Playing the beleaguered "innocent" is just another damned troll ruse.
Florida go for Clark ( CLARK , who isn't even going to run, that Clark ? ), the Breck girl, Warner, or algore over Rudy? You neither know nor understand the first thing about politics, with that kind of statement.
You posted this thread because you HATE Giuliani; nothing more and nothing less; except to try to influence others and divide this site.
Here's a helpful hint for you........should you keep this up, through most of the primary season, or even earlier, you will NOT be a member of FR, come the presidential election.
What planet did that come from? Of course I know what DU is. I never suggested otherwise.
I'll make one last effort to try to put this in context for you. The media depict Giuliani as a hero of 9/11. In the USA, 2006, however, media images are often more spin than substance. The MSM are superficial to the nth degree. (I've been here long enough to know "MSM" as a derogatory term.) I raised the question whether this specific image -- Giuliani's reputation concerning terrorism -- is justified, or whether he's overrated.
In response, several people have explained their reasons for thinking that Giuliani does indeed deserve his media kudos for 9/11. I'm not convinced, but I appreciate their willingness to engage in a serious discussion of the pros and cons of a prominent politician's record with regard to terrorism. That seems well within FR's mission.
If you, on the other hand, feel that you best contribute to FR by insulting me and threatening me with a zot, well, that's your choice. Neither of us is likely to get very far in persuading the other.
