Another group calls for boycotting CNN's Lou Dobbs

By Julie Brown | The Miami Herald

A Miami-based Hispanic group is mounting a national campaign against conservative CNN talk-show host Lou Dobbs, urging the network to restrain what they call "his disparaging and inaccurate" remarks about Hispanic immigrants.

Jorge Mursuli, a longtime human rights activist in South Florida who now heads Democracia U.S.A., hopes to create a grassroots movement to silence Dobbs' unrelenting crusade against illegal immigrants.

Mursuli contends that Dobbs has blamed immigrants for a rise in leprosy in the United States, of pushing for a so-called "superhighway" of illegal immigrants from Mexico to Canada and contributing to an illegal immigrant crime wave.

5. It jumped out at me when I saw his email.

You know how your brain forms words where there aren't any?

I consider that an apt description of him.

3. You know, he used to be a local news anchor in Seattle, and

when he was here he didn't engage in political discussion. Then (a couple of years ago) I saw a snip of him on a show (promoting his book) and he was so disgusted with the government and both parties, that he urged everyone to change their affiliation to Independent. He actually had some good points and observations and I was of course sympatico with his feelings toward the Bush administration.

But having seen and heard of some of the crap that he's been spewing, and he's been ratcheting it up, he's just become SCARY. What happens to some people? Or maybe it was there all along... :shrug:

7. Another weird thing about him ,all things considered, is that his wife is Hispanic.

8. I know! I wonder how the conversation goes at home -- this has become his

raison d'etre, not just a story he's reporting on.

for his many disorders.
