Rick Sanchez on CNN now covering the hateful pastor who wants Obama to die.

[jenmito]

Watch if you can. Steven Anderson is the pastor. Sanchez is also talking about Chris-the Black guy who had the gun on him in AZ outside Obama's town hall who agrees with the pastor.

1. How the hell does CNN justify this?

[jenmito]

2. What do you mean?

[Parker CA]

3. Is he actually interviewing the pastor?? nt.

[Fridays Child]

4. He's interviewing a former Secret Service official.

[grantcart]

15. what did the former SS official say.

[jenmito]

16. He said he knows the SS is aware of him and that it's an ongoing investigation.

He rejected Sanchez's assertion that if he were an Imam rather than a Pastor, he'd be in jail by now.

[jenmito]

5. No. He played the hateful video, had video of that guy Chris that they played, then had a Secret

Service guy on to talk about the increase in hate. Sanchez was MAD! He said as a father himself he hates the PASTOR who ALSO said he wants Sasha and Malia to be fatherless.

6. Good for Rick. He has some good moments, doesn't he? nt

[jenmito]

7. Yes, he does. He was passionate about this. His hatred for these people was obvious. n/t

[Parker CA]

8. Thanks. I was hoping they didn't give that fool a platform to spew his hate. Sanchez does go after

those who should be gone after sometimes. Good for him.

[jenmito]

9. Maybe I worded my OP wrong. But yeah, Sanchez didn't give him a platform. He slammed

him with commentary and even asked the former Secret Service guy-if he was an Imam instead of a pastor, wouldn't he be arrested by now? He said the fact that he's a so-called Christian shouldn't give him license to spew such hatred. Paraphrased.

[Parker CA]

10. Thanks, Jen!

[jenmito]

11. No problemo!

[renate]

14. Good for Rick! That's an EXCELLENT point...

... about if he were an imam instead of a pastor. He's absolutely right.

:applause:

[Fridays Child]

17. Yes, but someone should tell him that "Iman" is a model, not a Muslim cleric.

Just sayin'.

12. "Citizens Against Hate preaching Clergy"..this is good news, too, jen.

"A Phoenix based group: Citizens Against Hate preaching Clergy
http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#/group.php?gid=138682... has sent out press releases that it has formed in order to show the world that clergy who use religion to preach hate wil no longer be welcomed by the silence of a civilized citizenry in Arizona or in the rest of the nation. They are deeply concerned by the recent public blogging of Mr. Arthur Frommer that the rest of the world views their beloved state as nothing but one of right wing, racist extremist who control their legislature and that let people carry guns into bars.

Here is an excerpt from their web site: It has been in the news here in Arizona that a preacher named Steven Anderson in Tempe, Arizona preached in a sermon before the president arrived in Phoenix that he allegedly hoped that Obama would die like a snail and that he hated Obama. In attendance was a man that carried an assault rifle several days later at the event at which Obama was to speak."
