I think the real question is for Giuliani:
- Loves America how, Rudy? Like you do only the white parts? The love that blames every black person for the crimes of a few black people, a standard you dont hold white people to?
- Not brought up the way you were? To what be racist? To trample peoples rights in the name of security?
Of course Giuliani isnt going to answer questions like that. His statements are dog-whistles to his audience about how Obama isnt like us, hes an outsider. Obama is black, we get it. Never mind that Obamas mother was every bit as white as Giulianis mother. Nope. Doesnt matter to Giuliani. And for that, Giuliani is the Asshole of the Day.

(36,392 posts)we'll have some sort of Rapid Response Team, and when one of these america-hating psychopaths shoots off his/her mouth, within a few hours an extremely pointed and unambiguous "message" is delivered. After few months of such responses, behavior will change noticeably.

More snow this weekend, depending on the area some rain mix. That's scary, it will make the snow heavy on the roof top. I have a lot of snow on one side, the ice dams on the west side of my apartment are bad. The icicles are huge and cover my window. I woke up to icicles between my storm window and inside window. ie leaks in the roof.
Truthfully, I am scared of the roof collapsing. The roof is my landlords problem. However I don't have rental insurance, could not afford it. Sigh~
Spring will only bring us more headaches, 95" of snow, where the hell is the water going to go?
Kinda scarey, Cha and my heating bill nearly stopped my heart.

(297,280 posts)those of us living far away from it. But, I can remember it.. like "the Heating bill!"! Fortunately, I had help from HEAP or I never would have made it!
Good Luck with all of it, she.. the Roof, keeping Warm, and not slipping on any ice!
I just took a hottish Epsom Salts bath.. like a mineral springs in your bathtub! That's one way to get warm!

Well, with respect to himself, that is a mostly accurate comment. President Obama wasn't raised by a violent, ne-er-do-well-thug-turned-mob-enforcer, Harold Giuliani, so . . .
From an article in the Village Voice
[font size=3]The Shocking Secret History of Harold Giuliani, the Mayors Ex-Convict Dad[/font]
By Wayne Barrett, Jul 4, 2000
< . . . . >
On April 12, (1934) in the case of People v. Harold Giuliani indicted as Joseph Starrett, Giuliani was charged with four felonies: robbery in the first degree, assault in the first degree, grand larceny in the second degree, and criminally receiving stolen property.
The crime occurred on April 2, 1934, at 12:05 p.m. in the unlit first-floor corridor of a 10-family residential building at 130 East 96th Street in Manhattan. Shortly before noon, Harold Giuliani and an accomplice positioned themselves in shadowy recesses near the stairwell. Within 10 or 15 minutes Harold Hall, a milkman for Borden's Farms, entered the building to make routine payment collections. As he began to make his way up the stairs, Giuliani emerged from the shadows and, according to the indictment, pressed the muzzle of a pistol against Hall's stomach. "You know what it is," he reportedly said. He forced the man into a nook behind the stairwell, where his counterpart was waiting. The other man plunged his hand into Hall's pants pocket and fished out $128.82 in cash.
< . . . . >
Giuliani grabbed Hall's pants and yanked them down to his ankles. He told Hall to sit down. He grabbed the man's hands, pulled them behind his back and bound them with cord. Squatting, his back to the wall, Giuliani leaned over his victim and began tying his feet together. Before he was finished, a police officer, Edward Schmitt, burst in the front door of the building.
< . . . >
And then there's this:
That was the gist of Harold's job: enforce Leo's law through threats or violence. He shoved people against walls, broke legs, smashed kneecaps, crunched noses. He gave nearby Kings County Hospital a lot of business.
