Geraldo Rivera reporting from Libya truly demonstrates the great lengths he will go in order to report a story, as he found himself in the middle of crossfire between an “unruly gang” of Libyan rebels and the professional snipers from Gaddafi’s forces. Geraldo quickly ducks for cover, and the brave crew keeps the camera rolling.
Rivera described the chaotic experience:
“It was a wild, wild scene. And I was as worried about getting shot in the back by the good guys, as I was about getting shot in the front by the Gaddafi forces.”
Also with his on-the-ground knowledge, Rivera provides a startling assessment of the “rebel army,” suggesting they “have the fire discipline of an L.A. street gang.” As a result, Rivera advises against NATO or America arming the rebels, because if the rebels had more weapons, Geraldo predicts they would be a “grave danger to themselves and others [since] they don’t know how to use these weapons.”

I think that Geraldo deserves a bit of slack for having the guts to be near the flying bullets at all. That’s more than 90%+ of his detractors can say.
"Dance, sugarbritches!!"
It is about time that those big lights he uses for interviews gave away his position and drew fire.
“Geraldo is no journalist”
______________
But he plays one on TV.
You would think that if both sides are shooting at him they have a pretty good chance of hitting him.
Well, maybe next time.
... one of the great moments in American journalism. What an IDIOT! Didn't he get summarily dis-embedded for that.
Mark Steyn said something to the effect that their favorite use of weapons was firing into the air celebrating something no one else understands.
Geraldo was well studied on how best to protect the stache when in a firefight.
Hay-Soos?
They're all over the lot in Mehico.
Whorealdo probably knows at least one.
We should send him”Black Lassie”, A Great American dog to straighten things out!
Heh heh, somebody finally got it.
And... PIGS can fly!
Just a stunt... just a stunt.
"I swear to god, if you give these people weapons more powerful than they have right now, they will be a grave danger to themselves and others."
I’m pretty sure he’s in this video too0.....somewhere.
Holiday in Monrovia. For your viewing pleasure.
