Boortz said that today the pro-Mubarak crowds are beating the squeeze out of anti government rioters.
naw it must be Bush vault.......
Maybe he has had his eyes opened a little bit now.
He should have done his report Thursday night, then they probably wouldn’t have beat him up...
Yeah, but I'm betting they didn't beat any sense into him!
I don’t like the idea of the man being hurt. He is an American, after all.
My guess is the pro-mubarek crowd knows that CNN is not on their side.
“How does Cooper, or anyone else besides the perps, know for a fact it was a pro-Mubarak mob?”
That’s easy . . . Before every punch (10 times in a row) they yelled out, “Here’s a pro-Mubarak punch.” Even I heard that . . . really!
Way to go FRANTZIE!
Post #1 removed. I hardly ever see that happen.
I am surprised they didn’t cut off his homo head.
Wow...not just the punches, the clanging echo could do some real damage too....
Punched 10 times in the head.. Both brain cells are expected to survive.
“Anderson Cooper Attacked by Mob in Egypt”
That’s a shame.
Sounds like a Whorealdo Rivera chair walloping redux.
He must have been hit by one of them there Born-Again Muslims. Or TEA partiers. Sarah Palin must have incited the violence.
I have doubts too...
These stupid morons should expect this when they drop their ass into a war zone. What an f’ing chucklehead!
Or for being a LOUD MOUTHED, PUSHY RICH AMERICAN REPORTER who thinks they are UNTOUCHABLE.
I think we should BAN American reporters from travel to a country in rebellion.
Tell the reporters they positively CANNOT go.
Geraldo, you can't go. It would be too dangerous for you.
Some of the bravest people I’ve known over the years are journalists and photogs (mostly free-lance) who cover wars, revolutions, coups and natural disasters. I’ve known them from all over the world and seldom agree with their personal politics. That never kept me from acknowledging and respecting their courage.
If Sarah had hit him ten times, he wouldn’t be doing the news for a while.
