Geraldo Rivera complains: Obamacare is coming apart
Fox Morning News | 8/7/09

Posted on 08/07/2009 6:46:16 AM PDT by pabianice

This morning Geraldo Rivera had a small tantrum on the Fox Morning Show as he tried to defend Obamacare to the rest of the guests who weren't having any of it. I was surprised and disappointed to hear Rivera say that he believes in Obamacare and that opposition to it in town hall meetings is being organized by Obama-hating professional right-wing goons. He then raised eyebrows by offering that Obamacare is disintegrating before the Dems' eyes (despite the Libs' bussing-in violent union thugs, whom Obama describes as "grass roots supporters" of Obama).

After attending the John Dingell Town Hall last night and talking with many of the people who were there waiting in line, all I have to say to the left is, keep calling their anger “manufactured” and calling them shills for the Insurance companies. Its going over REAL well. LOL

you know, Christianity REALLY grew during times of persecution so....you’re right! Keep persecuting us because it will work the exact opposite of their hopes.

What else do you expect from this pro-illegals showboater? One thing about Giraldo is he is consistent...consistently on the wrong side.

Oh it’s Kool-Aide alright and a bit of some other ingedient...

I think Hairaldo used MD 20-20 as the mixer of choice in the beginning, BOr, on the other hand, went for High-Balls, I think.

“And now we open the Obama Healthcare Vault in the name of you fine taxpaying citizens and . . . its EMPTY. (Well, how about that?)

The only reason geraldo believes in obamacare is because it covers illegals.
Wow, the first response gets it right on the nose!
It's also the reason Whoroldo is for Sotomeyer ... he's a racist!

Rivera’s rant didn’t seem to be that well-received. The whole thing turned into a shouting match, and despite the fact that F&F said he’d be back after the commercial break, Judge Napolitano appeared instead. No Geraldo. So either he walked off in a snit, or he was asked NOT to return after the break. I’m betting on the first option—he was furious that the others didn’t agree with him.

I told my wife the other day that Juan should just do it,you know you want to,come to the right side of the aisle. He has moments of clarity then he’ll go and say something really stupid. I know if he came over to our side that wouldn’t happen anymore.

"I know people in OKC that still hate this guy!"

I'm one of them. His actions during hurricane Katrina did nothing to help, either.

Socialism seems to have begun as an “intellectual” path to something greater than capitalism. I just read a reference to the British Fabian Society which makes that clear. It appears that O’R and Geraldo want to be considered a cut above the average American (you know, those of us outside the cities clinging to our guns and Bibles) in order to join 0’s elitist crowd. (Membership limited to narcissists.)

"(Membership limited to narcissists.)"

Correction--Membership limited to really stupid narcissists. If Obama achieves his objective, do O'R and Geraldo really think they're going to survive the ensuing purge? Idiots.

Good! I hope the racist, Geraldo, is right. Down with communist health care.

Meh. All of us Obama-hating professionals are unemployed or transitioning to our relocated jobs in India at scaled down wages. There's no time to protest while we are dealing with our future.

I have more respect for Juan Williams than whoraldo.

Meh. I'm glad I do not watch US TV and have no idea who that Williams guy is and don't really know who Geraldo Rivera is either.

If he's that much of an idiot, there's an OFF switch attached to your TV, you know.
