Facebook commenters witnessed the unbridled wrath of Geraldo Rivera on Monday when the Fox News contributor lashed out against certain users posting in his comments section.
On Friday, Rivera posted a brief note in support of President Obama’s executive order on immigration, which invited a torrent of hostile replies.
The series of comments included such phrases as “brown people,” “Moslems,” and “libtards,” with one commentor instructing the TV personality to “go back where you came from” (Rivera is Hispanic).
Rivera responded to his critics in a new post Monday morning. He noted that while most of the replies were appropiate and “spirited,” some were “hateful, ignorant and racist, even mentioning my family.”
Rivera concluded with a flourish: “I’m turning your posts over to Fox News and Facebook authorities because you little pieces of shit hiding in the shadows of your mother’s basement deserve no less,” he wrote.

Gee Geraldo, perhaps you should rethink working for a “news” organization which fosters such beliefs and encourages such discourse…
While I certainly see his point, he’s as much of an architect of the hatred and racism spewed at him as the rest of the talking meat puppets at Fox…so my sympathy is pretty tempered.
You reap what you sow, sir.
I find it hilarious Geraldo accurately used the old liberal trope against RWNJ’s “hiding in your mother’s basement” to describe his attackers.
That’s epic.
Indeed so.
Welcome back, JJ! Haven’t seen you around here in a while.
Sir, maybe now you can appreciate how black folks felt about your hoodie comment.
