Here is audio of Lou Dobbs responding to Geraldo Rivera's attacks at a speech he made. Geraldo also attacked Dobbs today on "Brian & The Judge" radio show calling him "the man who's done more to slander Latinos in this country than anyone else." Lou Dobbs said Geraldo "wouldn't know a fact if it hit him in the rear." Dobbs said Geraldo spews "vile stupidity and ignorance everywhere he goes." (Video)

Here is audio of Geraldo Rivera on "Brian & The Judge" calling Lou Dobbs "the man who's done more to slander Latinos in this country than anyone else." Geraldo asked "where is the complaints about CNN and Lou Dobbs from the administration? Don't they care that President Obama would not be President but for the Latino vote? They allow a reporter, or a correspondent, or a commentator to go on the air night after night with profoundly negative stereotypical falsehoods about Latinos and particularly immigrants." (Audio)

Here is video of Bill O'Reilly talking with Geraldo Rivera about the media not covering the murder of Pro-Life demonstrator Jim Pouillon. O'Reilly points out that the media was outraged over the Dr. Tiller murder but won't even mention the murder of Jim Pouillon. (Video)

Here is video of Geraldo Rivera this morning reacting to a Tampa Bay Town Hall Meeting that became chaotic, saying he believes the anti-ObamaCare protesters showing up at Health Care Town Hall Meetings are a product of a "racial divide in the parties," and that they are "creations" and are "organized." He also said he believes the protesters have "succeeded." Geraldo said he believes what they are doing is "fair game," just like what Obama has done in organizing large numbers of people for his ends. . . . . . (Watch Video)

I thought we were supposed to be a colorblind society? Geraldo says he will celebrate Sotomayor's nomination by drinking rum and eating rice and beans(no kidding)

(CNSNews.com) – Journalist and TV personality Geraldo Rivera summed up the optimism of pro-immigrant activists and mostly Democrat politicians at the 13th annual U.S.-Mexico Congressional Border Issues Conference by saying he is confident President Barack Obama will keep his campaign promise to sign “comprehensive immigration reform” into law. “Barack Obama is the first Hispanic president the same way Bill Clinton was the first black” president, Rivera said at the conference, which took place Thursday at the U.S. Capitol. Rivera also said the Hispanic community should “give the president some slack” in keeping that promise on immigration reform, given the pressing...

Letters to the Editor: 2.24.09 Their time is gone I read the article in the Feb. 19 edition about Geraldo Rivera applauding LULAC’s mission. Believe me, I’m not an idealist, but I am a thinker. What would happen if LULAC and the NAACP went away? I believe we would all be fine. It seems to me that organizations that represent people solely on the basis of race tend to be more racist than the causes that they fight so adamantly against. Why can’t we have a single Chamber of Commerce that represents Hispanic and black interests as well as their...

Noteworthy, not because this is the first time he’s said something this vile but because it’s not. He floated it to our favorite liberal in February during an interview on Fox News radio (and, sad to say, wasn’t called on it) and thought so highly of his bon mot that he recycled it for his new book. Either no one’s taken him aside to explain how disgusting it is or someone has taken him aside but he thinks it’s so important and righteous that he’s going to keep deploying it anyway. I don’t know which is worse. Bear in mind,...

No political party can prevail nationally on Anglo votes alone, so the long-term danger to Republicans is that their party is sending a message to Latinos that it doesn't want us. "There has been too much of an anti-immigration tone," Rep. Lincoln Diaz-Belart, a South Florida Republican congressmen, told USA Today. "When people start to perceive that immigrants are being put in the same category as a threat to national security, it's hard to get your message across." -snip "Bush has worked incredibly hard for his Hispanic vote share. He reversed historic Republican Party positions on issues of importance to...

The Boston Globe has a fawning Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous-ish profile of Fox News Channel’s Geraldo Rivera. In between musing about his favorite pair of soft Uggs (”I’ve worn these in Tora Bora and Somalia,” he says, admiring the suede slip-ons with the sheepskin lining. “They’re so comfortable. I love them.”), his “36-foot Hinckley powerboat,” and his massive estates (including “Seagate, the spectacular, 10-bedroom estate he bought several years ago with his fourth wife” and another “Kennedy-esque compound” with his current wife), he spews this: Rivera, who as a fledgling lawyer in the ’70s counseled the Puerto Rican...

Geraldo Rivera’s breathless tease By Michelle Malkin  •  July 16, 2007 08:09 AM If you want ignorant ranting about immigration and the Zina Linnik case, go watch Geraldo Rivera (thanks to readers for e-mailing me about it over the weekend and AP for clipping the vid). Utterly shameless. Geraldo teased his Saturday night segment on the case by claiming that Zina’s uncle, Anatoly Kalchik, would argue that Zina’s accused murderer should be called a “monster” instead of an “immigrant:” GERALDO: The tragic story was twisted to aggravate the immigration debate… A little girl snatched and brutally murdered. Tonight her family speaks...

A recent Newsweek poll showing Democrat Barack Obama leading top Republican presidential hopefuls could have been made up and might help al-Qaida, conservative commentator Ann Coulter said in her latest verbal broadside. Coulter, a best-selling author known for outrageous and often controversial statements, was asked Sunday on Fox News'"At Large" what she thought about the survey results. "I think this is Newsweek doing more push polling for al-Qaida," she said, referring to campaign-season telephone calls to voters masquerading as neutral surveys but designed to build opposition to targeted candidates. Asked by host Geraldo Rivera whether she thought Newsweek would make...

My friend Geraldo Rivera and I had quite the verbal shootout the other day over the needless deaths of Allison Kunhardt, 17, and Tessa Tranchant, 16, in Virginia. Twenty-two-year-old Alfredo Ramos, an illegal alien from Mexico, killed the girls when he slammed into their car while drunk. Ramos had three previous alcohol-related convictions and an identity theft beef as well. Despite all the criminal activity, the feds had no idea Ramos was even in the country because Virginia Beach is a "Sanctuary City" and its police chief, Alfred Jacocks, had ordered his officers not to ask about immigration status when...

Said he will go down as greatest civil right leader of the "late 20th century."

NEW YORK - Bill O’Reilly and Geraldo Rivera said Friday there were no hard feelings after they engaged in a shouting match unusual even for a cable opinion program where the volume is frequently set to loud. No chairs flew and no noses were broken. But the finger-pointing verbal duel over illegal immigration on Fox News Channel’s “The O’Reilly Factor” on Thursday night became a water-cooler topic the next day. “Geraldo is a friend of mine, and I think I respect him even more now, if that’s possible, than I did before,” O’Reilly told The Associated Press on Friday. But...

On tonight's edition of The OReilly Factor on the FNC, Rivera stated that he believed the "kamikaze" style attacks took "courage" to carry out.OReilly immediately disagreed with the ignorant and disgraceful sentiment spewed by Rivers.

I often decry the laziness, incompetence and bias of the American press. Tuesday night in Sago, West Virginia, the press sank to an all-time low, in covering the mine disaster. Working on the Internet, with a 24-hour news channel running, I heard the announcement that the original reports were false. Instead of one miner dead and 12 rescued, the reverse was true. Only one was found alive where they had barricaded themselves in, to await rescue. An orgy of press coverage followed, in which reporters stuck microphones in the faces of grief-stricken survivors, seeking agonizing sound bites for the titillation...

Los Angeles Times' media critic Tim Rutten has long had a somewhat troubled relationship with reality (for just a few examples, see here, here, and here). He also has never been shy about letting his liberal political views get in the way of doing what he actually should be doing: Analyzing the media in a fair and objective way.However, his liberal slams on conservative media reached a new low in his weekly column, "It's hard to feel bad for Geraldo" (Sat. Sept. 17, 2005) (reg. req'd), which begins as follows (emphasis mine): "IT would be comforting to believe that Geraldo...

Today, Monday Sept. 5th, we were just listening to the Tony Snow show on tape delay here on KCOL 600am in northern Colorado (Tony's show follows Sean's three hour program) and he was interviewing Geraldo Rivera live from somewhere in Louisiana. Geraldo mentioned a phrase to describe how a number of the victims of this tragedy died that I had never heard before. He said... "People are being forgotten to death" I completely agree! A significant number of elderly folks in the poor neighborhoods in the city limits of New Orleans who honestly could not help themselves died alone and...

BAGHDAD — After the US military insisted that Fox News remove former talk show host, Geraldo Rivera, from the battlefield for giving away US troop locations and movements, Geraldo has landed a job with the Al Jazeerah news agency. "Talk about an overreaction by the Pentagon," said Geraldo. "All I did was draw a map in the sand and compromise the lives of the members of the 101st Airborne, the brave 'Screaming Eagles' made famous by Steven Spielberg in Band of Brothers. Now if I'd been a reporter in Normandy, I could have helped the Germans and made the invasion...
