did he teabag him afterward?
How lucky for him the cameras were there to film him doing it so he can get adulation by his audience. Shallow Mr. ‘Teabagger’.
NOT ONE MORE NICKEL TO THESE ANIMALS !
“It’s okay! It’s okay!”
WHAT THE HELL IS YOUR DEFINITION OF OK, COOPER?
If cooper had only know the kid watches Fox News, he would have been doing the same thing to the kid, ala cnn tactics!
PHOTO OP!!!!!
I hope they watch he doen’t fondle that kid!
Bush threw the brick that hit the kid… I have first hand account that Bush snuck down on Clinton’s jet in order to inflict more damag. He threw it because not enough blacks died after he had the levee’s bombed after Katrina.
so what happened to the camera the silver fox put down?
But would he do the same for U.S combat troops or would he claim journalistic immunity as to not pollute the story? I doubt it.
Ok this is horrible but I would worry about AIDS. Anderson got caught up in the moment but first responders always preach to stay away from the blood of others…especially in Haiti.
I’ll betcha Wolfie Blitzer threw the frikkin’ rock.
Sorry, but once again the media have gone completely over the top with their attempts at dramatization and faux-heroics. The situation was so dire that Cooper was the only person out of hundreds standing around picking their butts who could help…all while the camera man never stopped filming to pitch in. Get it all on tape! This’ll really boost the ratings!
If one more p.o.s. “celebrity” comes on tv to tell me how sad the situation is in Haiti and that I should give to their charity, and so forth, I am going to freak out. Who do these stupid, phony clowns think they are addressing? Who do they think they’re fooling or impressing with their inauthentic shows of deep concern? Do something truly worthwhile — off camera for a change, you vile narcissists.
Yes, not another dime. Unbelievable, the scumbag personalities and celebrities, and I might add, the businesses from the NHL and NBA to Google, preaching and beseeching us to send donations to Haiti when they NEVER once requested or donated even a care package to our own soldiers in Afghanistan and Iraq. Don’t fall for this baloney. We have already sent $100 million in tax money to Haiti, not to mention the amount of personnel and military. When does it end. Look at Japan how they deal with earthquakes and the aftermath. Send money to this corrupt country and you merely line the pockets of the crooks in power there.
Nothing better than attacking your fellow countryman during a time of national crisis. If a prog t a r d democrat did that to me it would be the last thing they did.
its apparent he never had any first aid training.,,,blatant attempt at, oh lok at me im saving someone.,then he couldnt get rid of the kid fast enough ,,,pathetic..he hosts the lowest rated tv show..he is a bottom feeder.
Holy crap, I clicked through to another video at CNN and this camera crew just happens to be going by when a rescue team needs a vehicle to take a victim to the hospital. They have a brand new truck, plastic still on the seats and they go hauling ass through the city. Lo and behold the city you see them drive through appears devoid of the utter devastation that they have been showing us.
Hey Anderson, be carefull of those bloodborn diseases. I see your not using gloves, crazy cause HIV is very plentiful there.
You didnt grab him to make yourself look good , Did You?
Or was the boy for later?
Your as bad as Geraldo
Why, in videos that are supposed to be disturbing, and where blood is visible, can we never see just where the wound is? The victims are always whisked away. Also, why does the blood always look like orange-red paint? Isn’t blood that is exposed to air dark crimson?
After seeing so many staged videos by the Palestinians and Iraqi Insurgents over the last eight years, I view any “dramatic footage” with a cynical eye.
Mr Pooper probably hit him on the head himself and then dragged him down the street to get it on camera.
Anderson Cooper is a brave and compassionate man. The evil comments some of you have written are deplorable.
If you have never seen innocent children die and then be buried in mass graves in a landfill (as these correspondents have seen this week), then you should shut up.
Save your judgment for those of us who live on more than $2 a day and waste our time typing criticisms (on our $1,000 computers) of others who have the balls to carry a wounded child to safety.
I’m disgusted and ashamed and praying for forgiveness for us all… we’re all in need of redemption. Lord, forgive us for we know not what we do.
Obviously AC is no first-responder/dosen’t know first aid.
wm January 18th, 2010 – 10:04 pm -> I agree.
“Listen up . . . .I’m going to go over there, grab one of those kids with blood on him, and carry him past the camera. Just follow my lead and whatever you do, keep rollin. . . let’s go. . .this is gonna be great”.
I just hope the kid didn’t catch anything!
LOL…If I was the cameraman I would told ACooper (bait him),’sorry didn’t catch it on film; camera malfunctioned just to see his reaction; bet he would have gotten PO’d. Photo Op-Yes! BTW–AC must be a big dumb ass…kept saying you are OK…first the kid is not OK…he fraking bleeding. In an emergency room, doctors don’t say you are OK 100x;they stop the bleeding first and then ask if you hurting elsewhere. AC to be worried of getting AIDS…hmm? On Wikipedia,…”Independent news media have reported that Cooper is gay,[22] and in May 2007, “Out” magazine ranked him second behind David Geffen in its list of the fifty “Most Powerful Gay Men and Women in America….”
the best part was when AC was carrying him, though he was standing on his own. He carried him from one trash heap to the another trash heap. The bigger Haitian had to get involved to stop the madness.
I can’t believe all you yahoos sitting on your fat butts in whatever woods you live in have the nerve to criticize someone who is there on the scene of an unparalleled disaster trying to let the world know what is going on so it can respond in full measure. You people are appalling, plain and simple. So far, JaySC, is the only commenter with any humanity.
Come on. What did he do that other couldn’t have done, especially those two guys who were with him? Oh that’s right, he HAD to get this on tape, while his cameraman was waiting to start filming. Give me a freakin’ break!
so they let pedophiles play with the kiddos in haiti?
Aw gee, give the guy a purple heart.
Good grief guys! Can’t we just recognize a fellow American doing the right thing? It doesn’t mean we have to ignore it when someone does the wrong thing (teabaggers, etc). But look at him, no hesitation, just got in there and tried to help. I am proud to call him one of ours, even if he does say things sometimes that are incredibly grating.
Sorry, but some of this just doesn’t add up. To RogerCfromSD, fresh arterial blood will be bright red, and even a relatively minor scalp wound will cause what appears to be an alarming amount of bleeding. The thing that disturbs me is that Cooper deposits the boy at a trash heap and then he’s left standing there stunned while the cameraman gets a good picture of him. He isn’t crying or in panic, but then Cooper begins this, “It’s OK,” business. The kid’s injury looks real to me, but Cooper’s behavior is so fake.
He is such a tool
HAH!! Looks like the Aussie media picked up on this slant too. Go to Liveleak and watch the Aussie reporter act like a rescued child is his!
RogerCfromsd
I recall during the “Tel Aviv blitz” during the gulf war the news reporter saying how bad it was, that everyone needed to be issued gas masks, With film rolling they filmed Israelis joking and grab-azzing when they saw the camera they got all serious looking and somber. What a bunch of tools!
And Clinton at Ron Browns funeral ,joking saw the camera and wiped a fake tear
asthedrivensnow, thank you for informing me about arterial blood. If it was in fact arterial blood, what the hell are they doing dragging this boy all over the place? And, wouldn’t he have been unconscious from blood loss by the time Cooper put him down?
It’s just one of those inconsistencies that these videos always seem to have.
Polly, want a cracker?
Good ole Anderson. Now he’ll get invited to a beer party at the WH.
I see that Nazis and racists are still alive and well and commenting on this site.
It’s so wonderful to see right wing Christian idiots vent. Whatever happened to love thy neighbor? I’m not sure that it is in the Bible, but can you ignore your neighbor if he is black and from another country? I suppose that all will be forgiven when you go to that stinking hole where you slobber over each other and kiss rattlesnakes this Sunday.
Still wearing the same tight tee shirt that he wore since he arrived.
He must have a suitcase full of ‘em. Not the best for 90 degree heat and humidity.
Sheesh…. Everyone stand back and let go of the bitterness for a second.
First, not a single person here knows any facts beyond what the camera caught. The story was about looting and concrete chunks being hurled about. After a deep breath ask yourself if it may be possible that Cooper watched what he considered to be an innocent kid get nailed by an errant throw and reacted in the moment… I fully realize that this is speculation but it is equally devoid of solid evidence as the accusations of a staged event.
Second, a man’s actions in situations like this are nearly impossible to predict. Cooper may be an inarticulate jackhole on a TV stage but a guy that reacts with actions when something happens in front of him. How many here have seen a car accident happen right in front of them and just driven right on by without checking to see if everybody is ok?
Look I happen to think that Cooper is an absolute twit when it comes to most of his broadcasts (except when he was the host of “The Mole”…. I miss that show). With that stated, I have worked with people that I do not respect as individuals but they have shown uncommon character in situations where other men find it acceptable to turn their gaze to avoid the scene.
Will CNN use this footage to boost their ratings? The sun rises in the East if I’m not mistaken. That doesn’t mean that Cooper staged the scene. It doesn’t mean that he didn’t either. What is clear is that the kid was hurt and the American in the crowd was the only one with the dangly bits to do something about it. I commend him for that.
Now back to your regularly scheduled ranting.
Wow. Thanks for posting this. Now I know better than to mess with Anderson Cooper. I mean, check it out–he beat the holy bejeezus out of that kid.
So what’s our exit strategy Mr President?
PUHLEEZ…what was the compulsion to CARRY the kid..he obviously could walk on his own..
and it CLEARLY looked like Cooper was coercing the kid to be carried and led away…
and I agree…..BUSH threw the brick…BUSH caused the earthquake..BUSH is the reason aid is not getting
there in time…Ironic, during KATRINA, help not getting there in time was ALL Bush’s fault….here,
it’s BUREAUCRACY that is hindering the efforts…..guess Louisiana’s inept
DEMOCRATIC governor’s refusal of BUSH’s offer to preposition National Guard troops
outside New Orleans before the storm had NOTHING to do with it…
Cooper/Olberman/Maddow/Matthews…does any more than 150 viewers watch these clowns any
anymore? CNN is “proud” to be last in ratings since it reports REAL news…
yeah, real CONTRIVED SHAMELESS PROMOTING news….
It’s impossible to help people who for decades have refused to help themselves. Wonder if Cooper had any open cuts on his arms or hands that came in contact with this kids blood?
JaySC, et el, if it was really a good and selfless deed, AC would never allow it to air. That little clip was not a live feed and had to go through all the editorial wickets before it was displayed to us sheep–including their goofy, grandstanding, spare the innocent children intro. But AC sent it along and CNN dutifully aired it. If that’s his notion of altruism then he’s getting all he deserves with the negative comments.
That’s how Anderson gets all his dates, but that kid is a little old for his taste.
i can’t believe how many jerks have posted here. you all need medical help.
I hate the guy as much as the next person but, until I hear otherwise, I’m going to assume that this is just the actions of a man who acted above and
beyond his job description. Kudos Cooper!!! Now stop being such a leftwing nut!!!
this will be miami in a year, so get use to it.billions of u.s. taxpayers money sent to haiti,and no emergency plans, or equipment in play?its not like they have hurricanes, and such? they speak french,so why is this only our problem?
