Geraldo Rivera: Trayvon Martin's 'Hoodie Is As Much Responsible As Shooter

Josie said:
Geraldo and Shep Smith are definitely NOT right-wing.

And this stupid "fake news", "Faux News" crap is soooooo 2002. Get a new line....perhaps a more intelligent one?

But it's so damned accurate!

No it isn't. It's stupid. Just like people calling MSNBC "MSLSD" or CNN "Communist News Network". It only makes you look unintelligent.
 
Not a very good analogy, because Fox News isn't about news - it's about a right wing propaganda organization masquerading as a news organizaton. Which is why Faux News or Fake News are so deliciously appropriate. The fact that the head of Faux News - Roger Ailes - is a former high operative in the Republican Party and gives the organization its marching orders is merely one factor. The content of their programming is the other.

Let me see if I can connect the dots for you. Geraldo Rivera - really lameass comments and generally a douchebag. Who does he work for? Why, Faux News! See the connection? Geraldo is Faux's idea of Fair and Balanced.

seriously? Are you making this point as a serious point? Seriously? :doh I think you are obsessed over FOX News.


You didn't answer me either, What if he worked for MSNBC?
 
I guess I should take off my Texas A&M hoodie...
Wearing a hoodie didnt get the kid killed...an overzealous wannabe cop killed him. Hard time understanding how people see this whole situation as anything other than that. Interesting that Geraldo tweeted that his own kid was embarrassed (or was it ashamed) about his dads comments.

But he doesn't, does he? He works for the right wing propaganda machine known as Faux News. MSNBC has its faults, but not even they would be desparate enough to hire a clown like Rivera.

Do I obsess over Faux News? No. But they worry me, because they are a major right wing propaganda organization pretending to be a news organization, and lots of people like you believe them.

I just wonder how long and how many links did he have to google to find a picture of two guys with hoodies on backwards?

With the internet speed problems I am having?
Two seconds of a two word search.
Any more questions?
Wait till you see the next pictures I found with a two second search. lol

I hope during the presidental debate it comes up whether or not to make wearing hoodies illegal in our country.

If it was even brought up, it would be bone-headed.

Rivera is no einstein but MSNBC has Sharpton and Schultz, hardly esteemed intellectuals in their own right.

wearing a hoodie in a certain way can be intimidating and even suspicious, especially when engaged in certain behaviors or acting in certain ways.
I am sorry if you don't want to admit that.

Now this is going to be hard for some folks, and just to damn difficult for others.
Just keep in mind my above statement of a hoodie being worn a certain way and you should be fine.

Which of the following two pictures is intimidating to a regular person?
This one?

Or this one?

Probably would't wear it in Austin.

I definitely would advise against the wearing of this type of hooded sweatshirt:

Thats the problem. The police dept there were not going to sort it out until the public became inflamed. The police there acted as if it was a simple jaywalking case.

The police conducted a proper investigation.

You are not only obsessed, you are delusional, and hypocritical over fox news, and msnbc.

Gee, would this be one of those deflections I keep hearing about when people are losing arguments and decide to change the subject?

For a guy who never watches Faux News, you sure do defend them a lot. And deflect.
 
A black guy called into Ed Shultz yesterday and said he doesn't let his sons dress like gang bangers. He told them if you dress like a gangster people will think you are a gangster, that was Geraldos point, not that the kid had it coming.

That would be why the chief stood down, then.

The Police Chief, in a noble gesture, stood down / stepped aside, because he thought it was in the best interest at this time.
He still stands by the investigation.

Sarcasm aside that's actually a good point , if you dress like a KKK member people will assume you are a KKK member.

Except that I wear a sweatshirt with a hoodie during winter months in Houston, and so do a lot of my white friends. Nobody calls us thugs. Why is that? Racism, possibly?

So then, women should dress in potaote sacks to avoid being raped . . .

A hoodie does not the criminal make. If this idiotic shooter wasn't a racist to begin with; which the audio clip clearly shows: "F***king C****", and had the idiotic shooter listened to police dispatch and waited for a car, then that young man would still be alive wouldn't he.

If we didn't have rapists in this world women wouldn't have to be afraid at all would they.
 
Trayvon Martin is the Emmett Till of our generation. He is a black kid who was murdered for the SAME racial prejudices that got Till killed. He wasn't doing anything wrong. He didn't start any altercation. He didn't approach Zimmerman. It was the other way around. Anybody who even questions the innocense of Trayvon as an individual who had EVERY right to walk down the street without being approached by an asshole with a gun is either snorting coke or out of their racist ass little mind. What's worse is that people don't see this as a racial issue at all. Are people really this ****ing retarded? Okay, then the murders of whites in Congo weren't race related either. Let's just call them.... uh.... what's that word they're using on the media? Unfortunate events :).
