i mean, it just -- and this is why -- i was talking about geraldo rivera's ridiculous comment.o look away. again, they are just not sure what to make of this. obama's comments regarding martin seemed to free up conservatives and treat the story of a dead teenager as purely partisan one. it's where they feel comfortable, it's the contest between left and right and that's exactly why i think -- how the president's comments resonated so much. they really were so human and as a parent and not racial. just -- i mean, they are acknowledging the racial element of it, because how can you not? but anyway so -- >> you are not supposed to. awareness, unfortunately, in their mind benefits social forwardness. you know, that any time you bring up gay people or minorities or women in almost any setting, eventually, the public, because i think the vast majority of people are good start moving towards equality, towards more open hearted and open mindedness and they just don't want you to talk about it. they don't want you -- when you bring it up, it doesn't benefit them. you keep these things q

just like a suit and glasses can make geraldo rivera look like a journalist. (cheers and applause) >> stephen: i believe-- i believe, this is urgent. congress must pass strict hood-year control legislation. it is ter fewing to live in a country where you could walk into any wal-mart and buy a hoodie right off the rack. no background check. no seven day waiting period. now many parents, many parents keep their hoodies in an unlocked drawer where their kids can get at them. that is why my hoodies are hid then the back of my gun closet. plenty of room in there. because i keep my guns in my pocket in case anyone comes for my hoodies. and folks, fox news, the good people over at fox news aren't just talking the talk, they're also hiding the talk by hastily yanking the fox news hoodie from its on-line store. well, thank goodness they did that because their viewer kos have bought those hoodies and then formed a motorcycle gang. but folks, restrictive hoodie laws may not be enough. i have closely studied black people. everything from their family reunions to their chr

if that wasn't bad enough geraldo rivera. do people have to find some excuse for george zimmerman as if you have to make this case two sides, so on the one hand and on the other hand and that's what jer aldgieraldo rivera did. >> i have a different take, brian, on that. i believe george zimmerman, the overzealous neighborhood captain should be investigated to the fullest extent of the law. and if he is criminally lieable, he should be prosecuted, but i am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. i think that hoodies. >> no. no. no. >> is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman was. >> that's just like the judge who says denied -- and we have heard, just like the judge who would say. i'm sorry, money you are asking to be raped. you were just begging to be rape raped wearing a low-cut dress like that. yeah, honey. it's your clothes. that was an infitation to rape, just like geraldo rivera saying the hoodie. look. it is not the 450

geraldo rivera joins us live.to you. >> i'm going to throw a tantrum. >> steve: wouldn't be the first time. >> gretchen: you can't get away with it. you're older than two. >> steve: let's talk about this, it all startd about a week ago when rush limbaugh was describing sandra fluke using an inappropriate word. the president called her, weighed in on that. apparently the president won't weigh in. apparently bill maher, using inappropriate language when referring to women, especially sarah palin, it's been suggested he gave a million dollars to barak obama's super pac. they should give the money back. they're not going to. >> it's a whole bunch of stuff there. let me start with i think first of all, rush limbaugh should send a bouquet of roses to kirsten powers because she bailed him out n. doubt about it. if it wasn't for her, nobody have drawn the connection between the right and left and why not equal opportunity condemnation? i think she did a brilliant job. i had her on the radio. debating gloria allred who wou

who chased a young armed boy down the street and killed him are equally to blame for his death geraldo rivera is connivance to a time where. now as our regular viewers know we've been keeping close tabs on the n.y.p.d. as wide as surveillance of muslims all throughout the northeast for no other reason than being muslim and that's pissed off everybody from new jersey governor chris christie to civil libertarians obviously to the f.b.i. officials and it turns out that those aren't the only law abiding citizens that the n.y.p.d. was exacting all over the u.s. to monitor a new a.p. investigation is revealed of and why p.t. was spying on activists as far away as new orleans according to interviews and documents and april two thousand and eight and why p.t. sergeant attended the people's summit this is a protest a meeting of american canadian and mexican leaders in the big easy which was very menacing and of course the n.y.p.d. says the surveillance was all part of a threat assessment and he pinkies toward that it wasn't political now they should really just the ads of this and the organizers who w

they have not taken any responsibility for the consequences of this legislation and this morning geraldo rivera came out and said you know it's the same thing as a woman wearing a short dress should expect to get raped here's a role. i am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies i think the hoodie is as much responsibly for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman was. so what do you wear when it's raining and you know what what's what do you all think is going on here in sanford or carol in terms of the stand your ground law you spoke about earlier i think in this case even the drafters and the author of that law say that wouldn't apply in this case because actually zimmerman percy's was chasing her so i think that that issue is kind of off the table on that but that case but to take that although you know the number of justifiable homicides in the woods homicides for which people can't sue the gun manufacturers the n.r.a. or the gun seller wal-mart which were largest been sold in the united states has tripled since that

. >> i have to ask you because a lot of people are talking about this as well, geraldo rivera made someery controversial comments today and i'm going to read them, he said i am urging the parents of black and latino youngsters, particularly to not let their children go out wearing hoodies. i think the hoodie is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as george zimmerman is. what's your reaction to that? >> well, i think geraldo is very clearly missing the point here. it was not a hoodie that should be held accountable for what happened in florida. it's not a hoodie or anything anyone would wear that should actually spark this kind of violence and somehow or another distracting attention to something that even sylvester stallone wore in the rocky movies is absolutely outrageous. we have to focus on the real issues in front of us. what we have is a young man's life taken for no good reason by someone that appeared to be a stalker and delusional to the point that it would follow the series of 911 transcript calls. we see that there was a process or progress in this engagement of thi

geraldo rivera made some news, appeared on fox and friends. he said something about what trayvon martin was wearing at the time of the shooting. >> i am urging the parents of black and latino kids particularly to not let them children go out wearing hoodies. i think the hoodie is as much responsible for trayvon martin's death as the hoodie was. >> it's so ridiculous it's not even worth talking about. geraldo wearing a hoodie, bill belichick wears a hoodie that barely looks washed. so i don't think it's the clothes that makes somebody scary. it's the attitude of those in the clothes. >> hang on, eric. geraldo crime scene surveillance tapes. it almost appears like he's blaming the victim. >> there are also pictures of trayvon and people are saying that he's making the gang symbol and i think that a lot of people right now are trying to, you know, push trayvon in a direction that he -- that maybe isn't true and you can't ask him to defend himself. >> this story isn't over by a long shot. we've got to go. eric, thank you for joining us from florid

world's number one terrorist and that would be osama bin laden, but it kind of measured up to what geraldo rivera6 years ago with the al capone thing. but suspect this just so trivial reaching? they have nothing else, eugene? >> this is considerably less than the al capone video, actually. what you saw was a student at harvard law school embracing a professor at harvard law school, professor derek bell was, in fact the first tenured african-american professor at harvard law school and thus, off student associating with his professor. then this is -- you know, stop the presses. how can we stand for this? >> and of course, he said he gave a speech several weeks before that hug where he said that there was racism in america. can you believe that? >> no, i can't believe that. and ed, how could a guy who is the first black tenured professor at harvard law school, you know, why would he say there was racism? does it -- perhaps occurred to him that he is the first one and therefore, there might be some reason there hadn't been anybody before him in that position? but i guess that's not -- that's not rac

>> geraldo rivera says this -- >> parents, don't let your kids go out wearing these damn hoodies becauseuld attract the attention not only of the cops but of nut jobs apparently like this. >> since then he apologized but does he have a point there? >> you know, geraldo, time to drink the geritol. geraldo, why are we fakesated on the hoodie? >> why are we fixated on the hoodie? >> it's thug-like. you suck in your bottom lip, got your trousers down to your butt and all of a sudden you're acting big and bad. then you're acting like a thug. no one suggests trayvon martin was actsing that way. there was a sea of hoodies that day. no, zimmerman locked on trayvon because he was on a mission. trayvon didn't have to have a hoodie. he was going to take out trayvon. it had not al all to do with the hoodie. >> talk about photos. we have seen photos change over the last couple weeks. right? the first foet oaf george zimmerman was a mug shot from 20050. now a smiling picture. in a suit and tie. we have seen pictures of a very young trayvon martin and now you have a picture of a slightly older young ma
