Trying to explain his controversial comments that President Obama doesnt love America, Rudy Giuliani said Friday he believes the President has been influenced by communism and socialism.
Look, this man was brought up basically in a white family, so whatever he learned or didnt learn, I attribute this more to the influence of communism and socialism than to his race, Giuliani told the Daily News.
I dont (see) this President as being particularly a product of African-American society or something like that. He isnt, the former mayor added. Logically, think about his background. . . The ideas that are troubling me and are leading to this come from communists with whom he associated when he was 9 years old through family connections.
When Obama was 9, he was living in Indonesia with his mother and his stepfather. Giuliani said he was referencing Obamas grandfather having introduced him to Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party.
The former mayor also brought up Obamas relationship with quasi-communist community organizer Saul Alinsky and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
Giuliani, a 2008 presidential hopeful, set off a national firestorm when he told an exclusive gathering of conservatives, pols and media figures on Wednesday night, I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that this President loves America.
The former mayor also brought up Obamas relationship with 'quasi-communist' community organizer Saul Alinsky and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
He doesnt love you. He doesnt love me. He wasnt brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up: To love this country, Giuliani said of Obama at the Manhattan dinner, which was arranged for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker.

H may not be saying all we’d like to hear but he is speaking out clearly and bravely..
Pretty much my thoughts on Rudy, though I did hit him without mercy back then.
Sure am glad he cleared that one up for us. :)
I agree. And Occam's Razor says he's a Muslim.
But above all, I think he's a Narcissist...he is so in love with himself that nothing else matters if he doesn't get the credit, praise, adulation, adoration.
Pretty sad that it’s a former mayor, not a congressman, not a senator, not a journalist, to state the freakin’ obvious. They’re all a bunch of bought and paid for traitorous cowards.
Yep, me too. I was extremely hard on his liberal beliefs on family and marriage and homosexuality. And we should have been. We were right.
But then the doofuses ran McCain. McCain is just as liberal, only a liar about it. He didn’t fight and he was a weenie, war stories notwithstanding.
Might as well have had Giuliani.
As I recall, Giuliani was the frontrunner and so convinced of his money and inevitability (see Jeb) that he didn’t bother with grass roots and the early contests. He gambled everything on Florida and lost. As pointed out the GOP went RINO anyway. Rooty lost because of hubris not because he’s a liberal.
Places like Iowa and New Hampshire don’t have a recent record of being unfriendly to GOP liberals.
Brilliant succinct statement, bravo!
Rudi should keep saying more and more outrageous things until they figure it out and quit inviting him on to make him look bad.
But for 50 percent of the American people, maybe more, Liberalism is “Compassion”.
I forgot about his skipping IA and NH; they could have been good states for him, particularly NH.
I think I read that the first Mrs. McCain is a person of great honor.
For now he should stay on this message. It’s ringing true with people and the liberal establishment is cornered. They’ve tried various things to take him out since he made the comment and all have failed. The last one I saw claims he is a racist! Bwahahahaha. Really? They’re playing that card on Rudy?! Dumb! He will knock that down without breaking stride.
Here’s a challenge for all the journalists foaming at the mouth about Rudy’s comments. PROVE HIM WRONG. Break out Obambi’s college transcripts and let’s see how he self-identified.
Any journalist who were to get Obamas college records would be dead before they could publish them. This isn’t even conspiracy theory crazy talk anymore....
You have to pinch yourself - a Marxist radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshiped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently its considered impolite to say so. - Melanie Philips, The Spectator (UK) 10/14/08
Obama admitted his socialist/communist ties himself in his books. Nothing new there. The LIV’s basically can’t read or reason so here he is in term 2. God save the Republic.
