J. Richard Cohen, President of the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC), asks CNN President in a letter dated today to remove Lou Dobbs from the airwaves. He describes Lou Dobbs reporting as “both deplorable and an embarrassment to all serious journalists.” The letter ends with:
Respectable news organizations should not employ reporters willing to peddle racist conspiracy theories and false propaganda. It's time for CNN to remove Mr. Dobbs from the airwaves.
The letter was prompted by Mr. Dobbs repeated questioning of the validity of President Obama’s birth certificate, despite evidence to the contrary:
The truth about the president's birth is not in dispute. It has been verified by Factcheck.org, among many other serious news organizations, and his official birth documents have been made public. CNN itself has repeatedly reported on the falsity of the claims of the "birthers," and the network's esteemed legal analyst, Jeffrey Toobin, recently called those claims "a joke." As you know, even Mr. Dobbs' frequent fill-in anchor, Kitty Pilgrim, debunked the birthers on the July 17 edition of Mr. Dobbs' own CNN show. The fact that Mr. Dobbs suggests otherwise on CNN — while real CNN reporters tell the truth — is both deplorable and an embarrassment to all serious journalists.
According to Mr. Cohen, this “radical racist right” conspiracy theory:
was first developed by an open anti-Semite and circulated by right-wing extremists who cannot accept the fact that a black man has been elected president of the United States. Among its adherents was neo-Nazi James von Brunn, the alleged murderer of a security guard at the U.S. Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington, D.C., this June. Von Brunn had helped spread the birthers' claims on the Internet and attacked the "dishonest & conspiratorial Media" for not taking them up.

Obama defenders don't want to seek or admit the truth. Obama’s story includes three different hospitals.
1) He said in his book "Dreams from his Father" that he found his birth certificate. Lets see it!
2) Stop the legal blockade; authorize Hawaii to release whatever they have.
The factcheck COLB has been questioned for many reasons. For instance, his sister was born in Indonesia. She has the exact same COLB. She is NOT natural born. He may not be either. He needs to prove it.
Obama’s grandmother said she was at the birth. . .IN KENYA!!! Can you imagine a woman not knowing whether she was at the birth of a baby or not know what continent it was on? Are you anti-birthers calling her a crazy liar too?
The birthers aren’t crazy. OBAMA VERY LIKELY IS COMITTING THE BIGGEST FRAUD OF ALL TIME!!!

Obama can score a big victory by simply releasing his long form Birth Certificate. That is all Lou Dobbs has requested. Why the fuss by Liberoid fascists seeking to censor or fire Dobbs? Perhaps they know that Obama is NOT qualified to be President, and that he is a liar and a criminal.
Hey, Cap'n: What about the Republican governor of Hawaii stating he's seen the original birth certificate? And the original Hawaiian newspapers announcing Obama's birth? Don't believe everything you hear someone else making up... He has proven his citizenship. And his worthiness to lead. Deal.
No, Captain Crunch, we are calling you birfoons crazy racist liars because Obama’s grandmother never said that.
A simple rule for sane people regarding this "issue": anything any birfoon claims is a lie.
The SPLC is a hate group.
splc is a hate group
Hey Captain Steve, how do you know Obama's grandmother said she was present at Obama's bitrh? Some say there is notarized document to that effect. Have you seen that notarized document? I mean the real document -- not some copy or forged copy. Have you verified that the signatures are real? I mean really real.
President Obama is a U.S. Citizen; born from a mother who was a U.S. Citizen; and he was born in a U.S. state. Chill out, you nitwits.
Captain Steve is a racist as is Lou Dobbs!
Every time anyone has a legitimate criticism of Barack Obama, some shmuck plays the race card. Meanwhile, because Bush was white, I guess it was OK to label him, Hitler, Murderer, and American terrorist.
The only "racist" conspiracy here is what the Obama Administration has launched against white Americans: freeing dangerous terrorists. Dropping all charges on black men convicted of voter intimidation. Calling a white policeman, "STUPID," for arresting a black activist who acted disorderly on purpose to get arrested. Telling JEWS that they can;t live in their own country.
Obama is not only the Racist-In-Chief, he is also an illegal President who is not Constutionally eligible to be President, and who has committed document and voter fraud to get elected. He does NOT have a Certification of Live Birth (COLB), did NOT post a real copy of his COLB, & FACTCHECK is who helped Obama to forge his COLB!
No "conspiracy theory" but irrefutable facts about Obama's birth certificate HOAX
My 200-page analysis of a 2 kB jpeg file containing a screenshot of a webpage showing a photo of a newspaper article about Obama's birth certificate proves that it's a forgery: the tachyon particles in it show conclusively that it was fabricated by a drunken robot at O'Zorgnax's pub in year 3001 and beamed back to the present day, which obviously means that Obama was born in Kenya. There can be no other explanation.

Salaams Julie:
This is a bogus attack on Lou Dobbs. I listen to him every night. He has REPEATEDLY said that he believes that Obama is an American citizen. He is merely giving a voice to a provocative topic that some Americans are concerned about - true or not true. These same people want to stifle the conservative voice in America from the airways. This is America! Free speech! Don't like it people? Turn it off!
cohen you should resign.
bill orelly cleaned your clock. Why dont you get a real job
Yes, all "birthers" must be racists. A "birther" is someone who denies that Obama was American natural born. So by that definition, almost all the population of Kenya are "birther racists" I guess. Go to this site and listen to a couple of disc jockeys from Detroit as they accomplish what the Supreme Court (Supreme Cowards?) can't seem to do. They actually called the Ambassador from the Republic of Kenya, His Excellency Peter N.R. Ogego in Washington DC to congratulate him and all Kenyans on Obama's election last November. They asked if Kenya would erect a marker commemorating his birth place there in Kenya. During the conversation, the ambassador states proudly that Obama was born there and his birth place there was well known. This was before someone clued him in to the constitutional requirement that the POTUS must be a native born US citizen. WOOPS.

He tried to retract later saying that he meant Barack O. Sr. Just listen.
