The only time I’ve every heard the phrase used is when referring to Jewish people by those pretending they aren’t actually racist. ‘He looks a little like a northeast liberal elitist.’ It couldn’t _possibly_ be referring to the social peers of, say, John Kerry, the Kennedys, Arlen Specter, Chris Dodd, Michael Bloomberg and Joe Lieberman? ---

I presume they mean actual liberals, at the very least, which pretty much eliminates Specter, Bloomberg and Lieberman. ---

> [@](#): > > Rick Sanchez: [sarcastic] Yeah! Very powerless people. [laughing] He’s such a minority, I mean, you know… Please, what are you kidding? Ironically, to a lot of latinos of other national origins, Sanchez, as a _Cuban_-American , would be himself perceived (perhaps unfairly, but he \*would \* be) as worthy of the “oh, sure, such a powerless minority” eyerolling. ---

There’s something rather sad about somebody who says things like this… > [@](#): > > He prefers to be called Rick Sanchez rather than use his birth name because, he said in a newscast in 2009, “…I want to be respectful of this wonderful country that allowed us as Hispanics to come here, and I think it’s easier if someone’s able to understand me by Anglicizing my name.” …claiming aggrieved minority status. ---

So if you work in media and think the Jews run the industry then calling them out isn’t very smart. ---

Yes, I had heard that Jews dumbed down Sanchez. They were apparently successful beyond their wildest dreams. ---

Sanchez had a point. Rick Sanchez was made fun of because John Stewart was Jewish and Rick is Cuban. It wasn’t because Stewart is a comedian and Rick Sanchez is a buffoon. I mean c’mon which explanation is more likely? ---

A more sober presentation was offered by [Juan Cole](http://www.juancole.com/2010/10/sanchez-v-stewart-el-error-del-dia.html). He concludes: > [@Juan Cole](#): > > Sanchez had it all wrong, from beginning to end. Stewart is the ally of the values he said he advocates, and there are lots of Jewish families, many of them fairly recent immigrants, who live a life his father would recognize. As for being made fun of by Stewart, Sanchez doesn’t seem to realize that it only means you have arrived. If he didn’t get that, he wasn’t anchor material. Substantiation available in the link. ---

Sanchez is a buffone masquerading as a journalist. It’s rich that he would take offense at Jon Stewart’s pointing at him and laughing. ---

> [@Captain\_Midnight](#): > > **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. Cap, I’m late to the party, but I can’t resist the inclination to make a simple request: Reach down, violently rip your penis off, and shove it up your ass. ---
