The curent Lou Dobbs donnybrook is a total hoot.

CNN’s resident xenophobe has been propping up the birthers who contend that Barack Obama was born in Kenya so is ineligible for the U.S. presidency.

Media Matters for America, a watchdog group founded by born-again liberal David Brock (late of the “a little bit nutty, a little bit slutty” Anita Hill anti-fan club), produced a TV spot calling out CNN for propping up Dobbs.

That led, Media Matters brays, to an AP story headlined, “Lou Dobbs ‘A Publicity Nightmare for CNN,'” and its report, “CNN’s Kurtz, CNN President Now At Odds Over Dobbs.”

Media Matters tried to buy  time for the Dobbs spot on Lou Dobbs’s show, but CNN spiked the ad.

No offense, but it seems like a good time for CNN to abort the birthers.
