Perhaps because he doesn’t enjoy gunfire, Lou Dobbs is leaving CNN “to pursue other opportunities. CNN allowed him to peace out of his contract early, and were probably glad to get rid of the neoconservative anchor whose views would have clashed with the other CNN anchors, who are outrageously liberal open-minded!

Dobbs has been working for CNN since 1980, when the news channel was conceived. He was hosting a show about business, but says his worldviews changed arfter the 9/11 attacks and corporate scandals. He began to more openly put forward his opnions, and was in particular very vocal about illegal immigration. Pointing out Obama’s clear lack of birth certificate didn’t help things, either, with the CNN crowd, and Dobbs says he has been in discussions for months about getting out.

A gunshot was aimed at the home of Lou Dobbs, a CNN correspondent, following a number of threatening phone calls to him and his family, Dobbs reported to listeners on his nationally syndicated radio show.

The neocon, who vehemently opposes amnesty and supports full border protection, said, “They’ve created an atmosphere and they’ve been unrelenting in their propaganda,” referring to pro-immigration groups like the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC), the National Council of La Raza and America’s Voice. “Three weeks ago this morning, a shot was fired at my house where I live. My wife was standing out and that followed weeks and weeks of threatening phone calls.”

William Gheen, president of AILAC, told FoxNews, ““That shot, that attack on the Dobbs family is an attack on every American that values First Amendment rights.

Dobbs commented that he has been vilified by “the national liberal media,” and living with threats and gunshots has “become a way of life.”
