    I have seen this guy for years on various shows, usually on FOX as a "progressive" voice. He's mainly a racebaiter who drops his race bombs when he can't engage in civil debate and then when called on immediately does the "well let's just move on we all know so-and-so is racist". Seems even CNN has had enough.

    EXCLUSIVE: CNN Fires Marc Lamont Hill Following Israel Comments

    CNN severed ties with contributor Marc Lamont Hill on Thursday, following comments the university professor made about Israel and Palestine in a speech at the United Nations.

    “Marc Lamont Hill is no longer under contract with CNN,” a CNN spokesperson told Mediaite.

    Hill urged countries to boycott Israel in a speech on Wednesday, calling for a “free Palestine from the river to the sea.” His comments sparked an immediate backlash, with many noting “from the river to the sea” is a phrase used by Hamas and other anti-Israel terror groups. The phrase implies the replacement of Israel by a Palestine stretching from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea — though Hill disputes this characterization of his comments.

    Can't resist making the Sanford & Son reference..."You big Dummy".
