Muzzling CNN’s Lou Dobbs

by Brian Jennings

It seems the whacked out left just can’t stand to see their comrades at CNN continue to air the Lou Dobbs show.  They were glad to see Glenn Beck move over to the dark side on the Fox News Channel and now they would like to see CNN can Lou Dobbs.  Here’s the story in brief.
