Saturday, October 2, 2010

CNN fired Rick Sanchez on Friday afternoon in response to a radio interview on a SiriusXM radio show during which Sanchez called Comedy Central late-night host Jon Stewart a "bigot" and implied that the media as a whole are controlled by Jews.

[Ignignokt]

he's right.

[Ignignokt]

I mean i don't have a problem with the common jude, but for some reason the secular elite jewry seem to want to run our country into a statist state.

Their orthodox brethren aren't having it, and are revolting against these secular jews who aren't jew by faith but just blood and who hate their own religion aswell as their own jewry.

[Stringer_Bell]

He's such a coconut, can't even pronounce his own last name correctly. He's exploited his culture and tried to pass himself off as something he's not, the only reason the news bosses don't like him is that he's an awkward mix of tones from an anchor standpoint. He can argue about racism, but everyone knows his failed attempts to make Hispanics comsumable to CNN's audience aren't the result of Jews controlling his shitty news show...it's cuz he's the Uncle Tom of Spanish people - Tio Pablo, muthafucka!

your bigotry, which is bigger than your tiny dick (unwarranted assumption that you have one)

[BlackSwordsMan]

the jews that control the media fired him

[BlairForceDejuan]

Just another whiny bitchass lib relying too much on the "bigot" kneejerk and getting curb stomped.

[mrsmaalox]

Pretty dumb of him to let a comedian get under his skin like that.

[boutons_deux]

dumb is as dumb does

-- Mama Gump

My guess is CNN knew Sanchez was loser, and the new mgmt was just looking for an opportunity to dump him. Fox Repug Propaganda network could use a token Hispanic. Otherwise, Rick will probably disappear, like Dobbs and Zahn.

Sand-chez, like the way white people say Mark Sand-chez. So fucking annoying.

And no, I doubt he goes to Fox cuz he's talked a lot of shit about Beck and Fox News in general. Then again, maybe they might go after the Mexican demographic of house-maids and daycare workers from 10am-2pm. Sneaky bastards!

[Parker2112]

With the anti-semite thing going, he might wind up hawking anti-NWO books over at infowars.

Sand-chez, like the way white people say Mark Sand-chez. So fucking annoying.


Really? We throw a "d" in there? :lmao


Do we also say Sandta Claus? Carlos Sandtana? Sand Fransicso?

[DarrinS]

By the way, Mark SANchez is having a good season (so far).

[MiamiHeat]

he is right

go look it up.

look up who owns all the major news outlets, motion picture studios, newspapers, etc.

you will find an unusually large amount are all jews

[Creepn]

I never understood this whole "jew" thing. What is the implication here? What does it mean that "jews" are in a lot of business control stuff? There are a lot of "christians" that are in a lot of the same stuff as well.

[ChumpDumper]

It just means that certain people think certain Jews are out to get them.

I see. God help us all if they were muslims instead.

Hell yes, there's nothing wrong with adding consonants to all sorts of words. It's when people start manipulating the vowels that problems occur.

[Parker2112]

I never understood this whole "jew" thing. What is the implication here? What does it mean that "jews" are in a lot of business control stuff? There are a lot of "christians" that are in a lot of the same stuff as well.

The implication is that:
1. There is a elite powerful contingent within the Jewish population within this country that dictate our foriegn policy to ensure it is consistent with the wants/needs of Israel, and thus we are perpetually tied into the conflict in the Middle East because of the influence of a small number of hugely powerful "zionist" Jews here in the US. Believers in this theory would blame this influence for perpetual war and imperialist behaviors we currently see here in the US.

2. A contingent of the Jewish community here in the US instigates such a perpetual war scenario to profit on it, since they have massive control within the banking industry, as well as our currency. They have the power to coin money (controlling interests in the Federal Reserve) and fund our war efforts (printing money out of thin air) while earning interest on the return, and causing our economy to fail through the ensuing inflation.

3. That this has been the M.O. of this "Jewish" contingent for centuries: capture control of the currency, and thus gain real control of the country, completely independent of the governmental body, and thus not subject to the will of the voters. And to initiate armed conflict and fund both sides, taking repayment+interest from the winner, and ownership of valuable assets from the loser. This is claimed to have been going on since the times of Napolean.

4. That by owning most major media outlets, they can facilitate this control of the country by disseminating what info they would have us believe.

I only unraveled this thread recently, and I know it is pretty similar to the plotline Hitler used to denounce Jews in Germany prior to WWII in an attempt to justify the Holocaust to the people of Germany and the World.

I always wondered the same thing...why would anyone villify the Jewish people? They seemed cool to me. Well, the bottom line: suspicious anti-semites claim they come into a country, take control of the currency, then take complete control from behind the scenes, leading it into war and ruin.

I dont buy it, and I sort of feel bad spreading this malicious misinformation about Jewish people even if Im just trying to inform you of what the story is, but I think everyone can make up your own mind here. If you are not predisposed to bigotry, you wont buy the shit.

[Creepn]

Hmmm, now that you mention it, there are a couple of jews in congress...probably enough to vote their way. I should look up which of the jews that are in congress that voted to start the war in Iraq to see if that theory holds up.

So that's why Mel Gibson said that Jews are responsible for most of the world's wars huh? Thanks for clearing that up Parker.

I always felt that we were mostly sympathetic to jews because after all we did liberate them from that torture they've endured and that they are still getting hassle from other ethnic groups.

BUT on the other hand, I did have to educate myself to why they were always getting grief from other people like the Palestinians. I surely wasn't gonna get that type of information from the news....

Some claim that this originated centuries ago, because Christians' faith forbid them from charging interest on loans, and since Jewish people had no such limitation, they mastered the business of banking before anyone else.

Interesting theory.

Also, Anti-semitic conspiracies aside, there is a lot of interesting information surrounding the practice of war-profiteering (profiting from war), that I think everyone should be aware of. It is in no way limited to Jewish people, but it is key to understanding the driving forces behind war and imperialistic policies.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_profiteering

These conspiracies have been around for a long time, and are the primary driving philosophies for a lot of ultra-right wing neo-nazi/skinhead groups. But the theories have picked up new torch-bearers in the Anti-New World Order groups like Alex Jones, who claim that a group of world elite are driving us to a one-world fascist government, and in the meantime are trying to undermine our soveriegnty by undermining our economy and bankrupting us with war and socialist policies. While you will never hear the word "Jew," this line of thinking commonly uses the terms "bankster, money men," which could be code-talk for Jew.

Here is a discussion of both Mel Gibson and Alex Jones as possible Anti-Semites.

Why do you "sort of feel bad" about it, Parker2112?

[MiamiHeat]

the jewish struggle goes back for centuries.

they are salivating at the mouth for a chance to rebuild their temple. the first one was destroyed by the babylonians, then the 2nd one was destroyed by the romans, led by roman general titus i believe, who has a famous arch of titus in italy to commemorate the sacking of jerusalem.

since then, jews have been "wanderers" in "foreign" lands, as they call it.

this is the entire reasoning behind the creation of the Jewish State in 1949 (i believe) after World War 2. They finally got their chance, amidst the chaos, to petition and influence world politicians to give them "their land"

so the West threw out the "palestinians" from the land, and they have been fighting israel ever since due to this.

The next step for the jews (the powerful ones) is to rebuild a 3rd temple. the only problem is, there is a popular mosque in the spot they want to build it in LOL.

its NO COINCIDENCE that Israel has been caught RED HANDED trying to frame other countries/terrorist organizations by attacking the United States. this is to get us to go to war for them and help them....

if you dont believe any of this, you have no fucking clue what humans are capable of. go read up on your history on what humans, world rulers, wealthy people have done throughout history.

the USA has already caught israel red handed attacking the USA and trying to frame someone else to make us go to war for them.

not ALL jews are like this.... just a handful of powerful ones.

[Winehole23]

^^^nice timing

Your unashamed anti-semitism is an apt foil for Parker's merely ironic bigotry.

So, a drunk Sanchez runs over and kills a man in the 90's and keeps his job; makes up quotes and attributes them to a Conservative radio personality, in effort to thwart his bid for part ownership in an NFL franchise, and keeps his job; shows his stupidity on a regular basis, as evidenced by his bewilderment of how a volcano could erupt in Iceland, and keeps his job; but, damn, say something a bit negative about Jon Stewart or network ownership and -- goodbye!

Wasn't his the highest-rated show CNN had at the moment?

:lmao

[Parker2112]

Remorse perhaps, but I do not sense any reluctance on your part to share malicious misinformation in detail.

Why do you "sort of feel bad" about it, Parker2112?

In a way I am propogating the narrative. However, I wondered about this for years, wondered about how anyone could ever villify an ethnic group with such a rich heritage.

And though I dont believe that this line of thinking describes the Jews, anymore than you can take a historical account of the crips and bloods and say that it describes blacks, I see it as informative in many ways...if you understand this theory, you can easily spot it when speakers attempt to propogate it, and there is value in that.

[Parker2112]

^^^nice timing

Your unashamed anti-semitism is an apt foil for Parker's merely ironic bigotry.

If I say that the New Black Panther Party has plans to overthrow the federal government, does that make me racist?

It might imply deeper resentment towards people of color, but then again it might not.

I think this thread would better benefit from your response to his post, rather than the name calling/personal attacks that you seem to be so good at.

I think the honest discussion is beneficial. I have Jewish family members, and I have spoken with them about this frankly. I dont know why you are scared to.

[Parker2112]

Can you explain this a little more? How were they caught red handed?

look up the term "false-flag attack."

[Supergirl]

Good job, CNN. Unload your deadweight. Sanchez was a useless sack of shit, you know they were just waiting for a good excuse to fire him. So many talented Latinos out there, and this is the best CNN could do?

[Wild Cobra]

I'm not sure, but I think the implication is that the Jewish people make shrewd businessmen.

Wow...

Parker's idea is overboard, and I think I will add antisemitic as one of his character flaws.

[MiamiHeat]

The simple mind always tries to reduce an argument to a level of their own understanding.

thus, stating facts about the issue, to a simple mind, becomes "you're an anti-semite!, cause like, you are saying jews do bad things!"

[MiamiHeat]

Can you explain this a little more? How were they caught red handed?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lavon_Affair

israeli government doing it.

also, the whole "prime minister didn't know about it" is called plausible deniability. he knew about it, but the underlings take the fall as "rogues" and protect the country from shame if they get caught.

not the only time israel did it, just an example.

[MiamiHeat]

oh, and how about you guys learn about what jews did after Britain helped them gain control of palestine by chasing the arabs out?

they then turned on britain and created TERRORIST MILITANT organizations like the Irgun led by future israeli prime minister menachem begin.

THEY WALKED INTO A HOTEL AND BOMBED IT, INNOCENT PEOPLE AND ALL.

fucking hypocritical to whine about the palestinians bombing them, isn't it? Who do you think they learned it from?

The Jews (the wealthy intellectuals, not your nextdoor neighbor) see themselves as "in exile" until they complete their agenda

[Parker2112]

Wow...

Parker's idea is overboard, and I think I will add antisemitic as one of his character flaws.

Fuck you WC.

Its not my idea. I dont believe it. I have not disparaged Jewish people in any form here. This theory has been propogated by hateful groups for centuries, and the latest seems to be the ultra-right wingers. You are much closer to that description than I can ever be.

THE IMPORTANT THING TO TAKE HOME: this theory has gone underground to avoid the difficulty of being heard over the chants of "Anti-semite." Not only that, but it is spread through the code-speak of people like David Icke, etc. who can propogate anti-semitic beliefs to people who have no idea what the root of the plotline they receive actually is. It is helpful to let the message be torn out of the shadows and see the light of day. If a person leans towards bigotry you cant stop them from their tendencies. But in a time when fear is being used so effectively to manipulate the American people, it is a worthy cause to disarm the true anti-semitic message by understanding what they preach.

And just to get you straight, since you cant discern the facts from your muddled interpretation of the same:

We are talking about distinct things here: People of a given religion, people of a certain nationality, people of a certain elite financial plane, and people of a distinct heritage.

These disparate classes are getting muddled into a single category: Jews.

That is the failing of this discussion. To criticize Israel is not to be anti-semitic, any more than to criticize GWB is anti-American. And etc. and etc. and etc.

Unlike you're kindred bretheren here, I dont post story after story after story about people of certain heritage, trying to inflict a biased view on others. I am simply shining light on the underbelly of the ultra-right wingers in your neighborhood who hold their clan meetings in the Gorge.

[Winehole23]

I think the honest discussion is beneficial. I have Jewish family members, and I have spoken with them about this frankly. I dont know why you are scared to.Pointing out the total dishonesty of the framing doesn't make me scared or you a truthteller. You spread garbage and call it wisdom.

[Wild Cobra]

I agree, and your generalization of them as a group is every bit insulting as racism when regarding black people.

Why do you do that?


That is the failing of this discussion. To criticize Israel is not to be anti-semitic, any more than to criticize GWB is anti-American. And etc. and etc. and etc.

Well, I have a hard time criticizing the good people of Israel knowing the suffrage they have. Ever work close with actual citizens of Israel? I have.

So if a History textbook repeats any part of the plotline used against the Jews in Nazi Germany, does that book become anti-semitic?

Ratings Woes Continue for CNN’s Rick Sanchez
BY ROBERT SEIDMAN – JULY 29, 2010

In July Rick Sanchez and CNN had a very tough month compared to July 2009. Rick’s List was down over 50% with the advertising-centric 25-54 demographic where Situation Room averaged 276,000 viewers last July and Rick’s List averaged 134,000 this July.

Rick’s List was down nearly 50% with overall viewers, too. In July 2009, Situation Room averaged 1.083 million from 4p-5p. This July Rick’s List averaged 555,000.

Note: CNN’s ratings were still riding highs last July due to coverage of the death of Michael Jackson.

Pointing out the total dishonesty of the framing doesn't make me scared or you a truthteller. You spread garbage and call it wisdom.

Knowledge of the plotline itself is knowledge nonetheless. I believe in knowledge. You believe that certain knowledge is forbidden. And whats worse, the knowledge you claim is off limits is the very thing that leads unwitting listeners to folks like Icke and Alex Jones to give the message credibility when the roots of the message make the plant rotten and the listener potentially sick.

[Parker2112]

I agree, and your generalization of them as a group is every bit insulting as racism when regarding black people.



When did I generalize anyone?

You point to a single sentence. Or stfu.

not at all. the argument is whether repeating the discouraging plotline = anti-semitism.

And we do agree that the plotline is trash.

Not talking about the nazi plotline just to be clear.

Everything that I have talked about... from currency control to undermine a country's sovereignty, to false-flag attacks, to war profiteering... they have likely been carried out by every race, creed and color on every settled continent since the time money was coined.

Any plotline that strictly speaks of Jews as the root of all evil is trash, pure and simple.

Ya not the root of all evil of course not, but there's a plotline nonetheless. That part may not be trash and it kind of gives me an understanding now about all this "jew" talk.

I'm not gonna go on a jew hating spree because of it either because like you said, many others done it and America done some fucked up shit too. Real fucked up shit.

Rich Sanchez came off as an arrogant cocky bastard on CNN. He would always brag about being bilingual when there was a story that had anything to do with the Spanish language or Latinos. He would also try to score points with Latino guests by speaking in Spanish.

[jack sommerset]

Stewart just got the best of old Ricky Ricardo. I doubt the dude is a anti-semitic.

[Latarian Milton]

IMHO no talkshow host should be fired as long as he never uses racist and dirty vocabularies. just some listeners got butthurt by his comments and plotted the revolt against him IMHO. anyway it's a business and his boss has the decisive right to fire any employee working for him. Im sure the host will find a new job soonly, to continue his talkshow career with another media giant like CBS, fox etc....

his ratings weren't performing like CNN wanted them to.

speaking english isn't something very easy for the foreigners and immigrants whose mother tongues are not english like Rich Sanchez. tbh english isn't your 1st language either so you must know how difficult it is and how much credit Sanchez deserves for speaking it so well. im sorry to say it but you're currently nonlingual tbh. your motherlanguage is a worthless one than doesn't count and that's the only language your speak imho. broken language doesn't count either, that's why you're nonlingual tbh.

[MiamiHeat]

and really, go look it up.

Walt Disney Company, Touchstone, ABC, CBS, NBC, ESPN, Newsweek, Time Warner, EVERY FUCKING MAJOR STUDIO, TV COMPANY, OR THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH MEDIA is most likely run by Jews. Even fucking newspapers.

it's not a fucking "hate" speech. it's FACTS. AN ACCURATE observation.

If a bunch of orange-bellied mockingbirds owned these things, we'd say the same thing. "Orange-bellied mockingbirds own x"

[boutons_deux]

It's well known that Jews excel in many areas far exceeding their quota as percentage of the population. Entertainment, academia, law, medicine, science/Nobel winners, real estate, finance, along with their specialty of precious metals/gems/jewelry. Some of this specialization was forced upon the Jews because in Europe for centuries they were forbidden from many areas, esp owning real estate.

What's the point anybody bringing that up? It's almost always anti-semitic and derogatory, not just a statement of fact.

Its important to understand how sinister forces can work to undermine our freedoms and our sovereignty, so that part is valuable.

But as with anything, the danger is in buying into other people's fears, fears based on hate and prejudice directed at those different from themselves, projections on innocent scapegoats to explain their own shortcomings. That part is trash.

There is a chapter in there about Jewish immigrants who came to the United States with a knowledge of industry from working in factories throughout Europe.

The premise of the chapter is that this knowledge allowed this early generation of Jewish immigrants to do more than just support their families through physical labor...it allowed them to act as a foundation for their children, who experienced their parents entrepeneurial endeavevors from the youngest of ages, and who eventually far outpaced other ethnic groups in becoming professionals in the next generation.

This point parallels the premise of the book, which is that a small head start grows into a larger and larger advantage over time.

Another chapter explains how Chinese as a primary language make mathematics easier for kids.

Another talks about the advantage the Beatles had playing set after set in Hamburg brothels.

Another talks about the advantage that Bill Gates had with free time working on a mainframe as a teenager in Washington state.

Another talks about the advantage kids in Canada who are born in January have when it comes to hockey.

Interesting stuff.

He can argue about racism, but everyone knows his failed attempts to make Hispanics comsumable to CNN's audience aren't the result of Jews controlling his shitty news show...it's cuz he's the Uncle Tom of Spanish people - Tio Pablo, muthafucka!

nice post. see you later tio taco agringado!

In the manner in which Sanchez spoke, also, there was something like a buried resentment. He didn't descend into saying that there was Jewish control of the media, but he did imply that liberalism was linked to a single ethnicity. Still, there is nothing criminal about this, and the speed of his firing, like the other recent abrupt disappearances of Laura Schlessinger (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/08/19/arts/television/19laura.html) and Octavia Nasr (http://www.nytimes.com/2010/07/08/business/media/08cnn.html?ref=cnn), seems to suggest a network system that cares only about playing safe and avoiding "offense." http://www.slate.com/id/2269846/pagenum/all/#p2

(with lyrics because you know you want to sing along)

Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right.
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', ("This is my message to you-ou-ou:")

Singin': "Don't worry 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry (don't worry) 'bout a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!"

Rise up this mornin',
Smiled with the risin' sun,
Three little birds
Pitch by my doorstep
Singin' sweet songs
Of melodies pure and true,
Sayin', "This is my message to you-ou-ou:"

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, worry about a thing, oh!
Every little thing gonna be all right. Don't worry!"
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing" - I won't worry!
"'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."

Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right" - I won't worry!
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing,
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right."
Singin': "Don't worry about a thing, oh no!
'Cause every little thing gonna be all right!
