As much as I dislike Geraldo, I believe he truly supports the troops and wants to be identified with them. I actually feel rather sorry for him in this.

Yes, he was stupid and used bad judgment with his sand drawing. However, I do not put him in the class of Peter Arnett who was doing his best to hurt our troops. Geraldo was just dumb. He let his determination to play "Mr. Big Man" ruin his judgment.

It's hard to choose.  One of them was Saddam's
bag man and the other Clinton's colostomy bag.

Informing the world of a units impending action in realtime is close to murder. Geraldo should be beaten like a dog for being a self centered media spotlight hog asswipe, and the soldiers who filled him in should be ever aware of their foolishness.

I agree with you.
No way is Geraldo in the same category as Arnett.
After Eason Jordan's NY Times piece, I would think that Arnett will never show his face again. Assuming he has any shame at all.

I agree, Geraldo is dim and i think its compounded by something else. He was on about a week before the war in iraq broke out covering the military in afghanastan hunting down al queda after sheik mohammed got nabbed. i've seen people stoned on hash before and geraldo looked and talked exactly that. rambling, incomplete sentences with a euphoric glow, and talking very slow, like he's trying to be deliberate in what he said, but it came out disconnected. he was on again the next night, early in the day over there and acted stoned again. i think his judgement's been seriously with middle eastern hashish.

. . .agree; and think since his move to Fox he has become more wise to certain political realities . . .and that is good.

. . .and yes, only the Liberal media tried to equivicate in the mind of the beholder the Treason of Peter Arnett with Geraldo's faux pas. Made them, CNN and NBC look less guilty by assosciation.

Bottom line, though he has been there a while, give Geralso a 'thumbs-up' as a realative newbie at Fox. . .

I agree. I even sent Geraldo an e-mail when I saw the disgusting Olbermann report. I sent MSNBC one and complained about Herr Olbermann, as well.

I agree. I also didn't see the same "cold shoulder" that was supposedly given to him. I like Geraldo, big ego and all. He's like a big ol' puppy dog that doesn't know it's making a mess of things when it wags its tail.

[LibertyThug]

I agree with you. He has not, thus far, faltered in his praise for our military men.
He is pompous and he made a mistake. I just hope our soldiers tolerate him because he serves a purpose.

Re your Reply #10, I agree 100% with your assessment of the Geraldo situation and -- as much as I hate to say it -- I actually feel a bit bad for him, as well.

And I *never* thought I'd say that about him.
