Giuliani: Obama Had a White Mother, So I’m Not a Racist
Source: NY Times
Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York on Thursday defended his assertion that President Obama did not love America, and said that his criticism of Mr. Obamas upbringing should not be considered racist because the president was raised by a white mother.
Mr. Giulianis remarks made at a New York fund-raising event for Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin on Wednesday night and first reported by Politico set off an uproar.
(...)
In an interview with The New York Times, Mr. Giuliani dismissed the criticism and said he was describing the worldview that had shaped Mr. Obamas upbringing.
Some people thought it was racist I thought that was a joke, since he was brought up by a white mother, a white grandfather, went to white schools, and most of this he learned from white people, Mr. Giuliani said in the interview. This isnt racism. This is socialism or possibly anti-colonialism.

And "Amurica's Mayor" digs himself in deeper tonight.
"Anti-colonialism," eh?
Sounds like he's going full Dinesh D'Loser now.
I wonder who else was anti-clonialism and deserving of Rudy's scorn.....
Yeah, Rudy could never, ever be racist:
Ninety-three percent of blacks are killed by other blacks, Giuliani said, triggering a heated argument on NBC's "Meet the Press." I would like to see the attention paid to that that you are paying to this.
White police officers wouldnt be there, Giuliani said to Dyson, if you werent killing each other.

(14,093 posts)Rudy had the opportunity to rise above his flaws and be a transformational leader.
But, instead, he blew his chance at leadership and reverted to being a divisive, opportunistic ass, representing the worst in politics, within mere weeks. And, following his disastrous 2008 presidential campaign, he's just a bitter old coot who can't get over not even getting nominated for an office he was measuring the drapes for in 2001.
An ugly, pathetic end to an ugly, vile career.
America dodged a massive, massive bullet in 2008 when this jerk lost.

(14,093 posts)In a glass of warm milk interview with fellow race-baiter Hannity:
On Wednesday night, former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told a private Manhattan audience, I do not believe that the president loves America. He followed that up Thursday morning by clarifying to Fox & Friends that President Barack Obama sounds like more of a critic than a supporter of this country. And now, in a radio interview with Sean Hannity, Giuliani stood by his statement once more, this time invoking the September 11th attacks to justify his point.
I think this is a pivotal moment, and it took someone of your stature and your credibility on this issue to bring this very important debate to the forefront, Hannity said, flattering his guest. And, I know youre going to be under fire, I really do. But it is so important.
Giuliani told Hannity hes been making a similar point for the past several years, but it finally got picked up by reporters. And Im not saying it was out of context, it wasnt, he said. When Hannity brought up the specter of another 9/11, Giuliani asserted, You know, President Obama didnt live through September 11, I did. President Obama didnt almost have a building fall on him, myself and my police commissioner and my fire commissioner did.

And yeah, Rudy, it's possible that the president doesn't love you. Please add me to the list.
Also, Rudy (apt name, btw), please respond to questions about your insistence that NYC emergency command communications be located in Bldg 7?
I've had it with this guy. For a long time.

"You can't be racist against whites (or half-whites in this case)" meme being used by Rudy??? Eh just plain stupidity on his end. What an irrelevant moran (and yes he's a bigot as well), he's no mayor of America. Well at least the America I believe in. :/

(29,322 posts)Wow -- My first memory of Giuliani mentioned was in the Chris Rock Show of the 90's where one of his on-the-street skits/interview was a man repeatedly screaming "Fuck Giuliani" repeatedly. IIRC, he was also selling "Fuck Giuliani" T-shirts.
I really didn't know the man, Biden best sums up everything I knew of him "A noun + a verb + 9/11".
Now I'm sensing he must have been a special kind of asshole (more so but many like him special kind of assholes in the Republican party)
