Dobbs may be a bit of a dufus, but "the kind of pointless left-baiting that people thought died with Joe McCarthy"? McCarthy was a dangerous person in a position of power. Dobbs is just a conservative financial journalist, and considering that three times as many journalists admit to being liberals as admit to being conservatives, his presence at CNN just balances things out a bit. OR are you gong to let your knee-jerk gut-revulsion for Dobbs guide your explicit considerations in this matter? Are you guys the kind of people that presumptuously assume that your political standpoint is simply correct, without giving any thought to questioning the assumptions that you and most of your peers hold?
