CNN's Rick Sanchez - Independent Thinker

Krya Phillips is hot about Larry Whitten, a motel owner who, for 40 years, has asked his switchboard employees to answer the phone with an anglicized name. Most of these employees have been Hispanic. Following the segment where she publicly berates Mr. Whitten, they go to Rick Sanchez. Now, Sanchez tells Kyra that he agrees with the motel owner, she is absolutely beside herself. It's beautiful, and Sanchez deserves a lot of credit.

What exactly did Mr. Sanchez say that makes him a racist hate monger? Seems to me that you should examine your bigoted attitudes.

He was fired because liberals hate being made fun of more than anything else. The brass at CNN think of themselves as cool - and someone like this Rick guy who attracts the laughs of the Jon Stewart crowd hurts them more than being wrong.

The irony is that nobody watches CNN anymore anyway.

like Scwarzenegger would have been respectful for all the US citizen if he spelled them "Blackman"(direct translation)

From European extraction...I don't know why so many people make such a big deal out if being hispanic, spanish descendant.

I wonder what name did he use on his DUI/manslaughter wrap?

I see some people don't know sarcasm when they read it.  My earlier post, I was repeating the Liberal mantra that anyone thinking for themselves, as Sanchez did here, anything thats not pro-Leftism, is by default a racist. ... I commend Sanchez for thinking clearly (this once). The rest of you need to learn what sarcasm sounds like.

What is interesting is that when you visit Taos, it is to enjoy the culture there. The Spanish language as it was once spoken in Spain, the Pueblo Indians. Rick Sanchez ancestry is from Cuba. What would he think if Larry Whitten went into the Cuban part of Miami and pulled his crap. Fair is fair. If Larry can pull this crap in Taos, then maybe we need to apply it all over the USA. Like German Town in PA, Finnish in Lake Worth FL, Chinatown in SF, Little Italy in New York. Quit picking on Latinos

Wow theadrock13!  You are a deep thinker.

[susiejo1189]

Did you even listen to the clip? He is Hispanic! He made an excellent point that went beyond Kyra Phillips typical, liberal knee-jerk reaction to call everybody a racist and actually thought about the situation. And by the way, just because you are against illegal immigration (because, you know, it's... illegal) doesn't mean you hate Mexicans or anybody else.

[theadrock13]

Rick Sanchez is a racist! He hates Mexicans and other undocumented laborors. This audio proves that he is an Uncle Tom... er, Uncle Taco. CNN should fire him for being a hate monger. He should be charged under PrezBo's new hate crimes law.
