I trust you already know about the hateful hoody comments made by Geraldo Rivera, regarding the murder of Trayvon Martin.  Predictably, other goose-steppers at Fox, the Republican Ministry of Propaganda, are falling into line.  Bill O\u2019Lielly is one example.  But you wont believe the hypocrisy on display here.<\/font><\/p>\n

\"26FauxHoodies\"On Friday, Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera sparked a backlash<\/a> when he seemingly blamed<\/a> Trayvon Martin for his own death, saying the Florida teen should not have gone outside wearing a hoodie. \u201cI think the hoodie is as much responsible for Trayvon Martin\u2019s death as George Zimmerman was,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Few came to Rivera\u2019s defense, including his own son<\/a>, who was ashamed of his father, according to Rivera himself. But on Friday night, Rivera finally found someone in his corner \u2014 Fox host Bill O\u2019Reilly.<\/p>\n

Appearing on The Factor that night, O\u2019Reilly said he agreed with Rivera, explaining that he faced a similar public outcry over a separate event in which people thought the host was blaming the victim. Saying they were both simply offering \u201ca cautionary tale,\u201d O\u2019Reilly said he and Rivera were doing the \u201cexact same thing\u201d and that \u201cyour advice was good advice, my advice was good advice.\u201d \u201cIf you dress like a wannabe gangster, some knucklehead is going to take you at your word<\/strong>,\u201d Rivera added.
