Geraldo Rivera Calls Out Donald Trump on Canceling Hispanic Chamber Appearance: You had a deal.......
Geraldo Rivera to Trump on canceling Hispanic Chamber appearance: You had a deal
You made a deal. On my WABC radio show and elsewhere you reaffirmed your commitment to appear this week in Washington for a question and answer session with Javier Palomarez, president of the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce, who also appeared on the same radio show.
I applauded your agreement to appear at the chamber’s conference for several obvious reasons. It is Hispanic Heritage Month; your inflammatory view of Mexican immigrants; and your proposal to build the Great Wall of Trump along the southern border have obviously caused consternation in many Latino families.
I wanted and still hold a shred of hope that you will modify your harsh statements on the undocumented. You are not like Iowa Rep. Steve King who suggested all Latinos have big calves from carrying dope across the border. You are not Ann Coulter, a polemicist whose “Adios America” screed apparently infuses your thinking.
- Geraldo Rivera
Because of the respect and affection I have for you and your family, I also wanted you to have the opportunity to explain your stated desire to deport the 11 or more million undocumented immigrants now hiding in plain sight in the United States. Particularly, I was keen on hearing your defense of your proposal to deport the minor children of those immigrants, even if they are American citizens born in the USA. Part of that would necessarily have been an explanation of your stance that the 14th Amendment does not grant “birth right citizenship” to those born on American soil, even if their parents have been here for decades.
Obviously, as you pointed out when you announced you were canceling the Hispanic Chamber event, your appearance would have been huge (“yuuuge!”) bringing an attendance and ratings bonanza to the relatively low-profile but nevertheless legitimate and mainstream organization. But more than ratings, the substance of your scary proposals would have been aired in a context where the community most directly affected heard from you directly.
As the leading candidate for the Republican nomination, the fact that, if elected, you intend to disrupt the lives of so many millions of undocumented immigrants and their families needs to be explained to those people. The majority of them are law-abiding, hardworking, faith-based and long-standing residents, however undocumented.
Largely through your candidacy, “Immigration/illegal aliens” according to Gallup has become a “yuuge” issue for the nation. Back in June, just 6 percent of Americans said “immigration/illegal aliens” was “the most important problem facing this country today.” That number doubled to 12 percent in September, largely because you have made the issue front and center to your candidacy.
Many of the pundits you despise suggest that your candidacy is based on the fact that you are an “outsider.” I find that your most endearing quality, that, and the fact you are self-funding and promising to disrupt the cancerous grip lobbyists have on government. But given the Gallup survey showing that illegal immigration is the most important issue for so many, isn’t that what is fueling your popularity?
I wanted and still hold a shred of hope that you will modify your harsh statements on the undocumented. You are not like Iowa Rep. Steve King who suggested all Latinos have big calves from carrying dope across the border. You are not Ann Coulter, a polemicist whose “Adios America” screed apparently infuses your thinking.
You are our premier builder and the employer of thousands of Latinos. I’ve seen them myself in your various properties. I wanted you to say out loud at the Chamber that you will not go door-to-door to disrupt the lives of families that have made their communities better and stronger. I wanted you to say that you didn’t intend to slander a race of people when you made your initial remarks about rapists and drug dealers.
That is why I wanted to take you into the kitchen of a Mexican or Puerto Rican restaurant, so you could tell folks to their faces that you are an open-minded, deep thinking, color-blind creator of jobs and opportunity who was perhaps a bit exuberant in your initial remarks announcing your candidacy for the presidency.
But I fear that you have made a shrewd results-based calculation that Latinos are a vote that you do not need to win the Iowa caucuses or the New Hampshire or South Carolina primaries.
You may be right.
On the other hand, you may be providing a “yuuuge” incentive for Latinos to register and vote against you and the GOP in November 2016. You made and broke a deal with the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce. There is no Art in that Deal.

@MrPeterBart Talks Hedda Hopper--Chloe Louise Talks Bill O'Reilly
Why Hedda Hopper Belonged on the Journalist Blacklist
SNAP/REX SHUTTERSTOCK
The best news about Hedda Hopper is that few remember her. Hedda was a journalist (of sorts), who famously wore exotic hats and devoted herself to destroying the careers of anyone she identified as being communist, gay or otherwise reprehensible. Among her victims were Charlie Chaplin, DaltonTrumbo and numerous writers and artists caught up in the notorious blacklist era.
I met Hopper in the 1960s, when she scolded me for writing admiringly about Dalton Trumbo, the blacklisted screenwriter. Last week I was vividly reminded of Hopper’s dark rhetoric when I saw the compelling new film titled “Trumbo,’ in which she is portrayed in all her bristling nastiness by Helen Mirren.
Directed by Jay Roach, “Trumbo” superbly re-creates the political paranoia that gave rise to the congressional witch hunts, a dark era that ruined the lives of scores of artists, and revealed the hypocrisy of Hollywood’s studio hierarchy. Now, decades later, it is clear that it was all about nothing. There were a few avowed communists around, there were even communist cells, but at no time did an effective conspiracy take shape to contaminate Hollywood films with communist ideology.
In the film, Trumbo (played by Bryan Cranston) comes across as a brilliant but obstinate figure who led fellow writers in defying the witch hunters. After serving jail time, he spent years grinding out B-picture scripts and, later, writing studio films under fake names. It was not until 1960, thanks to the advocacy of Otto Preminger, Kirk Douglas and producer Edward Lewis, that he was aptly credited on “Spartacus” and “Exodus.”
The decision to credit Trumbo spurred threats of boycotts and demonstrations from self-styled patriotic groups, and Hopper kept hammering at the studios in her columns and on radio and TV. In the film, Mirren as Hopper threatens to ruin the careers of stars like Edward G. Robinson and Douglas. She also went after MGM’s Louis B. Mayer, who coined the expression “Hedda Hell.” Blacklist supporters like John Wayne and James Arness even co-starred in a film titled “Big Jim McLain,” playing investigators tracking down communist sympathizers.
By the mid-1960s when I left the New York Times to join Paramount, blacklisted writers were still struggling to get studio assignments, even though credit was no longer an issue. I decided to be both opportunistic and idealistic; here was a pool of talented writers available at reasonable rates.
Meeting with blacklisted writers was a challenge, however. These were men who loved writing and loved movies, but who had grown to hate the system. Even though I was a youthful newcomer to the studio structure, and was dispensing work, I represented a symbol of the hierarchy and, as such, was someone to distrust. Further, when the conversation merged into politics — and these were very political people — the dialogue quickly became antagonistic.
Not that I cared. I admired their talent, not their politics, and proceeded to hire a few of them. The work was not good. Even though they hated the studio system, they still instinctively wrote studio movies — old-fashioned studio movies. I soon moved on to younger writers, some of whom had never heard of the blacklist, but who understood that the movies of the ’60s were searching for a new sensibility.
I met Trumbo himself a couple of times and he, too, embodied that anger and distrust of the studios, but he also reflected a humanity and dedication to his craft — traits vividly reflected in Cranston’s extraordinary performance. Trumbo would have loved the movie.
But it would have ended up in Hedda Hell.

Seriously, this reminds me of Bill O'Reilly and his own personal brand of Catholic guilt and self-righteousness.....if we do not agree with Bill we are wrong.
Bill is a journalist of sorts, also.....he would like us to believe that but he is really not reporting the news.....there is no investigation about the falsehood of the recent claims about Planned Parenthood.

Talking about Bill O'Reilly and his recent rant on abortion, Planned Parenthood and federal funding.......
The last time I looked abortion and a woman's right to choose were legal in this country--fortunately.
Bill makes it sound as if someone wanting this medical procedure or in need of it are committing a crime......
But what I really do not understand is his outrage at the harvesting of fetal tissue.
Perhaps, Mr O'Reilly does not realize body parts, organs, tissues, eye tissue and bone are taken from folks everyday....in the case of kidneys this transplant can occur with living donor or sadly, with an individual that has passed.
The use of tissue in this country is legal and occurs on a frequent basis....or the tissue may end up as a specimen which is the usual scenario.
What would Mr. O'Reilly like us to do differently.....I have listened to him many times on this issue......I understand he is angry about abortion but what would he like us to do--how would he like us to handle the specimen--the tissue that is removed.
At the end of the day, nothing unusual, illegal or bad is taking place.
Yes, I love life and I love children and I am sad about any death, particularly that of a young person but O'Reilly is going O'Reilly over what I do not know but I think he would like us to believe we are wrong, committing a crime or sinning--we are bad people even though we are following the law.....not to mention helping others with the use of fetal tissue.....a heart transplant may fall into the same category. Someone may continue living who otherwise may not.
Chloe Louise says:
This reminds me of Bill O’Reilly and the problem is that a lot of good people can easily be swayed by his brand of the news, his brand of the “truth” and the worst thing of all–his brand of right and wrong.
