Occupy Wall Street Protester Drops F-Bomb On Geraldo Rivera Live On Fox News

video
» 115 comments

In what appears retrospectively to be an inevitability, Geraldo Rivera‘s broadcast live from Zuccotti Park had its first “live” moment tonight, as a protester dropped an f-bomb after shouting at Rivera, “my goal is to occupy everywhere!”

The question prompting his response was a fairly innocent inquiry as to what the protester– dressed in a black and white outfit and matching fedora to give the Hipster Cop a run for his money– wanted out of the protests. His response? To “occupy everywhere,” because “a lot of people have been deeply and profoundly fucked by the system.” That’s as far as he got, anyway, before disappearing into the crowd amid shouts of displeasure from both protesters and Geraldo Rivera.

The protesters was immediately whisked away by both the crowd and Fox News handlers, one assumes. Rivera called the stunt “lame” and noted that the protesters had promised no such disruptive language to get on television, and after a commercial break, apologized once again for the language, expressing hope that the mishap would not mean the program would no longer be allowed to broadcast from Zuccotti Park. In between the apologies, however, there are a number of interviews worth catching, including one with a couple of young men in a beard competition (one of them explains the competition, while the other one seems exclusively capable of saying the words “this is preposterous!” over and over).

The live moment and Rivera’s apology via Fox News below:

    and might i add, *unfair* de-legitimizations

    The ignorant deserve what they get out of America. They will find soon enough that you have to be tough to be stupid. Not everybody like Darla should get rent controlled apartments in cushy San Francisco county USA.

    So f**king what?

    Some people use language in that manner. It’s not even close to the first time it’s happened on a live cable interview. In fact, I do remember President Bush (and a number of other people, both Dem and Rep) getting caught on tape using that same word, knowing well there were cameras around. Doesn’t matter what stripe you might be, it happens sometimes.

    Perhaps you could write a story about everything else that the guy said and maybe we could have some meaningful discourse about the merits of his message instead of one word.

    You clowns do an excellent job of legitimizing yourselves all without any outside help at all. Here, once again, is Darladoon. With all her handouts, she demands more; In her own words…Darladoon, folks:

    i make $50,000 at a good job, that i’ll never lose, which is about 5 blocks away

    our house/commune is enormous, with plenty of common areas, gigantic
    kitchen, organic garden, art studio, dry sauna, hot tub, solar panels, wi-fi

    we have some of the best parties/gatherings west of the mississippi, and
    i have famous friends in high places, thank you. 

    my power bill is almost non-existent. 

    hardly losing, especially considering i pay 1976-era rent in a city
    with the 2nd highest rents in the country.

    I see she’s working and appears to be living comfortably.  I don’t think I’d call any of that a handout. Rent control?  Cry me a river. Also, where’s she demanding more in that quote?

    Having a little trouble seeing the invisible dots you’re trying to get people to connect, Danielson.

  • NDanielson

    Rent control is government price control. You just need to read more Darla to see she is living quite well, where many would pay top dollar to live, and complaining that the taxpayers don’t give Americans like herself enough free stuff.

    I went to those protests. My father was a letter carrier for the USPS for 43 years. My mother was a schoolteacher in a private school [read: far less money than public school teacher with no protections]. I started working labor jobs when I was 12 – clearing land with a tractor. Now I have a masters degree and my brother is a Ph.D, with no help from anyone.

    Call me spoiled.

    Tell that to the 76-year-old woman who lives next door to me with no family who would be out on the street tomorrow without rent control laws. Tell it to her face that she shouldn’t be able to live in the place she’s been for 30 years because a few people inherited rent-controlled apartments.

    She’s the person the law was meant for. Some people take advantage. If you want to decry that person, decry her. Leave the law be.

    again with the victim?
    is there anything that you people can do on your own? do you have any original ideas? any experience not directly influenced by a ‘liberal’?
    geez…
    i feel sorry for you people–you have 2-3 lines..
    look at what they did on 911; liberals did it first; and look what they said about Bush..
    OGM–and what about YOU guys always talking about not going back in the past?
    you have nothing but the past–you have no vision or plan for progress–just deathm destruction, taxes and end-o-world crap…
    Obama cannot go back 3 years to a total meltown of the economy but you people still blame carter and clinton for crap?
    either you people are really shallow or really dense..
    or maybe both..

  • joe

    do i need to post the hate speech again from the tea party? do i need to post the people getting disability and social security attacking government entitlements?

    do we have  to again see the racist signs? anti gay crap?

     No. No one ever did that to the tea party. You’re correct.

    No one ever took a single word and pretended it was representative of the entire idea.

    Darladoon – If you’re not among those who are taking advantage, I’m sorry. But the law is for the elderly and those that have depended upon them. Outside of that, I have a problem with taking over such a place for luck of family connection. It’s not in the spirit of the law.

  • joe

    that would be like asking tea party protesters to give up their disability and get a job—

    actually—it is nothing like that at all—rent control is legal and protesting and walking around with banners while getting disabilty checks compaining about taxes–well i think that may be illegal…

    A new survey shows that Americans overwhelmingly support the self-styled
    Occupy Wall Street protests that not only have disrupted life in Lower
    Manhattan but also in Washington and cities and towns across the U.S.
    and in other nations. Some 59 percent of adults either completely agree
    or mostly agree with the protesters, while 31 percent mostly disagree or
    completely disagree; 10 percent of those surveyed didn’t know or
    refused to answer.

    This is absolutely the most asinine fight this clown has picked yet. (And there’s clearly a lot of competition for the honor.) 

    Every year corporations take advantage of BILLIONS of dollars in ridiculous tax loopholes that they’ve acquired through their massive lobbying efforts — and the rest of us have to pick up the bill. That’s one of the outrages that OWS is protesting. Has this jerk said one thing about them? Instead, he directs his bile at a clearly nice woman who’s been lucky enough to save a few dollars on rent because she worked within the system.  

    The Republican right’s sense of proportion is clearly out of whack and this guy is a perfect example of that. They rail against welfare cheats and people at the bottom rungs of society — who cost us relatively little — but are silent on the corporate welfare, which is where the really big bucks are.
