Giuliani Remarks on Obama Anger Democrats at Gathering.

[elleng]

Representative Debbie Wasserman Schultz, the chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, hit back at remarks by Rudolph W. Giuliani, the former New York mayor, who said on Wednesday night that “I do not believe that the president loves America.”

Ms. Wasserman Schultz challenged potential Republican presidential candidates to denounce Mr. Giuliani’s remarks and said it was time for Republicans to end their personal attacks against the president.

“I rarely agreed with President Bush, but I never questioned his love of his country,” she said. “Now is the time to stop this kind of nonsense.”

1. Never forget that Goulianni is responsible for the deaths of many of NYC's finest

His insistence on placing police command in the World Trade was a monstrous mistake that he has never been held accountable for.

[Scuba]

2. Unlike DWS, I absolutely questioned Shrub's love of his country.

Let asshats like Rudy embarass themselves all they like.

[Erose999]

5. As did I. I never respected Shrubby one bit. I'd tell him to fuck off to his face.

[Enthusiast]

11. Precisely. She doesn't even recognize Dubya for the filthy pirate he is.

DWS has got to go.

[BrotherIvan]

22. Her choice of word was horrendous

Seems to be a habit.

[Blanks]

25. If Dubya REALLY loved this country, he would have continued to serve in some capacity...

Every other former president has some kind of project (including his father) that they use to help people. Carter is by far the best, and what does Dubya do?

Paint.

He doesn't love this country. They (whoever they are) approached him after he failed at yet another business and asked him if he wanted to be president.

I think people just say that Dubya loved this country so that they don't have to discuss him.

[Enrique]

3. this puts him in the class of Glenn Beck

remember he said Obama hates white people? They're just throwing stuff around, it's not like they have reputation for honesty or decency to worry about, they're clowns clowning.

[Fred Sanders]

4. I truly do not know why anyone should give a crap what this one trolling irrelevant fascist voice says??

Sure as hell Obama cares not a bit for trolls.

[Bluenorthwest]

7. Well Fred, not that you'd know or care about facts but at this point in the approach to the 08

Primaries, Rudy was considered by many to be the Republican front runner, the presumptive nominee. The fact that he is a leading figure in his Party is what's relevant.

[CrispyQ]

27. Because the media amplifies hateful voices like his & give them legitimacy. -nt

[Fred Sanders]

28. Of course they do. Cable news has turned into one big Troll Den. The Big Three networks are living not far away.

[libdem4life]

6. No fan of Wasserman Schultz, and this mealy mouth blip is why. He needed to be taken

to the political woodshed for such a stupid-ass remark. They keep doing it because no Democrat steps up and blasts them...like the Republicans are so good at.

[adieu]

8. What do you consider to be a "blast"?

Sure, DWS's retort was muted, and I have no problems going feral on the GOP talking points, but specifically, what would one say in reply?

[libdem4life]

9. That only a partisan hack with no message or no accomplishments of his own would stoop to

that unbelievable level of stupidity as to so label a President or any other public person. And anyone who was around at 9-11 knows this is surely not the man to be criticizing public policy of anyone.

That would be for starters. I don't to wallow in his muck any more.

[JaneyVee]

10. It was on twitter, only 140 characters allowed.

[libdem4life]

12. Maybe that's the extent of his thought process, too.

[aka-chmeee]

13. The only time Republicans say things like that is when one of them is elected president nt

[lobodons]

14. Nothing new here

Giuliani is just spewing typical ODS hate talking points. It riles up their base and keeps them frothing at the mouth.

[turbinetree]

15. FEES

Didn't Giuliani get speaking fees from some nefarious group that were labeled as muslim or something for $25,000 dollars in fees when he spoke before them when he was mayor shouldn't this be called into question about his patriotism

[The Wizard]

16. Rudy is a bigot

What's new?

[calimary]

23. And nothing more than a SORE LOSERMAN.

What I don't understand is why more of those on our side aren't hanging that around the necks of the CONS 24/7/365.

[C Moon]

17. It's very obvious that the people who don't love or care about the US are the GOP 1%'rs

It's all about them.
Giuliani is an idiot.

[spanone]

18. they sure as hell pissed me off.

[louis-t]

19. Keep it up, assholes.

It's like they want to fire up Democrats, just like they keep calling for a Holy War. They may get what they want in both cases.

[bigwillq]

20. Rudy is a fool.

I don't agree with Rudy's comments, but they didn't "anger" me. Nothing one can say about any politician could ever make me angry.

[bvar22]

24. I expect Republicans to act like Republicans,

just like I expect a snake to be a snake.
It is hard to get angry at a dog for acting like a dog.
I am never surprised by the ignorance or cravenness that spews from Republicans.

I DO get angry when the representatives in MY Party behave like Republicans,
or lobby for traditional Republican policy.
I expect better from OUR guys.
Anger always accompanies disappointment or betrayal,
as it should.

[aint_no_life_nowhere]

21. And Mr. Ghoul held up Ronald Reagan as an example of someone who loved America

"...As he did at the dinner on Wednesday, Giuliani pointed to the love former presidents like Ronald Reagan who saw America's problems as the "footnotes." Obama, Giuliani said, sees American problems as "the headline." ..."

Give me a President who doesn't say "God Bless America" every two seconds but who leaves America in better shape than when he came into office. Unlike Ronnie.

[CrispyQ]

26. Yesterday, Chris Matthews did a nice job of taking Giuliani to task.

Giuliani will never live down, "A noun, a verb & 9-1-1."

Love our veep!

[dembotoz]

29. i should FUCKING hope so

shout the bastard down
