Class act. And of course, CNN's Lou Dobb's was there, along with a hate group:
Rep. Steve King (R-IA) announced last night that President Obama “threw the first punch” at the “honorable” Rep. Joe Wilson (R-SC) who had no choice but to fight back by calling the president a liar. King’s comments were made at a reception featuring Lou Dobbs and hosted by the nativist hate group, Federation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR), as part of their “Hold Their Feet To The Fire” annual anti-immigration lobbying campaign.Yes, CNN's Lou Dobbs, and top GOP members of Congress, attended an event hosted by a known hate group. The Southern Poverty Law Center has more on the hate group:
The founder, chief ideologue and long-time funder of FAIR is a racist. Key staff members have ties to white supremacist groups, some are members, and some have spoken at hate group functions. FAIR has accepted more than $1 million from a racist foundation devoted to studies of race and IQ, and to eugenics — the pseudo-science of breeding a better human race that was utterly discredited by the Nazi euthanasia program. It spreads racist conspiracy theories. Its political ads have caused numerous politicians, Democratic and Republican, to denounce it.What is a CNN on-the-air host doing attending an event hosted by a hate group? If he wasn't covering it - and he wasn't - then what was he doing there? Are there no morals clauses, or anything anymore, in broadcast contracts?
