Geraldo Rivera, Ann Coulter (Fox News)

On “Hannity” Thursday night, Geraldo Rivera confronted both host Sean Hannity and fellow guest Ann Coulter on the subject of immigration, so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the conversation was quickly whipped into a maelstrom of bellowing cross-talk by all parties involved.

Coulter began by thanking Rivera for granting that there could be 30 million undocumented immigrants in the United States, even though he only did that for the sake of argument. “The true about immigration is always the same,” she said, “the lies are always different.”

“We are talking about a group of people who have no right to be here,” she said, adding “whether legal or illegal.” She didn’t clarify as to why legal immigrants have no right to be in America legally, but that’s neither here nor there, because Coulter’s more concerned with the fate of “native” Hispanics and African-Americans on government assistance. “Why are we bringing in people that we have to help?” she asked. “That’s meant for our poor people, and that includes Hispanic poor people, and black poor people. We have to care about our own.”

“Is the filibuster over?” Rivera asked. “Let me respond!” And respond he did, noting that rates of violent crimes in the two cities with the highest population of undocumented immigrants — New York and Los Angeles — are at historic lows.

“That means nothing!” Coulter interjected. “That’s not because of immigration!”

“If undocumented immigrants were more prone to commit crimes,” Rivera continued, “why would these cities be experiencing such relative freedom from violent crime. Compare that to Baltimore, Cleveland, Detroit, and other post-industrial cities, where there is a spike in terrible crime, where you should be concerned with violence, instead of singling out this population and ginning up this false fear.”

“Look, you’re talking about a correlation, not a causation. You’re not that stupid, Geraldo!” Coulter replied. “Crime goes down for a lot of reasons. We want immigrants to have crime rates lower than [those] of our most criminal population. You have got to stop talking about this as if we’re talking about Americans attacking Hispanics. No, we are talking about immigrants.”

“When you write a book that says ‘Adios America,’ you are ipso facto attacking Hispanics,” Rivera shot back. “Do you really believe the left is conspiring to make this a third-world hellhole? That it’s a conspiracy?”

“They’re winning elections now!” Coulter replied. “Obama wouldn’t have won elections but for for the post-1970’s immigration, which of course is Hispanic!”

“I remember when they said the same thing — the same thing! — about the Irish in the 19th Century,” Rivera responded.

“They were right!” Coulter shouted back. “Not only were they right, we were allowed to criticize the Irish!”

Fox News: The Difference Between Geraldo and O'Reilly

Geraldo Rivera: cute, unafraid and gets it

Official photographic portrait of US President...

Our beautiful President, Barack Obama, cute, cool and really funny

Bill O'Reilly: afraid and angry

Geraldo gets it........O'Reilly does not.

That's the major difference between Geraldo Rivera and Bill O'Reilly of Fox News.

Seriously, Geraldo tries to gets the facts out...the pertinent news items of the day and talk about it. Bill O'Reilly, daily gives his impression of the stories of the day and tries to call it news and then wonders why people do not go on his show.

Who would go on the The Factor just to listen to him shout--chin jutting out, fists clenched--the guest would have to shout him down to even give his side of things.

No, Bill, you are not always right.

Further more you are afraid and Geraldo Rivera is not.

Bill is afraid something will be different than he envisions--he is so scared his false premise will be challenged.

Geraldo Rivera of WABC AM Radio in New York and Fox News is not afraid of the caller.....Geraldo is not afraid of new information.

The take of The Ronnie Republic--news should be free and easy--the facts should be out there and easy to obtain--a price should not be paid for the information.

Radio, television, news, media, Internet--information that is easy and free to obtain for everyone--for people of all socioeconomic classes and all ages. This is the hallmark of a free nation.

Opinions are a good thing--we love to hear all the ideas--why one political philosophy is right or wrong......as long as it is identified as your idea and not fact.......again this is the difference between Geraldo and O'Reilly.

The citizens can hear all of the facts and individual ideas and then form their own preferences.....no one has to be afraid.

As Zeke Emanuel said.....Bill O'Reilly could use his popular podium to give out information but instead he uses it to spread fear for his own gain.

Our beautiful President, Barack Obama, was so hilarious yesterday when he voted--the guy in the booth next to him said, "Man, don't touch my girl."

President Obama took the cue and said....Let's go ahead and see if we can make him jealous........it was sooooooo funny.

This is what O'Reilly can't get.....President Obama identifies with the every day work-a-day citizen, not just people of color as O'Reilly tries to insinuate.

President Obama is cute and funny.....get over it O'Reilly....you're old and out and you shout!

Good job, Geraldo, for trying to always move forward and not spreading fear--for not being an angry old white man.

Geraldo Rivera: The caller said...You are a real good investigative reporter.....

The fact remains, at the end of the day, Geraldo Rivera is an excellent investigative reporter.

I think sometimes people forget that.

Geraldo's WABC on air radio partner, Noam Laden, also said it today.....you are doing a good job of trying to get the facts out there without creating panic......talking about the Ebola scare going on in our country right now and the guests Geraldo has had on his show........first a physician with the facts and then the officer who participated if fixing the catastrophe of Katrina in New Orleans...General Russell Honore.

Geraldo Rivera does favor President Obama in many ways but he would like to see a Czar in charge of the Ebola outbreak.

The caller reminded the listeners today that Texas was actually ranking 50th in the United States in terms of health care and that the CDC was a very worthy cause where financial cuts should not take place.

Last week Geraldo was impressive when he called out politician Duncan Hunter from San Diego County.....he had tried to say members of Isis had come through the southern border near San Diego into the United States.

Geraldo Rivera and Greta Van Susteran asked Ducan Hunter how will you verify these facts and he simply stated....I asked a member of the Border Patrol.

Geraldo told us...there was no way to back up these facts....it was simply false and a scare tactic of Duncan Hunter. The sad thing about this situation......it was later repeated on a San Diego radio station as fact......that is plain wrong....and it is wrong for an elected politician to use these ideas for his own gain.

Geraldo Rivera stated today and on many other occasions.....Drudge often uses scare tactics to make headlines.....the problem is that it trickles down and other commentators repeat these ideas as if it is fact.

Geraldo said this is so self-defeating.

From San Diego forever and recently in Wichita....this is an offensive statement from Duncan Hunter......the Border Patrol in San Diego do an excellent job. This protective group is dilligent and serious.

Written to Geraldo from the ronnie re....just recently I lived in Dulzura........just about 20 miles past San Diego on the way to the Tecate border. We had to go through a border patrol crossing every day.....it was extremely secure.....many, many armed personnel with dogs--these people were not playing. They were often going after people and going through cars and cargo trucks. Also, they were regularly parked all night at the end of our driveway in this rural area and there were also sensors in the ground. If anyone thinks the border patrol is not doing a serious job I challenge them to visit the area and see for themselves. Also, the border crossing on the freeway at San Ysidro is giant with a huge fence that is always patrolled which you often mention. The border patrol is all over the place in these areas.

Kudos to Geraldo Rivera for being one of the few news/talk jays that actually allows the veiwer to say their opinion.

No, I am saying he is a good person because he can take a disagreement and talk about it. Geraldo is not afraid of the caller.

San Diego radio update.......Chris Merrill going to evenings.

Also, noticed this trait with Chris Merrill of San Diego of KOGO radio 600 AM.......one of the few radio personalities that lets the person calling in talk. Also, he has varying views from his cohorts on the air. Merril is not afaraid of a caller with a disagreement.

In the long run it is a good show from both of these radio personalities.......

Asking the age old question......shall we form our own opinions or shall we only think what is shouted at us by Bill O'Reilly and then call it news.

Good job, Geraldo Rivera and Chris Merril for telling us all sides of the story.

It's good reporting and it is good news.

Geraldo Rivera: Giving a Voice to The Working Class

from the ronnie republic radio round-up........

It has to be said, for a conservative news/talk radio broadcast Geraldo Rivera gives a chance for the average working class individual to have a voice--to speak and be heard.

"I appreciate all of my calls today because they have been so thoughtful and heartfelt."

Seriously, this is unheard of in right wing radio and television news.

Good job to WABC Radio New York and Geraldo Rivera and his partner Noam Laden for letting the average guy get their ideas out there.

Well done.
