Ah, so he was referring to Jews. I kind of thought “people like Stewart” and “Elite northeast liberal” was code for “University educated with a 401k.” That kind of makes his firing look a bit less like a hysterical overreaction. ---

I imagine him getting fired had far less to do with his comments about Stewart and far more to do with his insults against his bosses at CNN. Hint: Don’t go on the air to shit on your boss. Unless you think “Hey, thanks for the promotion. By the way, you’re a privileged fuckface like all the other Jews” is actually going to go over well. ---

Forget Sanchez. So he got fired. SO WHAT. It’s happened to far better people. ---

I concur. I can _see_ it as an anti-Semitic slur, but my first thought was “class-based dog whistle.” ---

Just so we’re all quite clear what was said and what wasn’t, Sanchez was talking about how elite liberals only like minorities when they stay in their place: Pete Dominick: Stewart is a minority Rick Shanchez: Oh, come on. Pete Dominick: He’s _Jewish_. Rick Shanchez: [sarcastic] Yeah! Very powerless people. [laughing] He’s such a minority, I mean, you know… Please, what are you kidding? Pete Dominick: What are you telling me? Rick Shanchez: 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? _Yeah._ Very, very clear that he’s referring to Jews there. ---

**I wish the Jews would go fuck themselves.** So does he. So do millions of other people. Jews do control 95% of the media. One of the few Gentile media giants is Ted Turner who the Jews hate. They use the media as propaganda to advance their viewpoints. It doesn’t matter if it’s MSNBC, FOX or CNN. It’s all the same stale bagel crap. John Liebowitz renamed himself John Stewart to appear more Gentile to his Goy audiences. Jews change their names a lot, but they don’t blend in. Jews have always led the Federal Reserve which is slowly, yet surely choking us to death ecomically churning out monopoly money until the value runs dry. Look at the 13 trillion dollar national debt. Who is responsible for that? I am not saying the Jews are, but who runs the Fed? Who benefits? Isreal is the greatest threat to World peace and stability. I also resent giving that country BILLIONS a year in tax aid so that they can steal land and kill innocent Palestinian people. No Jew has the right to cry about “The Holocaust” while napalming children in Gaza. Israel is such a pissant country, why can’t they live in Miami, New York or somewhere where they can play with their diamonds, sell rags, produce pornography or a hundred different rackets that they are known for. I am also resentful that the USA has to fight in these endless Middle Eastern wars, and how the armed services have almost no Jews serving in the military. 9/11 occured because of people who wanted to strike a blow at America for their support of the Zionist Occupational Government that is persecuting and murdering Muslims. Israel is the only nation in the Middle East with nuclear weapons. But that’s OK, because they are jewish and “persecuted” and will “never again” be pushed into an oven and made into lamp shades and soap (which are lies that are STILL being documented as fact. The gall and audacity to claim to be the Chosen Children of God. The pandering to ignorant Christians who think that the Jewish interlopers in Palestine are the real thing, when in actuality are decendents of Khazaria, an old kingdom near the Black Sea. A Jew like Barbra Streisand is no more of a Jew than Sammy Davis Jr. was. The Jews use “The Holocaust” as an income generator, building ugly museums in the USA using OUR TAX DOLLARS and forcing millions of schoolkids to be bored hearing the plight of their ancestors in Poland and those evil, evil, Germans. Jews have no national loyalty except to fellow Jews. As I said before, the book of Jewish war heroes is thinner than paper. Just facts. ---

I watched him a few times and found him to be a very irritating host. I could be wrong, but I thought his show was billed as straight news, not commentary, and I found him making that show too much about him. If his show was commentary, then I still didn’t like it. ---

Wait. Wait. If the jews hate Ted Turner, who isn’t jewish, then why did Rick Sanchez get fired from CNN which is run by Ted Turner?
