Q&A With Rick Sanchez

I was a bit surprised that Sanchez was swiftly ejected, rather than put through what has become a relatively routine process of publicly groveling and whining to retain one’s job. Immediate termination is too harsh, especially against a fellow in the anti-White cosmopolitan coalition. These sorts of moments are best capitalized upon by intimidating the person in private into making apparently heartfelt and and unprovoked apologies in public. The chief opinion-makers, like Christopher Hitchens and even Jon Stewart himself, had no choice but to immediately came out in Sanchez’s defense.

It should come as no surprise that the Washington Post is doing its part to rehabilitate Rick Sanchez, cleaning up the mess that was ultimately made when Rick’s White gentile boss, terrified of Jewish Power, made the mistake of firing the culprit before calling Abe Foxman. As a word to the wise, if you ever find yourself in mortal terror of being vaporized by organized Jewry, don’t hesitate to give organized Jewry a call. Abe will probably encourage you to dance your way out of it.

The Washington Post, Abe Foxman’s favorite newspaper (explicitly Jewish newspapers too frequently discuss and criticize Jews for his taste), is helping Rick Sanchez hop back on the road to redemption with a recent article, Rick Sanchez talks to Post about offensive remarks. It’s a carefully staged publicity stunt Q&A in which Sanchez carefully answers cherry-picked questions:

Denver, Colo.: When other notable personalities expressed racist views, Mel Gibson, Michael Richards, etc., did you cut them as much slack, either on-the-air or in your own mind, as you seem to be asking us to cut you?

Rick Sanchez: Thank you for the question.

My comments were very different from the comments expressed by Gibson and Green. I did not bring religion into the conversation during my comments. [...]

Translation: Nope, because they’re racist crackers and I’m not.

Grand Rapids, Mich.: Prior to your comments about Jon Stewart and Jews in the media/entertainment industry, were you aware of the history of anti-Semitism in the U.S. in certain major industries (e.g. commercial banking; automobile) which, in turn, led to many American Jews turning to, and indeed helping to create, newer industries (e.g. investment banking; media/entertainment). How might knowledge of that history have effected your mindset about Jews two weeks ago? Do you think such history matters today?

Translation: Our domination of major U.S. industries is all the more proof that we’re victims of anti-Semitism!

Rick Sanchez: Thank you for your question. It’s important to note that comments were made during an interview that lasted almost an hour [I didn't only have an anti-Semitic outburst. I also talked about the weather, too!]. Much of what people have heard have been just snippets from that conversation so I can understand why many have taken offense to those selected comments and I truly apologize for them. However, it’s very important to take into consideration that I have spent a large part of my career confronting anti-Semites [All of them except yourself? -MP]. As Jon Stewart showed during a clip on The Daily Show last Monday, my record is replete with instances where I’ve chased down neo-Nazis, called out Aryan nation leaders and taken on the KKK [Of course, now it's obvious that you did so because you're anti-White, not because you're pro-Jewish.]. It’s all there, something any Lexus-Nexus search will illustrate. That’s important.

Urbana, Ill.: In terms of “discrimination” does Mr. Sanchez believe that he was selected by CNN because he is good looking or does he believe that he would have been chosen if he were not handsome? Is this discrimination?

Rick Sanchez: Thank you for the question. I don’t see myself in any way as other than suburban dad with four kids, a beautiful wife and a devotion to them and my god. I’m humbled by your suggestion but I do not believe that my looks have had an effect on my marketability.

Translation: I actually think I got where I’m at through talent alone.

*

Naples, Fla.: I am very upset that you are gone. Was a thorough investigation made to determine if Stewart really is a bigot? Or was the decision made to back Stewart because he is popular? Only you and other Hispanics, women, African Americans and Asians know when the establishment does not want them being equal. This needs a deep look into. Will you be back on TV? I sure hope so. Good luck.

Translation: ¿Que pasa? I’m also an anti-White Hispanic bigot.

Rick Sanchez: [...] I was trying to get across the broader point, which I mention in my book, Conventional Idiocy, about the media [Buy my book]. And here’s the point: There are two types of media today. [...]

We’re living in a “gotcha” time where comments like mine are blown up while the bigger, more important issues of our day are ignored. This, too, is what I discuss in my book, Conventional Idiocy [Seriously, I just got fired from my day job. Please buy my book].

Westlake, Ohio: Okay, Mr. Sanchez, you have a distinct style that invited some satire and yes, the tasing was a bit “over the top,” but your show was great to watch because you brought a distinct Hispanic presence that mass media definitely needed to see and hear. Now that you are off the air, do you see anyone (not including the Spanish-speaking media) tapping into those vast resources that non-Spanish speaking Hispanics (and non-Hispanic) media consumers need to hear from?

Rick Sanchez: It’s not just about Hispanics, it’s about all of us. If I have in any way helped to start a conversation about how we as a country begin treating each other, no matter where we come from, then maybe some good will come of this. It is true though that today’s media landscape for prime-time news is not very diverse. In fact, there is not — as far as I can tell — a single African American nor Hispanic nor Asian American host on a major U.S. network doing a newscast. That’s unsettling [Hire me!].

This does not mean in any way, shape or form, that people should be given jobs based on their religion or ethnicity [Hire me, but don't tell me why you hired me.] but it does make one pause as to whether there is a true representation of our society in the media.

Nashville, Tenn.: Do you feel the media’s coverage of your comments about Stewart and subsequent dismissal from CNN has been fair? It seems like the media has boiled it down to a Stewart vs. Sanchez type of coverage. Would you be willing to go on The Daily Show to discuss this issue and resolve your differences?

Rick Sanchez: Yes I would. I called Jon [Editor's Note: Sanchez did the correct thing to do after making an unfriendly remark about Jews in public, and will get to keep his career.]. In fact it was the very first phone call I made after my distasteful comments. He and I agree on many more things than we disagree [We both hate Whitey]. And I would look forward to having future conversations with him and I would be willing to apologize to him on-air.

New York, N.Y.: Had any talks with CNN, Fox News or anyone else about a new job yet?

Rick Sanchez: [...] I relish the opportunity of being able to once again be host a show on television or on radio to make people think. In the meantime though I will concentrate on my publishing efforts by sitting down to pen another book about this experience and continue to promote my latest book, Conventional Idiocy [For the love of the Virgin of Guadeloupe, please buy my book!!!].
