Geraldo calls his Facebook followers "pieces of shit," turns comments over to "FOX NEWS OFFICIALS"
One of my "red state friends" just posted this on his Facebook page. He's one of the "pieces of shit" Geraldo referred to. He's not happy about it.
Geraldo Rivera lashed out at his Facebook followers on Monday and said he is turning over some of their comments to Fox News officials and Facebook, citing them as inappropriate.
“Just checking some of your responses to my recent posts on the president's immigration action. Most are spirited, but within the normal boundaries of decent discourse. Some, however, are hateful, ignorant and racist, even mentioning my family,” the Fox News and radio host wrote on Facebook. “That is something I cannot abide. I'm turning your posts over to Fox News and Facebook authorities because you little pieces of sh-- hiding in the shadows of your mother's basement deserve no less.”
Last week, in several Facebook posts, Rivera applauded the president’s decision to issue executive actions that would shield millions of undocumented immigrants from deportation.
“Bravo Mr. President for having the courage or political will or for doing the hard cold political calculation finally to do the right thing for five million undocumented, but otherwise law-abiding immigrants,” Rivera wrote on Thursday. “These people have been demonized by hard-right-wingers who have found in them convenient scapegoats to blame for whatever ails us from ISIS to Ebola. They have been cynically exploited to serve as a wedge to divide Americans. Get over them. They are here and thanks to Barack Obama they are staying. And America is better because of it.”

WTF is Fox "News" going to do to these people? Lie to them until they die?
And Facebook will do what, exactly? Lock them for a day?
I'm glad Geraldo called them out for being racist idiots, but turning them over to Fox "News" and/or Facebook isn't much of a threat. He should turn them over to the Ferguson Police or a self-described security patrol in Florida - now that would be scary.
Seriously, what kinds of things must be said behind his back on a daily basis.
