To mark the 40th anniversary of Charles Manson's capture and year of terror, Geraldo Rivera re-broadcast a rare 1988 interview with Manson during which Geraldo berates the murderer as an "evil" man. The two spend a lot of time arguing and Manson sounds as crazy as he looks as he bounces around the room.

This indicates that Fox News is aware that one does not have to pull the trigger to be culpable for the crime.

Odd, considering the actions of their "entertainers" as of late.

Manson would fit right in with the teabaggers and town hall brownshirts. Interviewing him is like listening to Oliver North or worse. It's so absurd to feature him as a bogeyman to be feared, while those who perped Contra wars and Helter Skelter worldwide aren't even imprisoned. Rev. Bookburn - Radio Volta

Headline: Still Crazy After All These Years!

Ah. Don't you know if Manson were a free man, he'd be heading up one of these birther/healthcare movements?

[hypnus]

Governor of Alaska.

Seniormost aide to Dick Cheney.

Who commanded that "interview"? Manson 100%. I don't like the guy, but the can think and speak circles around Geraldo, who did nothing but attempt to bait him.

Out-thinking Geraldo is not a particularly impressive feat. His mustache has a higher IQ than he does

[James Markopoulos]

Indeed, his lets the mustache do all the acting.

That young Manson reminds me of Dennis Miller.

[DodgerFan1988]

LOL!
Geraldo: You're a murdering dog, Charlie.
Manson: Ah, I'm a terrible dog I'm a fiend.
Geraldo: A mass-mudering dog.

OK Jeraldo- Manson is old news....where's the interview of Dr Tiller's beastly devilish killer?

[reuscel]

Geraldo is to journalism what Heidi Montag is to music.

[jeffhrsn]

Heidi Montag!? Let's try even lower!

[scottarino]

Charlie......too persuasive.............must fight his...mind control............he's too smart for ...me...........must ....follow his.....teachings..........

[valhalladad]

Geraldo's ratings must be slipping. What little he had anyway. When they start trotting out 'scary old Charlie' you know Al Capone's vault can't be far behind.

[Harrier]

Happy he's behind bars

There seems to be a remarkable resemblance to someone else we all know and love. The monumental self belief delivered with that southern drawl and self assured smirk. Perhaps W has a long lost twin.

[kappa08]

...ouch.

[Clarinetsaxist]

Manson is definitely more composed, and clever than W.

[Rendon76]

Charles Manson is more intelligent than Geraldo I'll tell you that.

[Natalie Buddo]

My footstool is more intelligent that Geraldo

[A Guinness]

All I can see here is two species of idiot.
