Dobbs is a journalist, not just a taling head news reader. That is not what CNN wants. They want a MaoBama-kissass. Now they are free to find one they like. Suggest Geraldo Rivera.

claspur   November 11th, 2009 - 7:49 pm

QUITTER ! lmao

Good Job, Lou. :o)

You do know where you can get another job, right? *wink *wink

Say, I was wonderering, btw…. when are We All getting our allocation of Afghanistani Opium, Mr. Maobummercorn? *ack…. lmao

NewOrleansAnn   November 11th, 2009 - 7:51 pm

You’re a class act. I look forward to seeing you soon. Thankfully, I won’t have an excuse to tune in to CNN anymore. God bless you.

Fox in the Hen House   November 11th, 2009 - 7:56 pm

Look forward to seeing you in Greta’s time slot Lou.

Barry Bonds   November 11th, 2009 - 7:58 pm

So?

GOD BLESS YOU LOU   November 11th, 2009 - 8:00 pm

Glad to see you leaving the Communist News Network.

Bob Fletcher   November 11th, 2009 - 8:01 pm

The only honest man on the Communist News Network.

I wanna hear lou sing about how cnn has its nose in obama’s and the dnc’s dirty rear.

Snakedog   November 11th, 2009 - 8:22 pm

Lou, What took you so long, the disrespect and Communist ideology of CNN made you a gulag detainee, you had nothing to lose but your chains. All the Lame stream Cable new will wither as is the press. Vive la revolution, death to the enemies of America!

Eileen for Freedom/Liberty   November 11th, 2009 - 8:33 pm

Dear Lou…CNN did the same for Glen Beck how ironic!

Now we have Glen Beck, a true patriot, over at FOX (the biggest cable network news in the country) and being able to tell the truth and help solve the problems of America with the truth!

And guess what, Lou, you can too!

Lou…we hope you end up at FOX…you are at least trying to be “fair and balanced” by telling the truth (as much as Glen could at CNN)!

——————–

THE REVOLUTION OF THE SILENT MAJORITY HAS BEGUN – WE WILL BE SILENT NO MORE!

1. GETTING INFORMED
2. GETTING INVOLVED
3. GETTING OUT THE VOTE

DON’T TREAD ON US…WE PAY YOUR BILLS IN WASHINGTON AND IN YOUR HOMES WHERE YOU WILL ALL BE GOING STARTING WITH NEW JERSEY AND VIRGINIA IN 2009, INTO 2010 AND BEYOND…GUARANTEED!

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

testicular man   November 11th, 2009 - 8:44 pm

Good move Lou, well done. Will be looking for ya’s on Fox News. Now if only we can get rid of the doofus Shep and and a**wipe Geraldo…

pepito cojones   November 11th, 2009 - 8:48 pm

Sister Peace, what is it you don’t understand?

AlaskaHasMoreOilThanSaudiArabia   November 11th, 2009 - 8:52 pm

LOU, when you lie down with dogs, you’ll wake up with fleas. Thank God you don’t have to wake up with fleas anymore! It was the best move Beck ever made and it will be for You Too… http://www.infowars.com <– Stop getting your news from teleprompter readers People!

checkit   November 11th, 2009 - 8:56 pm

interpretation

CNN wants me to fix obamas problems…
CNN wants me to report what this administration tells me to…
CNN wants me to join the Hard Left Partisan State Run Media…
CNN does NOT want to here any objective comments against this administration…
Etc….
So Now I have come to the conclusion that cnn has warped into a new breed of reporters (If you want to call them that) a kind of new generation of reporters, that no longer seeks the truth or even knows the definition of what a reporters job entitles, they have become a cold stale used W h o r e (taking what they are feed to report instead of doing real investigative reporting) they have become one of the new state run news media stations, drowling at the feet of their whip-masters, wimpering to every command the are told to do… etc… they continue to hide the facts and twist the truth and call it news, to favor the Hard Left when all I wanted to do was report the news and give my opinion, so with that said CNN can kiss my ___, as I will not be anybodies b i o t c h so… I am going to another news agency.

LOL That is what he really said :-)

Good luck Lou even though I disagreed with you probably 40-50-60% of the time, at least you still have your Integrity, as the others sold their souls to their whip-masters. Fox maybe your only real choice as the others State run stations will treat you the same if not worse, and Fox can handle both sides of the story.

Good luck! hopefully we will see you on Fox.

Commieobamie   November 11th, 2009 - 9:06 pm

Feels GOOD to quit the MACHINE doesn’t it?!!!!!!!

He’s rich, no worries!

Darth   November 11th, 2009 - 9:10 pm

Welcome to the dark side Lou…

don't-let-the-door......   November 11th, 2009 - 9:21 pm

Last report was that Lou Dobbs was heading to Mexico……… lets hope he does it LEGALLY …(!_!)

A Texan   November 11th, 2009 - 9:29 pm

30 years… Wow! regardles of his politics, the fact that he has been with this institution means that he must have some strong bonds and allegiances to the CNN corporation. It must have been hard to make this decision to seperate, and because of that I believe he is truly a brave and honorable man.

Gandhi's Fist   November 11th, 2009 - 9:31 pm

Dobbs was let go. Too much truth telling about Obama. Good news is, he’ll be scooped up shorty and the only show with ratings CNN had, will be somewhere else. Works for me.

Early Cuyler   November 11th, 2009 - 9:34 pm

Good for him. He will probably end up at Fox News and will have an audience 5 times larger than he had at CNN.

Texstin   November 11th, 2009 - 9:42 pm

It sounds to me like Lou is going to run for office.

thgirbla   November 11th, 2009 - 9:45 pm

Best of luck Lou !!!
You CAN do better than the Clinton News Network !!!
Let us know where you land !!!

FastFacts   November 11th, 2009 - 9:48 pm

I was waiting for this to happen. He has been torn down by the left and even his own network for so long and I am proud of him for keeping his values. Good Job. I wonder where he will be working next. Also did you see how bad CNN and the other networks are doing on primetime shows. Everyone is going down like a rock while Fox is expanding and growing everyday.

wow   November 11th, 2009 - 9:54 pm

Integrity. He is sticking to his beliefs. I Hope all works out for him. CNN will loose more viewers now, the viewers he has collected will not watch.

Gandhi's Mist   November 11th, 2009 - 9:58 pm

Breitbart! Can YOU pick Lou up from the gutter and take him on there!! It would be a shame if he had to be on unemployment, taking food stamps, or picking cabbage…

Quick!! Somebody hire this creep!! He looks really good on camera once he has a fresh change of his diapers…

He is even better than Cramer!!

john   November 11th, 2009 - 9:58 pm

Lou is the last sensible person at CNN.

CNN suffers from the same problem Hollywood does…

To many left wing nuts too many people of similar perceptions. They ran CNN into the ground with their obama crap…CNN regards you and me as stupid…
I guess that’s why their ratings are SO pathetic…

Its not news…its a perception…A bad one.

stacy   November 11th, 2009 - 10:05 pm

He has always been a little FOXy to me.

Derrylane   November 11th, 2009 - 10:06 pm

It’s about time Lou that you left that Communist News Network. Now you can join real patriots at Fox News. The news you can trust.

Paul   November 11th, 2009 - 10:12 pm

CNN is anti-America.
The blood of our soldiers is on them, they have offered
nothing but aid and comfort to the enemy.
One example, when they televised the murder of one of our soldiers by
the enemy…it built morale against our own troops. They did this time and time again, of course, until ‘their guy’ got the job!
So…happy Veteran’s Day, Lou. This is the best decision you’ll make to leave these idiots at CNN.

RedheadLeann   November 11th, 2009 - 10:21 pm

Lou, You were the “only” reason watched on CNN, then would switch the channel back to Fox. Good for you. Good luck in your new, more rewarding adventure.

Joe   November 11th, 2009 - 10:27 pm

If you’ve never seen Lou Dobbs interview world leaders, he is one of the best. You don’t see him in the sit-down interview capacity too much because his show was not that type of format, but he is one of the best interviewers in the business. Better than Barbara Walters in my opinion.

Laffing at Liberal Morons   November 11th, 2009 - 10:28 pm

I guess CNN’s ratings will sink even lower!! Smooth move CNN, NOT!!

Metastasis   November 11th, 2009 - 10:36 pm

Looks like Lou is going to do a “Limbaugh” and grab up his cash on the AM radio band.

GOD BLESS YOU, LOU!   November 11th, 2009 - 10:37 pm

HURRAY FOR LOU DOBBS! What a class act! Let’s hope he moves to FOX or else goes into POLITICS where HIS INTEGRITY can serve the American people well! If he goes to FOX, it will mean we can quit changing the channel and just settle in and catch all the NEWS & VIEWS, and FACTS, without a bunch of scrolling around on the various channels trying to get past the O-hype. If he goes into Public Office, let’s hope he MANAGES TO ENACT SOME LEGISLATION TO SEND THE ILLEGALS HOME!!! & SET TERM LIMITS, TO CLEAN UP WASHINGTON!!!

GOOD GOIN’ & BEST OF LUCK TO YOU, LOU DOBBS!
:-D

Ha Ha   November 11th, 2009 - 10:39 pm

I wonder did it have anything to do with the dozens of groups that were sending petitions to CNN to dump Dobbs.

Dobbs real problems started after he jumped on the birther bandwagon and got such a media smack down even boss Limbaugh stop talking about and defending the birthers.

Thanks Lou go in peace,at least you help kill the birther movement

IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!
yeah it’s just a matter of time Eileen before the black helicopters come and take your crazy azz away.

GOD BLESS YOU, LOU!   November 11th, 2009 - 10:44 pm

CNN just lost half their audience.

Terry   November 11th, 2009 - 10:54 pm

Lou is great. Last good thing about CNN. Glad I canceled cable long ago.

“IMPEACHMENT OR THE ‘ORIGINAL’ KENYAN BIRTH CERTIFICATE…IT IS JUST A MATTER OF TIME!

Those black helicopters are so early 90’s :P Now we use little tiny flying robotic “bugs”!! Sort of like a TV live truck in a fly’s tiny body! Full video and excellent stereo sound. When the time comes, they can also guide in a Hellfire missile…

If they get detected and squished, they even have gut juice in them to make them seem “real”!!

No worries… We have America’s internal traitors under full control!

saintpeeter   November 11th, 2009 - 11:30 pm

Now I have no reason at all to watch CNN. Thanks Lou for giving me more free time.

Fox should trade Geraldo for Lou Dobbs.

Jana   November 11th, 2009 - 11:32 pm

Wishing great things for you Lou. You were the only one with a spine at CNN. The Huffington Post had a campaign to get Dobbs fired at CNN all this year, regardless of the circumstances, I am glad he will be able to pursue other options.

Government Mess   November 11th, 2009 - 11:40 pm

When Glenn Beck left just before the presidential election I stopped watching CNN personally. Lou Dobbs was the only reason left to even consider tuning into CNN now he is leaving too? CNN you are totally screwed now! All you have left is Obama Mania Media Drones that Report what the White House tells you to report! Your ratings will sink even lower. Your leadership at CNN is obviously bought and paid for by the Soros/Liberal Agenda! Good luck licking the boots of Obama and the Marxist Revolution!

jason   November 11th, 2009 - 11:40 pm

I have concerns for Lou.
Why did it take so long?

http://www.cafepress.com/rightwingstuff

RobbieK   November 11th, 2009 - 11:44 pm

Watch out, here comes Lou Dobbs! CNN will tank even more now. Good riddance CNN! Dobbs will be integral in the reporting of the Obama impeachment in early 2011. Lou Dobbs reported fairly. It’s a sad day when a top, real journalist form a network leaves because of the mental disorder of Liberalism all around them.

Rob   November 11th, 2009 - 11:47 pm

Good for you, Lou. You were always too good for CNN. The only reason anyone ever watched CNN was because of you and Beck, now they have no one worth watching… Run for office, Lou, you would be great!

mark   November 12th, 2009 - 12:37 am

“Lou resigned to spend more time with his xenophobia”

BEST quote from Kos

moni   November 12th, 2009 - 2:15 am

You were the only one I watched on CNN. I just hope Fox has a convenient time slot for me to continue watching & listening to you to say IT LIKE IT IS!!!

Kevin   November 12th, 2009 - 4:35 am

Did he fall or was he pushed. I vote for pushed. He does not look happy about leaving.

Leaves room at CNN for Anita Dunn to get a show.

annie   November 12th, 2009 - 5:39 am

Well said, Lou. Thank you.

Freedom of Speech is everything!

rdeed   November 12th, 2009 - 7:45 am

My guess is the House of Representatives before the Senate. It did sound a lot like an intial announcement of diving into the political arena.

temple62   November 12th, 2009 - 8:23 am

Lou Dobbs will be missed. He pointed out Arizona;s conflict between Janet Napolitano and the Border Patrol’s mission regarding illegal aliens. Hope he goes to FOX!

Jack Ryder   November 12th, 2009 - 8:33 am

Since CNN ratings rank worse than reruns of The Rockford Files on channel 1098 at 2:00 in the morning, I think it was probably a good move. Woe is Wolfie Blitzed, he is not getting any new invites from the game show circuit he was hoping to bust into, no appearances on Wheel of Fortune or the Price is Right…. poor Blitzed… and Anderson Cooping, well he is just another confused and frustrated gay man that cannot bring himself out of the closet. Shame. The sooner he can come to grips with it the better for him and his partners.

Don't Drink the Kool Aid   November 12th, 2009 - 9:25 am

Lou was always a beacon of sanity at CNN.
I hope his resignation does for him, what Palin’s resignation did for her.
Good Luck to you Lou!!!

poetopoet   November 12th, 2009 - 9:45 am

I posted this under Olbermann, fits her too.

A sinking ship’s captain Olbermann, cries! Anyone with any brains jump ship now, because I am going down on Anderson Copper when he gets me off whoopee; he’s into water sports too. (Drowning We Hope)

Smitty   November 12th, 2009 - 9:58 am

How long before Dobbs ends up on Faux News?

I give it 2 weeks!

Off Duty   November 12th, 2009 - 10:11 am

I guess Lou got tired of eating all those excrement sandwiches at cnn. FOX wins again….and the loony-left media continue to fade into obscurity.

GI Jay, 82nd Airborne...ALL THE WAY!   November 12th, 2009 - 10:56 am

Subject: WHO, WHAT, WHERE, WHEN and WHY?

Attention: RALPH NADER

WHO is Ralph Nader? A PC LOSER!
WHAT is Ralph Nader? A BITTER old man!
WHERE is Ralph Nader’s head? Up his A**!
WHEN is Ralph Nader going to ‘man-up’? NEVER!
WHY is Ralph Nader refusing to call it TERRORISM?

Hmmm…because Ralph Nader’s a Politically Correct LOSER and BITTER old man whose head is so far up his A** he could NEVER ‘man-up’ and call it for what it was…and what IT IS: TERRORISM!

So much for Ralph being the Commander-In-Chief type…

Sincerely,

GI Jay, 82nd Airborne…ALL THE WAY!

PS: Speaking of the five W’s, thanks for giving us one more…in The White House!

Gandhi's Fist   November 12th, 2009 - 1:25 pm

What does Nader have to do with Lou Dobbs quitting the communist news network? That said, Ralph would be the very last person I’d select for leadership, but he really has done more for America than you’d think. In the role of a consumer advocate he was unparalleled. His cases have saved lives and took on odious corporate corruption. Anyone who’s ever been in an accident and saved by a seat belt at least owes a nod to this man. Prior to this, folks would just smash their heads on the dashboard and die in relatively low speed accidents.

I’ve met him; wouldn’t characterize him as bitter, nor a looser. He’s just so on the band wagon of corporation bashing that he looses perspective. As for the PC stuff, yup, he most certainly is, but then again, he is not the commander and chief, nor could he ever be. The fellow in office now–in my estimation–is the person who’s earned scorn recently.

As for CNN & Dobbs. They needed him, way more then he needed them.

Jthe M   November 12th, 2009 - 4:30 pm

Good to see this xenophobic right wing nut job masquerading as an independent off the air for a bit. He will likely show up at Faux News soon though, along with his other sock puppet brothers and sisters, like Vansustren Carlson Tucker and all those who couldn’t make it as journalist without selling their souls to Rupert and Corporate America. He will become just another vitriol spewing monkey like the whole crew there. This banana”s for you Lou, best of luck on the fair and balanced fringes.

JP   November 12th, 2009 - 9:57 pm

Chucky Shumer is happy with balance now.

P. Revere   November 13th, 2009 - 3:44 pm

Whatever you do, Lou, don’t abandon us to the whims of the current godforsaken administration! I only watched CNN when your program was on. Looks like CNN is in BIG trouble now! Oh well…
