NB:
In a Saturday morning appearance on Fox & Friends, Geraldo Rivera, who interviewed Fidel Castro in 1977 when he worked at ABC News, mostly defended the Cuban dictator whose death was announced Friday night.
Rivera, while admitting earlier in the five-minute segment that “Communism stinks, we all know that,” and that “Communism cannot compete with capitalism,” nevertheless insisted in the segment’s second half that the “all awful” view of Castro is “simplistic,” and that “he will be remembered fondly” by the Cuban people.
Rivera’s most ignorant claim in the segment’s first half (full version here) was his prediction that “(President Barack) Obama’s outreach to Cuba” will help “the legacy of Castro to crumble.”
SNIP: Here is a Geraldo-doing-stupid-things flashback.
It is simply amazing that ANYONE would pay this idiot a salary.
Hey geraldoo, found Capone’ s buried treasure yet? 🙄
Why does FOX employ this liberal moron?
It is true, Castro will be remembered fondly – but only by people who never knew him.
The immortal words of Will Penny:
Will Penny: That’s always the way, ain’t it?
Alex: What’s always the way?
Will Penny: Let a man die, right away he’s “good old Claude,”
How was he “before” he bucked out?
The libs said the same of Stalin. Geraldo is a shithead.
What an irrelevant sack of shit.
Only lefty goofs will remember a dicktaster fondly.
Look, they’ve already started making T-shirts.

Those he imprisoned, tortured, and murdered weren’t available for comment.
Geraldo needs to have his nose smashed again.
….yet, after all this time, not one commitard has made just the slightest effort to move & bask in the wealth of Castro’s Workers Paradise ….
hmmmmmmmm …..
Whorealdo screws it up every time!!!
Maybe they’ll bury Castro in a 20 foot hole cuz Jerry sez deep down Castro’s a nice guy…
This dipshit is one of the reasons I can’t watch Fox any more.
I always figured that Geraldo was their sales strategy for the dunce demographic. There are millions of people with double-digit IQ’s and they need a spokesman, too.
@Jarhead, me too. Geraldo, Juan Williams and now Kelley. Got tired of muting or turning off Fox every time their faces were shown.
Lemme guess: Obama farted?
…because fondness for a murderous dictator is…complex.
@Claudia, I used to like Kelly before her head swelled, OR-maybe it was always that big and I finally noticed. Juan has become as tiresome as that idiot Alan Colmes.
Most of these people are seduced by the proximity to fame. But the evidence of Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s crimes are so evident, that you have to question everything these nattering nabobs of negativism say or report. One of these days the whole rotten system will collapse, and they still won’t tell the truth about Castro and Guevara.
Upon further consideration…
Fidel Castro
Deserves to be placed in the outhouse of history,
Where he can associate with others of his kind.
I can’t imagine a better time than juan williams and geraldo in a cage match – don’t let either of them out until they kill each other.
What’s in the safe, Geraldo?
I didn’t know Castro worked at ABC News.
The world is a small, tad more civil with the death of despicable Fidel. May be burn in Hell.
Geraldo (and Williams) are to Fox what the clap would be to a nun. A commie can kill, torture imprison as many as they want, but those who fight against them are hated, skewered, pilloried, and reviled by our media and all its Democrat buddies. Didn’t notice Rivera moving to the “Paradise Island”. Not too late. I agree with Claudia, can’t stand any of them, won’t watch them.
Famous Castro song:
“Geraldo is a friend of mine,
He will blow me any time,
For a nickle or a dime,
Twenty cents for overtime.”
Juanita is a friend of mine,
He will suck it anytime
For a nickle or a dime.
Forget the fuckin’ overtime.
Geraldo’s career should have been over when he put U.S. troops at risk and got kicked out of Iraq for it in 2003.
Talk about a maroon.

Geraldo was doing the Jackass show long before Johnny Knoxville came along, and picked that name for the show.
For an encore Geraldo can sail Castro to hell on his yacht Voyager, and provide personal comfort-girl services during the voyage.
Jerry, Jerry, Jerry … you never emigrated to Cuba, didja?
Put up or shut up, you festering pustule.
izlamo delenda est …
for the best history of Castro and Guevara, read Humberto Fontova’s books on Cuba.
Castro and his thugs stole a Caribbean capitalist paradise with the willing aid of the American mainstream media.
