Live Action News recently addressed a segment on “The Five” during which co-host Geraldo Rivera voiced his support for the harvesting of fetal parts. Don’t you fear, Eric, that the scandal, the justifiable scandal over the callousness of the people portrayed in this video might put an end to the harvesting of what would be garbage, they would throw it away and there may be the cure for cancer in there. Maybe there is the cure for heart disease in that fetal resource. Rivera does acknowledge there is “callousness” in the videos released by the Center for Medical Progress featuring...

Dear Fox News. Please get rid of Geraldo Rivera. I can't watch the 5 anymore. Bring the drunk guy back. He never made any sense either, but he was quieter. The 5 used to be my favorite talking head show. Now it's a screaming head show. I vote for Camille Paglia to replace Geraldo. At least we'll gain some understanding of progressive liberalthink thinking.

A Fox News Channel panel became heated Thursday as two conservative hosts on “The Five” clashed with their liberal colleague over the Planned Parenthood controversy. Passions were ignited when Geraldo Rivera accused Eric Bolling of being against federal funding for Planned Parenthood because he is pro-life. Bolling was not in the mood for an on-air battle. “Can you not do this again today? Can you not do this again today?” he asked. Rivera continued hammering away at him. “I’m not commenting on abortion, Geraldo!” Bolling quipped. “I’m commenting on selling body parts!” “What is a good abortion to you?” Rivera...

Controversial Donald Trump adviser Roger Stone is at again and this time he’s provoked Geraldo Rivera into threatening physical assault against him. The Fox News host promised to kick Stone’s “racist ass” today after Stone decided to pick a fight with CNN contributor Ana Navarro, a Latina, and former CNN contributor Roland Martin, an African-American, recently tweeting that both political pundits were “quota hires”: Rivera, a former “Celebrity Apprentice” contestant, quickly jumped to the defense of Navarro and Martin and urged Trump to dump Stone, whom he described as a “thug” Stone quickly shot back, calling him “pathetic” and a...

On Tuesday’s edition of The Five on the Fox News Channel (FNC), liberal panelist Geraldo Rivera defended Planned Parenthood in wake of the video scandal concerning body parts from aborted babies, fretting that it “might put an end to the harvesting of what would be garbage” that “may” help contribute to a “cure for cancer” or “heart disease.” Moments after co-host Greg Gutfeld opened the segment with a commentary on the disturbing scandal, Rivera wondered to co-host Eric Bolling if he “fear[ed]...that the scandal, the justifiable scandal over the callousness of the people portrayed in this video might put an...

The Skinhead brawl from the old Geraldo TV show, 11/3/88

The armed guard who protected Geraldo Rivera as he covered the Baltimore riots has been under arrest since May 1 due to the fact that he did not have a license to carry a gun in Maryland. According to the The Baltimore Sun’s Kevin Rector, the guard “has been in jail since May 1 for carrying guns around Baltimore protest w/o an MD carry permit.” The Sun reports that Baltimore Officer John Potts “spotted a man holding handcuffs and an ammunition box” on May 1. He kept watching and saw Donald F. Scott allegedly “open the rear hatch of a...

The co-hosts of Fox News Channel’s The Five began Tuesday’s show with discussion of actor Vince Vaughn’s recent comments in support of gun rights and grew rather heated when first-time co-host Geraldo Rivera compared Vaughn to Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh. Following co-host Greg Gutfeld’s opening commentary about Vaughn’s, the media’s reaction to them, and how killers often seek out places where it’s unlikely that anyone will be carrying a gun, Rivera first commented by remarking that “[t]he Second Amendment is most lavishly defended” amendment in “all the Constitution of the United States.” After Gutfeld asserted that is important since...

Apparently ABC News standards have dropped since Geraldo Rivera used to work for them. Unlike George Stephanopolous -- who is currently still employed even after his $75,000 donation to the Clinton Foundation -- Rivera was axed when he made a mere $200 political contribution back in 1985. Appearing on Friday’s edition of FNC’s Fox and Friends, Rivera told the cast “I was fired by ABC News in 1985...the official reason given for my being fired in 1985 was a $200 donation I made to a non-partisan mayoral campaign.” Rivera did add that he was in “a very contentious relationship” with...

Fox & Friends had Geraldo Rivera on the show Friday morning to discuss Pamela Geller and the shooting incident outside her “Draw Muhammad” contest. As you might expect, given his recent comments, Rivera had a plethora of harsh things to say about the anti-Islam activist. “She most reminds me of the Aryan Nation, KKK, racists,” he said. “I see them on television now and I feel like taking a shower.” Tell us how you really feel. “If Pamela Geller, if you put ‘Jew’ in there or ‘Irish’ in there or ‘black’ in there, any other groups, she would not be...

Geraldo Rivera told the Fox & Friends troika that Benjamin Netanyahu was a divisive and petty leader who had fractured U.S.-Israeli relations — as a certain mustachioed someone has been warning for years. “If I were President Obama, I would have sent Bibi Netanyahu a congratulatory postcard by snail mail on a form written ‘congratulations on your recent election,’” Rivera said. “It is the appropriate thing to do to someone who has absolutely insulted the American constitutional system.” “It caused a division in the U.S./Israeli relationship that has never existed before,” he continued. “And then for Bibi Netanyahu to run...

Gun-Grabbing Geraldo: 'Far Too Many Creepy Untrained People with Deadly Weapons' By Melissa Mullins | February 28, 2015 | 10:52 PM EST Fox News host Geraldo Rivera made another outrageous statement regarding gun control, and his distaste for those who choose to exercise their right for the Second Amendment. On Friday’s Fox & Friends show, Geraldo was asked to comment on a recent story out of Pasadena, Texas about a mother who was “charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.”

On Friday, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera said he “lament(s)” that the number of guns that are in America, including the guns that guns that people possess “legally.” Rivera said these things during an appearance on Fox & Friends, after being asked to comment on a mom who had pulled a gun to stop a fight where one girl pinned another girl on the ground and was punching her in the head repeatedly. The mother has been “charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon.” After watching the cell phone footage of the incident, Rivera responded: “First, I’ll talk about the...

Unless you have been stranded on Mars lately, you’ve probably already heard about the lies being told by NBC news anchor, Brian Williams, who has been suspended by the network for six months, a period which they hope will be enough time for everyone to forget about the incident and Williams can be restored to his anchor position, allowing him to then begin telling lies about the GOP challengers in the 2016 U.S. presidential race. Williams told David Letterman that, while he was reporting from Iraq, his helicopter was shot at in 2003, a claim which he has repeated several...

Martin Luther King Jr.’s accomplishments include being one of the most revered civil rights leader in history. Al Sharpton’s accomplishments include dodging taxes and being really awful at reading a teleprompter. But that didn’t stop Geraldo Rivera from comparing the two men on Bill O’Reilly’s show. O’Reilly had him on to discuss Fox poll numbers that suggest that, overall, Americans are not fond of the Rev. “Al Sharpton’s constituency really likes him a lot. He is the man for the black civil rights movement right now,” Rivera replied. “It’s sad that a shakedown artist tax cheat can be put in...

Doubling down on comments he made Wednesday night, Fox News’ Geraldo Rivera appeared on Fox & Friends Friday morning to discuss Cleveland Cavs star LeBron James and the statement he made recently wearing an “I Can’t Breathe” t-shirt prior to a game with the Brooklyn Nets. While LeBron is far from the only NBA player who has worn the shirt to show his dissatisfaction with the grand jury’s decision not to indict NYPD Officer Daniel Pantaleo in the death of Eric Garner, he is definitely the most high-profile athlete who has done so. Therefore, pundits and commentators have focused on...

“Deserted by Latinos, blacks and his feckless lazy Millennial supporters…” Geraldo Rivera declared on Twitter Wednesday that the Democrats’ wave defeat was all about race and age. Obama, he wrote, was “deserted” by Latinos, blacks and “his feckless lazy Millennial supporters,” which allowed the president to get his "a** kicked" by “millions of angry old white folk.” In addition to the racial implications of his statement (sure sounds like the description of a lynching…), as Twitchy notes, Rivera’s assertion is egregious in its assumptions about age demos: By the way, according to CNN’s exit polls, Rep. Cory Gardner, R-Colo., won...

In covering the tragic story of a young girl accidentally killing her range instructor with an Uzi, my colleague Matt Vespa predicted that the anti-gun lobby would exploit this story to promote their agenda. It appears his prediction has been proven true. This past Thursday, Geraldo Rivera, a noted proponent of gun control, posted the following anti-Second Amendment message on his website and Facebook page: (emphasis added) Like I always say, the 2nd Amendment, the provision that gives every American the right to keep and bear arms, is blind and stupid. In its relentless pimping for the gun industry, the...

Even as the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) enjoy success after success in their operations to demilitarize the Gaza Strip and protect Israel’s security, the Jewish nation fights the war against radical Islamic terrorism on a second front–the liberal international media. Terrorist leaders not only wage war on Israeli civilians, but also encourage Palestinian civilians to put themselves in harm’s way in order that their deaths may serve as fodder for their propaganda machine. As a result, the IDF, the military that has done more than any other in world history to protect civilians on the other side of the conflict,...
