(((((RUDY PING)))))
oh boy, more rudy pimping from deroy murdock!
funny, he doesn’t mention rudy’s support for the global warming agenda.
>These facts, however, pour yet another spade full of earth on the myth that Rudolph W. Giuliani is some sort of liberal.
I’ll see your spade full of Earth and raise you 2 dump trucks full of Earth (Guns & Dead Babies).
” Among 62 New York state residents who contracted West Nile encephalitis (brain swelling) that year, seven died. “
Why do you keep posting pro-liberal candidate propaganda on this conservative forum? Your efforts are not welcome.
They can screech “liberal” all the way to the inauguration!
But, showing again his nasty streak, and his apparent need to personally attack anybody who suggests he is doing something wrong, EVEN if they were just poisoned by his anti-nile-virus policy, he attacked the woman's story because she apparently got the TIME wrong of when she was sprayed.
From the New York Times, September of 2000: Giuliani Questions Account of Spraying
Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani acknowledged yesterday that a woman had been treated at an emergency room on Monday after she complained of being sprayed with a pesticide used to kill mosquitoes that spread the West Nile virus. But the mayor said there was ''obviously a discrepancy'' between the city's spraying schedule and the woman's account of when she was sprayed.
...
spraying in the area where the incident is said to have occurred did not begin until shortly before midnight last Sunday, at least an hour after the woman said she was sprayed.
Rudy is one tough hombre, attacking a street artist who was incapacitated by bug spray because she was off by an hour.
All of this is irrelevant. Last time I checked, he was now a Kyoto supporter.
Of course, he now praises the progressiveism of Arnold in pursuing governmental environmenal agendas and also agrees global warming is human caused.
Deroy, how DO you drink all that Kool-Aid and still not have to run to the bathroom? You must have a bladder the size of a cantelope.
Earth Day?
Sounds like a good reason to go to the range!
I forget which one, but I’m quite sure Rooty put either one of his many X wives or girlfriends in charge of that.
With a big salary I might add.
But in fact, the West Nile Virus outbreak in the United States started in New York City in 1999, and spread FROM THERE to the rest of the country.
"West Nile virus is a mosquito-borne flavivirus and human neuropathogen. Since the virus was recognized in New York City in 1999, it has spread rapidly across the United States, with human disease documented in 39 states and the District of Columbia. West Nile virus can cause a broad range of clinical syndromes, including fever, meningitis, encephalitis, and a flaccid paralysis characteristic of a poliomyelitis-like syndrome."
If Rudy had acted more quickly, maybe we would have stopped this thing before it got out of New York? I doubt it, but it makes as much sense as claiming that his reaction in 1999 was better than everybody else's, when he was the only mayor in 1999 who really had to do anything.
Further, I can find little evidence that any major metropolitan area refused to spray when they had an infection.
I know that we have had spraying in our country for some time, and while some environmentalists always complain, nobody takes them seriously when there is a serious medical problem.
Only a complete liberal would fail to treat for mosquitos in the face of this threat. Maybe that is why Deroy Murdock thinks it's such a big deal that Rudy did something, because it wasn't expected of him as a complete liberal?
Some links to "liberal" cities who had no problems with spraying when the New York City mosquito problem spread to their locations:
Chicago spraying Mosquitos to combat West Nile
San Diego County set to spray for West Nile
Prevention Key to attacking West Nile in Ohio
Sprays used in Mass. to combat West Nile(this is particularly pertinent, as this spraying was in Boston in July of 2000, which is the same time Rudy was supposedly the only mayor smart enough and strong enough to allow spraying in his city)
Philadelphia uses spray against West Nile Virus
I finally gave up searching for a "liberal city" that refused to spray for mosquitos when they had an actual outbreak of West Nile. I'll be interested to see if any Rudy supporters can find one.
There are a LOT of stories about groups fighting spraying, including a lawsuit that made it through the courts, but no cases where a major city gave in to the groups, or the groups won a court battle.
So I don't know where Deroy got the idea that a huge government program to spray for mosquitos was anathema to liberals, and proved Rudy was a conservative.
Rudy bump.
BTTT...
