl at Geraldo Rivera, and claiming the WH was arrayed against him. Twilight Zone time, or no for Dobbs?

I read he met with some officals at Fox News in September...but Fox is saying they know nothing. (That I can believe!) He was a decent anchorman in Seattle years ago, I think he should have stayed with that.

Must be something in the water in the news rooms in the Seattle area...Dobbs, Aaron Brown, and Glenn Beck are all from the area.

Well...ONE place jumps to mind...but he has to die first.

I think, Fox is fitting for him but which time slots? That is the main problem, all the prime times are taken, unless they want to boot out Shepard Smith who is the only non-ideological as far as I know whom I haven't watched in a long time (probably 5-6 years), or he (Dobbs) would take after midnight slots.
Dobbs is one hypocrate who screams about illegal immigrations while he employed the same people whom pounding night after night. At first, I was in agreement with his concerns and the risks of open border. But the more I watched him, I see, his dubious agenda. He has the same combative styles of talk show hosts as the Fox boys and right wing nuts radio shows. If the guests have different views he would cut them off. In one of his shows he has hosted a lawyer from Southern Poverty Law Center which (the center) has fought tooth and nails with the Klans, the Skin-heads and many other hate groups. The guy was polite to Dobbs, and he was telling him, many hate group are citing him and using his shows for propoganda. He was only asking him to calm down his rhetoric, because many hispanics are targeted such groups for attachs and in some cases killed., Dobbs went ballistic. He started trashing this guy. The lawyer was telling him that in case you (Dobbs) is not aware of that The Council of Conservative Citizens (CofCC), which is the modern day klans (sophesticated, clean cut, well educated, have positions in higher places, not the usual suspects- not backwards, trailer park boys) are using his programs clips for fund raisings. Then I knew his motive, he didn't denounce or distance himself. I thought his concern was a legitimate one which is open border is dangerous for any country, let alone for US which has many enemies for reasons - political or ideological or economical or religious or any others.

Lou Dobs contract was given to Dob out for 8 million dollars, CNN is wanting to go to straight news no comantaries. Frome time to time he will do guest shows on Fox. Dobbs is thinking about running for office. His words on Fox.
