On his television program “Countdown” Thursday, Olbermann gave his daily “worst person in the world” award to Dobbs for comments earlier in the week in which the CNN host called the ADL “a joke."In an exchange on “Lou Dobbs Tonight” on Monday, Janet Murguia, a Latino civil rights activist, cited ADL research into extremist groups whose representatives Dobbs had featured on his show, and then she described the league as a respected voice."Not by me,” Dobbs replied, “It’s a joke."Neither Dobbs nor the ADL has yet to respond to JTA’s request for comment.
