Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani accused President Barack Obama of not loving his country. Some agreed with those comments; others thought they were silly and even a little offensive. When the former mayor went on to defend that assertion, he insisted that Obama’s personal background and progressives’ antipathy toward European colonial history generally informed his opinions on matters including Islamic radicalism and the moral value of the Crusades. Again, some thought these remarks were tasteless and unfounded while others believed that Giuliani had a point.
The press, predictably, fell all to one side of this controversy. Many in the media reacted as though Giuliani’s comments were an assault on the honor of the president and the country. The rush to condemn the former mayor in terms stronger than those of the last denouncer was stunning. For the political press, this affront demanded satisfaction.
MSNBC’s Steve Benen called the mayor “clownish.” The New Yorker’s Amy Davidson strongly implied that Giuliani was racist. Writing in The New York Daily News, Wayne Barrett noted that Giuliani secured a deferment allowing him to avoid service in the Vietnam War, and added that documents indicate his convict father and five uncles also managed to avoid service in World War II. Who’s the patriot now, huh?
And then a curious but familiar phenomenon occurred. The original comments exhausted of their news value and having squeezed every ounce of convincingly authentic outrage out of the story, the media went on to make this a two-day event by seeking reaction quotes. Every Republican worth his or her salt was soon expected to comment on remarks uttered by political figure who has not held elected office since 2001....

It sounds like the boy’s state controlled, commie “media” has “got his back” no matter what he does. Rudy Rules! I agree with everything Rudy said because it’s true.
Republicans fell for this long ago when democrats screamed that their patriotism was being questioned. There is nothing patriotic about leftists. Why republicans refuse to pound democrats for being leftist scum is beyond me. Because they are leftist scum.
Obama doesn’t have any honor.
Not one iota of honor at all.
He’s a friggin’ disgrace.
Thank you, Mr. Giuliani, for speaking the truth, a thing America needs a very large dose of.
honor?
really?
(where’s he been hiding it?)
Really, Giuliani, I have to admire him, he’s always done well in interviews I’ve heard him in. He is being a great American.
When moral compasses were handed down....Obama’s wasn’t magnetized.
A GOP bigwig finally brought it up. They are trying to stop it before it goes further.
Just saw this headline from CNN, but haven’t read the article yet:
Rudy Giuliani’s fall from America’s Mayor

Conservatives need to rally around him and thank him. We need to support people that speak the truth.
Thank you Mr. Giuliani! I applaud you!
We have a demon ruining our country. He actively supports evil because he is evil. Millions of people know this, and have so for a long time.
We will see what other prominent people are made of in the coming days. We will see if there are courageous people still left in this country.
Funny that a few weeks after Joan Rivers said O was gay and his lovely wife is a tranny she died on the operating room table. Surely just a coincidence...
I was going to post it but already had this wonderfully insightful column from the Michigan Chronicle:
Is Rudy Giuliani A Modern-Day Racist Who Doesn’t Know It?

Obama always gave me the impression that he HATED America and Americans.

He stuck up for Palin that time. I’m not sure if she has weighed in on this or if she needs to do so, but somewhat curious on her take.
