Wayne Barrett: What Rudy Giuliani knows about love a response to his 'doesn't love America' critique of Obama
BY Wayne Barrett
special to the NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
Rudy Giuliani knows a lot about love.
Ask Regina Peruggi, the second cousin he grew up with and married, who was "offended" when Rudy later engineered an annulment from the priest who was his best man on the grounds, strangely enough, that she was his cousin. Or ask Donna Hanover, the mother of his two children, who found out he wanted a separation when he left Gracie Mansion one morning and announced it at a televised press conference. Or ask Judi Nathan, his third wife, whom he started dating while still married to Hanover and New York mayor. In two SUVs, he and an entourage of six or seven cops traveled 11 times to Judi's Hamptons getaway at a taxpayer cost of $3,000 a trip.
SNIP!
The onetime presidential candidate also revealed at the party that Obama "doesn't love America," an echo of a speech he'd delivered to delirious cheers in Arizona a week earlier when he declared: "I would go anywhere, any place, anytime, and I wouldn't give a damn what the President of the United States said, to defend my country. That's a patriot. That's a man who loves his people. That's a man who fights for his people. Unlike our President."
Rudy may have forgotten the half-dozen deferments he won ducking the Vietnam War, even getting the federal judge he was clerking for to write a letter creating a special exemption for him. And remember Bernie Kerik? He's the Giulaini police commissioner, business partner and sidekick whose nomination as homeland security secretary narrowly preceded indictments. He then did his national service in prison.
Giuliani's rampage against Obama questioned the President's love for America. 'I do hear him criticize America much more often than other American Presidents.' Giuliani went so far as to rebuke the President for not being "brought up the way you were and the way I was brought up through love of this country," a bow no doubt to the parenting prowess of Harold Giuliani, who did time in Sing Sing for holding up a Harlem milkman and was the bat-wielding enforcer for the loan-sharking operation run out of a Brooklyn bar owned by Rudy's uncle. Though Rudy cited Harold throughout his public life as his model (without revealing any of his history), he and five Rudy uncles found ways to avoid service in World War II. Harold, whose robbery conviction was in the name of an alias, made sure the draft board knew he was a felon. On the other hand, Obama's grandfather and uncle served. His uncle helped liberate Buchenwald, which apparently affected him so deeply he stayed in the family attic for six months when he returned home.
Whole story:

but, all these people are standing up for the President who obviously loves his country so much.
And, it's showing what despicable cowards the rest of the little chickenhawks are.

(17,199 posts)Rudy Giuliani emerged from the smoke of 9/11 as the unquestioned hero of the day: America's Mayor, the father figure we could all rely on to be tough, to be wise, to do the right thing. In that uncertain time, it was a comfort to know that he was on the scene and in control, making the best of a dire situation.
But was he really?
Grand Illusion is the definitive report on Rudy Giuliani's role in 9/11the true story of what happened that day and the first clear-eyed evaluation of Giuliani's role before, during, and after the disaster.
While the pictures of a soot-covered Giuliani making his way through the streets became very much a part of his personal mythology, they were also a symbol of one of his greatest failures. The mayor's performance, though marked by personal courage and grace under fire, followed two terms in office pursuing an utterly wrongheaded approach to the city's security against terrorism. Turning the mythology on its head, Grand Illusion reveals how Giuliani has revised his own history, casting himself as prescient terror hawk when in fact he ran his administration as if terrorist threats simply did not exist, too distracted by pet projects and turf wars to attend to vital precautions.
Authors Wayne Barrett and Dan Collins also provide the first authoritative view of the aftermath of the 9/11 attacks, recounting the triumphs and missteps of the city's efforts to heal itself. With surprising new reporting about the victims, the villains, and the heroes, this is an eye-opening reassessment of one of the pivotal eventsand politiciansof our time.

(8,812 posts)Rudy's dad and an accessory robbed a milkman at gunpoint in April 1934, and when Harold Giuliani got caught, he gave a false name, Joseph Starrett.
Although no one in his family had a prayer of posting his $5,000 bail, he had friends who could. Three days after being arrested, Giuliani was bailed out by one Valentine Spielman. Meanwhile, the milkman, apparently after being visited by several people at 4 in the morning who threatened him, recanted his original story and said that it was the other man, not Giuliani, who had pressed the gun to his stomach. The sudden change in the victim's testimony meant a reduction in charges against Giuliani, who pled guilty to one count of robbery in the third degree.
Although Giuliani's lawyer pled for leniency, the judge was unmoved. "I am a very sympathetic judge, he explained, "but I have no sympathy for robbers with guns." Giuliani was sentenced to five years in Sing Sing, not only for his participation in an armed robbery but because he steadfastly refused to identify his accomplice and moreover because he had originally given the arresting officer a false name.
