Does Rick Sanchez Have A Valid Point?

Jermyn Davidson · #1 10-01-2010, 07:17 PM

CNN host Rick Sanchez came under fire Friday after making controversial remarks the previous day on a satellite radio show.

Sanchez called out Comedy Central host Jon Stewart as a "bigot" for mocking him, and complained that Jews — like Stewart — don't face discrimination. He also suggested that CNN, and perhaps the media industry more broadly, is run by Jews and elitists who look down on Hispanics like himself.

Is there any truth at all to his rant?

Surely no one would really believe that Northeastern elitists and Jews could be liberal and bigotted.

Or would they?

"Very powerless people," Sanchez said, laughing. "I'm telling you that everybody who runs CNN is a lot like Stewart, and a lot of people who run all the other networks are a lot like Stewart, and to imply that somehow they -- the people in this country who are Jewish -- are an oppressed minority?"

Kind of reminds me of f-khan, a constant criticizer of Jewish influence in the government, hollywood and news media in America.

However, I don't think Sanchez and f-boy are on the same level.

One is calling it like he sees it, one is a race-baiter and full of hate.

So liberal-minded and hopelessly doomed to sabotage America with its bias, CNN, is overrun with, controlled and dominated by Jews who don't know what it is like to face discrimination.

Could he possibly be telling the truth?

But hey, Jews are God's chosen people. We love the Jews right? They can't be evil, baby-killing, homosexual sex loving, mindless Democrat talking heads, and still be the darling of Conservative America, can they?

Let someone criticize Israel or Jews in general-- heaven forbid we ever diasgree with Israeli policy on anything. If a Democrat does that, their leading America straight to destruction for not honoring God's people.

Or maybe someone wants to argue that American Jews are a completely different breed of Jew than from the Israeli Jews.

Our undying devotion to the preservation of the Jewish state without ever acknowldging their wrong doings is a hallmark of a Conservative. Maybe our over zealous posture towards Israel does not apply to the American Jews who control American media outlets....

For the record, I love all people and I actually do pray for God's mercy and protection over Israel more than any other country except America.

I'm just allowing my mind to wander as I ponder the statements by Sanchez-- the implications and his subsequent firing.

I find it all interesting, very interesting.

Sanchez was fired?

Wow...he was like their big day time dude.
And NO he does not have a point. He might as well be a skin head for his comments about jews.

He had a nasty streak.

I vaguely remembered something about CNN’s Sanchez having a DUI and when reading about it on Larry Sinclair’s blog decided to look it up.

Jeffrey Smuzinick supposedly ran out into traffic when Rick Sanchez, drunk, behind the wheel, struck and injured 32 yr old Jeffrey. A carpenter by trade. Jeffrey had severe head injuries and was paralyzed. He was in a coma for months. He underwent rehabilitation but ended up dying in a nursing home at the age of 36.

After hitting the man, Sanchez LEAVES the scene and runs home. He then returns later. Larry says he went home to get his drivers license and down a quick beer so he could tell the cops he needed to calm his nerves. (which makes it a hit and run)

Sanchez can get plastered tonight. He doesn't have to work Monday.

Yeah, I got to agree that Sanchez was off base with his remarks. I was not a fan of his, but I can see how Stewart would have gotten under his skin. Stewart has done a couple of funny bits on him in the past, but they didn't seem overly harsh.
