Too-White Media Misses Most Racist Part Of Rudy Giuliani’s Anti-Obama Rant
Giuliani then went on a full-blown media blitz to defend the comments, and apparently explain that Obama was actually killed during the attacks of 9/11. On Friday, the White House responded to the attacks in the person of Press Secretary Joshua Earnest. Here’s what he said, followed by a transcript of what he was actually thinking…READ MORE

If every gop 2016 potus wannabe isn’t on the Sunday shows tomorrow morning then journalism is dead in the US. That’s who I want to hear from, 3 hours of cnn and this story was on every 15 min but I didn’t see the questioning any of them so far.

Our President has more class, intelligence and patriotism in his little finger that this 911 lying, 911 adulterous, 911 racist 911 thug son of a criminal has in his whole 911 body.

I don’t remember from where I heard this, but:
“Rudy Giuliani, a small man in search of a balcony.”

That is such a true comment

I saw it a long time ago, and got a kick out of it. (I think they had a photoshop).

Sad really
Trees, wayout, red robot won’t denounce this hateful rhetoric. They’re on here to make snide comments at the same time wanting respect. I say, if you can’t stand up to the hateful and menacing drumbeat of your extreme wing then how can I differentiate between them and the truly vile?
The Dixie chicks said they were ashamed of W and the right wing had a meltdown, Mr Obama is treated criminally and has been degraded to a point of illegitimacy and the silence by the defenders of the gop on here as been repugnant.

How our President has been so badly treated makes me think there must be something more that separates President Obama and bush other than political parties, I am not sure what that difference is, but I will give it some thought and get back to you.

Nice article. Way to mislead what he was saying. How you even came to that conclusion is beyond comprehension. Here let me help you out. He wasn’t literally saying 9/11/01 killed Obama. What Giuliani was saying is that he (Giuliani) had to deal with the attacks, real time. Had to live at ground 0 while they were happening. Not on TV and president Obama didn’t. Kinda like comparing seeing someone robbed at gun point vs being robbed at gun point. We see people robbed all the time on the news all the time. But when YOU LIVE THROUGH IT. It’s a completely different experience and perspective.

I’m a New Yorker, born here and very proud of my city. Watching scumbags kill my fellow NYer’s was a knife in my heart….but Obama wasn’t President during 9-11.
He wasn’t responsible for anything.
I’ll bet money, however, that since Obama IS a Human Being he also felt horrible watching people being attacked. Insinuating that he doesn’t have empathy is just ridiculous.
You could claim cheney doesn’t have empathy and THAT would make sense. There’s evidence for that. Just listen to that bastard talk about torture

“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America.” << Your words, "Mr. America's Mayor" [tsk, tsk!]! Oh Yeah, Rudy; you were so-oo right, that "This WAS a horrible thing to say, and actually, a very 'STUPID ONE'!!! How dare you make completely unfounded 'insinuations' such as this, about our (not just once, but twice) duly elected President! FYI, rude one, our President probably 'Loves America' more than you ever did… as he is NOT a self-absorbed, arrogant, bigoted racist, like you are, and always have been, Guiliani!! He cares about people and what is happening to them, and is busy trying to do something about their 'plights in their lives" — and what are you doing, Guiliani??? You're getting behind every microphone that you can find that is willing to let you make a 'fool of yourself' by making idiotic, and untrue insults toward (yours and mine…OURS, in other words) Commander in Chief, that was absolutely the most unbelievable, and disrespectful aspersion you could "think up" to say against him, just so you could "make a stir" and get quoted in the media, and "use your own hatred and disrespect" to 'worm' yourself into the headlines (mainly because) you know that the people have forgotten all about you… and you set yourself up, so you could "ride the coattails" of whatever slander you could throw the President's way; and get your 'selfish-self' in the news again, by spouting these "off the wall" and unfounded remarks about him!! You should be ashamed, Guiliani, and should not even be allowed behind anyone's microphone, from now on!! You are a "bottom-feeding leper" now, and need to realize what you have 'become'… and just 'zip it' and stay home with that "infamous other woman" now… since that's what you wanted… now just STAY THERE with her… maybe she might still want you around (note: MAYBE is the operative word here)… but WE DON'T!!! :-O
