GERALDO EXPLODES: ‘You Little Pieces Of SH*T Hiding In 'Your Mother’s Basement’






Facebook commenters witnessed the unbridled wrath of Geraldo Rivera on Monday when the Fox News contributor lashed out against certain users posting in his comments section. On Friday, Rivera posted a brief note in support of President Obama's executive order on immigration, which invited a torrent of hostile replies. The series of comments included such phrases as "brown people," "Moslems," and "libtards," with one commentor instructing the TV personality to "go back where you came from" (Rivera is Hispanic).

Rivera responded to his critics in a new post Monday morning. He noted that while most of the replies were appropiate and "spirited," some were "hateful, ignorant and racist, even mentioning my family." Rivera concluded with a flourish: “I’m turning your posts over to Fox News and Facebook authorities because you little pieces of shit hiding in the shadows of your mother’s basement deserve no less," he wrote.

I remember watching that episode thinking we'd find something so mind-explodingly exciting in those vaults only to find a few empty bottles. One of the biggest busts on TV and pretty much ruined my opinion of Geraldo Rivera. I was a big fan of his until I watched that crazy show.

Those right wing dickheads who make up your fan base also hate you for who your ancestors were. Have a name that ends in "s," "z" or a vowel and you'll reap the whirlwind online whenever the subject of fair treatment for immigrants come up.

Are you getting it yet, Geraldo? The right wingers are not your friends.

to turn the posts over to Fox News. LOLOLOL. Just who in hell does he think stirred up the underbelly of the beast? Murdoch will probably have them framed in gold.

I think he may have to have a serious look in the mirror. No matter how much he spews the company line, no matter how much money he makes, no matter how much he supports the likes of people like Palin, he is and always will be a welfare leaching S* to them not worthy to shine their shoes. Those people that he works with, are working against him and his family by airing all the racist crap they can.

.....But on another note, this is the returning Karma of Geraldo's seeds coming back full circle. He should look no further than the 24 hour-around-the-clock cultivated FOX disciples of hate who may be leaving these crackpot messages. The shoe is on the other foot and directed squarely at Rivera for complimenting our black president on the immigration issue. Oh how quickly he has learned that these racist hate mongers will turn and divorce his ass into oblivion.

And I agree, there is absolutely no room for peddlers of racism, hate and threats against anyone no matter who they are, especially directing it against one's own family.



But Geraldo is a complete sh*thead.

I will try this....mahalo Cha!....
