Geraldo Rivera unhinged

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 1, 2007 09:30 AM

Update 9/9: The idiocy continues.

Update 9/6: Liberal logic. Rivera threatens to spit on me. Ergo, I am the Worst Person in the World.

rivmad.jpg The Boston Globe has a fawning Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-ish profile of Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera. In between musing about his favorite pair of soft Uggs (”I’ve worn these in Tora Bora and Somalia,” he says, admiring the suede slip-ons with the sheepskin lining. “They’re so comfortable. I love them.”), his “36-foot Hinckley powerboat,” and his massive estates (including “Seagate, the spectacular, 10-bedroom estate he bought several years ago with his fourth wife” and another “Kennedy-esque compound” with his current wife), he spews this:

Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican nationalist group the Young Lords, says he can’t stomach the politicians and pundits who are stoking “anti-immigrant hysteria,” and his antipathy extends to some of his colleagues at Fox.

“Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life,” he says. “She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people.

“It’s good she’s in D.C. and I’m in New York,” Rivera sneers. “I’d spit on her if I saw her.”

Ewwww!

Well, I suppose I should be grateful for the warning. Next time I’m up in New York, I’ll be sure to wear one of these:

Who’s the hater? Allah holds up the mirror for the Geraldo-ists.

Flashback: Geraldo “cringes” every time I’m on Fox.

Flashback: Geraldo attacks again.

    UNhinged? Has Geraldo ever been hinged? I don’t think so…

    He is quite a superficial and despicable human being seemingly incapable of rational thought. Other than that, though, he’s a wonderful fellow.

    One key to the character of a person is who their friends and enemies are. To have Geraldo as an enemy says nothing but good about you.

    Such a macho dude.

    He is a national embarassment.

    But let me take a more compassionate tone.

    Poor Jerry. His blood sugar is raging out of control. His blood pressure when he is on camera must be over the top as well. Makes for serious stroke out possibilities. He should move to France at once.

    5 marriages. Why doesn’t he just convert to Islam and do it up right, by golly.

    And what’s with the grade school level sentiment of spitting on people?

    Is he part llama? Como te llamas, Geraldo?

    I think his displaced rage goes back to getting spanked a little too hard when he was a tyke.

    The way he starts to sputter and spout when a conservative political commentator addresses him suggests that perhaps he has internalized a deep envy of those who can keep their corks in place.

    It’s safe to say he has dollar and marital issues that have spilled over into his public life. Not to say these should be dwelled upon or offered as some ad hominem critique of his schtick.
    But, come on, “I’d spit on her if I saw her” ???

    For Geraldon’t, the political has become way too personal.

    Countdown to stroke out begins now.

    I have a suggestion for you GR … get your head out of the sand and quit playing the hispanic race card every time ANY question is asked of you … in your eyes all references to illegals are references to hispanic people … WRONG … we want all illegals stopped no matter what country or ethnic background they come from …

    She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people

    You better believe it GR … and so do a large majority of the rest of us in this country … I am tired of seeing this great country being taken over by people that are not here legally … period … exclamation point … and absolutely no question mark to any of that …

    “I’d spit on her if I saw her.”

    I do believe that qualifies under the law as a threat of personal attack and harm …

    Michelle, I’m with you all the way. If Geraldo wants to spit on someone tell him to see me. I would welcome the opportnity to respond to his criminal assault. Never mind, I already emailed him the invitation directly.

    Geraldo is a loser plain and simple. I would like to see him, Lindsay Graham, Ted Kennedy and Jane Fonda join him on his 36′ boat and sail of into Guantanamo Bay. Where is Dean when we need him?

    Anyway, don’t worry about this clown. I’ve been called a lot worse and I always remembered what my Mom used to say. “Sticks and stones will break your bones but names will never hurt you”

    Once again, the basic difference which eludes Geraldo is that MM and others are not against immigrants, they are illegal and criminal immigrants.

    GR and his ilk see no distinction. GR is a high-profile example of liberal blinders. He cannot make the distinction between the two.

    Perhaps ‘blinders’ is even the wrong word – it’s a pair of racial goggles that only allows the wearer to see an argument, viewpoint or fact along racial lines.

    One point in the news recently is a study of how my blacks are incarcerated in proportion to their percentile make-up in our state. The Democratic administration of our Governor wants to study what we, as a society, can do to remedy it.

    The remedy is simple, and begins in those minority communities – STOP COMMITING MORE CRIMES.

    Such is the simplicity of the illegal immigration problem – ENFORCE THE BORDERS – DEPORT THE CRIMINALS – NO AMNESTY. But the left sees ‘race’ written all over it – and when they don’t see race, they see poverty, and wonder why our country can’t open its arms to those in need.

    Yet they conveniently forget how much our country already does so, to the cost of billions of dollars each year to US taxpayers.

    As for his spitting comment, it just goes to show what a low-life creature he truly is. MM is an educated, articulate, mother and wife who simply has a different viewpoint and expresses her views not only in print and media, but by vocalizing and mobilizing others to the conservative cause.

    It’s amazing to me that he would ’spit’ on Michelle Malkin but has never offered the same hatred towards vocal advocates of our enemies.

    That says a lot.

    Wow, what a despicable, hateful comment.
    Michelle is a sweetheart, besides that kind of talk is unacceptable.
    I recently wrote to Fox about Geraldo.
    I wish like heck they would get rid of him. He is everywhere, besides having his own show and over-talks whoever the other guest may be. Recently Sean invited Tom Tancredo on, and this man hardly got to say a word because of Geraldo and I blame Sean also for this.
    Geraldo needs to go, or leave him just on his won show if you want. But he should be held accountable for those very hateful words towards Michele. It’s like Fox can’t touch him, but I wish they would, he ruins the show and the words he used against Michelle are what he really feels. How can Fox or anyone defend him?

    No – I’m not a Bears fan, even though I grew up in the Windy City – but I am, and forever will be, a Payton fan.

    Back on topic…from the Boston Globe article:

    “Look, I don’t care what people say about me. I’ve had a wonderful career,” he says. “I’ve been famous for 40 years.”

    I think that says all it needs to about Geraldo. Being famous is what’s important to him. How many journalists are out there, more concerned with getting it right, than being famous?

    If getting your butt-fat injected into your face ( I still love that one ) and getting into fist-fights on tv are you way of being famous and therefore having a great career, then you need some serious help.

    I’ll be over here talking with the journalist with a history of getting things right and telling the story honestly. Perhaps sipping a Caramel Machiatto, right Michelle? :)

    Hey Geraldo,

    I saw your interview in the Boston Globe. If you really want to spit on Michelle Malkin, may I suggest you call me instead. I would welcome the opportunity to once again respond to such a criminal assault however, as a combat veteran and a police officer of 30 years I don’t think you would appreciate my response.

    If you were any kind of man you would apologize to Michelle publicly right now and then you would resign from Fox News because you obviously do not have the objectivity to report the immigration issue fairly. I don’t expect that to happen because you are obviously NOT a man. A real man would never threaten a woman. You are a coward.

    Feel free to call me at xxx-xxx-xxxx (actual number included to Coward)

I really feel for Michelle even having to talk to this slim ball, but she always manages to maintain her composure while he comes unglued.

    Carry one of those little hand fans with you and blow his spittle back into his arrogant face.

    The Boston Globe piece has given me some insight into his mental problems—I think he had a fatty embolism from his forehead buttocks transplant travel to what is left of his brain. This explains the Tourette’s like symptoms as he is brain damaged.

    It has always been clear to me that Geraldo was a liberal in conservative sheeps clothing. I put up with him, because at some point in the War, he seemed to at least have the courage of going to Iraq, unlike many other so called war journalists.

    However, his motivations became fairly obvious; and like all things he has done, it was claearly about him and not the subject he was reporting.

    I do not watch O’Reilly when he is on; I turn the station and I certainly don’t watch any weekend shows staring Rivera. I wonder how Geraldo effects O’Reilly’s ratings.

    He is an irritating man who has little to offer the world in ‘reasonable’ debate and commentary. If I were Michelle Malkin I would consider it an honor to be despised by him.

    Ad infinitum.

    I wonder if Geraldo even thinks about what he says and how it reflects on Fox and ultimately his boss Rupert Murdoch?

    And if Rupert doesn’t take him to task for such a wide array of despicable comments is it then acceptable or condoned and that personal attacks by Geraldo are within the scope of professional commentators at Fox?

    No other workplace allow such harassment to take place the Managers at Fox shouldn’t either.

    Michelle:

    Name calling like Geraldo is doing is what liberals do when they lose arguments. You should send him an e-mail that says: “Dear Geraldo, thank you for admitting defeat in the illegal immigration debate. Your descent into name-calling and personal attacks signals very loudly that you have come to the realization that I am right and you are wrong. Again, thank you for seeing the light on this important issue. I hope we can work together in the future to stop illegal immigration, something we now both agree must occur.”

    And a couple of thoughts:

    1)Please don’t defend Michelle by making rude remarks about Geraldo’s ethnicity. You just sound like an ass and give race-baiters like Geraldo some talking points.

    2) A small correcton for Geraldo: He has not been “famous” for 40 years; he’s been “infamous” for about 25. There’s a big difference.

    He knows she’s got him by the short hairs on this immigration debate. It must be frustrating for Macho Mustachio to be intellectually slapped around so badly.

    I think he suffers from Battered Pundit Syndrome.

    He lost the argument and he’s sore about it. I don’t think he would actually physically assault Michelle, he is a lawyer after all. He’s just throwing another patnented Geraldo hissy fit. Reminds me a little of Grahamnesty convulsions when he knew he lost. Heh.

    Vile? Hateful? In liberal terms that translates into TRUTH and IT HURTS.

    I hope he’s reading these posts ’cause he has serious anger issues and he needs refresher courses in LAW…..so he’ll know the non rights of illegals.

    If he doesn’t like the laws, then move to Mexico and serve those pitiful Hispanics for free. Then come back and complain.

    Something else to add:

    When we are strolling down Geraldo’s memory lane, don’t forget the incident that really sealed my opinion of the Mustachio. He decided that he should draw a sand map of the immediate future movements of the 101st Airborne Division on live world-wide TV, while embedded with our Screaming Eagles. Saddam still had a military that was resisting, and an intelligence service monitoring world media for any information they could glean. Did he consider operational security at all? No. He considered his sensationalist, self aggrandizing “reporting” more important than the operational success of one of the most legendary military units in American history. Not to mention the increased risk to the individual soldiers of that unit. He better be glad all that happened was his humiliation by being asked to leave the theater of battle. If Saddam’s forces were more competent, and ours less so, it could have been a disaster for our forces.

    Nice going, Macho Mustachio.

    What is a Smacker-head you ask?

    Well, you know when someone says something really stupid and you feel like smackin’ em “upside” the back of their head but for one reason or another you can’t? That my friends is a Smacker-head.

    Gerald annoys me to no end…but I can’t get to him to smack em for real so I like to envision my self smackin him in such a way as to leave his hair sticking up in back and his glasses cocked sideways on his face. Smacker-head….that’s what he is.

    I’m starting to really get that.
    He says this about Bill O’Reilly:

    As for O’Reilly, Rivera says he respects him, even if the two men don’t always agree.

    And this about Michelle:

    “Michelle Malkin is the most vile, hateful commentator I’ve ever met in my life,”

    He makes a good case for gender discrimination against himself.

    He’s been married five times and wife number five is 32 while he’s 64.

    Sounds like a great candidate for family therapy with some real anger issues.

    Wife number four thinks he’s cool (she got the ten million dollar estate), I wonder if they all do?

    Without his race rant, he would be nothing. Geraldo is a hollow human being, shallow to his empty core.
    He has brought nothing of substance to the journalistic world in 4 decades. What he has brought forth is embarrassment and his own vile hatred of anything non-latino.

    He is a picture of anti-American sentiments. Nothing about him is part of the American dream other than the fact that anyone, even someone quite evil, can make a buck… and that disgusts me.

    Spitting on another person is indeed a crime. It is considered a “battery” under common law and can be successfully prosecuted. In Maryland, it is a misdemeanor and generally charged as Assault and Battery.

    However, stating to a third party that you have a deisre to spit on someone is not a crime. Therefore, Gerald “The Coward” did not yet commit a crime and I’m sure he knows that. Even though he’s ignorant, he’s not that stupid.

    I have written The Factor and informed them that I expect Bill to onfront “The Coward” about these discriminatory, hate filled comments on his weekly segment with “The Coward”. I would hope that all of us would let Bill know how we feel about the provacative words spoken by this clown.

    She actually believes that neighbors should start snitching out neighbors, and we should be deporting people

    You better believe it GR … and so do a large majority of the rest of us in this country … I am tired of seeing this great country being taken over by people that are not here legally … period … exclamation point … and absolutely no question mark to any of that …

    DL:

    I’ve seen this fact thrown around a lot, and I’m very interested in seeing where you get it. When you say “a large majority” are you saying that most Americans want Law Enforcement to verify someone’s immigration status if they assume they are here illegally (thus becoming an inconveinence to people who might match certain assumptions based on how they dress, talk, stand or look)? Or are you just saying that a lot of people in the country wouldn’t mind if everyone had to carry around a “tamper proof biometric ID card” as has been suggested by Rudy Guiliani?

    (Interesting people are making fun of GR because of his multiple divorces and convienently look past Guiliani’s personal shortcomings… but I digress)

    The latest polls I look at show Americans just want a solution as opposed to the Ann Coulter methodology of just rounding up people. In fact, most people agree with BOR that this is highly unlikely and unreasonable.

    NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll conducted by the polling organizations of Peter Hart (D) and Neil Newhouse (R). June 8-11, 2007. N=1,008 adults nationwide. MoE ± 3.1.

    “Would you be pleased or would you be upset if Congress does not pass an immigration bill, or do you not care either way?”

    Pleased 22%
    Upset 51%
    Don’t Care 22%
    Unsure 5%

    “Regardless of how you feel about it personally, do you think that deporting all illegal immigrants who are currently in the United States back to their native countries is a realistic and achievable goal, or not?”

    Is 13%
    Is Not 85%
    Unsure 2%

    “Regardless of how you feel about it personally, do you think that having illegal immigrants who are currently in the United States voluntarily return to their native countries before applying to become legal citizens is a realistic and achievable goal, or not?”

    Is 20%
    Is Not 76%
    Unsure 4%

    Not trying to be a smart alleck, but I’d like to look at the source of your argument. As far as the content of what GR said, I don’t see how anyone can defend that kind of language. Totally unacceptable.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    aj…. No problem.

    Unfortunately, in order for this to be a crime, “The Coward” would have to be in the physical presence of MM and then make that statement. The fact that he made it to a 3rd party several hundred miles away makes this statement a non-crime.

    I have been in situations where a criminal told me to my face that he would like to kill me, but even that was not a crime. That did not preclude me from eliminating his freedom for other crimes committed in my presence but a person making a threat must be able to carry out that threat for it to be a crime. At least, that’s what I always taught in police academies and that’s the way the courts have always interpreted it.

    But, you’re right, there’s no sense in splitting hairs. The real crime is that “The Coward” should keep his mouth shut and give Michelle the respect that she deserves, but I suspect he treats all women this same way.

    I am not defending “The Coward”. Quite the opposite. He makes me sick in my stomach every time he opens his mouth.
