This video just makes me sick to my stomach. First, Geraldo plays this jerk’s voice-over garbage insulting the tea party members, saying that it was funny, and then tells the official from Freedomworks that this guy has ‘suffered’ for what he has done, portraying him in some light as a victim.
Having the hatemonger come on the show next, he basically just gives him a platform to do more of the same. He lightly challenges him on the hateful voice-mail and lets this guy go on and on about how racist the tea parties are and how evil Freedomworks really is.
I’m really getting sick of Geraldo and his cheap shots at the tea parties. He really needs to go work at MSNBC where that is an everyday occurrence.
UPDATE: I know Geraldo said this:
“You have not had a single, as far as I know, violent action related to the Tea Party activity. For all the bluster or energy or street theater, no one’s been hurt. They haven’t, you know, they’re not the bogeyman that maybe they have been portrayed by many.”
To me, this was good, but then he just let the guy go on and on and on and never really challenged him, even insinuating that he was blacklisted. This was a joke of an interview in my opinion and reeks of MSNBC.
