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.

    I certainly hope that the next time Fox has Geraldo & Michelle on together that he is asked to comment and / or apologize for his statements.

    Even being on without Michelle, he should be called out for it.

    But there should be an on-air apology demanded for this.

    Personally, I would like to see him gone from Fox for being such a sleazeball.

    DarkKnight – here’s your polls / numbers:

    By eight-to-one, Americans think it is unfair to grant rights to illegal immigrants while thousands of people wait each year to come to the United States legally. Fully eighty-six percent of Republicans think it is unfair, as do seventy-seven percent of Democrats.
    Opinion Dynamics Poll for FOX News, April 4-5, 2006

    Sixty-five percent of those surveyed said they would be willing to pay significantly higher prices for some goods and services should that be the result of tighter control of the southern U.S. border and a resulting lower number of undocumented workers.
    Zogby Poll, March 31-April 3, 2006

    Fifty-six percent of Americans polled say the U.S. should NOT grant temporary-worker status to foreigners who are here illegally, as this would make them and their families eligible for government services while they are here. We should not reward people who have broken the law, and this will encourage even more people to enter the United States illegally.
    NBC News/Wall Street Journal Poll, March 10-13, 2006

    If he is soooo anxious to spit on someone who does not agree with him, how come he didn’t spit on O’Riley when they were having a VERY heated argument about immigration.
    Maybe it’s O’Riley’s six ft four inch frame that held him back. I’m guessing that MM is about 5ft to 5′1″ tall, and a girl too.
    Saw GR at Miami airport once and I’m not sure if he is big enough to take on MM.

    Gotta agree there. GRs screen door has been flappin in the wind for a long time. This vile personal verbal attack on Michelle just serves to highlight that fact.

    Unhinged has become “acceptable” in that you expect it from the usual suspects. Here Geraldo is just adding his total boorishness and amazingly ill manners to the unhinged mix.

    All,

    The Media has inserted “undocumented people” into our vocabulary but there is another word we don’t hear enough of and it is the answer, Attrition. I know at least one state has thought about it and it is way up on the Canadian Border, every American State is a Border State. This is a write up with some answers. We keep getting told you can’t deport 12 million people.

    Fox needs to held accountable on this. In fact, Fox needs to be held accountable for aiding, abetting and promoting a clown like Rivera in any way. The network gets a pass from right-leaning viewers (including me) on a lot of things but between their 24/7 coverage of Anna Nicole Smith and hour after hour about Larry Craig while practically ignoring Hsu they are edging toward becoming as ridiculous and irrelevant as Rivera.

    Fox can’t take its viewership for granted forever. If they continue to “tabloidize” their news division out of sheer laziness and ratings pandering they’re going to find their core audience has given up on them just like we’ve given up on newspapers. Thank God for the internet.

    I don’t know that any of the cable news outlets, are figuring out what their audience want. In my case, live news and relevant news. Every time I turned on a channel with coverage of an English Princess, that has been dead for 10 years, this past week, I changed the channel. Substance and Content, why is that so difficult? I know it is 24/7 news cycle and yes there will be filler but there should be less of it. CNN and MSNBC are planning on counter programing for Fox News by running more things like Doc Blocks- canned programing. Christiane’s God’s Warriors got ratings so they think they will go this route. Nevermind that God’s Warriors was panned. Including by me!

    I think the old medium- TV, better figure out fast, that the new medium the Internet is going to figure out how to by pass them completely. Viva La Internet. Below is the plan to counter program Fox News.

    In both cases, the hippies with the pie and Geraldo at a safe distance so he doesn’t have to follow through with his insult. I would call this Hit and Run. In Geraldo’s case, he is grown man, he doesn’t have any excuse.

    I don’t know they should poll Liberals and ask, are manners part of your value system?

    Laree #110, you’re right. Many have grabbed the “moral authority” that if the country is not going the direction you believe it should, then you have the authority to sling accusations, sling untruths, call those that oppose you liars, racists, and nativists. Throwing pies and making threats to spit on those that disagree with you is taking a giant step toward something very ugly.

    FOX keeps him because he’s controversial….plain and simple.

    O’Reilly is getting weak in the knees…what’s up with him?

    The only TRUE conservatives on the airwaves…regularly…are Michelle, Ann Coulter, Mark Levin, Lou Dobbs, and Glenn Beck in MHO….with Tancredo not far behind.

Again, out of desperation to get fresh viewpoint and something that’s been more thoroughly investigated than what FOX and their little ribbon are recycling every hour. Used to love Shep, but every time I see him now all I can remember is his meltdown on the bridge in New Orleans aftr Katrina screaming into the camera about “where is FEMA, where are the rescue units.” The bloody idiot was stranded on the bridge himself, with no escape route available.

    Sorry but Lou Dobbs, isn’t a Conservative, he is however what Democrats were before the left was hijacked by radicals.

    Long enough ago before Democrats became liberals and communists, the left was an ideology you might vehemently disagree with but when the chips were down (WWII) we all loved, preserved and protected our country together.

    Now only the right does, the hijacked left wants totalitarianism because America is bad.

At least he’s had the nerve to speak up on a cable network when it wasn’t considered by any other to do so. And, no, I don’t always agree with him but he’s kept the pressure up and the ones speaking out now are late to the dance. Worse, some decided to stay home and not address it at all.

    I wish. That’s beautiful country up there.

    Unfortunately, I retired as a cop in Maryland, about 15 miles up I-95 from D.C. Then we moved to SE FL (hurricance ruined that idea) and have now ended up not too far from Charleston SC where the local cops just arrested the 2 Egytians with the bombs in their trunk.

    But, if you hear that “The Coward” is coming your way let me know and I’ll do my best to get there. It’s only a 4 hour flight, give or take.

    What you say is true and it just goes to show how far off track our political system has gone.

    Both parties should own the illegal migration issue, the left for the jobs and the right for the lost sovereignty and just plain right versus wrong.

    Many of both however have turned to greed as the primary motivator in they’re decision making and it’s up to us turn them back and get them on track again.

    Dobbs is a lefty in many ways but he is not what I define as a liberal which in my little (which is teeny tiny) book of political understandings is a very different animal.

    In my view RINO neocons and radical liberals have left a very large ugly mark on the American landscape.

    Worse, he has fantasies about doing so upon a female.

    ——————
    Hey, Geraldo: If Michelle came running at you full-tilt brandishing a steak knife, maybe then you’d have the right to get physical. Short of self-defense, no respectable or self-respecting man ever resorts to physical violence of any kind against a woman.

    It’s a “guy thing,” I thought you’d understand. You should be ashamed of yourself. But since you’re incapable of feeling shame, let me be ashamed for you.

    A credit to your gender you are not.
    ————-

    As for Michelle getting an unwanted saliva sample from such a saucy fellow, that’d be secondary among her concerns, I should think; she’d need to clear the area to avoid getting Geraldo’s blood on her, because if I wasn’t there to bleed him I’ve no doubt that somebody else would step up to the plate.

    What’s AMAZING is that Geraldo has a legal education, and holds himself out as a lawyer! Yet he cannot make a cogent, rational argument for his position! Jeez Luiz! Where did he get his law degree, the Brooklyn Upstairs Cosmetology and Legal Emporium?

    As to his own personal and moral integrity, here’s a tally of his obsession with sexual conquest, taken from his own (largely unread) autobiography:

    * Number of pages before Geraldo mentions his first conquest: 28 * Number of pages his first marriage lasts: 12 * Number of times he likens himself to Edward R. Murrow: 1 * Number of times he compares himself to William Kunstler: 1 * Number of women, identified by name, he says he slept with: 19 * Number of times sex with more than one woman (usually at the same time) is cited on the same page: 5 * Number of married women he mentions having flings with: 4 * Number of Geraldo marriages: 4 * Number of days he waited after the birth of his son to have a fling with a pair of coeds, whom he dubs ”the twins”: 2 * Number of times he fantasizes about Barbara Walters naked: 1 * Number of photos of the author included: 46

    You can bet he names only the famous ones he shtupped: All the unknowns he seduced will never be known.

    And let’s face it: he’s a MORAL LEPER. He’s a sociopath when it comes to WOMEN! He’s Bill Clinton to the nth!

    It’s no wonder he wants to spit on Michelle: she won’t let him treat her like a SEXUAL spittoon!!

    btw: his autobio, the aptly titled “Exposing Myself” is selling for as low a ONE CENT on Amazon. Ya GET whatcha PAY for!

    Everyone should keep the pressure on him. There’s an incandescent, molten hot on-air MELTDOWN in this guy’s future.

    1. Re vile and hateful; it seems to me that Geraldo is projecting in a big way.

    2. Geraldo is probably suffering from has-been syndrome. Right now he only has his weekend show on Fox. That’s no joke – he’s used to more attention and probably alot more money.

    3. Re number 2, above, here’s a theory: he wants back into the “mainstream media” and I suspect strongly that his attacks against Michelle, a substaintial, unapologetic conservative (what liberals dislike most) is a way to prove to liberal media powerbrokers that he really is “one of them”, something that needs some true theatrics after buddying up with O’Reilly. This is typical in the extreme. When the career of a shallow and conceited media personality begins to wane in this new century, you can bet that they’ll make some loud and desperate posturing to prove their liberal bias (and it unfortunately often works).

    4. The remarks about snitching on neighbors and deporting people just about vaporizes what little credibility he might have had left. What is amazing is his lack of context in his own remarks. Would he have called “snitching” on Jessica Lumsford’s killer a bad thing? How about deporting the terrorists who murdered over 3,000 innocents within 90 minutes on September 11th? No, he’s all about Hispanics, but he can’t say that outright without looking like the bigot that he is. So he makes absurd generalizations to back up a personal attack which is grossly unwarrented.

    Yes, Hispanic Geraldo Rivera. Caucasion/American Jerry Rivers when being Hispanic wasn’t hip. Conservative when he has no career, liberal when Fox gives him a chance and he wants to climb back up the ladder, spitting – or wanting to – on his Fox co-workers.

    I agree that Fox should be told to give him the boot, and I’m writing a couple of e-mails myself right after this post. The fact is that Michelle is essentially a co-worker. It’s one thing to disagree, and rivalries make for good television, but the extent of this act of gross disrespect is intolerable. What a jerk. He has to go.

    Is 13%
    Is Not 85%
    Unsure 2%

    Polls and responses like this are meaningless in a media world of overwhelming media bias, because there is no way to distinquish how many responses are attributable to a well-educated extrapolation and how many are attributable to being misled by media spin. Polls like this are genuinely, utterly worthless if the purpose is to gauge the attitude of people well-educated on this issue, and how much value could a poll be if it isn’t?

    Cat, that’s called a “push/pull” poll. That’s when the pollster sets up his poll so only 1 answer (the 1 he wants) is the only logical one. I had a congressman who would send me those (Jim Moran). I finally wrote him and told him to stop sending me that worthless nonsense. “You are supposed to represent us, not us represent you.” I moved since then and have a much better congressman.

    #148, Yes baklava, I did see post #97… but thank you for making sure.

    Well it seems no one here trusts the WSJ and NBC News on this issue. Fair. How about Fox… This is not a push pull.

    FOX News/Opinion Dynamics Poll. July 11-12, 2006. N=900 registered voters nationwide. MoE ± 3.

    “Which political party — the Democrats or the Republicans — do you think would do a better job on each of the following issues? Immigration.” Options rotated

    Democrats 37%
    Republicans 32%
    Equal 15%
    Unsure 17%

    “If Congress fails to pass an immigration bill before the upcoming midterm election, who do you think will be most to blame: President Bush, Republicans in Congress or Democrats in Congress?” (Options rotated)

    President Bush 21%
    Republicans in Congress 22%
    Democrats in Congress 21%
    All 24%
    Unsure 13%

    “In general, do you think immigrants who come to the United States today join society and give to the country or stay separate from society and take from the country?”

    Join Society/Give 41%
    Stay Separate/Take 36%
    Depends (vol.) 17%
    Unsure 6%

    In response to Post #97. Interesting Fox question that was asked in April as well that deserves to be mentioned.

    “Some people say that illegal immigrants are mainly doing low-paying jobs that U.S. citizens don’t want. Other people say that illegal immigrants are taking jobs away from U.S. citizens. Which is closer to how you feel?”

    Unwanted Jobs 47%
    Taking Jobs Away 34%
    Combination/Depends 16%
    Unsure 3%

    Now, speaking of a “push poll-type question” (also asked by Fox News):

    Overall, do you think illegal immigrants provide more benefits to the nation by doing work many U.S. citizens don’t want to do, or do they cost the country more because they don’t pay taxes and use public services like schools and emergency rooms?”

    Provide Benefits 22%
    Cost More 65%
    Unsure 13%

    No… that wasn’t a loaded question! LOL

    By the way, Cat, how many people do you think have “well educated extrapolation” on this issue, and how many people do you think suffer from “media spin.”

    More importantly, what exactly does it take in order to have a “well educated extrapolation?” Is one factor you have to read certain types of blogs? Or certain types of newspapers?

    The reason why it’s not easy to differentiate between those who are “educated” on the issue and those who are not is because it becomes completely subjective. In addition, no matter what you know or don’t know (according to others), we all have a vote. It’s important that we be knowledgable about our vote, but we all have one vote all the same. Polling (whether you trust them or not) gives a nice insight into the viewpoint of the American people’s thoughts and mentality (say President Bush’s approval ratings for example).

    That is why I believe it is important to ensure that we not just state what we believe and why we believe it, but also examine why others may feel differently (and not just blame media bias, etc.).

    How many of our hospital beds or doctors are not available for a US Citizen or legal immigrant because an illegal immigrant is taking up the space & time?

    I feel 99% positive that we need to deport all the criminal illegals as a starter …

    then start prosecuting the businesses that are hiring the illegals in the first place …

    the rest will gradually go home on their own because they won’t have jobs so they can send millions and millions of dollars back to their home countries while mooching food stamps, medical care and cash off of the American taxpayers …

    We are looking forward to starting to enforce the new laws we passed here in Arizona regarding businesses hiring illegal aliens … multiple offenses can result in the business losing its licenses … no license … no business … no illegal workers …

    We already are seeing an exodus of hundreds of the illegals … either back across the border or moving on to some other state …

    Now … if all the states will enact such laws and enforce them the only place left for them to go is back across the border … no deportation needed …

    I’m surprised GR hasn’t already been here screaming about it … of course … that would basically mean having to face off with Sheriff Joe … and I don’t think he has the guts to do that … he only wants to spit on women he disagrees with …

    What level of crime is acceptable for someone to commit if they are of a certain race?
