Giuliani’s Comments Part of a Complicated History on Race
New York Slimes ^ | 02/20/2015 | NYT Opinion

Posted on 02/21/2015 5:58:39 PM PST by E. Pluribus Unum

For those who first dialed into Rudolph W. Giuliani during his “America’s mayor” phase, right after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks — when he wowed the world with his civic leadership, soaring oratory and unifying largess — the former New York mayor’s racially charged comments about President Obama might seem puzzling.

Rudy never brought up race. They New York Slimes brought up race. The NYT is so dim they have to resort to saying any criticism of a black POTUS is racist because skin color trumps all.

Ah yes. All of a sudden, it’s all really complicated.

So complicated that Rudy Giuliani doesn’t even realize how complicated it all is. Even though he was the federal prosecutor who smashed the five families, and then was a successful Mayor of NYC for two terms. Even with all that, he still isn’t a complex enough thinker to understand all the layers of complexification that the NYT perceives in his simple, unambiguously expressed observation.

You’re right. Rudy never said a thing about race. I hate the Slimes.

Skin color trumps all because it’s all they’ve got. It’s the only argument they’ve got going for them. Unfortunately it’s just as bogus as the rest.

How are Rudy's remarks “racially charged”? He said that he wasn't sure that Obola loved this country.There are more than few residing here,almost all of them either affiliated with the Rat Party or supporters of it,who absolutely despise this country.And many of them aren't shy about openly admitting that.

If you criticize Our Glorious Leader about anything you are clearly racist because there is no other reason not to glorify his greatness.

Rudy said what should have been said years ago, certainly prior to the 2012 election. The Slimes and others are yelling “racism” because its the always default Liberal smear and it’s all they have.

“racially charged comments”
Like the Wash Post and Scott Walker,
with the NYT it’s: “All the S*** That Fits the Print”.

This is why I cancelled my week day newspapers.
I get a Sunday newspaper for the ads and coupons.
These people make murders of crows blush.
