Morning Joe Rips Rudy, But No One Claims Obama Really Loves America
NewsBusters ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 02/20/2015 5:36:43 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest

Something striking on today's Morning Joe. On the one hand, there was complete consensus that—as a matter of politics—Rudy Giuliani made a huge mistake in claiming that President Obama doesn't love America. Panelists called his comments "stupid," "crazy," "tone deaf," even "racist."

But remarkably, there was one thing that no one said: that as a matter of substance Rudy was wrong. No one made the case that President Obama really does love America in the way most Americans do.

Why would you want to “fundamentally transform” something you love?

Everyone on Morning Joe rips Rudy but no one claims Obama really does love America. Ping to Today show list.

This is so ridiculous.

Its the epitome of self delusion and group think. Obama has done everything but blurt out his true feelings for this nation - Guiliani gave a solid explanation for his opinion, which was met not with any counterargument, but with stilted slogans and lots of emotion.

Do they expect all of us to completely suspend our critical thinking skills?

That’s what I’ve noticed. Everyone just launches assaults on Rudy, demands that Republicans denounce, and offer no retort. Rudy must have hit the mark.

What nailed it for me was 2008 while other candidates held their hand over their heart during the Pledge, Obama had both hands down.

All one needs to do is ask any outspoken liberal you know in your personal life. They will tell you they hate America. The only exceptions will be those representing the Democrat Party to the general public.

Levin got it right.

You CANNOT love something that you want to “FUNDAMENTALLY TRANSFORM”.

Words REALLY do mean things.

Joe claims that Obama ‘loves’ America and called out all Republicans to pronounce that they believe it.

Partially because THEY don't love America themselves, so they have no reference.

Huge kudos to Rudy. Has any POTUS ever been accused of not loving their country by another pol? He is bringing to the surface what many Americans feel, save the left sycophants.

o and his witch wife were brought up to HATE AMERICA never to love her or be proud of her. Guli you blew that statement big time. But then you are a RINO so you can’t help but find something positive to say about the MARXIST in Chief and his WITCH of a first woman.

Obama loves America the way a serial wife beater loves his wife. He’ll beat her, have self gratifying sex with her and then if she doesn’t cook him the right dinner at the right time, he’ll beat her some more. If she says anything to piss him off, he’ll beat her even more.

In the interim he spends his free time and money on strippers and hookers.

Yeah, Obama loves America just like that.

Better put a little ice on that, America.

“All one needs to do is ask any outspoken liberal you know in your personal life. They will tell you they hate America.”

I’ve tried this. They all claim that they LOVE America, but the Republicans have changed and ruined it.

Amazing to me. Gee, I thought Republicans never want change! Isn’t that the mantra? -No hope, no change... just the same old, same old...?

I saw that. Everyone is ripping Giuliani but no one can come up with any example of how Obama loves America because there is none, ZERO!

“Rudy must have hit the mark”

If you throw a rock into a herd of pigs, the one that squeals the loudest is likely the one you hit.

No one made the case that President Obama really does love America in the way most Americans do.

How could they possibly make the case that Obama loves America? It is quite obvious that he does not.

Consider that picture of Obama standing for the national anthem on the dais at a fund raising with the interlaced fingers of his hands in front of his crotch. Everyone else had their hand over their heart but not Obama.

When he first ran for office he never wore a flag pin until the press started noticing and it became a campaign issue.

Even when the Rev. Wright’s GD America sermon hit the headlines he would not denounce him.

It is plainly obvious that Obama is more like Rev. Wright than Ronald Reagan when it comes to loving his country.
