Geraldo: ‘Original Sin’ Is Wilson Politicizing Something Sacred, It’s ‘Absolutely Deplorable’

RUSH EXCERPT:

GERALDO: "I think that is slander, it’s so negative and un lengthfull to the climate of the country right now to make a charge like that first of all when I was growing up a civil rights attorney fighting the good fight, the civil rights movement and then into the anti- war movement in the early 70s, racism was a term that you preserve for someone truly who was a hateful person trying to divide on racial grounds, and in the interim it just seems to me whenever there is an argument, whenever someone gets blocked or there’s a person of color as I am one who gets in a jam the easiest thing to do is say the person is a racist and what’s happened as a result is that racist and race itch has lost all meaning. Now, what’s the difference between someone in the white House and somebody carrying a ti ki torch or a KKK shrowd? Withins you eliminate that distinction you have made meaningless expression it is for the intellectually lazy and it is the slander of last resort and I totally lament it. Congresswoman Wilson politicized something that should have been sacred. That is the original sin in this the fact she happens to be African American has nothing to do with this controversy. And to then to drag in the gold star families where we have to now live through their anguish and their pain and their suffering, I just think that this is absolutely deplorable. "
