‘Let Me Finish’: Things Get Tense As CNN’s Anderson Cooper Grills ‘Draw Muhammad’ Contest Organizer
The Blaze ^ | 5/28/15 | Oliver Darcy

CNN’s Anderson Cooper repeatedly pressed on Thursday the organizer of another controversial “draw Muhammad” cartoon contest set to take place in Phoenix Friday.

“You yourself have said this is a provocation … so what are you really trying to achieve?” Cooper asked former U.S. Marine Jon Ritzheimer, who is seen on Facebook wearing a “F*** Islam” t-shirt.

“Well, I’m really trying to achieve exposing Islam and the truth about what’s written in the Koran. … Some would even probably argue that the signers that signed the Declaration of Independence was a bad idea, back in their day,” Ritzheimer replied.

“So you’re comparing yourself to the signers of the Declaration of Independence?” Cooper asked.

“Uh, yeah. I just don’t want to live in fear,” Ritzheimer replied. “I shouldn’t have to live in fear.”

The CNN host continued to press.

“What are you afraid of?” he asked.

“Well, we’ve received a bunch of credible threats. I’ve already had the police come to my house. My family is currently packing up and they are going into hiding,” the former Marine answered.

Cooper then asked Ritzheimer if he believes he helped support terrorism by serving as a Marine in support of an Islamic government overseas.

“You were helping bolster an Islamic government in Iraq. So why were you doing that?” Cooper asked.

“I was over there, I was over there following orders,” Ritzheimer replied.

Hey Coop, why don’t you walk down the street in a muslim country holding the hand of your husband?

Then come back and enlighten us with your experience.

Or send your head to.

The religion of peace would cut little Anderson’s homo throat in a nanosecond. He’s an uneducated donkey.

What nonsense. There is something wrong with him.

He's a leftist and a homosexual.

So yeah, there's a lot of something wrong with him.
