Fox News correspondent on disruptiveWisconsin protesters:‘There is hate in their eyes’
Daily Caller | 2/27/11 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 02/27/2011 10:55:08 AM PST by Nachum

If you’ve been a viewer of the Fox News Channel over the past week and a half and have paid attention to its coverage of the standoff between Wisconsin Republican Gov. Scott Walker and Democratic members of the state Senate, you may have noticed the protest that has ensued in Madison, Wisc. has been less than hospitable to the cable news channel’s reporters. On Saturday night’s broadcast of “Geraldo at Large,” Fox News correspondent Mike Tobin took some critical shots at protesters attempting to shout down and disrupt his broadcast.

The DUmmies are claiming the police have joined the insurrection and will defy the Governor’s orders to clear the Capitol at 4 PM today.

I suspect Geraldo wasn't thrilled with Tobin's reporting. Rivera has been in "solidarity" with the protesters since the get-go.

What? There are nasty, critical, bitter, angry liberals out there? No way! /sarc

I thought all of those adjectives were implied anytime you mentioned the word liberal in the first place.

Did you see the nut screaming “FOX Lies!” over and over again in the reporter's ear? I'd think some of the nut's fellow lefties would realize how bad he's making them all look and pull him away. OTOH, I'm surprised some FOX reporter hasn't been physically attacked by these goons. That might be the final straw to wake up Americans to what a bunch of violent criminal thugs so many of these union “protesters” are.

Well the Democrats are the Taxtakers and the Republicans are the Taxpayers. The question is how much tax can the taxtakers take without the taxpayers running out of money?

Of course the unions are full of hate. They are seeing their power being diminished and gulp, might end up being like the “common people”. Oh no, not that.

I don’t usually watch Jerry Rivers, but I had the channel on FOX when Tobin did his report. If they hated FOX before they’re really going to be hating on them now. FOX told the truth about the protesters, and you just do that and get away with it these days.

I heard that too. I hope not but I won't be surprised. So what happens when the cops won't do their jobs?

“Rivera has been in “solidarity” with the protesters since the get-go. “

I truly believe Geraldo is a racist, and he tempers this with enough reasoned rhetoric to obscure it. I'm sure he wouldn't think he is, and probably prides himself in being well-informed, compassionate, and insightful.

Geraldo actually made (accidentally, I'm sure) an interesting suggestion that totally flummoxed the WI state senator he was talking to. Geraldo asked a (black) state senator why they didn't come back to WI, refuse to sit in the legislature, get arrested, and become “martyrs” like M L King. The guy was rendered speechless for several seconds, and then launched into the usual crap about worker's rights, etc. Geraldo stupidly trying to make heroes out of these clowns exposed them as the crybaby lumps of mud they really are.

When dems realize they can 'take it all', they will. When that's done, they'll destroy was can't be taken...
