CNN smacks down Lou Dobbs on Birther silliness
At least someone at CNN has some journalistic integrity left. Next, they need to get rid of Dobbs.
CNN President Jon Klein wrote an email last night to “Lou Dobbs Tonight” staffers telling them the Obama birth certificate story is “dead,” TVNewser reports.
“It seems this story is dead,” Klein wrote, “because anyone who still is not convinced doesn’t really have a legitimate beef.”
CNN focused on the additional information that all Hawaii records are now electronic, so they don’t produce paper copies of “original” birth certificates.
Will this end the story? Don’t bet on it. The level of hatred on the right for Obama is reaching a fever pitch.
UPDATE: A civil rights organization is demanding that CNN remove Lou Dobbs from the air.
This story smells…somebody is lying about no birth certificate in Hawaii since 2001.

Obama’s birth was documented in the local Hawaii newspapers. Those of us over 40 can remember that births from the local hospital were routinely published in the newspaper before the election era.
To everyone who believes that Obama wasn’t born in Hawaii I ask, what the fuck did Obama do, take Michael J Fox’s time machine and travel 47 years back to publish his birth????
Give it up for crying out loud
