    Lou Dobbs Ad Aims to Shame CNN

    Posted:
    08/4/09
    The liberal media watchdog group Media Matters has produced a new ad that targets CNN host Lou Dobbs for his continued flirtation with the "birther" movement. The birthers believe that President Obama is not a legal citizen of the United States. Set to eerie music, the fast-paced spot edits together numerous instances of Dobbs repeating the birther allegations and opens with a voice-over proclaiming:
    CNN's Lou Dobbs has been promoting the false right-wing conspiracy that President Obama hasn't produced a valid U.S. birth certificate.
    Watch:



    In addition, Media Matters has also started a special web page, "dobbsconspiracy.com," that includes a petition asking CNN to "address its Lou Dobbs problem in a credible manner."

    Recently, the Associated Press called Dobbs a "publicity nightmare" for CNN, but the network is backing the popular host so far.

    For his part, Dobbs has fired back at his critics on his show, saying,

    "Limp-minded, lily-livered lefties, who by the way are also attacking me in a concerted form as I actually raise a question of this great president. I mean, think if this, I actually had the temerity to inquire as to the where the birth certificate was."
