Geraldo blames Talk Radio for anti-immigration tone that offends Hispanics
Examiner ^ | January 23, 2011 | Marc Schenker

Geraldo Rivera blames Talk Radio for creating anti-immigration tone that offends Hispanics. In an interview with Bill O’Reilly from this past Friday, Geraldo Rivera launched into a tirade on the apparent tone of the immigration debate in America over the last few years. For anyone who’s ever listened to Mr. Jerry Rivers, they know exactly that he is staunchly in favor giving illegal aliens amnesty protection, which is rewarding illegals for their law-breaking disrespect of American law. After declaring that the immigration debate’s tone was vile, Rivera then went on to blame Talk Radio (as in Limbaugh, Hannity, Beck, etc.) for creating the “vile” tone in the country that is very offensive to the Hispanic community. Rivera also calls himself a Republican, apparently, an open-borders, pro-amnesty Republican, that is.

The “anti immigration tone” is a construct of the open border crowd.

Gee, I guess he wouldn’t think to blame the illegals. How about blaming the drunk drivers, the hit and runs, the home invastions, the over croweded schools, the three meals a day provided on the taxpayer’s dime, the closing emergency rooms, the “press 2 for english”.

So, just this year alone, talk radio has been blamed for the Arizona shootings, the psycho abortion murders in Philly, and now for this.

I smell a setup. Pile on the blame so they came be shut down or regulated out of business.

What a crock, this crap is already getting old.

Jerry Rivers AKA ( Giraldo Rivolver) is a loudmouth Racist Jerk and the worst cluck Fox ever hired ...
Even his name is a phony, to satisfy Affirmative Action and get on the gravy train.

“Gee, I guess he wouldn’t think to blame the illegals.”

I have listened to and watched Geraldo bloviate about this for more years than I can count. He thinks that Latinos and Hispanics own this subject. He seems to conveniently foreget that this is a country of immigrants who's roots are only a generation or two from those who came over - legally. He (Geraldo) believes that his contingent, Latinos and Hispanics) who are here in the U.S., because they illegally entered and are already here, should now receive preferential treatment and be fast tracked to the front of the line ahead of those patiently and LEGALLY waiting their turn to come to this country. As a Greek American whose father processed through Ellis Island - legally, I find Geraldo and those who are like minded and are attempting to game the system in their favor very offensive.

Jerry Rivers has always been a closet La Raza supporter.

I actually caught part of this interview. Whoraldo’s take is that Mexicans have been coming here illegals since we took their land.

Riverva is an affirmative action hired for the mentally impaired. He is such a joke.

Rivera also calls himself a Republican

Sure. Why not. There are far-left Republicans, too.

Whoraldo is Puerto Rican, he tries to identify with anything that comes along the pick when it suits him. He claims to be jewish when it suits him, he is hispanic when it suits him, he is nothing so he can claim to be anything. The man is a cardboard cutout.

I don’t know why Jerry Rivers is so offended. Conservatives are the greatest defenders of Jews worldwide.

He suffers from emotional unintelligence. There can be no "reasoning" with the emotionally immature who allow their hearts to rule their heads.

It always stuns me that FOX keeps him around. I guess he's the equivalent of Ailes’ pet rock.

"It always stuns me that FOX keeps him around."

The reason the Left hates FOX is the fact that they allow the Left-wing mouthpieces on the air in conjunction with other more conservative voices who are able to show them up for the illogical, neurotic, emotional basketcases that they really are. The Left knows their infantile arguments cannot survive in the arena of "ideas" which is WHY they are so hell-bent on silencing opposing voices.

The Left's "reasoning" deficencies are evident (for all who have the emotional stability to see) merely by giving them a platform alongside more grown-up mentalities.

It's a beautiful thing, and VERY effective. If it wasn't EFFECTIVE, the Left couldn't care less. :)
