 CNN’s Sanchez Shuts Down McCain SpokesmanPosted on Oct 30, 2008
My goodness, those CNN anchors are getting feisty in these final days of the election season! Take Rick Sanchez here, who doesn’t give McCain aide Michael Goldfarb an inch when it comes to his claims about Obama’s alleged anti-Semite acquaintances. YouTube via Huffington Post:

So much outright lies and distortion it makes you mad, like Obama was not born in Hawaii, not a citize, etc. Hawaii became a state in 1959 and Obama was born in 1961, there are so many people who just believe what they here, there is a thing on CNN called factcheck, and Campbell Brown on No Bias No Bull, there is so many hints and wink, wink, things going on and now out of the woodwork comes his aunt on his fathers side.
My take on this is how can an illegal person remain in public housing, after all the public housing is paid in part by taxpayers, so my take is the Housing Authority does not let illegal people stay in public housing because people are checked each year so unless she fell through the cracks someone is making up a lot of lies.

He looked like some stupid kid caught with his fingers in the cookie jar. Good for Sanchez for making him look like what he is…....a LIAR.

As I read these comments about Mr. Goldfarb being an idiot…please, try what Cyrena is constantly asking everyone to do, just connect the dots. It’s absolutely “clearer” when you do so. Mr. Goldfarb is a “signer” of the PNAC documents. He’s “neither stupid”, nor uniformed. But what he really is just another “part” of the cabal that is trying to re-shape America and needs to be ignored. And if that proves too difficult, needs to be “fully” investigated re: to his ties and relationships with those that are part of this “conspiracy” to change our country into the PNAC model/doctrine. Give him, and those of his ilk, no room to operate in our media. Expose his ties/relationships and, if proven to not be in America’s best interests, DEPORT HIS ASS back to Israel. Where he can hear, and fear, the weaponry over his head at night. And his family going to the marketplace to buy required sustinance. Maybe that would cause a pause, and change, in his “world veiw”. Wanna bet me?

Michael Goldfarb typifies the propagandist who cannot admit that he is lying. But the bigger picture here is not how Rick Sanchez exposed Goldfarb as a fraud but just how easy it is to smear anyone with an Arabic name as being “anti-Semitic” whenever they take issue with Israel’s brutal 40+ year, illegal occupation. This is the precise misuse of antisemitism exposed by Prof. Norm Finkelstein in “Beyond Chutzpah.”

It still amazes me when the airwaves gave airtime to idiots like this. Hopefully America will be able to see through the garbage and make a sound decision.

Hey, when a mainstream news prole such as Rick Sanchez gives you trouble, you really ARE in trouble.

What an ass. We all know who Obama hangs out with? Are we going to associate Obama with Hitler now? Why don’t you just put a picture of Obama next to Adolf Hitler, Ahmadinejad and Osama Bin Laden in all grainy black & white because that’s essentially what John McCain’s campaign is right now. Pathetic.
I vote FOR candidates not AGAINST the other candidate. John McCain has no leadership ability, no ideas and a no good record for America. He can’t say anything about how he’ll do any of the crazy shit that comes out of his mouth.
He’ll cut taxes, keep us in an endless occupation, somehow get more people to go into Afghanistan and… freeze government spending? Batshit, insane, stupid. Kinda like Sarah Palin.

I disliked Rick Sanchez for a long time, ever since his longtime stint as an anchor on WSVN Channel 7 news in Miami during the 1980s. And from what I’ve mostly seen recently on CNN, he still sucks. But he hit this one out the park.

John McCain said Reverend Wright was off the table as an issue—back when McCain was in a more high-minded campaign mode.

It was SOOOO obvious, but knew he could come right out and say it since it would be Defamation and Slander.
Report thisWhat is even more ridiculous is th efact that making such a non statement encourages the rest of US (should include the FREE media) to make the Very real connection between McCain and his Mentoring of AQ in the ‘80’s.
Think about what would ahve happened if Reagan’s Puppets and Mac’s Anti Communist group had not aided and Comforted the Fledgling Afghani ‘freedom Fighters’ in the ‘80’s.The USSR could have destroyed them before they ever really developed. Had we not already known that those in the ME are irradic? did we not already KNOW that by aiding them we could ultimately become theri targets? Or was that the Exact reason for this Aid? Seems those attacks on 9/11 have been a ‘Blessing’ to this Admin and their Foreign & Corp sponsors. Oil prices skyrocketed making Billionaires over night, Arms and Weapons manufactures and dealers showing Record profits too. And Unfettered powers to ONLY one branch of our gov’t….sound like a Coup to me.
there is no need to hunt down Bin laden these groups have produced thousands more to take his place- not by accident through blunders..But Through methodical means to an end. the real Terrorist to this country hide in the WH, Nooks & Crannies of Congress,and Board rooms.
I Want Justice above all else. Without it we condone their actions and perpetuate it into the future. there should be Hundreds if not thousands of Feet Dangling form Our ‘yardarm’ since THEY are the ones who have nearly Sunk our ship, called Democracy….and their ‘Lil dogs Too’!!

Rick Sanchez could have asked Michael Goldfarb about his racist support for Jews-only settlements and land grabs in the occupied territories.

The saddeest part is that this idiot’s career won’t necessarily be over after this election, but rather he’ll go on to bigger and better thing within the Neocon movement.

I guess Michael Goldfarb is alluding to Reverend Wright, but Goldfarb, like John McCain, is a hypocrite. To Goldfarb, it’s okay for McCain’s outfit to give money to Professor Khalidi, but Obama is not supposed to have anything to do with him.
Khalidi, by the way, opposes Zionist expansionism and favors a two-state solution, as does practically the entire world.

So Goldfarb, in his smug “hold still so I can smack the shit out of you” way, is saying “It’s obvious who we’re talking about”. Who is it he’s not saying? I mean, tis’ like “Duh, we’re talking about Margaret Thatcher” - but am I just dense and dont’ know who he’s alluding to?

Goldfarb gives what is quite possibly the pug-ugliest interview I’ve seen this election season. Wrong on so many levels. It’s a tribute to American tolerance that such lowlifes are permitted access to the airwaves.
Cheers to Sanchez for giving this Golem just enough rope.
