   Please Michelle, find away to toss Geraldo’s venom in there somewhere!

   I wish you didn’t even have to talk about this movie or any other of the anti military garbage coming out of Hollywood. Maybe you can compare it to the Turkish movie with Gary Bussey. The title escapes me right now but it was something to do with Valley of the Wolves ar something lke that.
   Anyway best of luck.

   Spittlegate is probably best handled internally, even though Geraldo felt it necessary to say that to the Washington Post. It should be on Geraldo now to apologize publicly for his “Hate Comments”

   I wrote a letter to Bill asking that Geraldo be confronted about his hate speech towards Michelle. I am sure many, many others have done the same. If Bill doesn’t make a comment on this issue, I am going to be ticked.

   Michelle, you are waaay in the right on this one. But even mentioning the mustache’s name gives him legitimacy he doesn’t deserve.

   Take the high road on this one. The G man will hang himself when you give him enough rope. His attack on you gave you more pub anyway so it is actually a good thing (as good as a vile threat can be).

   I’m excited you’ll be doing the ‘factor’ again though. Thanks for the heads up!

   Geraldo’s comments should be part of the “Most Ridiculous Item of the Day”…

   Or maybe you can ‘borrow’ a Keith Olbermann segment and make him today’s “WORST PERSON IN THE WORLD”…

   

   Have a great show, Michelle!

   There are a couple of things that are not being given enough coverage one MEXICAN TRUCKS AND TRUCK DRIVERS coming into the country.

   The other is Pakistan are they melting down? What starts in Pakistan seems to end in Western Countrys. We have had these blips in the news like the scouting of the Ferry in Washington, these Egyptian Students with explosives, Goose Creek. Who are we not picking up on our radar?

   The Anti War Crowd has to get in their final shots because God forbid, things are turning around in Iraq. My husband is in the Army and he says the same thing everytime when asked. Why Fight because these people are at War with us. Open your wallet, look at the photos of your children or grandchildren, we can FIGHT them now or our children and grandchildren, will be Fighting them in 10 years. Then again they will be much better organized and they could possibly be armed with WMDS who do we want our Children to be Fighting?

   Michelle,

   I don’t think Geraldo will apologize even if he is put on the spot, he will have an excuse. I didn’t think, I could think less of Geraldo but after his comment about spitting on you. Well he is no Gentleman is he?

    #3 AJ–I hope Bill O and Fox do say something to Geraldo about it behind the scenes. What an unhappy place to work if they laugh off threats from one employee to spit on another. Fox News is a young network and they need to be on their game professionally and show that they’re about serious news and their correspondents are news professionals and not pampered celebrities who throw tantrums.

    Laree #8–I left a question for you about your Gene Stipe link in the “knock Billy Boy Down With A Straw” thread.

    I agree with twoninerkilo. Geralllldo must go. It’s okay to make a few jokes about what he said, but it doesn’t make it less hurtful, vicious and despicable. His history tells us that he made the comment because of an ego of gigantic proportions. He actually believes that Fox cannot and will not do anything. I sincerely hope that he is not right.

    The stinging part of his comments are that by saying what he did, he also, I would imagine, has the same disdain for anyone who shares Michelle’s views. That would be practically everyone on this site and how many millions of Americans?

    Anyone hear Laura Ingram’s interview with the spitter a few weeks back? It sounded like he was almost ready to cry after she nailed on few of his typical racist comments…”why are you being mean to me Laura?” That’s the man that would spit on a woman. Wow! Macho Man!

    I’m trying to figure out which is more chickensh*t:

    - A grown man (in form, at least) threatening to spit on a woman; or

    - The likelihood that if he found himself face-to-face with her, he wouldn’t have the stones to do it.

    Won’t be able to catch this Factor tonight, Michelle, but as always I’ll be rootin’ for ya. Catch it on the HotAir highlights…

    “What is personal protective
    equipment?
    Personal protective equipment, or PPE, is
    designed to protect employees from serious
    workplace injuries or illnesses resulting from
    contact with chemical, radiological, physical,
    electrical, mechanical, or other workplace
    hazards. Besides face shields, safety glasses,
    hard hats, and safety shoes, PPE includes a
    variety of devices and garments such as goggles,
    coveralls, gloves, vests, earplugs, and
    respirators.
    What are your responsibilities as an
    employer?
    OSHA’s primary PPE standards are in Title
    29 of the Code of Federal Regulations (CFR),
    Part 1910 Subpart I, and equivalent regulations
    in states with OSHA-approved state plans, but
    you can find PPE requirements elsewhere in the
    General Industry Standards. For example,
    29 CFR 1910.156, OSHA’s Fire Brigades
    Standard, has requirements for firefighting gear.
    In addition, 29 CFR 1926.95-106 covers the
    construction industry. OSHA’s general PPE
    requirements mandate that employers conduct a
    hazard assessment of their workplaces to
    determine what hazards are present that require
    the use of PPE, provide workers with
    appropriate PPE, and require them to use and
    maintain it in sanitary and reliable condition.
    Using PPE is often essential, but it is generally
    the last line of defense after engineering controls…”

    Looking forward to the “Redacted” argument(?) Geraldo, who cares? See how assertive the right is in confronting the left. So far we “Troop Supporters” are getting your a**es kicked to the detriment of hundreds of soldiers and thousands of Iraqis. Cross your fingers and hope for the best. If you need a little inspiration to get angry, Michelle, look me up on utube. We need to take off the gloves and come out swinging!

    ” Respiratory protection of health care workers is vital in safeguarding nurses from biological hazards present in the workplace. Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s (OSHA) Respiratory Protection Standard 29 CFR 1910.134 specifies necessary elements of an effective respiratory protection program. Proper compliance with this enforceable government standard helps shield nurses and other health care professionals (HCP) from infectious diseases including M. tuberculosis (TB), multidrug-resistant TB (MDR-TB), extensively drug-resistant TB (XDR-TB), measles, varicella, smallpox, severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS), and avian flu. Additionally, the establishment of a comprehensive respiratory protection program in compliance with all the elements specified in OSHA’s Respiratory Protection standard is needed to achieve the highest level of protection against a potential outbreak of pandemic influenza (OSHA, 2007) and biologic terrorism incidents (CDC, 2004).”

    This isn’t about being a Malkin fan. This is about a Fox anchor saying he’d spit on someone 2/3 his size because they thrash his poor arguments. Everyone should keep in mind Michelle Malkin has to walk the same halls with this arrogant threatening ass. It doesn’t matter if the threat is real.

    Geraldo made a disgusting remark threatening a demeaning physical attack while preaching at the pulpit of a well known far-Left paper. The moment he was surrounded by those of like mind we see the real “man.” His race-baiting cowardice and misdirection was bad enough. This is unacceptable. Who wouldn’t O’Reilly trash for this?

    If O’Reilly doesn’t publicly question this he loses serious credibility. There is no way around that.

    I’ve written Geraldo, O’Reilly and Fox News. Everyone else should.

    Missed the show segment, but caught the Vent clip on HotAir. Impressive, as always, particularly with what I’ve come to know as “The Malkin Touch:” Michelle’s infusion of passion into her work.

    I mean, I could watch someone like George Will or Tucker Carlson or Bill Buckley discuss the same topic, and say to myself, “Hmm. That was interesting.” But watching Michelle’s range of expressions (closely as always, I might add), and hearing her energetic vocalizations adds a level of intensity that I seldom see in any other “talking head” format.

    “Firecracker,” indeed. When I publish my pictographic dictionary one day, under the phrase “Sometimes big things come in small packages” there’s already a space reserved for Michelle’s photo.

    Nicely done!
