"One of the loudest birther enablers is not at Fox but CNN: Lou Dobbs"

Frank Rich:

One of the loudest birther enablers is not at Fox but CNN: Lou Dobbs, who was heretofore best known for trying to link immigrants, especially Hispanics, to civic havoc. Dobbs is one-stop shopping for the excesses of this seismic period of racial transition. And he is following a traditional, if toxic, American playbook. The escalating white fear of newly empowered ethnic groups and blacks is a naked replay of more than a century ago, when large waves of immigration and the northern migration of emancipated blacks, coupled with a tumultuous modernization of the American work force, unleashed a similar storm of racial and nativist panic.

That's so good for the CNN brand, tying it to nativists and racists courtesy of Dobbs. How does that work for the rest of the "talent" at CNN, one wonders.
