White House Hits Back At Giuliani

[DonViejo]

Source: TPM

White House spokesman Eric Schultz on Thursday dismissed former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani's (R) comment that President Obama doesn't love America.

During the president's flight to Chicago, Schultz told reporters that Giuliani used the same attack during his "fleeting 2007 run for the presidency."

On Wednesday night, when Giuliani commented on Obama's patriotism, he acknowledged that his statement was controversial.

"I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America," he said. Schultz said he agreed with Giuliani that it was a "horrible" statement to make about Obama.

1. Mr. '52 Buick Grille teeth rears his ugly head again.

This pantload must be entertaining the idea of running for the White House again.

8. I wish someone with a pair would make it necessary for a visit to the dentist.

9. Nothing a stake to the heart wouldn't cure

[adieu]

17. why wreck a perfectly good stake?

Just toss him in with a pile of trash and incinerate the whole thing.

[MADem]

18. OMG, separated at birth!!

I thought nothing could be worse than that combover...I was wrong!

[randys1]

27. I am surprised he doesnt have his own forum here at DU...

[kimbutgar]

2. You really have to love America especially after getting the abuse this President has received from

the likes of Ghoulini and his ilk.

This President has received so much disrespect and attacks he must love really really this country to stay with it. I would have been gone in 2012.

[bluestateguy]

3. Oh what mealy mouthed garbage

Call him what he is: a mafia connected thug.

Any American who criticizes the president while we have troops in the field is giving aid and comfort to the enemy.

[groundloop]

4. Mr. 911 actually made a statement without saying 911 ????

That's got to be a first.

[Ed Suspicious]

14. Looks like they buried the lead.

[ybbor]

30. That is exactly what I was thinking

I figured he had said "Obama 911 hates 911 America 911"

[Arkana]

5. How did the White House not say something like

"Are you sure that was Rudy? There was no mention of 9/11."

[calimary]

6. Well, please do tell us all, PRESIDENT giuliani, how you know so damn much.

I hope you wind up running some CON's campaign for president - what with the genius job YOU did on YOURS! You're the one who decided not to get into the brickbat business until the Florida primary, when presumably you could just parachute in from on high, unruffled by the rough play in the earlier primaries, and snatch the prize while the other miserable grubs down below were still mud-wrestling over the crumbs, and you wouldn't even have to get your lily-white hands dirty. And as usual, you miscalculated, and banked too much on your whole "a noun, a verb, and 9-11" thing.

And by the time we all got to the Florida primary, the decision had been made and the herd had been culled, and you were finished before you could even get dressed and emerge from the bedroom.

12. Brava calimary!

The was sweet~

[notadmblnd]

16. don't cha know- it takes a long time to pick out just the right dress for Presidenting

?v=0

[red dog 1]

24. Isn't that Ann Coulter? n/t

[notadmblnd]

25. No, that's rootytooti

dressed in his finest and that's "The Donald" with his head buried in his/her bosom.

[red dog 1]

26. Rudy in drag?

He should dress like that all the time..(He would get the LGBT vote!)

Reminds me of Gary Bussy in drag in "Under Siege"

[notadmblnd]

28. He's dressed in drag several times

a little too often to be able to call it -just a joke. Google Guiliani dressed as a woman, you will see several pictures.

[red dog 1]

29. Could Rudolph possibly be a woman trapped in a man's body?

Anything's possible..especially with right-wingers!

[notadmblnd]

31. Aint that the truth?

[vlyons]

7. It was worse than horrible, it was disgusting

and Giuliani is disgusting for saying it. And he knows better. He's not running for POTUS, so why did he say it? To get in the MSM news? Because today he has an excess of vitriol? He just can't get the slime out of his system fast enough, can he? I put him in the same category as Trump -- disgusting.

[olegramps]

10. Giulllani is disgusting. He is as rotten on the inside as on the outside.

[Rozlee]

11. Sour grapes.

He thought he had the Republican candidacy in his back pocket in 2008. The Republican establishment was on his side, and FOX news gushed over him, featuring him often and always introducing him as "America's mayor, Rudy Giuliani." Their anointed one crashed and burned spectacularly.

[pbmus]

13. Who the Fuck cares what Gholiani says ...nt

[candelista]

15. Two Minutes' Hate

I hope everyone in this thread had a good purging, and can now go back to serving the Inner Party with renewed vigor.

[emulatorloo]

19. if you believe the BS you're shoveling, why are you on DU?

[candelista]

33. It's fun to watch.

[pangaia]

20. Schuktz should have said, "Rudy, who? Said what? Who said that?

Never heard of him. next question."

[Enrique]

21. he did, kind of

he reminded everyone that Giuliani is a LOSER, that he ran for the presidency, something that everyone forgot, including me, because Rudy lost so badly.

[angrychair]

22. poor 9/11

Whats amatter ghouls, no more victims and first responders to step on to raise your profile? Working your way through toothless one-liners on a two-term president that gives as much thought to you as belly-button fuzz? Go haunt a graveyard ghoul and leave the grown-ups to talk.

[yurbud]

23. he must think he has a chance of getting the Republican nomination

[Cha]

32. Yay for Eric Schultz on ghouli.. "He also said that during his “fleeting 2007 run for the presidency

IOW.. LOSER!
