I hope he stays away from protesters with chairs. It never turns out well for him.

The news from Zuccotti Park over the last week and weekend has focused increasingly on the schisms and animosity within the group, but if there's one thing that keeps Occupy Wall Street protesters united better than just about anything else, it's their disdain for Geraldo Rivera. With the impending cold weather, the strain of sleeping rough, and the disagreements over how to manage the group's budget, tensions in Zuccotti Park are running high. There seems to be a rebellion brewing among the drumming group, and a prank on Sunday night where somebody told the Kitchen they'd been given an A grade by the city for sanitation (which they took seriously and cheered at first) did not go down well. "We are upset someone would play a joke with something so important to us," said Megan Hayes, a member of the food committee, via text. Then there was that guy who climbed the red thing, which organizers did not appreciate one bit. All in all, it was a pretty tough weekend at Occupy Wall Street. But then Geraldo Rivera came by, not to cover the protest but to host a segment on Baby Lisa, the infant missing in Missouri. As his appearances always do, that cameo got everybody in the park on the same page, with a crowd shouting him down and swearing at him, just like his last visit. It's a wonder the guy keeps coming back, but you've got to hand it to him for persistance.
Mediaite has the Fox News video, with Rivera and two experts talking about Baby Lisa on Sunday night. Skip to about 3:00 to hear the jeers pick up, and then watch the sea of middle fingers as the camera pans the crowd:
Occupiers chanted their "mic check" relay,

Finally, though, something the OWSers believe that I can get behind... hating (too strong a word, perhaps “despising”) Geraldo Rivera...
” Occupy Wall Street’s Great Unifier: Hating Geraldo Rivera “
The *Nation’s* Great Unifier: Hating Geraldo Rivera...
(That headline just cried out for ‘correction’...)
Why, I can hate Geraldo Rivera with one hand tied behind my back, standing on a balance beam, on one leg, while balancing a half-keg of beer on my head and reciting the Gettysburg Address... ...BACKWARDS.
In fact, hating Geraldo Rivera is SO easy, a CHILD can do it. My son isn't even ten years old yet and HE can already hate Geraldo Rivera with the passion of a thousand burning suns... THAT'S how easy it is.
I hope he stays away from protesters with chairs. It never turns out well for him.
If true then who possibly loves him besides him? This article makes hating him nearly universal.
Yeah, I am depressed to learn that I actually support OWS in this matter...
What a coincidence, I was doing the same thing the other day while I was hating Rivera. Great minds and all that;)

Think of it as the exception that proves the rule.
Occupy Wall Street is the 21st century version of Woodstock. Both were outgrowths of the Counter Culture Movement of the 1960s, the embodiment of which was not “Flower Children” but The Manson Family.
I hated Geraldo Rivera before it was a fashion statement!...

To: 2ndDivisionVetHating Geraldo is one of the few ideas that could really unite the country.
More evidence of racism on the part of OWS. They obviously hate Hispanics.
It is a matter of simple physics.
The Law of Equilibrium demands that in order to compensate for the enormous self-love, Jerry Rivers has for himself, the entire rest of the world must hate him.
Looks gay as hell!.....auditioning for the Village People?
Maybe his mom still likes him...
