La Raza Head Stands By 2008 Attack on Lou Dobbs's 'Hate Speech'

[More in the cross-post on the MRC's NewsBusters blog.]

Janet Murguia, president of the liberal National Council for La Raza, took credit for Lou Dobbs's departure from CNN during a 4 January 2015 interview on C-SPAN's Q&A program, and repeated a six-year-old charge that the host directed "hate speech" against Hispanics and immigrants. Murguia claimed that Dobbs forwarded a "negative mindset – but more than anything else, a pejorative mindset" about Latinos using "terms that the ADL had said were hate speech terms."
