Geraldo Calls FNC's Bolling 'Gringo' for Correctly Pronouncing 'Nevada'

On this evening's O'Reilly Factor, Geraldo Rivera scolded guest host Eric Bolling for pronouncing the state of Nevada as Ne-VA-da. Condescendingly instructed Rivera: "It's a Spanish word, Ne-VAH-da. Gringo."

There's just one problem. When it comes to pronouncing the name of the state, and not the Spanish word, Bolling was right and Rivera was wrong: "The only acceptable pronunciation of the state is 'Nev-AD-a,' not 'Nev-AH-da.' Pronouncing the state’s name incorrectly can draw ire among residents."--Time magazine.

Geraldo...dumb ass...San Francisco...Los Angeles...San Jose...Washington DC...err..wait...Connecticut...Massachusetts...(for the lame those have native american pronuciations)

[Lurkinanloomin]

So if Mr. Rivers can throw around gringo, can I call him a spic?

[Iron Munro]

Geraldo is a racist.

No different than Obama.

He sees racism in others where it doesn’t really exist but cannot see it in himself.

He needs to check his own “privlege”.

[Celtic Conservative]

Geraldo Rivera: it’s pronounced “Jerry Rivers”.

It was my thought that FoxNews always lost stature by having this guy on.

There must be hundreds of decent Hispanic talking heads out there that could fit in nicely. This guy is a nut case.

[Ghost of Philip Marlowe]

Geraldo is a little bitch who has issues with being identified as a man.

That is why the little bitch is always trying to prove what a man he is.

Because inside, he knows he is just a little bitch.

And he knows that everyone knows he is just a little bitch.

When ever he shows up, I turn the tv over to a different station or turn it off. No need to ruin a very good tv.

[DoughtyOne]

Heraldo’s marbles...

[Bubba_Leroy]

Texas is pronounced TeXas not Tehas. Both Nevada and Texas are U.S. states, not Mexican states.

[SharpRightTurn]

I can’t believe Fox still has this old presstitute, Jerry Rivers, on. I wish Bolling had slugged him, called him “wetback” (after being called “Gringo”), and then asked to see his green card.

[onona]

That pretty much sums it up.

[Fzob]

Rivera was wrong:

At these point it hardly needs to be said.

[Farmer Dean]

Won’t hurt the tv.You’re blood pressure however........

“Texas is pronounced TeXas not Tehas. Both Nevada and Texas are U.S. states, not Mexican states.”

And in Texas the state tree is a pecan, pronounced with a short “e”. A Pee-can is what you put under the bed at night when you don’t have indoor plumbing.
