August 23, 2007 -- A top ally to Republican front-runner Rudy Giuliani yesterday blasted Fred Thompson for attacking the former mayor - and New York City - before even declaring his candidacy for president.

"Run or keep your mouth shut!" snarled Guy Molinari, New York co-chairman for the Giuliani presidential campaign.

Rudy’s campaign needs to get a grip.....there are a lot of us not running in this campaign that are critizing him......so that’s against the rules now?

"He's not just attacking Rudy. He's attacking every resident of New York City," Molinari charged.

No hyperbole there at all..../s That's a GOOD ONE....LOL Where the heck did he come up with THAT one?

Sorry, Guy. He's attacking Guiliani and OTHER LIBERALS just like him.

When it comes to attacking Rudy's liberal positions (like gun grabbing), Rudy receives two types of attacks:

(1) EARNED, and

(2) DESERVED.

"I am tempted to say that was a good 'shot across our bow,' " a Thompson spokesman said yesterday, "but I'm afraid that same federal judge might go after those of us who manufacture out-of-state gun metaphors."

LOL. Great line.

I'm not a big Fred Thompson fan, because I don't know what to think about him just now. But he has every right to question Rudy's gun grabbing and illegal alien sanctuary tendancies, just like any other American writing letters to the editor.

To suggest otherwise is to put your self on record against the first ammendment. If Fred Thompson helps Rudy find his "maccaca moment", then he will have done this country a great service.

“He’s not just attacking Rudy. He’s attacking every resident of New York City,” Molinari charged.

The Guilliani campaign is not just attacking Thompson. They are attacking every conservative that supports the 2nd Amendment.

“If you want to bash people, jump into the pool. We’re waiting for you,”

I think Fred Thompson is NO dummy. He’s simply waiting for the pool to be cleaned of the scum.

Either way, he's a putz, just like Rudy-Tooty.

So, according to the Rudy gang, if you aren’t federally registered (as a candidate), you are not allowed to express politically critical speech?

Sounds like Rudy’s first amendment policies are right in line with his second amendment policies!

THAT is a great line!!!...lol

I also like the fact that Fred 'calls it as it is'---when he identifies Rudy as a 'big bully in New York City'.

On his blog, Thompson wrote, "There are a lot of things about the place I like, but New York gun laws don't fall in that category We need federalism to protect states from a big bully in New York City."

We do NOT need a LIBERAL BULLY to head our country and our Party.

Something worth thinking about:

"..."I have a serious problem with this guy. Is he running? Is he not running? Now he's going into attack mode even though he's not an announced candidate," said Molinari, a former congressman and Staten Island borough president.

Thompson - who had criticized Giuliani, Bloomberg and Brooklyn federal Judge Jack Weinstein for going after out-of-state gun dealers - laughed off Molinari's tirade.

"I am tempted to say that was a good 'shot across our bow,' " a Thompson spokesman said yesterday, "but I'm afraid that same federal judge might go after those of us who manufacture out-of-state gun metaphors."

The real question is whether Fred Thompson is simulating or dissimulating when he quasi runs but does not file as a candidate.

No, the REAL question is what are the people who post all these "is he running or isn't he?" comments going to do with all the new free time when Fred declares.

I sensed from reports I’ve read and seen that Rudy Julie Annie really has some low-life scum working with him. The only other candidate to come close is Hillary with the likes of Howard Wolfson (a real low-life, scum bag), Terry McCauliffe (who would cut his mother’s throat for a campaign dollar), Harold Ickes and the other likes of the mutant James Carville.

It seems like New York politicians think that they have to surround themselves with scum.

Why do Republican liberals get so huffy when people tell the truth about them? They should celebrate their liberalness. Come on Rudi, say it. “I want all your guns, you ignorant, redneck peons.” You’ll feel better, get out all that anger. Let that arrogant, progressive, condescension fly. You know you want to.

Well, if there was any doubt left, that sealed it. If Giuliani wins the primary, I won't be voting the presidential line at all.

Even if Hillary runs.

and so it starts.

“He’s not just attacking Rudy Guiliani. He’s (Thompson) attacking every resident of the city.”

A tad overstated.

Rudy sure fits a democrat profile!

IT is for the murder of unborn babies!
IT is a big gun control nut!
IT covered for the invaders in ITS city!
IT surrounded ITself with thugs!

Why does IT have an R by ITS name instead of a D?
