Geraldo’s ‘Rachel Maddow’ Moment W/ Sheriff Arpaio.
Storyballon.org ^

Posted on 03/29/2010 9:21:59 AM PDT by BradtotheBone

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 enforce immigration law. And again understanding that many of you disagree with me. I am delighted. It’s exactly, Joe, as I advocated in my latest book. I’m going to send you an autographed copy, “The Great Progression.” It was the right thing for the President to do to strip you of immigration enforcement jurisdiction. But, Sheriff Joe let me ask you right out. How do your cops decide who to card? Who to ask who’s a citizen and who is not of this country.

The rest of the interview follows the same vein of Maddow-style interviewing. You can watch the video by clicking the image below.

Geraldo takes the side of the Hispanic minority in all instances. If a Hispanic was caught red-handed raping little Anglo children, Geraldo would insist that the perp was the victim.

[Don’t insult sideshow barkers by lumping geraldo in with them.]

You’re right. Geraldo’s more like the two-headed pig.

You're right. When Americans have been murdered (some teenagers in one instance) in Mexico Geraldo claims they must have been traffickers.

FOX took FoxNews off of online streaming through the computer, so I no longer watch it.

I listen to WMAL out of Baltimroe, MD, mostly . . . Chris Plante, Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, and Mark Levin. Occasionally I listen to WSBA910 out of York, PA, in the PM because they have Michael Savage.

Fox is MEDIA first, Ratings first. They are no more fair and balanced than my dogs.

If I ever watched TV...or if I had cable, I would boycott this Geraldo guy.

Guess I'll have to settle for refusing to look him up on YouTube.

Actually there is no comparison between Maddow and Geraldo.

Maddow’s a much more of a man that Geraldo could ever be.

I have no idea why FOX retains a leftwing idealogue like him.

In a word, balance. They seem to think that they have to offset their midlle of the road to slightly right staff with at least one hard lefty!

Had to get up at 3;30 to take the wife to airport, or would’ve missed Geraldo. I thought the sheriff handled him nicely.

Jerry Rivers should have been charged with and convicted of treason when live, on international TV, he drew a map of where our troops were and where they were headed during the invasion of Iraq. He should have been executed for treason.

The man is scum.

I watched Geraldo cut his journalistic teeth. He was a twit then, and he’s a twit now. I don’t understand why FOX keeps him on unless they think it represents part of their “fair and balanced” broadcasting. If that’s the case, I’m thinking that liberals with a brain would be crying foul....oh, wait....liberals with a brain...now I see why he’s still there.

Geraldo tried to push his way through a bunch of miners here in West Virginia to impose his style of journalism on the widows of a miners during a cave-in. He got punched in the nose for his trouble, and left without his story.

I always wondered what the circumstances were around GR getting his fat nose flattened. As a native of West Virginia, this warms my heart.

Developing a ‘’profile’’ in police work, is one of the oldest tools of law enforcement, PC has put the practice under a cloud. PC is MAOS’ LITTLE RED BOOK STUFF.

So once again Geraldo proves he is no better than CNN’s leftist Sanchez, suppose now he will make Rick’s list. Neither of these so called reporters is for either poorer American citizens or us veterans. Here in Pennsylvania even our union construction workers are laid off work for a very long time now, and we have 424,000 of our own legal children in poverty. That is 15.4 percent of all the children in Pa. Our governor Fast Eddy Rendell’s little city of Philadelphia gave free child birth delivery to a minimum of 1,800 undocumented women in the twelve short months of 2008. At present the lowest estimate of illegal’s State-wide are 3.8 million. Over 60 percent of these illegal aliens are all high school drop outs. Another amnesty would bankrupt many States, and the amount of children who would be eligible for (SCHIP) States Children Health Insurance Program is staggering. Not including undocumented in Pa. there are 1,211,000 legal Pennsylvanian citizens without health insurance.

This area once was coal, garment, mills, shoe factories and steel sustaining our lives. The jobs are long gone, and the number of illegal’s have tripled. We have a high population of Nam vets & many elderly whose life, blood, & sweat built this county, and are now living on a meager $12,000 a year social security, no COLA increase, while paying over 3 thousand in taxes on their old home. Our property taxes were reassessed in this recession doubling many for 2009, and due now 2010 taxes increased another 15%. One elderly person living alone here is also paying over $350 on two different sewer bills, while rental properties harbor 9 to 12 adult illegal border jumpers. All of whom really contribute much to our inadequate sewage treatment facilities. Two County judges busted on federal corruption; they took bribes to send our kids to juvenile detention. A replacement judge sent to hear cases lasted about one week or until he tried to choke his wife. Our still head judge wiped out a few mailboxes on his way home from the bar and left the scene of the accident, but he is such a nice guy of course we all know he wasn’t over the legal driving limit. ALL democrats and that is not half the crap, court house employees, county commissioner same, school board members busted, sewer authority funds and other taxes stolen. Our County prison employees union, court won 17% pay raise was just put on hold until 2012, and unemployment is over 12%, while illegal border jumpers are still working 16 hours a day.

Though this particular region of Luzerne County, Pa. might be a bit more corrupt than most, I needed to mention it first so you can see why hometown people all over the United States of different sex, color, race, religions and politics are seeing Arizona’s Sheriff Arpaio as a true American hero. Just as the HOPE of many citizens elected President Obama… Sheriff Arpaio is giving HOPE to many, many citizens all over our Country.

Deportation would sure provide many jobs in every field of employment. While taxes have already greatly increased on the poor, they are only being used to the advantage of this “poor minority” of high school dropout border jumper’s. Our children of many colors are growing up lazy without proper work ethics unemployed because illegal border jumpers are doing the jobs we held at 15 years of age. As a lifelong Catholic here is one Catholic priest who is actually for us poorer hardworking legal citizens of all Color. It is a 10 minute video filmed next door to Pennsylvania in Harlem, N.Y. Every word is so true.

I’ll say 2 positive things about Geraldo’s show: Kimberly Guilfoyle has nice legs and Laurie Dhue is back. Now if they would just dump Geraldo...

Greta’s tabloid show is another...

I don't know if you have watched Greta recently, but her show has actually gotten quite good. The "tabloid" stuff is mostly gone, and she is reporting on mostly political stories. Some of the best reporting on Obamacare came from Greta.

Fox needs to keep it balanced, so they keep that Liberal idiot, along with others. Alan Colmes anyone? I am a Vietnam Vet and Geraldo was among that bunch that gave the returning Vets grief.
