Geraldo Slams Lou Dobbs on Illegal Immigration; Calls Obama the "First Latino President" - Video
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | October 24, 2009 | BrianinMO

Posted on 10/24/2009 6:22:53 PM PDT by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of Geraldo Rivera giving a speech in which he rails against CNN's Lou Dobbs for his opposition to illegal immigration and his coverage of border issues.

Rivera says Dobbs "is almost single-handedly responsible for creating, for being the architect of the young Latino as scapegoat for everything that ails this country."

Geraldo also said that rumors of Dobbs being courted to come to Fox News are "absolutely untrue." Rivera says his boss confirmed that Dobbs will not be coming to Fox News.

Geraldo also criticized Mitt Romney as a "turncoat" for opposing "comprehensive immigration reform," and said that's why John McCain was nominated.

He called President Obama the "first Latino President - the first brown President" because he was elected as a result of the Latino vote (according to Geraldo).

Geraldo made the remarks speaking at a luncheon sponsored by El Diario La Prensa NY. . . . (VIDEO)

I think he’s the first Martian president. Clinton was the first president from Uranus.

Look at it this way: He's keeping FOX fair and balanced, especially since Juan Williams has been showing signs of saneness recently.

""the young Latino as scapegoat for everything that ails this country.

Ah, so Mr. Rivers is, in fact, the cause of America's decline? I just knew it!

"F Geraldo"

Right on! Rivera says Dobbs "is almost single-handedly responsible for creating, for being the architect of the young Latino as scapegoat for everything that ails this country."

Makes me wonder how he (Dobbs) could be married to a Latino. Geraldo makes my ass want a dip of snuff!

Gerald wants to feel impotent. His Saturday night spot was well thought-out by Fox programmers. His opinions are barely noticed by the viewers and a few diligent observers here at FR.

Geraldo, all about race all the time.

Opposing illegal activity is racist?

Wanting to have the Constitution upheld is mean.

Jeez, no wonder the libs say we still have race problems in this country-
Clinton, who was white, was the 1st ‘black’ president according to them and now we learn that Obamer, who is sorta black is, in fact, hispanic!
I guess that makes me a transgendered Inuit.

First Black President ( I think, ALAN KEYS should have been our first black president ).
Then, Obama as our first Jewish President, and now, our first Latino President.
ohhh my, what a colorful rainbow we have, and ginger bread houses, and candy cane trills in the LA LA land Alice in Wonderland world the liberals live in.

....rumors of Dobbs being courted to come to Fox News are "absolutely untrue." Rivera says his boss confirmed that Dobbs will not be coming to Fox News.

So does that translate to O'Reilly doesn't want Dobbs on Fox or what? I know O'Reilly isn't his bottom-line boss, but he might as well be.

IF Fox News doesn't pick up Dobbs as a regular, it's their loss IMHO. Lou Dobbs is great and the only person/show for whom I would ever watch CNN.

He could be talking of the WHITE side of Obama, after all ? the Latinos are part Spanish, and Spain is part of Europe, i.e. whites, so part white. That's what is ironic, the Hispanics have hatered towards whites, but, they forget ? they are descendants of a mostly white Continent of Europe, at least, up and until recently.

If the only thing I knew how to do was to use race to further my career I think I’d go get a job at McDonald’s. At least that is honest work.

Ummm.Whoreraldo? That's part of why why McCain lost(plus his backing of the stimulus of course).
What is Whoreraldo trying to do? Snatch the "2009 Psychopath of the Year Award" from Keith Olbermann ?

Previously I found him annoying. Lately, I’ve grown to dislike him intensely. He appears on the screen and one of two things happen: either the mute button is pressed or the channel is changed.

Whatever the subject, it’s only a matter of time before he inserts himself into the story in which he is commenting.

Get over yourself Geraldo.

Just keep telling yourself that Whoreldo. Roger Ailes is a practical businessman. If it comes to choosing between Whoeraldo and Lou Dobbs, it won't even be close. Who watches Wherealdo anyway?

Geraldo ought to be standing at the end of a bar bloviating. I can’t believe anyone pays him to hear him talk. Waste of carbon dioxide pollution.

Stop posting Geraldo stories.
HE IS IRRELEVANT! (Unless it’s a story about Lou Dobbs kicking his @$$ in a debate on immigration.)

Geraldo, one of my grandfathers came to the United states as Irish immigrant in the 1887. All of the rest came long before The U. S. was the U. S. They all came legally. I expect no less and will accept no less of anyone else who wishes to reside in this great country!

Well Pearls, I don’t know where you’re from but I’ve lived here in NJ, New Yorks just across the Hudson from where I grew up and Jerrys and old story to me, going back to his days as a Peurto Rican troublemaking bigot with the Young Lords and then his early days on ABCs Eyewitness News. I’ve got absolutly no use for this jerk.

Or, to borrow from another FReeper:

Clinton may have been the first black president, but Obama is the first teenage girl president.

Re Geraldo, you said: I’ve got absolutly no use for this jerk.

I'm with you. But, that's the kind of jerk that the White House and the MSM think of as giving "balance".

It's funny about Geraldo and his Puerto Rican heritage. As I understand it, he's half Jewish and half Puerto Rican. Like Obama, he gets to pick which half he wants to root for.

By the way, did you know that Geraldo wrote (or had ghost-written) an autobiography some 15 years ago? The title, appropriately enough, was "Exposing Myself."
