      Dobbs has a lot of nerve calling anyone an ideologue.

      The man is absolutely dunderheaded.

      I predicted Limpballs to be the first pundit to drop the N-bomb when referring to the Prez. I think Louie just took the lead as most likely candidate.

        I still think it depends on which of them has the greatest opportunity to spit it out in a situation where there's no prerecording or editing opportunity. It has to be live, or we'll probably never hear it.

      Bloodsucking "leftist"? Why, that's MUCH better than "bloodsucking liberal"! That TOTALLY justifies when you said that somebody should put a stake through his heart!

      (Seriously, though? You need to pick your battles better, Crazypants.)

        She said she had an exact quote and then misquoted him, that was his point but it flew over your head.

      Okay, I listened to all the drivel and the one thing I can't understand is why anyone who hold a view contrary to Loony Lou's would even bother going on that low-rated show of his.

      The only guy he didn't talk over every two seconds was the one agreeing with him.

      Want to hasten Loony Lou's departure? The left, and those who dare to think this idiot might be wrong, need to stop going on his show. It would quickly become such a right wing loonfest that it would be an absolute embarrassment to CNN. It's hard to lay claim to any degree of network impartiality when you devote an hour each night to fringe right wing mumbo jumbo.

      The only thing the left is doing by appearing on his show is delaying his departure by conferring a small degree legitimacy to this sad excuse of a broadcaster.

        Actually, I thought both guests tore Lou a new one. They were very effective. It was obvious that Lou was rattled. I'd like to see more of that.

          Yeah, I give them both a lot credit for keeping their composure. Dobbs has lost it.

          They had no argument. They were throwing accusations and then couldn't back them up. Never said what Limbaugh said, they just threw his name in there. They were both weasels.

        If CNN got rid of him there would not be a true Conservative on the channel and then Fox would destroy them in the ratings even more.

        They conferred about as much legitimacy to Dobb's show as George Bush did by appearing on American Idol. If anything, it's not exactly good ratings when you can't hold your own against your own guests. It would be like Matthews being befuddled by Michelle Bauchman.

      The right always turns to freedom of speech, but town halls have rules and for along time got no attention unless something "fun" happen like someone yelling at a Sen. or something. The public needs to understand the difference between a town hall a protest rally.

      Sweet Christmas on a cracker!!

      CNN, the man has lost his marbles. Do the honorable thing for once, and pull Grandpa Crathedy Interruptus Smugface off the damn air before he sinks your network.

      What a complete wad.

      The more I here this guy the more I like him. He really gets to the heart of all of the noise from the left.

      Hello CNN
      Mr. Dobbs was able to push me to the edge on Thursday, August 13.
      This reporter from 2001-2006 allowed the previous President to demise the economy, demoralize, and embarrass the United States before he finally spoke out. Now he has become so righteous that he can have a guest on his show and belittle her as if she had no knowledge of the topic or what life is really about for the average person in the health care system. Does he have a job opening at Fox News?
      How about reporting on contradictions, such as when Glenn Beck did a video of how poor his hospital treatment was in January of 2008(while working at CNN) and then 16 months later(May 2009), rants and raves how the United States has the best health care system in the world. That would have referenced the topic he was suppose to be talking about instead of the rudeness he portrayed during his television show, but I get the impression that was not his goal. He just trying the new way of reporting news, try to bully people not to think!!!!!

      LOL. This is like a guy getting pulled over for speeding, assaulting the cop and driving off. Then at trial, he pleades guilty to assaulting the offier, and then tries to fight the speeding ticket!
