While racist xenophobes like Rudy Giuliani, Scott Walker, Ted Cruz, Jeb Bush, Mike Huckabee, Mitch McConnell and John Boehner and self-hating xenophobes like Ben Carson may not realize it yet, there is a special place reserved for them in the Land of Eternal Torment.
You see, one day, many, many white people who have been duped by the anti-black coded messages that these and other Repugnican politicians throw out like swill to the swine may just come to their senses and condemn these demagogues for just what they are — greedy liars and swindlers who would just as soon see America burning in the pit of hell than see the black descendants of the enslaved Africans whose free labor made this country rich ever get the justice they truly deserve from this country.
And that sentiment goes double when it comes to the possibility that a black president of the United States might have led this country toward its salvation rather than its doom, the same way ending slavery saved the union 150-some-odd years ago.
Giuliani may very well be the worst of that GOP political lynch mob – at least he’s the worst this month.
Talk about the horror of Ferguson today. Giuliani was the mayor of New York when Amadou Diallo was gunned down by New York Police Department cops, shot 41 times in the vestibule of his apartment building, and when Abner Louima was sodomized by brutal cops inside an NYPD police precinct.
But, riding his high horse recently, Giuliani had the temerity to say: “I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country.” Besides not passing the obvious political “smell test,” Giuliani’s calumny is totally inconsistent with the facts, as far as patriotic upbringing is concerned.
Giuliani often cites his dad, Harold Giuliani, as his role model. Unlike President Barack Obama’s grandfather Stanley Dunham — the significant male in his life until he went away to college — who enlisted in the Army in 1942, the dark hours of World War II, and fought his way from Normandy Beach six weeks after D-Day, Harold Giuliani worked as a bat-swinging (I breakkayoulegg) muscleman for a Brooklyn loan sharking mob and was a convicted felon, serving time for robbing a milkman under the alias of Joseph Starrett.
When it came to World War II service, Harold Giuliani made certain that his draft board knew that he was in fact Joseph Starrett so that he would be ineligible for military service. Like father, like son. The younger Giuliani was able to obtain at least six draft deferments during the Vietnam War, including a letter from a judge for whom he was a clerk.
Giuliani estranged his own offspring, humiliating their mother by flaunting an affair with “his very good friend” Judith Nathan and then announcing that he was seeking a divorce from his wife, Donna Hanover, in a news conference. So, he’s correct when he says that he and Obama were not brought up the same way.
But way back on Sept. 25, 1883, Frederick Douglass explained why white politicians literally hate the thought of a successful, “squeaky clean” black man. “Though the colored man is no longer subject to barter and sale, he is surrounded by an adverse settlement which fetters all his movements,” Douglass wrote. “In his downward course he meets with no resistance, but his course upward is resented and resisted at every step of his progress.
“If he comes in ignorance, rags and wretchedness he conforms to the popular belief of his character, and in that character he is welcome; but if he shall come as a gentleman, a scholar and a statesman, he is hailed as a contradiction to the national faith concerning his race, and his coming is resented as impudence. In one case he may provoke contempt and derision, but in the other he is an affront to pride and provokes malice.”
So, in the whole world today, there is no major black leader alive except Obama, who remains untainted by scandal or even the hint of corruption.
Oh, he’s far from perfect, and he has political blood on his hands throughout Africa for his brutal takedown of Libya’s Col. Muammar Gaddafi, for the turmoil that has followed his downfall and for the chaos that continues in Syria thanks to U.S. intervention. But Obama has not been shamed by tales of interns sneaking into his office for hanky-panky with contractors or “honeys” in hotels.
And I guess that just makes folks like Giuliani, who should be the last person to throw the “first stone” at this president, just seethe with anger and envy until it just boils over in senseless, hateful tirades, as he must realize he will never reach the heights of the man he so readily and unfairly condemns.
Ending slavery did not save the Union. The federal troops capturing Richmond and forcing Lee to surrender saved the Union. Slavery did not end until after the Confederates laid down their arms.
OK then ....
The rhetoric of the progressive left is quickly turning itself into a cartoon caricature.
Stopping Slavery did not save the Union. Lincoln saved the Union by attacking and conquering the South.
Why would a muslim quote from the Bible to make a point? “cast the first stone”
For Rudy Giulianni to reach the heights that this despised poser of a president has reached,he would have to sink most of the way into the ground.
Douglas was talking about the attitude of this writer to people like Ben Carson.
Gott Strafe Obama.
.
And that entire administration.
Isn’t “self-hating xenophobe” an oxymoron?
O. M. G. Where in the heck did you dig up this drooling imbecile? Can’t string 2 coherent words together. Hateful little beach.
He enjoys cross dressing...
“So, in the whole world today, there is no major black leader alive except Obama, who remains untainted by scandal or even the hint of corruption.”
Methinks Mohammad is delusional.
