Geraldo Demands O’Reilly Stop Saying “Illegal Alien”

[Kevin in California]

Why? Because Mr. Rivera likens it to calling someone a “negro” or a “homosexual.”

[luvbach1]

When, how & why it [Negro} became considered a slur is something I can never grasp.

If yours was a serious question, and at the risk of being obvious, here's my serious answer. The word Negro, simply meaning black in Spanish and innocuous itself, finally [it took a while] came into disfavor because long ago a corruption of it resulted in the demeaning word "Nigger."

[dalereed]

Include Geraldo within the definition of ILLEGAL ALIEN and deport him!

[D Rider]

I agree with Geraldo. I prefer “undocumented criminal.”

[Salamander]

Someone with differently abled genitalia.

[4rcane]

i didn’t know homosexual was a derogatory term. I thought it was the scientific term. I guess if we use a term for too long the Left will want a face lift because they don’t like the negativity associate with it. Don’t like Liberals? Progressives. Before long Progressives will be considered derogatory

[Salamander]

Does the United Negro College Fund know this?

Should we sue them for racism?

[MasterGunner01]

How do we know that Jerry Rivers (aka Geraldo Rivera) is not an illegal alien? After all, he did change is name for a reason.

[saintgermaine]

And a pompous one at that, thinking that he is the next best thing to sliced bread.

[muir_redwoods]

Okay, okay “wetbacks” it is.

[television is just wrong]

omg, this is just ridiculous.

[SeminoleCounty]

Anyone calling Illegal Aliens “immigrants” is just insulting and slurring legal immigrants by lumping them with criminal Illegal Aliens.

We do not call shoplifters “customers” nor do we call bank robbers “depositors”......lets call Illegal Aliens by what they are.....they are not immigrants

[AdaGray]

They are both ass-clowns, but I think Geraldo has the edge Ted Baxter in that category.

[epluribus_2]

How bout foreign nationals and perverts?

[NEPA]

came into disfavor because long ago a corruption of it resulted in the demeaning word "Nigger."

True enough. Negro comes from Negroid, the proper terminology for the race (like Caucasoid or Mongoloid).

Negro and homosexual are proper terms and should be preferred over the PC term du jour.

[DuncanWaring]

“Nuevo Conquistadores”.

[bullfeather]

How about criminal invaders!

[ImNotLying]

I still just call them colored people, as per the association who represents them, the NAACP.

[cripplecreek]

I prefer turd burglar.

[RedMDer]

To stifle free speech, the Left will attempt to change the meaning of any words at their whim and the media will carry the message for them to as many as they can.

[A.A. Cunningham]

Gerry Rivers' greatest hit
