Jewish Group Urges Firing Of CNN's Dobbs Over Nazi Remarks

Submitted by JB, May 2, 2007 10:24

First of all, Dobb's reference to Goering is wrong. He was not in charge of propaganda, he was the commander of the Luftwaffe. He probably meant Goebels, minister of Propaganda. If you're going to make a reference, at least get it right. Otherwise it's pure propaganda.

In my opinion, should there be a competition for Master of Manipulation, Mr. Dobbs would definitely be in the finals. His interviews are always tainted with personal views -always the same: illegal immigrants are a plague he wishes he could crush. His know-it-all attitude is frankly annoying, because it shuts down dialogue and any exchange of intelligent ideas. Comparing illegal immigrants advocates to nazis is just one more of his attempts at manipulation, trying to hit a nerve with the Jewish community and turn it against Latinos. Dobb's has picked this difficult situation and made it his crusade because he bets most Americans are against the legalization of undocumented immigrants, and dreams about getting some sort of medal, statue or any other public recognition for his relentless attack on immigrants.

Mr. Dobb's tunnel vision reminds me of a German "visionary" who was dreaming of a white nation, back in 1933. He too had a goal and he too wanted to erradicate people who would come between him and his dream, ignoring their personal stories and dramas.

NOTE TO BARBARA: Give us examples of those anti-semitic websites please, or quote them if you can. I'm curious.
