Lou Dobbs visited Wolf Blitzer in the “Situation Room” on Friday and railed against Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice for her comments on race which she made during an interview with Washington Post editors last week. Rice who spoke at length with the paper stated that she considered race in America a problem still today, and referred to race as one of our countries “birth defects.” Dobbs proceeded to dismiss Rice’s statements, claiming race is no longer an issue in modern day America:

“The reality is, this is the most socially, ethnically, religiously, racially diverse society on the face of the earth,” Dobbs continued to say; “Now, Wolf, we don’t make enough of that in the national media. We listen to some idiot say you can’t talk about race.”

Then comes the point of no return, or in this case, nearly the point of no return. Dobbs, who was in the middle of his ranting and raving came as close as you can to committing an on air career suicide:

“Not a single one of these cotton… **realizes what he is about to say** …these just ridiculous politicians should be the moderator on the issue of race in America.”

Attached is video of the obnoxious blow hard, Dobbs, nearly making an incredibly offensive racial remark while trying to discredit the argument of race still being an issue in the United States. Good job Lou, you twit:
