http://www.alternet.org/5-unhinged%20right-wing-moments-week-meet-donald-trumps-insane-replacement1. Rudy Giuliani: Obama doesnt love me or America because hes not like us.
There is one sure sign of America hatred, and it is running for and winning the presidency twice. While black. Another sign of hating America is not being Rudy Giuliani, and not having had the specific experiences that he has had. Like marrying your cousin, avoiding the draft, dumping your wife on TV, race-baiting your way to the mayoralty, backing police brutality against minorities and acting somewhat more like a like a leader than George Bush on 9/11.
2. Geraldo Rivera: Hip hop has damaged black and brown people more than racism.
Shall we review the things that Fox News contributor Geraldo Rivera considers more damaging to black and brown people than the pernicious and manifold effects of racism? Lets see, hoodies, LeBron James not wearing a t-shirt that says Be a good Dad, and now, hip hop, and hip hop style.
3. Speaking of Donald Trump: He knows whats good for the Jews.
Donald Trump is not one to yield the spotlight. Just because Giuliani is the current leader in saying clueless yet blatantly racist comments about the president doesnt mean the Donalds got nothing to say. Heaven forefend.
4. Fox Hosts: Abolish Public Schools but first, stop teaching them American history.
The right-wing and its media blowhards have been working overtime this week to foster the ignorance of the American people. Because that is the problem. People are just getting too educated. Too big for their britches. Too self-reflective, analytical and scientific. It is so much harder to scare and manipulate a well-educated populace.

From a link in the article:
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.

You can't blame Giuliani for what a shitbag his own father was; but to claim there was something wrong with President Obama's upbringing compared to his own is the biggest hypocrisy I've seen in a long time.
