... At a private dinner Wednesday for Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a likely candidate for the 2016 GOP presidential nomination, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani said: “I do not believe that the president loves America. He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country.”

Mr. Giuliani has dived off the deep end before, so there was nothing all that surprising in his latest poison. But as Post columnist Dana Milbank points out, his remarks presented an early test of character for Mr. Walker, and Mr. Walker failed spectacularly. At the dinner, the governor said nothing. Even the next morning, having had a night to ponder, Mr. Walker chose not to lift himself out of the Giuliani sewer. “The mayor can speak for himself.

Ummm, are you a troll? And are you essentially telling me that you think Walker should NOT have reiterated/agreed with Rudy’s hard-hitting, honest anti-Obama comments?? Walker didn’t because he was afraid to (even though he surely agrees with Rudy’s priceless Obama shred).

Please don’t resort to ad-homs on me as I’m not trying to prove anything about myself. This isn’t about me or you. It’s about principles. Walker could have supported Rudy’s hard-hitting, honest anti-Obama comments rather than wishy-washy bs. that Walker uttered.
