The million-dollar question among Dancing with the Stars fans these days? How did Bristol Palin make it into the season 11 finals? "She deserves it," DWTS executive producer Conrad Green tells PEOPLE. "And a significant portion of our viewing audience believes that, too." SNIP Speculation has arisen about whether members of the Tea Party, many of whom strongly support Bristol's mom Sarah Palin, are involved in an organized effort to promote Bristol. On one conservative Web site, Freerepublic.com, some of the site's 300,000 registered users have recently used discussion threads to encourage votes for Bristol. One asked users to "make...

On ‘At-Large’ this weekend, Al Sharpton, (a chronically under-rated civil rights leader and old friend), and I pondered an interesting question: should people who consider themselves progressive applaud the election of minorities who are conservatives? It came up when Reverend Al and I were talking about the sweeping victories in the mid-term elections of Hispanic Republicans, most prominently Florida’s Senator-elect Marco Rubio. Right now, the 39-year old Cuban-American is the Latino golden boy; he’s standing astride the big stage after first driving Florida’s popular governor Charlie Crist from the GOP before the Senate primary, SNIP SNIP Aside from his early...

According to Geraldo Rivera, the new location would have to be south of Houston St. but could be east of Broadway which moves the mosque well outside of the zone understood to be "Ground Zero".

gearaldo rivera interviewing leader of new black panthers

Fox News Channel host Geraldo Rivera said last night he will set up a legal defense fund for Diane Wilson, a co-founder of the terrorist support group Code Pink who was arrested last week for disrupting a Senate hearing in a protest about the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico.Wilson stood up at a hearing of the Senate Energy Committee and doused herself with simulated oil to protest the stance by Sen. Lisa Murkowski (R-AK) on the oil industry.Rivera made the offer to set up a legal defense fund for Wilson last night when she appeared on his...

Geraldo Rivera (nee Gerald Riviera from Babylon Long Island) likes to portray himself as being the ultimate Zionist, simply based on the fact that his mother was Jewish and he had a Bar-Mitzvah when he was 13. The Fox news in-house progressive exhibits little affection for the Jewish State, but loves to announce that he is a long-time Zionist immediately before he throws Israel under the bus. Gerry from Babylon is textbook passive/aggressive.

It’s not that I liked Geraldo before. I don’t actually know anyone who watches his show other than on YouTube. But..he’s now officially become the ‘Rachel Maddow’ of FOX News. This is how he started his interview with America’s Sheriff Joe Arpaio: With the exception of CNN’s Lou Dobbs. For millions of American latinos the most unpopular person in this country is my next guest the so called toughest cop in the nation. The highly controversial sheriff of Maricopa County, Joe Arpaio. And as I said earlier with Gov. Huckabee, Joe has been recently been stripped of federal authority to...

I believe that this is my first true vanity. I saw the most repulsive thing on FNC tonight. I wanted to turn the channel but I couldn't. I felt like I was watching a live broadcast from Hell. It was pure evil. Geraldo Rivera with Jesse Ventura, Mike Huckabee, Rod Blagojevich. Then for a guest they had Michael Lohan to talk about his daughter Lindsay. It appears that Ventura and Huckabee have joined Geraldo in totally supporting Obama. Blago seems to be avoiding politics as might be wise for someone nearing trial.

Here is video of Geraldo Rivera on the scene in Haiti of a Citibank being looted. He sees Haitian police scurrying about and finds out they are responding to a Citibank that locals say had been being looted for hours. The police chase off the looters, capturing one. Geraldo asks the looter if he took money, and he answered "No." Geraldo responds, "That's what they all say." At the end of the report, Geraldo says locals are concerned that if the police don't stay at the bank location, looting will continue as soon as they are gone. Geraldo closes by...

Over the weekend, the Daily News reported that Fox News host Geraldo Rivera has told Fox News founder and chairman Roger Ailes he'll quit if Ailes hires Lou Dobbs. Rivera tells Rush & Molloy, "I never threatened to quit," adding, "The last time I checked, no one here was talking to the a-—." A rep for Ailes concurs, telling the paper he isn't looking to add Dobbs to either FNC or FBN. And all this reminded us about a situation a few years ago just after Rivera signed a reported 6-year $36m contract with NBC. In August, 1998 Newsweek reported...

Here is video of Geraldo Rivera on "Fox and Friends" talking about the Ft. Hood shooting. Brian Kilmeade asked Geraldo "do you think it's time for the military to have special debriefings of Muslim army officers, anybody enlisted?" Geraldo answered "Isn't this the headline, Brian, that there are 4 or 5 million American Muslims and how scant and few and far between these horrifying incidents are?" (Video)

Ann Coulter debates Limbaugh vs. Obama

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,...
