Geraldo: Damn It, We Shouldn't Be Turning This Murder By An Illegal Immigrant Into A Story About An Illegal Immigrant
2018-08-25
[Hot Air] The debate he and Martha MacCallum have in the clip below was so predictable that MacCallum didn’t bother to bring on a right-wing opponent to have it out with him. Why bother? She could easily handle it herself. Every time an American citizen is killed by an illegal, intentionally or not, the conversation proceeds the same way. In sum:

Geraldo: This is a tragedy but we mustn’t blame the entire illegal population for the terrible acts of one monster.
MacCallum: I’m not blaming all of them. But the fact remains that Mollie Tibbetts’s death was avoidable because the killer shouldn’t have been here.

Geraldo: What about all the American citizens who murdered people this week?

MacCallum: Like it or not, those people had a right to be here. Tibbetts’s killer didn’t.

Geraldo: This is a murder story, not an immigration story!
MacCallum: He. Shouldn’t. Have. Been. Here.

#6  Jerry Rivers Geraldo Rivera and Juan Williams have become radicalized on the Fox Channel. As soon as the segment starts they are as predictable as a Baghdad Bob or a Tokyo Rose in what will come out of their mouths...
I just hit the *Mute* button when the camera switches to them. Not because of the viewpoint -- rather the sheer rambling inanity of their arguments.

#3  Run the substitution test:

we mustn’t blame the entire illegal population all gun owners for the terrible acts of one any one particular idiot who uses a gun to commit a violent crime.

Naaaah. No one would buy that...

#2  I remember people saying "if it saves one life"...

Border control lowers murder, disarming the law-abiding does not.

#1  He's right too - after all, Geraldo & co don't make stories about white racism every time a white kills a black.
