Rudy Giuliani gets the 2nd Amendment completely wrong in NRA speech [saved by a phone call]
Vanity ^ | ellery

Posted on 09/21/2007 10:12:36 PM PDT by ellery

Right before Giuliani took his "impromptu" call during the NRA speech, he was discussing the second amendment. However, when discussing the second amendment's language, he mistakenly began to paraphrase the fourth amendment instead! Then he answered the phone and changed the subject. Here's the transcript, followed by the video:

"After all the second amendment is a freedom every bit as important as the other freedoms in the first ten amendments. Just think of the language of it -- 'the people shall be secure' --let's see, this is my wife calling..."

(talks to and about his wife)

(then he resumes with a subject change) "...but the parking decision offers an excellent example..."

Giuliani forgetting the second amendment in his big NRA speech is a giant SNAFU. In the media attention over the call itself, let's see if this part of the story gets any mention.

Announcer: The Rudy Giuliani campaign was filmed before a live studio audience.

Bwahahaha.

Politicians seem to have a bad habit of forgetting the words of important Amendments of the the Constitution.

What's funny (or not, really) is that Giuliani has as much contempt for the fourth amendment as he does for the second. Why not mix them up -- he ignores both of them equally. Six of one...half-dozen of the other...

NRO was the first thing I thought of.

The Romney or Thompson campaign? ;-)

With all the lawsuits he has been involved in (on the wrong side of both issues), I’m really surprised that he mixed them up.
I wonder what kind of prosecutor he really was.

Are all presidential candidates this arrogant and condescending?

Well, yes...But, some are more arrogant and condescending than others. Giuliani believes he is one of the four or five most famous people in the entire nation.

God being the fifth or sixth, of course.

From NR today, looks like Hunter's report will be later.

The Quick Read on How The NRA Crowd Liked The Candidates

Basing my grades entirely on crowd reactions at today’s NRA “Celebration of American Values,” I’d grade McCain B+, Thompson A, Rudy B+, Huckabee A+. I will give Romney and Richardson C+s for their video presentations - they’re well done for what they are, but no video can command an audience’s attention the way a candidate in the flesh can. Duncan Hunter is scheduled to appear by video later today. Newt Gingrich is also expected to appear, in person, but unless he gets his $30 million by November, he’s not in.

And this is who, according to the media, is leading in the polls. What a joke!

Note all of the idiots cheering when he says, "It's my wife on the phone."

At least on the Geico ad the Caveman says, ". . . I'll put it on 'speaker.'"

The next time this happens, everyone ought to scream out, "Put her on speaker."

Rudy the RINO-RAT is one major egg sucking dog. .....just one more seditious left wing conservative fooling the sheeple for votes.

GOP better dump this POS now or lose their real conservative base when it counts.

I’d send it to both Hunter and Thompson. You know one of them would use it and most likely Thompson. Fred is on a roll when it comes to the 2nd Amendment right now.

Has anyone else noticed lately that Rootybots always start out by saying they are not necessarily for Rooty.

Cracks me up. They are the same personality type as Rooty!
