Fox’s Geraldo On Arizona Shooting: “This Event Affects Sarah Palin’s Political Future”
Mediaite ^ | January 9, 2011 | Alex Alvarez

Posted on 01/08/2011 10:55:24 PM PST by 2ndDivisionVet

Late Saturday night, Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera, discussing the Arizona Safeway shooting that left Congresswoman Gabrielle Gifford injured and six others dead with Tea Party 365 co-founder David Webb, “went there” by invoking former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. Palin’s name has been linked to reports on Saturday’s shooting thanks, in part, to the “crosshair” imagery used in her so-called “Hit List” of 20 politicians, previously posted on website “Take Back the 20.”

“However unfair the link is,” said Rivera, “I think that this event affects Sarah Palin’s at least short term political future.” He then offered his prediction that, tomorrow, Palin’s name will (still) be tied to the media’s flurry of reports on the shooting, facing “criticism and scrutiny” for a perceived link to alleged gunman Jared Loughner.

Fox has been particularly obnoxious in attempting to tie this to the tea party.

McCain won the nomination because he beat the other candidates. No one would listen when warned it would be him or Guiliani. They went on and trashed Rudi including the wholesale purge here of his supporters then flopped around bringing up absurd alternatives to McCain all of whom were roundly rejected by most Republicans. It was not the media which did all that.

And you honestly believe Rudy would have fared better?

Do you honestly believe with all the liberal crap Rudy had been associated with he would have fared better with the base of the GOP, you know, the social conservatives?

“I could care less who is on the ballot in 2012. I’ve already decided that I’m voting for Palin. I’ll write her in if I have to.”

I am with you....PDS has become a pop fad.
I do not suffer from PDS, like many that are said to be on our side. That includes many FReepers and talkers such as Michael Savage.

He needs to be fired. Immediately.
This is not news.
It’s vile Left-wing smear.

Excuse me (WHORE-aldo, NYSLIMES, et-al) - but what the HELL does Sarah Palin have to do with this ugly shooting??????!!!!!

Sarah has NEVER said anything about shooting anyone.

The shooter, by all info so far, is a raving Leftist Liberal Wack-Job.

Nothing about the Tea Party has any observable connection

Daily Kos actually listed the victim in question as a target two years ago... where is the outrage? OH - that is a liberal turn. Liberal turds love each other’s smell....

I don’t want Sarah as our candidate for POTUS, but crap... she doesn’t deserve ANYTHING in regards to this shooting...

Geraldo has no perceived link to being a reporter.

Why Fox pays this idiot is beyond me.

What’s bad is that the left is up and running with their crap and it will be until Monday before conservative talk radio can fight back. A lot of damage will have been done by then.

Yup, every time I see a symbol that looks something like a target or crosshairs, I go on a murderous rampage. Doesn't everyone?

Not so sure about that. The DNC smear machine has lost huge amounts of credibility. The response on the internet is strong and swift as we speak and the left is already back pedaling.

Her career isn’t in nearly as much jeopardy as Gerry’s.

His photo can be found in a dictionary next to “has-been.”

Stupidity. That’s why he works weekends and is largely forgotten by the public. What a schlemiel.

As Rush says, Gerry only shows up on Fox when somebody dies. He calls him “The Grim Reaper.”

Kos’ bulls-eye seems a more likely culprit for a targeting symbol than Palin’s register marks.

The PDS crowd smells blood in the water. They will have a feeding frenzy on this subject for as long as they can.

I’d love to and will as soon as somebody can come up with the money to start a REAL conservative network.
