Internet Effect Thoery, Does Lou Dobbs Pass the Test?

Short version, no. Long version no x 10^44.

Let us run "Lou the birther" through the motions of the internet effect theory.

-Step 1: Lou Dobbs decides to take up the birther story, support it, and add his two cents to it.

-Step 2: Lou's take on the birther movement hits the internet. Where it has existed for months before Lou ever made his first comment, and is promptly, and vigorously, chewed-up , spat-out, and tossed in to, forgive the pun, loony news bin.

-Step 3: This is the point where, based on the mountain of evidence, Lou Dobbs should have come up with a new story, and started back at step 1. However, as we all know, that is not the case. Instead Lou is fighting against the internet effect, and argue that he is not yet satisfied evidence provided. This is all fine, and good when their is little to no evidence, BUT their is a treasure trove of undeniable evidence, that would satisfy any rational skeptic.

This brings me to my next point, Lou Dobbs is delusional loon that has no place in CNN, or any other serious news organization. Would you call a man trying to swim up Niagara Falls rational? How about a man that believes the world is only 5000 years old? A man that believes little girls need to be circumcised to prevent future sexual immorality? That Jews control all the banks, and world resources? That flying a commercial air liner into building is the will of God, or any other deity?

Anyone that believes in something contrary to evidence, and rational thought is a delusional loon, and no amount of money, or network protection is going to hide that from people. It's time for CNN to pull the plug on Lou Dobbs, before he drags the whole network down, so he can pursue his new career over at Fox News. On second thought even Fox isn't subscribing to this birther crap, so I guess Lou is worst off than I thought. Maybe Orly Taitz is hiring real estate agents.

Fellow iReporters, and bloggers, I implore you to demand CNN deal with Lou Dobbs. Write an iReport in your own words describing why, you think, Lou Dobbs should be pulled off the air.
