   DON’T let that ass get to you. One possible way to diffuse his vendetta and turn it against him is to ridicule him repeatedly, persistently and cleverly–make of him the joke that he is. That’s what was done to Rosie and it will work even better on a man with an ego the size of Geraldos. Go girl!!!!

   As much as I like Ann Coulter’s views on a lot of subjects – I truly dislike her ‘manner of communication’ many times.

   MM is much more capable of getting her point across without using some of the colorful conversation that Ann does.

   I agree that MM should have more media support against this type of attack, both from GR & KO, but it should come from Fox News execs and hosts.

   I love Mark Levin as well ( not in any Minneapolis Mens Room type of way, just agree with him a lot ), but he also can be a bit abrasive.

   Better to take the high road, as Michelle always does.

   According to Amazon.com, Olbermann’s book The book that bears Olbermann’s name is#23,032, while “Culture Warrior” is #3,383 (It’s that 2-for-$25 sale!). Barnes & Noble seems to have given up even trying to find a ranking for the dud OlbyTome; O’Reilly’s book is #1,784 there, and is one of the top five books of 2006 per Publishers Weekly.

   FNC is lucky that KO is a short bus denizen. How embarrassing would it have been to have had KO condemn Mr. Rivera’s statement and FNC’s failure to address it?

   It seems obvious that someone at foxnews.com marked the ad as offensive. I suspect that it was probably a low level employee doing his or her job to protect the brand, but it serves to reinforce further the belief that FNC management has no concern for its employee or values another employee to a greater degree. In the end, one must decide if career prospects and financial concerns outweigh workplace dissatisfaction forcing toleration of one’s treatment by management.

   If you would like to bring this matter to a conclusion quickly, I would suggest getting an order of protection in NYC. Fox management would have to acknowledge your concerns and take some sort of action, though the results may not be that for which you had hoped.

Although, to his credit, Bizarro Superman actually thought he was doing good…helping people. He didn’t knowingly get things backwards. The same cannot be said for the little O.

    Also, “Smoked”? “Vivisected”? Geraldo is not capable of doing either to anyone…certainly no one as formidable as Michelle. It’s reassuring to see that chivalry is alive and well among the posters here, but my money would be on Michelle if Jerry had the nerve and bad luck to approach her.

It is no secret Michelle can roast that lame duck G-boy any day on any subject. There is going to be more press and O-dork needs something for a show that might pique some interest. This thing with G-boy is hot and O-dork knows it. Now, attack the beautiful Michelle and throw some gas on the fire and O-dork thinks his ratings will go up and he will get more than 12 viewers. He is as pathetic as G-puke.

    I’ll say this for you, Michelle: if it’s true that you can judge a person by the company he or she keeps, then you make all the right enemies.

    That Geraldo Rivera is a self-absorbed boor who never was able to distinguish himself from the story he was supposedly covering? No surprise there.

    And a pseudo-intellectual thug like Olbermann rushing in to dogpile on top of Rivera’s boorishness? That’s to be expected.

    You’ve known all along, I suspect, that the Left reserves a special venom for two classes of people:

    1. Reformed leftists who dare speak the truth (e.g., David Horowitz); and

    2. Members of designated “victim” groups who refuse to be corralled onto the plantation of self-pity, resentment and dependence (e.g., You).

    It may seem, in our steadily coarsening culture where losing the argument on the merits is viewed by more and more people as a green light to resort to ad hominem assaults, like an uphill battle for you.

    Just remember that you have, and will always have, your supporters. You will never meet us. But we are here. We watch. We listen. We remember. We count on you to be strong in the face of the thugs – for your voice is heard by many, where ours is not.

    All we ask for in return is that if your sense of conviction flags; if somehow your family and your friends don’t provide you with all the support you need to keep fightng the good fight — remember us.

    There are more of us than you may know.

    Other people who have made Olby’s list, most of them multiple times, include Glenn Beck, O’Reilly, Hannity, and I think he even included Sister Teresa once.
    His favorite members of the list are anybody on tv or radio opposite his time slot. He does it to get a reverse mention in the hopes of boosting his ratings. It is a cheap ploy and one that is getting old.
    As far as Geraldo, broadcast his words far and wide but let him stand indicted by his own words and don’t engage in any sort of back and forth. Don’t give him the privilege of thinking he is worthy enough to be mentioned in the same breath as Michelle.

    Unfortunately, this is only the latest example of media hounds (insert whatever expletive you deem appropriate) and their relentless quest to silence anyone that disagrees with them. If FOX fails to address GR’s threat and ignores a threat was made by one of their own employees, they’ll lose whatever audiance support they’ve acquired these past years. This is not a free speech issue. Had GR made such a threat against Oprah or Rosie you can bet he’d be out there dropping to his knees asking forgiveness and pleading mercy. FOX would see to it, or he’d be fired. It matters not it was not said on the FOX set. There must be something in GR’s contract about public behavior?

    Seriously, we all have friends, co-workers, relatives and associates where you kick thoughts about. So as not to make it appear that MM is touting this, go to her referenced sources, pull the link and send it to your address book. There are a lot of blind people that have to be hit over the head with a story, from the source, to make it valid. If nothing else, you can show the hypocrisy of GR and his ratings will suffer. Since he’s on FOX in a timeslot that very little else is going on many people will watch simply to fill the void. He’s got to be exposed for what he says, does, and threatens.

    I am looking forward to the day that Michelle and Geraldo both appear on Fox together (with a moderator, of course) and Michelle sweetly turns to Geraldo and says “I was just curious if you intend to spit on me on international television or if you are going to wait to attack me in the parking lot?” Of course, she will come prepared with a screen shot of Geraldo’s vicious statement.

    Then, as Geraldo is defending himself, Michelle will ask “Did you also want to spit on all these people, too, who would have wished to be here, but they were all killed in a single week by illegal aliens?”

    Then, they will show a yearbook-type picture of 25 people who died at the hands of an illegal. (According to Congressman Steve King, it is about 12 per week who are murdered and another 13 per week who are killed by illegal drunk drivers.) If you choose a week that is a couple months past, surely there will be enough info to determine who has been a victim of an illegal alien during a specific week, although you may need blogger input.

    Better yet, bring full size cut-outs of each victim – what a visual – you and 25 victims (who, we remind Geraldo, will never hug, laugh, or breath again) standing there waiting for Geraldo to spit on all of them. Show everyone what a fool he is.

    I wondered exactly the same thing. As I recall, didn’t Thursday used to have a segment called “Thursdays with Geraldo?”
    No Gerry Rivers tonight and instead we get Due every Thursday starting next week. (this, I feel, is a mistake, by the way. Dhue seems nice but doesn’t strike me as a deep thinker. Besides, with the motion sickness girl, or whatever the hell she is, the internet police babe, Sunny Hostin and Megan Kelly, Kirsten, Michelle, et al, it’s beginning to look like Atlantic City the night before the Miss America pagent. My wife is starting to percieve the show as appearing superficially sexist – and I can’t disagree with the perception. They need Candy Crowly in there for a little culture shock if she’s still around…. I had the opportunity to meet her once, by the way, and we had a nice little chat, and Fox should pick her up because she was very nice and seemed, um, like she might not be adverse to looking around)

    Since she’s already on board and considering the situation with Geraldo, real justice, of course, would be “Thursdays with Michelle Malkin”, but we live in an imperfect world, alas.

    If Geraldo isn’t on The Factor tomorrow, I think he got the boot. If so, that’s great and shows his kind of hate won’t be tolerated. I wonder if Geraldo’s show on the weekend will disappear too, if not now, in the near future. I can’t imagine FOX allowing that kind of behavior.

    Mr. Conservative Cat – at least the women Bill has on the show really take him on. There has been some big arguments and none of them hold back. I don’t know what I think about your wife’s views. I’m going to have to think about it. I haven’t felt the same way at this point.

    Oh, there’s no question that the women who opposed O’Rielly’s views make their feelings known, and that’s one of the great things about Fox. yes, the main commentators like Bill and Brit Hume absolutely lean somewhat right, but unlike CNN, MSNBC and the networks, they put on very LOUD dissenting voices. It’s the inherent advantage conservatives have over liberals: our side can put the two side-by-side with confidence because we’ll do anything from simply win on the merits to watch the liberal make a fool of him/her self as only someone from the moons of Jupiter can do. The poor liberals are stuck – they have no recourse but to silence our voices, even when it comes not just to answers, but questions as well, as is evidenced by the Democrat candidates cowardice to debate on Fox.

    As for the superficial apperance of sexism, I understand it. Yes, pretty people are desireable on television. As someone in the biz I know that’s rule one. But Bill’s show is getting flooded with young, attractive-to-beautiful women, and the fact is that you have to mix it up a bit to have a credible cast: a few more like Linda Chavez – attractive but moving into middle age – maybe someone with less looks but huge huge, charisma (Michelle has it when she appears relaxed). Part is beauty, but also age. Although ethnicity helps. there’s Michelle, and putting Harris Falkner on prime time for the news blurbs was casting genius, because she’s a perfect break from the majority of the Fox contributors.

    But this “young, beautiful girl thing on the Factor, while pretty is appreciated (to illustrate that I have no problems with it, I’ll say that my wife is gorgeous – never a time goes by when someone new in our lives doesn’t whisper to me that she’s beautiful) but sameness on television gets stale – even when it’s beautiful sameness. And now Geraldo, despicable guy that he is, is gone, and in comes another blonde beauty.

    I get sick of hearing about diversity in society, but in casting for television it’s an absolute necessity. O’Reilly has a formula, but it needs to feel relaxed, and this gorgeous young girl thing feels forced, and that’s just dull.

    Mr. Conservative Cat – Exactly…conservatives encourage debate, liberals loathe it. They only want to hear voices that agree with them. FOX will continue to do well as long as they do as they are now.

    FOX News has always had comments made about them regarding the good looking women they hire. Like it or not, it seems to be the way of most of television. Even our local tv is the same. I haven’t gotten to the point where it annoys me because of the great variety of guests that appear on the FOX News shows. When it gets to the point where beauty outweighs substance on FOX, then it will be different. Right now, all those ladies are highly intelligent and hold their own.

    what’s surprising to me is a Black Panther (someone you’d expect that kind of language from) calls Michelle a whore and the outrage at Fox is right out there, let a colleague at Fox threaten Michelle with assault and what?

    Wheres Fox on this? The moon?

    Is Geraldo such a media God that he can hatefully spit his way over people he works with?

    Geraldo was on O’Reilly tonight. No mention of Michelle, but Geraldo did say this:

    “Iraq is within spitting distance of the suez canal.”

    And then:

    “I urinated in Bin Laden’s house in Bora Bora.”

    Does this guy have a fetish or what? It would be funny to think so, but the way he slightly paused on the word spit suggests to me that this whole thing is very much on his mind. Let’s keep the pressure up until this guy eats the humble pie which is just glowing on the cover of his personal menu.

    I was very upset with Bill that he didn’t call Geraldo on his appalling hate speech towards Michelle. Disgusting. I wrote to Bill that I am boycotting all Geraldo segments on The Factor and any segment where Geraldo appears on all of FOX News until Geraldo apologizes to Michelle. We have to fight for what is right. Geraldo cannot get away with this.

    Anyone care to join me?

    Katieanne,

    Anyone who boycotts Geraldo Rivers, I mean Gerry Rivera – oh, you know what i mean – will miss the apology when it does eventually come. However, I think you’re being principled here, and so yeah, I’ll do it too, and let them know. We might only be a couple of whisps of air whistling dimly in a hurricane, but better not be heard as that than have our tiny rating numbers be heard as unintentionally supporting a windbag like Geraldo Rivera.

    Sure, I’ll do it. Turning off the TV for five minutes will be fun – I can catch up on my reading.

    Michelle, since you are both contributers to Fox News, it would be interesting to see what they have to say about this. Such as do they condemn his remarks, and if not, why not? And why does Rivera still have a job at Fox? Hang tough; he is light years away from you in both class and profesionalism, but I believe these are the kind of things you can’t just shrug off and let go.

    I have no problem with G-man having his present job at Fox. You see, our side isn’t afraid of letting you hear all sides of the story; the left, the supposedly open side, is the side which wants to censor opinions they disagree with.

    Jimbo,

    If I may respectfully disagree:

    1. Geraldo doesn’t put his political bias on the line the way O’Reilly and others do.

    But much more to the issue:

    2. Geraldo is entitled to his opinion. But saying he would spit on another co-worker because he so strongly disagrees with her opinion is not – hopefully – common practice at Fox and so it should not be treated as such. No offense, but I think you may have missed the point on all this.

    Shrugging this off would be a mistake, IMO, because an unchallenged lie too quickly becomes the truth, as is evidenced of how quickly Obermonster jumped opportunistically on the story.

    I think Michelle is in serious trouble of being cast as a villian the way so many other conservative commentators have. It seemed that the left didn’t have a handle on how to bring down an attractive ethnic woman, but Gerldo – former Gerry Rivers the quasi-caucasian, by touting his newly embraced Hispanic ethnicity, has opened the door, even though Michelle has never been hateful IMO and his remarks about spitting on her more vile than anything I have heard Michelle say or write.

    No, this time we can’t stand back. MM is a powerful voice, and we can’t let her reputation go the mainstream way of Rush, Newt and every other intelligent, effective conservative voice horribly unfairly vilified by the left-wing media killing machine.

    No, this time we have Geraldo’s spitting comment on which to hang Mr. River’s reputation and that of anyone who supports his views on Michelle. And we need to keep the pressure up. Two words of warning: remember Bob Dole. In other words, no more Mr. Nice Guy. That’s just how it’s got to be.

    Now get out there and start objecting!!!!

    Mr. Conservative Cat – I figure that if pigs fly and Geraldo actually does apologize to Michelle, it will be all over the place and I will see the video. Until then, no more Geraldo for me. While he was certainly rational and rather subdued on O’Reilly last night, I’ve had enough.

    I’m a premium member for Bill O’Reilly and there are lots of MM fans (including myself) over there protesting Bill’s lack of confrontation of Geraldo about the spitting. We will have to keep the heat up on this issue.

    I think we should start an email campaign to Bill O asking him to take Geraldo to task for his outrageous behavior. To start things off, here’s what I sent Mr. O’Reilly:

    Bill,

    I’m disappointed that you haven’t taken Geraldo to task for threatening to spit on Michelle Malkin. You often take members of the media to task for outrageous behavior. Why haven’t you addressed Geraldo’s outrageous behavior?

    By the way, in case you hadn’t seen the quote, here it is:

    “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.”

    Here’s the link to the Boston Globe article that has the quote… it’s on page 2:

    Great letter Jim C. I’ve already emailed him. I notice FOX News has kept silent too when they usually make comments on hate speech. I wonder if they have all decided not to broach the subject at all. If so, how cowardly and so disappointing from FOX News.

    I didn’t catch all the info about this new thing called Dhue Points starting next Thursday, but aren’t we supposed to be emailing her and she will put tough questions to Bill for him to respond to? This would certainly be a great issue if Bill hasn’t dealt with the subject by then.

    If geraldo wants to know what hate speech is like, he should check out Memphis politics and see who the real victims are.

    As a gentleman, I would defend the women in my life from the likes of geraldo and any female who happens to be on the recieving end of geraldo assualt.

    I’ve already e-mailed Fox but am not sure if Geraldo has his own personal website. Another member here posted gis e-mail addy but the post appears to have been removed, which I suppose is a proper thing for this site to do under the circumstances.

    It’s great that people are e-mailing Mr. O about this. His silence is deafening, but not surprising since he appears to buddy up when Geraldo is on.

    I hope Fox knows what they’re doing. People should remember conservatives are principled. Most have turned on Bush over his immigration stance (or lack of same). They’ll (we’ll) do it again to Fox over this, too. I hope Fox thinks Rivera is worth it.

    As for Dhue, she’s on Rivera’s show, so I doubt she’ll bring it up. However, any letters to her might say something like “as a woman, how would you feel about Geraldo Rivera announcing to the world that he’d spit on you for, essemtially, simply disagreeing with him? Be honest.” That might put the pressure all around.

    After his despicable performance at VA Tech on April 16th, And now threatening MM, I will never watch anything he is on again. Period. Unless Al-Qaeda puts out a tape with him held hostage and beheads him. Now that would be compelling TV.
