'Goodbye!' Fox News veteran Geraldo Rivera sent packing by Occupy Wall Street protesters

* He was trying to interview demonstrators in New York

* Forced to walk away among 'Fox News lies' chants

* Crowd started singing 'Goodbye' as Rivera left area

Perhaps Geraldo Rivera should choose a quieter area for interviewing Occupy Wall Street protesters next time. Maybe he shouldn’t bother at all.

The veteran Fox News presenter was forced away from the demonstrators on Sunday as they chanted ‘Fox News lies!’ at him in Manhattan, New York.

The 68-year-old was trying to talk to protesters when crowds recognised him and he walked away with his bodyguards to chants of ‘Goodbye!’

The demonstrators were reacting to what they perceive as intense criticism from Fox News of their protest movement over the last few weeks.

Protesters tried to speak to Mr Rivera as he walked away to the sound of: ‘Nah, nah, nah, nah; hey, hey, hey; goodbye!’.

Many Republican politicians and right-wing thinkers have been critical of the protesters, with Herman Cain labelling them 'jealous’.

But the demonstrations, which are now entering their fourth week nationwide, have now spread to more than 25 cities in the U.S.

Mr Rivera is an experienced broadcaster who once interviewed Michael Jackson before his trial for child molestation charges....

Guess they don't watch Fox News. If they did, they'd have welcomed him with open arms.

He has absolutely nothing I want to hear. And Jerry: lose the bodyguards and the ludicrous ‘stache if you want to have any hope at all of not being recognized. Oh, wait...

Clown.

The counter-culture gutter-rats are filled with DEBT GREED, and they think that their SPENDAHOLIC Obama is a “totally awesome” leader.

Of course Gerry Rivers will continue to be his stupid liberal self, even after being shunned.

Guess that hippies cred you built up over all those decades has been a waste, eh Jere?

I have avoided network news for SO long now that I was unaware —and am shocked that— Jerry Rivers even worked 4 Fox, in the first place.

That’s amazing.

In his book, “Exposing Myself” Rivera wrote that as a young poor law student (he was a lawyer for a NYC street gang) he.... :

1.) He got a girl pregnant

2.) He paid for her to get an abortion

3.) The money for the abortion came from a ROBBERY

4.) The guy who perpetrated the robber was a COP

Nice, huh..?

I also heard that long ago he raped Bette Midler, or something.

Sorta makes you wanna hit him in the nose with a chair, right?

I didn’t watch him last night just because I though he was going to do a kiss up to the subhumans.

Hating Geraldo is one of the few ideas that could really unite the country.

He may not look 68 but that is just proof of all the plastic surgery and other cosmetic services that an overpayed, leftist, pseudo-celebrity can buy.

I am one of the 99% whose public education did NOT include basic economics — but unlike the moronic protesters, I decided to listen and learn from more knowledgeable like Rush Limbaugh, Walter Williams, Ayn Rand, Sean Hannity, Mark Steyn, Mark Belling, Mark Davis, Herman Cain, Glenn Beck... (add your names and share). I work, I vote, and I obey the laws. If I don’t like the laws, I let my opinion be known to the ones who make the laws.

These are the dopes who believed Geraldo’s idiotic “black people are eating their babies!” reports from the Superdome in New Orleans during Katrina.
