BTW, Hancock plays it cool with Sanchez... admits he has known the man for 2 years and this was staged... but on his website he continues the ruse:
Chris B. (Black man with an AR-15 at Obama appearance in Phoenix Monday the 17th of August) will join Ernest for 2 hours on the show. Who is this man?... and why did he say on the local news that he "hates" Obama? We need to get the answers,... while we still can.
"Declare Your Independence with Ernest Hancock" - August 18th 2009
Ernest Hancock, the online radio host who staged an interview with an assault rifle-wielding associate at the Obama event in Arizona yesterday -- and was himself armed with a 9 millimeter pistol -- was a vocal supporter and friend of right-wing anti-government militia members who were convicted of conspiracy and weapons charges in the 90s.
And in an interview today with TPMmuckraker, Hancock said he still believes the Viper Militia case was "manufactured" by the same government that manufactured Waco and lied to its people about 9/11.
The federal government initially accused the Arizona Viper Militia of plotting to blow up federal buildings, which the twelve-member group cased on videotape.
In July 1996, after a grand jury indicted the suspects, federal agents "seized about 90 high-powered rifles and hundreds of pounds of a bomb-making compound from the shabby bungalow of a man whom officials identified as the ordnance specialist of a local paramilitary group," the New York Times reported at the time.
