He got fired for spitting in his boss's face.

When was the last time you saw that happen and not have the spitting
fool idiot loose his job?


That's always a bad idea, isn't it? Same with burning bridges when you
move on to different work by choice.
I've returned to work for 3 different employers - because I knew not to
flap my jaws for no real purpose when I left them behind.
Still think his bosses fired him more because he was a loose cannon.
They weren't insulted or hurt by his comments, they've heard it all
before. It was just a last straw symptom of Sanchez being an asshole.

It was a short number of generations past when Jews were regularly set
apart by this very society, just like blacks, asians, etc. There's a
lot of people still alive who remember. And their children are still
alive who know what was done to their relatives during WWII.

A few have done well for themselves but guys like Sanchez are too
stupid to understand that they're the exception and not part of a
grand scheme of Jews taking over the world.

He played right into well-hewn stereotypes and ****ed into the wind.


Actually, in the context of the conversation he wasn't saying anything
offensive. He was responding to the comment that Jon Stewart was
an "oppressed minority," which is patent nonsense.
If he had just said "That's nonsense," he would still be working for CNN.
But as you say, some truths are best left unsaid because they have been
soiled by nefarious purpose.

And he probably started it all by claiming he was himself an "oppressed
minority" because he's "Latino."
He's too stupid to realize that his ethnic background and fluency in
Spanish is why he's been making big bucks instead of loading trucks.
I don't know all the details, but Sanchez always struck me as having a
chip on his shoulder.
All this BS can be avoided by not engaging in ethnic/religious
identification in the first place, and viewing people as individuals.
Or at least by remembering mama's rule "If you can't say something nice,
don't say anything."


It serves him right that he got **** in his face and lost his job. His
"apology" was pathetic and the only crew who'd likely hire him now is
the same group that'd love having Lou Dobbs.


Read the wiki on Dobbs. Except for a couple lapses in his judgment you
probably are aligned with his views.
Of course his entertaining the birthers irrevocably destroyed his
reputation.
Some mistakes don't hurt bad, others kill you.
Dobbs made the latter mistake with the birther BS. Fatal.

Maybe he can join those idiots on the couch at Fox & Friends.

Hardly. Maybe Telemundo.

getting to Carnegie Hall.
