Morons on air. The missiles were old and outdated, not a stroke of strategic genius. Sheesh. Fox needs to fire this ridiculous jihad sympathizer.
Geraldo Rivera Scolded After Praising Iran ‘For Intentionally Missing U.S. Forces’
By DailyWire, January 8th, 2019:
Story continues below advertisementGeraldo Rivera of Fox News has been taking a beating on social media after he praised the Islamic Republic of Iran for “intentionally missing” its missile attacks on a U.S. air base in Iraq Tuesday night.
“Praise [Iran] for intentionally missing US forces they could easily have targeted last night. And praise too [President Donald Trump] for his restraint, in not tit-for-tatting with a counter-strike [versus] Iran in retaliation for their missiles. A war with Iran would be a loser for everyone,” Rivera tweeted on Wednesday.
Praise #Iran for intentionally missing US forces they could easily have targeted last night. And praise too @realDonaldTrump for his restraint, in not tit-for-tatting with a counter-strike vs Iran in retaliation for their missiles.
A war with Iran would be a loser for everyone.— Geraldo Rivera (@GeraldoRivera) January 8, 2020
People on social media took offense to Geraldo Rivera’s statement for praising both Iran and President Trump in the same breath. The backlash became so strong that the phrase “Praise Iran” began trending on Twitter.
“Praise Iran? We should Praise them for not slaughtering MORE Americans? Okay….? [Geraldo] praising a murderer because he killed less people than he could have should not be reason for Praise,” said one Twitter user.
“If you praise Iran for bombing our bases you have a screw loose, this was Iran not being suicidal enough to kill US troops because they knew how ferocious the hit back would be for it. Trump handled it perfectly. The US killed the most evil guy in Iran at nearly 0 cost thus far,” tweeted Robby Starbuck.

Rivera’s father was a Puerto Rican Catholic, and his mother was of Russian Jewish descent.
He was raised “mostly Jewish” and had a Bar Mitzvah ceremony.
WHAT IN THE WORLD DO WOMEN SEE IN HIM?
He is a creep!
…
Rivera has been married five times:
Linda Coblentz (1965–1969, divorced)
Edith Vonnegut (December 14, 1971 – 1975, divorced)
Sherryl Raymond (December 31, 1976 – 1984, divorced)
son: Gabriel Miguel (born July 1979)
C.C. (Cynthia Cruickshank) Dyer (July 11, 1987 – 2000, divorced)
children: daughter Isabella Holmes (born 1992) daughter Simone Cruickshank (born 1994). Six attempts at having children through IVF ended in miscarriage[
Erica Michelle Levy (since August 2003)
daughter: Sol Liliana (born 2005)
Rivera has admitted to having a multi-year affair until 1985 with Marian Javits,
wife of New York Senator Jacob K. Javits

Do what I do. As soon as a liberal starts speaking on Fox, l switch to Fox Business using my remote’s quick recall button.
Then when a liberal is on Fox Business, I just switch back to Fox News. Then I switch to Reba reruns as a last failsafe if a liberal is on both fox channels.
Been doing it since 2016.

You’re not alone.
Incidentally, I visited a relative in a nursing home this evening – and the TV menu did not have Fox News – just CNN.
So I tried – really tried to watch the Cuomo idiot, followed by the Gay Person-of-Color.
Now, have I emphasized that I really, really tried to watch CNN – because I couldn’t.
The commentary was so extraordinary in its dreary, stunted, virtue-signalling smugness, my eyes actually started crossing.
If captured by the enemy and forced to watch CNN, I would give up every military secret I knew.
Everyone has a breaking point.

True….but all the big corporations are so in bed with every bad actor…it’s becoming impossible to boycott one hydra head of their group…then move to another company that is some hidden subsidiary of the hydra……Someone once sent me a list longer than my arm of how many American and Foreign countries that Soros either owns or has controlling stock in….it was frightening….several of them stood out to me….HP. (my computer)..ammunition companies, and voting machine companies…and many bank holding companies….
I hope I live long enough to see him hang for sedition….or my favorite daydream is a Black Ops team drops down from a helicopter, snatches up him, his sons, and daughter never to be seen again…..followed by a persistent rumor that there are some new prisoners in a gulag in Sibera…..nameless.

Airports are under contract and paid to keep their monitors tuned to CNN. Same for a lot of hotel chains.
Best part is that they may be tuned to CNN but the sound is either too low to bother listening or turned off.

And even they are all suspect as the Left warps everything. just add a pinch of salt to everything that they say,
Isn’t it a shame to have to post that but we subscribed to Time and National Geo when I was a child and now only the latter is worth it, if only for the maps. While the re-editing of history has happened before my eyes and the History channel is far too dependent upon such as the BBC etc. Still it is better than most MSM trash if just so.

It seems that more and more the U.S. is like Canada, without a genuinely conservative news network or newspaper, so you endure imbeciles like Geraldo Rivera and a left-leaning liar like Juan Williams. Five minutes of listening to and watching Rivera is more than enough for any educated and sane individual, yet Fox keeps in its employ the intellectually sub-grade Geraldo who has a face that only a mother with eyesight problems and hearing issues can love. This man is just a really silly fool with scrambled eggs for a brain.

Iran, something to their credit, I do not think targeted the US for max casualties. There was specific damage to the air base. But, they had 4 out of 12 rockets fail in flight and the shot down the airliner. This is not how you fight a war with the US. Iran got lucky, so did Trump. as a war even a justifiable war would have ended his chances in 2020. Trump restored deterrence the Dems want to take it away….At some point we will be at war with Iran. They want the bomb and they will risk all to get it. After that the Saudis will buy one, Turkey wants one, Japan and Germany will follow. Maybe Israel will nuke Iran. That bomb that they so desperately want will not make them safer it will probably end it for them.

The slight damage done to those two bases would never justify an all out war. I believe the sloppiness and minimal damage was intentional. They really don’t want to mess with Trump but felt they had to retaliate.
I don’t think Iran wants a war with Trump. They know they won’t win with him. They don’t have the military power or strength we have. Iran is a a joke until they get nuclear weapons. Eventually they will.
North Korea has had a close relationship with Iran for decades as well as Russia.
Ultimately, China controls North Korea. Kim is impressed with wealth and Trump is tempting him
with that and a more prosperous country….. rather than being under the thumb of others. What has China, Russia or Iran done for North Korea?
As US, North Korea plan to meet, Iran warns against Trump deals

We all know the mad mullahs and their followers are zealots who cannot refrain from endless provocations and attacks. Trump knows this and is just waiting for an opportune time to take them out for good. He lulled Solomeni and the Iranian general staff into complacency and destroyed them without the loss of a single American soldier. He will wait patiently and do it again “so perfectly.”

The vitriolic response to Rivera is, from my perspective, quite disturbing. It is evidence that the divisiveness that has divided this country for the last three years is not limited only to the Democratic Party and Liberal Press, which I would concede started all that turmoil and continues to allow their ‘Trump syndrome’ to trigger more conduct that fuels the divisiveness that has become, at least in my mind, devastating to this country, but now includes those with more middle of the road views or conservative views. That is sad. We can no longer discuss things civilly, and that is very bad. To allow our differences of opinion to cause anyone to try to shout down others with different opinions is the height of inanity. Rivera’s opinions are worth listening to, even if one disagrees. He has no greater insight than you or I, but he is entitled to his opinion, which one is free to reject, but to accuse him of some of the vile descriptions I am seeing is awful. People, all of us need to get back to civility.
As to whether Iran actively chose to avoid further conflict by so-called purposely missing with its missiles also does not call for foul reactions . I would not trust those Islamic’s, and I expect our President , who recognizes they cannot be trusted, now backs any and all attempts to bring down the despots who control Iran today. I would support affirmative efforts to bring a change in the governing of Iran, as I see that as the only way they can be stopped from exporting their attempts to dominate and force their belief system on other faiths or non-believers.

No more vitriolic than what comes form his side of the fence. His sex life IMO is his business but his politics when public are open to criticism. Trying to be nice or fair to the enemy will never rid us of their lunacy. War is coming as the Left have no intention of stopping and will continue to brainwash our children in Thickberg puppets. So let’s not be nice and fair with them as it is NEVER reciprocated and the high moral ground is always a cemetery.

In reality, the missiles fired on US troops were outdated pieces of junk. But no matter, Iran’s bogus mighty military couldn’t hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle.
