Fox News Channel hosts Eric Bolling and Geraldo Rivera blew up at each other on Rivera’s radio program on Tuesday amid an argument over the appropriateness of President Barack Obama’s response to the attacks on American diplomatic and service personnel in Benghazi in 2012. Bolling and Rivera battled over Obama’s personal culpability in the attacks until Bolling hung up after being accused by Rivera of alleging that the president was “a damn murderer.”
Rivera opened the interview by criticizing Bolling’s focus on Obama’s actions on the night of the attack. He said that Bolling is buying into a “false narrative” suggesting that Obama was personally disengaged on the night of the attack.
Bolling said that there are multiple legitimate questions relating to the administration’s response to the Benghazi attack, including who gave the order to not respond to the second attack and why the White House first blamed the attack on a YouTube video.

Bolling said that the military abandoned its 237-year-old motto to “leave no one behind.”
“You just heard Eric Bolling make an inflammatory statement alleging the worst kind of comment by the president and the secretary,” Rivera said to former New York Gov. Eliot Spitzer.
“It’s not alleging. It’s what happened,” Bolling fired back. “There’s nothing alleged about that, Geraldo.”
“What you’re alleging is an intentional failure to intervene when they had the opportunity to do that,” Spitzer agreed.

Good for EB!
Jerry Rivers is an infuriating quisling clown.
bttt
Anyone else think Jerry would be a little more “curious” about Benghazi if the victims were Hispanic?
Yes! We need more people with microphones to tell the truth!
Ever wonder why the press never asks Obama the question “Why did you order the military to stand down at Benghazi?”
Bush was interupted in front of a class of elementary school children while reading a story. He didn't panic. He didn't rush out of the room. He exited gracefully within about 10 minutes.
The Left was all over that -- a clear dereliction of duty! The man was unfit to hold the office! "My Pet Goat" jokes were everywhere.
Obama? Well, that's different. He's black, so you can't criticize him.
Geraldo has replaced Colmes apparently.
Yep, Elliot, old boy...that is precisely one of several atrocious things that happened.
EB when speaking to us? Preaching to the choir
EB when speaking to Geraldo’s audience? Preaching to the deaf.
Or as Rush said recently (to the effect): these people do not want to be our friends. I have no reason to ever think they will like me. So why waste the time?
Geraldo is a leftist dunce who belongs on MSLSD. FOX needs to dump him promptly.
What will Jerry Rivers say when he finds out exactly what Barry was doing during the critical hours?
I can’t understand Fox News airing Geraldo Rivera so regularly. He brings no credibility to his job. But very few leftist commentators on Fox (Geraldo Rivera, Juan Williams, Alan Colmes, Dennis Kucinich and Bob Beckel) do. Amazingly, only Kirsten Powers shows any honesty in her assessments.
It’s the Fox “food fight” of the day.
Fox has contempt for it’s viewers and feels the need to offer WWE type discourse.
I’d toss a folding chair at Whore-aldo,, but he finally figured out how to duck. what a creep.
Obama was stoned the night of the attacks. Everyone knows it.
LOL.
Good for Eric! He hung up!
