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. I’m not going to comment on what the president thinks or not. He can speak for himself as well,” Mr. Walker said on CNBC. “I’ll tell you, I love America, and I think there are plenty of people — Democrat, Republican, independent, everyone in between — who love this country.”
Mr. Walker likes to present himself as a man of courage, based on his record in Wisconsin, but maybe facing down public-sector unions doesn’t tell you all that much about the bravery of a Republican governor. On two occasions in recent days, he has proved himself incapable of saying basic truths that might offend some of his potential voters: First, that evolution is real, and second, that an honorable politician criticizes his opponent’s policies, not his patriotism.The N.Y Daily News
Rudy, Rudy, Rudy. What the hell’s gotten into you? Something awful.
Odiously, New York’s former mayor declared on Wednesday evening that Barack Obama is a President who loves neither the U.S. nor many of its people.
“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the President loves America,” Giuliani told a dinner featuring Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker, a potential Republican presidential contender.
Having descended into that deep, dark hole, where dismal people live, Giuliani continued: “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.”
It is impossible to say which is more appalling:
Giuliani’s willful ignorance of Obama’s heritage (his grandfather served in World War II while his grandmother worked on a B-29 assembly line); Giuliani’s division of the country into right-thinking Americans (Republicans) and unworthy others; or Giuliani’s sense that he had hit on a winning political tactic in poking the hornet’s nest of haters.
Rudy Giuliani loves America. But apparently he hates Barack Obama even more.If any more proof were needed, this episode forever marks "Noun, Verb, 9/11" Giuliani as a desperate, attention-seeking crank, and "Kochhead" Walker as a cipher and a coward.
BONUS: After having expressed little interest in an anti-union "right to work" law during his recent campaign, courageous Man of the Plutocrats "Kochhead" Walker now plans to sign just such a law being fast-tracked by the Republican legislature in
BONUS II: Wait, there's more "Kochhead" Walker "doesn't know": whether President Obama's a Christian. What a chickenshit. In less than a week, this plutocrat cipher has disqualified himself from serious presidential consideration, even by the low standards of his party.
