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

Posted on 05/28/2015 9:06:04 PM PDT by Impala64ssa

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.

Video at link. Anderson Cooper, good little djimmi, bless his heart.
No One is spared when freedom fails
The best men rot in filthy jails
And those who cry "APPEASE! APPEASE!"
Are hanged by those they tried to please.

Why are those of Cooper's ilk so oblivious to the islamists' intense hatred of homosexuals? Is it fear? Or is it that they perceive themselves to be soulmates? Radical LGBT-ers share, with the islamists a common hatred with all things Judeo-Christian and Western. So they seek an unholy alliance of convenience. An alliance based on the flawed assumption that an enemy of my enemy is my friend. And we all know what happens when we ASS-U-ME.

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

What nonsense. There is something wrong with him.

I’m not going to watch it because I’d probably blow a hole in my tv trying to end that faggot, and I like my tv.

Anderson, we’re selecting a nice, very high hotel for you when sharia is the law. And no, it is not for an overnighter.

Foolishness masquerading as interviewing.

“And no, it is not for an overnighter.”
It would be an ‘over the balcony’
Anderson is sticking up for those who would murder him.

Cooper sure went full animal on him, that was as tough an interview as I’ve seen, yet the poor sap being interviewed is just a young man, a blue collar type of regular Joe, not a professional politician or media savvy person.

The answer is that leftists can never be seen or perceived to be in agreement with conservatives on any matter. Therefore, if conservatives consider islam to be a threat, the left is bound to disagree with that position, and even take the side of the muslims.

The guy’s first mistake was agreeing to be interviewed by Cooper.

He should have asked Cooper is he (Cooper) was provoking mohammedans by being openly homosexual. Missed opportunity.
