Oh my, and I do remember watching that episode back then. Afterwards, we called that show “Gerbrawldo”.

Except that radical Muslims are not the same as Holocaust survivors.

From Wikipedia: National Socialist Party of America v. Village of Skokie


Purpose of the Case

In 1977 Frank Collin, the leader of National Socialist Party of America, announced the party's intention to march through Skokie, Illinois. In the predominantly Jewish community, one in six residents was a Holocaust survivor[citation needed]. Originally, the NSPA had planned a political rally in Marquette Park in Chicago; however the Chicago authorities blocked these plans by requiring the NSPA to post a public safety insurance bond and by banning political demonstrations in Marquette Park.

On behalf of the NSPA, the ACLU challenged the injunction issued by the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois that prohibited marchers at the proposed Skokie rally from wearing Nazi uniforms or displaying swastikas. The ACLU was represented by civil rights attorney Burton Joseph.[1][2] The challengers argued that the injunction violated the First Amendment rights of the marchers to express themselves.

Prior history

Both the Illinois Appellate Court and the Illinois Supreme Court refused to stay the injunction. The case was sent to the Supreme Court of the United States.[3]

On June 14, 1977, the Supreme Court ordered Illinois to hold a hearing on their ruling against the National Socialist Party of America, emphasizing that "if a State seeks to impose a restraint on First Amendment rights, it must provide strict procedural safeguards, including immediate appellate review... Absent such review, the State must instead allow a stay. The order of the Illinois Supreme Court constituted a denial of that right."[3] On remand, the Illinois Appellate Court eliminated the injunction against everything but the swastika. The Illinois Supreme Court heard the case again, focusing on the First Amendment implications of display of the swastika. Skokie attorneys argued that for Holocaust survivors, seeing the swastika was like being physically attacked.

The Illinois Supreme Court ruled that the use of the swastika is a symbolic form of free speech entitled to First Amendment protections and determined that the swastika itself did not constitute "fighting words." Its ruling allowed the National Socialist Party of America to march.[3]

Effect of the decision

In the summer of 1978, in response to the Supreme Court's decision, some Holocaust survivors set up a museum on the Main Street of Skokie to commemorate those who had died in the concentration camps. Ultimately the NSPA failed to carry through its march in Skokie. (Gaining permission in Chicago, they marched there instead).

This is the same man Hannity yucks it up with while calling him “my friend.”

Let’s say this is true. Then Pamela did Islam a huge favor. Scores of Muslims did not flood the even in protest; instead too radicals with ties to ISIS showed up with AK47 and body armor. However, if the cowards in the media made this point, they would then have to acknowledge that Pamela’s warnings about Radical is correct. WE CAN”T HAVE THAT NOW CAN WE...

Geraldo is a reminder of what a great country this is. When a self aggrandizing no talent person like him can make millions it shows that opportunity is boundless if you apply yourself.

Geraldo is the same idiot who chastised Bill O'Reilly for asking a few semi-tough questions of Obama in the SuperBowl Sunday interview a couple of years ago.

How ignorant of American history do you have to be to claim that the American presidency is an office of "majesty."

“You have to understand the consequences.”

I think there’s nothing wrong with that comment, as long as he’s saying “Islam is the enemy of humanity and you’re going to have to live with the consequences of doing something they don’t like” and not saying, “you’re a bigot for insulting Mohammed (peace be upon him).”

What a hypocrite, the brawl is exactly what that POS was hoping for (for ratings), he just didn’t expect to get a broken nose because of it. He incited it and he got what he deserved.

Hey Geraldo, how about comparing Muslims who want to kill Jews to Hitler. Same thing.

Still waiting....

The question is, Mr. Rivera, do we have the right to criticize Islam?
If your answer is yes (or even "yes, but..."), considering ALL criticism of Islam is an insult, do we or do we not have the right to insult Islam?
We can't have one without the other it seems, so which is it?
Do we or do we not have the right to speak our minds without getting murdered? Mr. Rivera???
