The following screed comes to us from Media Matters, a vile left wing conglomeration of open border zealots and anti white bigots. Media Matters does not believe European Americans have a right to express even a moderate or implicit sense of group advocacy. Here you will see they want their supporters to harangue CNN into dropping a scheduled program with Lou Dobbs and FAIR as they discuss the ongoing demographic, political and social shift taking place in America right now. Conversely, we ask that all of our supporters write to CNN and urge them to keep the show in place..here.
Dear Friend,
CNN’s Lou Dobbs problem just got a whole lot worse.
On September 15 and 16, Dobbs is scheduled to broadcast hisradio show from Capitol Hill as a leading voice ofthe annual “Hold Their Feet to the Fire” legislative advocacyconference and rally sponsored by the rabidly anti-immigrant organizationFederation for American Immigration Reform (FAIR).
Founded by a man with a history of espousingracist beliefs and who remains on its board, FAIR is labeled as a “hategroup” by the Southern Poverty Law Center. Dobbs’participation — and, through him, CNN’s –will bestow mainstream legitimacy on the rally and on FAIR, something FAIRrecognizes and is bragging about to its members.
Dobbs must not be allowed to participatein this event. Email CNN and ask them to stop Dobbs:

CNN’s association with FAIR through Dobbsis a major stain on an organization that calls itself “the most trustedname in news.” FAIR was founded by John Tanton, a man who has a longhistory of making racist statements.In 1986, Tanton reportedly wrote: “As Whites see their power and controlover their lives declining, will they simply go quietly into the night?”In 2001, Tanton even praised the work of John Trevor, anotorious Nazi sympathizer, saying his work should form “a guidepost towhat we must follow again this time.”
(When all else fails drag out a conflated neo-Nazi reference. — Ed.)
FAIR has been sharply criticized in thepast for funding racially charged ads, including several in 2004 targetingformer Democratic Rep. Martin Frost and former Republican Sen. Chuck Hagel thatfeatured dark-skinned men loitering on street corners and running from thepolice. In aneditorial, the Lincoln (Nebraska)Journal Star called the ads”trash” that “incite hate,” “play upon stereotypicalracial fears,” and “are full of half-truthsand lies.”
And yet, rather than denouncing the group,Dobbs is scheduled to be aleading voice at the upcoming FAIR rally. What’s more, his CNN show hascited FAIR as a credible source on immigration issues no fewer than six timesin the last year. Email CNN and ask them to stop Dobbs from participating inthe event:

As MediaMatters has highlighted repeatedly, Dobbs represents an ongoingthreat to CNN’s credibility as a serious news organization, in no small partbecause of his one-sided and error-prone coverage of immigration issues and hiscontinued use of his CNN show to lend prominence to hatemongering groups likeFAIR. The attention and legitimacy he gave to the racially charged”birther” movement — and CNN’s support for his actions — did evengreater damage to that credibility. But the consequences of his participationin the upcoming FAIR rally would be far worse.
It would officially put CNN onthe side not of credible journalism, but of a hate group. (This is really to good! — Ed)
Email CNN and ask them to stop Dobbs fromparticipating in the event:
