... 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 doesnt love you. And he doesnt love me. He wasnt 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. Im not going to comment on what the president thinks or not. He can speak for himself as well, ...

Sometimes the smartest thing to say is, “No comment.” Other times we have to stand tall and say exactly what is on our minds. True wisdom is knowing the difference. The left will try to sucker conservatives, such as Walker, into can’t win conversations. They’ll set them up, if they can. He is probably smart not to fall for it.
The WashPost that criticizes Obama on Ukraine.
Hypocrites.
“The Washington Post,.........Editorial Board”......
Nothing more needs to be said. Odumbo’s media lapdogs obviously fear Walker to no end and will do or say anything they can to paint a “black’ side to him. He must be a great candidate.
Black Liberation Theology is exactly what Obama holds to as well as the so called Rev. Wright.
If you wish to know what makes Obama tick I suggest you study up on Black Liberation Theology. It is a cancer to the U.S.A.
He’s not spineless but he punts a lot. It’s hard to win when you’re always punting.
“Actually, Walker was spineless from my perspective in that he didnt add to what Rudy started by reiterating Rudys points.”
Spineless? What bullsh*t. How about you prove to everyone here at FR what a heroic, conservative warrior you are.
To WAPO I say Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!!
Thank you. that Pulitzer will look nice on my mantel.
Giuliani sewer.

It appears that you, and some other FReepers, are missing the Compost's point.....
They are livid that Walker, given several chances, did not vilify Rudy for his words. In their minds, this equates to Walker agreeing with him.
Just because the POTUS comes from a radical leftist background, goes around the world constantly apologizing for his own country's history, and appoints people who also come form radical leftist backgrounds to prominent gov. positions is no reason to say Obama doesn't love his own country.(snicker)
The Guiliani sewer. What a crock! Rudy just said what the whole country thinks.
The Washington (sewer of the world, served from their knees by the Washington Post editorial staff who are owned bitches) Post issues their hit piece, trying desperately to get Republicans fighting among themselves over faux issues.
Don’t buy into the false assumption that this question was something other than a ‘gotcha’ question.
Walker recognized it for what it was, a question meant to trap him so they could berate him about it for weeks or even months over his answer.
Here is more from the WP article which explains why his non-answer was the correct one. Notice his dig at the reporter with a reference to a double standard.
++++
On Saturday, Walker suggested that he is being held to a different standard than some Democrats. Citing Teamsters President James Hoffas criticism of the tea party movement at an Obama rally in 2011, Walker wondered why the president has also not been asked by reporters about controversial comments made by figures who are prominent on the left.
Was it Jimmy Hoffa that ripped on the tea party and called them unpatriotic, and the president was standing there and nobody asked him that? Walker asked. To me, it seems Ive had multiple days of an incredible double standard. They dont ask the president about people like Jimmy Hoffa, they dont ask Hillary Clinton about others out there.
My focus isnt on what the mayor said, he continued, referring to Giuliani. My focus is on why I believe, should I choose to get in this election, why I believe we need a fighter.
“They must be very worried about Walker.”
You got it!
Walker astutely refuses to fall into a trap and the trap setters call it “spineless silence”. Go figure.
