Cherry pick? Just like the NYTimes? You're better than that.
I'm still re-reading and thinking about post # 22.
The similarities are frightening!
Are you able to see the pattern that is necessary to support rudy?
Anything that discredits him is:
-old
-out of context
- just a mean attack
However, things from the same time are used to bolster him. The claim of him cutting taxes are not provided in context of spending going up and his being against cutting other taxes.
If you want context, this quote fits in with his other actions on the first and 2nd amendment. That's why people are offended by it. If it was one isolated sentence in a stellar pro personal freedom career, people wouldn't give it much credence. But since it fits with his other past actions, it indicts him instead of exhonerating him.
Which was why it confused me when I saw that you posted this story with that headline. Perhaps you were hoping to have this make rudy look better, but it does just the opposite. It reveals him as being in favor of more governmental control of individual lives.
