1988. Geraldo on his namesake talk show with a segment that quickly dissolves into violence. Joining the skinheads on set is Roy Innis, Chairman of the Congress of Racial Equality and Rabbi A. Bruce Goldman president of the Center for Jewish Living.

"..do you not believe sir, that Adolf Hitler and the Nazis were heroes?"
...
"..yah, sure. They took up a struggle...in ten years they did, the National Socialist party in Germany did something that no one else has ever done..."

The segment, tense from the beginning, quickly dissolves after an audience question addressed to the racist skinheads: "If you have true belief in your convictions and your movement is as good and as powerful as you say it is, why are you afraid to let other people speak? Why are you not like other minorities and allow other people to pursue whatever happiness they find, in whatever religion they find, whatever color they happen to be, you don't let anybody answer a question.."

It is hard to imagine any other TV personality, news or otherwise, continuing the show with a broken nose. Geraldo Rivera does so.

The prelude and lead up to this confrontation is here:
