I think Chris Hayes may have caused Rudy Giuliani to Shit his Pants last night on MSNBC

[trailmonkee]

thank you for facing the beast Chris!!!

Crooks and Liars talks about the video and Rudy's side jobs here: http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/rudy-giuliani-insists-he-has-no-govt-

[MrSlayer]

1. Was he right?

Hayes sat there with the shit eating grin on his face like he nailed Rudy on something but Guiliani rebuffed him as a liar taking cheap shots.

What was that about? Was he right?

[trailmonkee]

3. really? are you seriously questioning the truthfulness of Rudy Giuliani?

not trying be be a dick... but really?

I added this video link to the post.... would of helped if I would have had it up earlier: http://crooksandliars.com/nicole-belle/rudy-giuliani-insists-he-has-no-govt-

[MrSlayer]

15. Haha! No.

I'm just unfamiliar with what he was accusing captain 9/11 of.

[trailmonkee]

13. Hmmm. A $1.1 M contract to combat OxyContin abuse.

What did he do for that, take away Rush's bag o' pills?

Crooks and Liars doesn't say the name of Rudy's company, but it is obviously some sort of shell so that Rudy can say with a straight face that "he" was not hired by Homeland Security and that he only works with "private companies." Yeah, as in he gets hired by his wholly-owned shell corporation that sucks off the government teat.

Sounds like just the sort of government waste he keeps railing against as jsutifying huge cuts to--what else--social programs.

4. As a nyer I can tell you Rudy is a liar.

And a jerk.

[regnaD kciN]

5. Actually, Giuliani completely schooled Hayes...

It was Rachel, coming in at the end, who zapped Rudy.

[trailmonkee]

10. Hayes nailed him by bringing his shit up... and he's a total liar

[rhett o rick]

21. Let's see, Giuliani said "if you let the Bush tax cuts expire, you raise taxes". That's all he said.

And you think that is schooling anyone?

[demwing]

24. Wait a second, wtf are you talking about?

Explain how Giuliani "schooled" Hayes?

And how was nailing down Giuliani on whether Romney would lower taxes on the wealthiest Americans an ad personam attack?

[grasswire]

6. my favorite part was when Chris said "Sure. Sure." at the end

He was deadly.

Thanks for posting.

[George II]

11. Giuliani was just pissed off because Hayes never brought up 9/11

[DWinNJ]

12. Two points

I worked in Manhattan while Giuliani was mayor. Toward the end of his second term he had become something of a joke and a has-been and that was without even considering his drag moments. It was only noun, verb, 9/11 that he recovered any political standing.

The tax cuts are due to expire.
Right away on the face of it you have the fact that what was applied to the tax rate was a cut. The law was structured that the “CUT” was only to last for a (too long) predetermined length of time. Letting them expire is not a tax increase, it is a return to the normal. The cut for most of its existence was touted as a republican strategy to improve the economy. IT FAILED.

Q: Do you know what you call someone who calls letting the cut expire a “tax increase”?
A: A LIAR

[trailmonkee]

20. excellent

very quick and easy liar test... And one that proves, alllllllllllll republicans are liars

[SemperEadem]

14. I saw that last night--it was beautiful

guiliani didn't know whether to shit or go blind.

[democrat_patriot]

18. "Mr Guiliani, you've had the tax breaks. Where are the jobs from the job creators?

WHERE are the f***ing jobs? Taxes at an all time low.

Where are the jobs?

Please -ask the question!

[DhhD]

22. When did the rich people create the jobs over the past year that they promised the President and

the American People? What a crock of horse manure! Is Giuliani riding the White Horse too? And they have been riding this since Reagan. The manure has been stacking up for 30 years. For 30 years We the People have been dumped on.

[valerief]

27. They've had the Bush tax cuts for the past decade. You know, that period when the 1%

shipped US job overseas.

[rogrot]

23. Corporations, according to the SCOTUS are people

and they're sitting on $$$Billions. They're not creating badly needed jobs. Why? Because there's no market for their products because no one--but the 1%--has any money. Better 50% have enough money to by yachts than 1%. There's more than enough to go around. Turn on those spigots and let 'er trickle down, Ronnie!!! A yacht in every slip.

[valerief]

25. I love Chris Hayes! Ballsy shit. Good for him. I HATE Ghouliani911. nt

[magic59]

26. Rich never create jobs

they create fat bank accounts/ The biggest lie the fascist use and there are dummies out there that believe them, one being the top NYC fascist Rudy.

The only way jobs are created is when there is demand for product, not because the rich want to spend their money. Common economics.

Give money back to the 99% and that would create demand, and then create jobs.

[demwing]

28. If I let my driver's license expire

have my driving privileges been suspended?

Of course not.

A license to drive is a temporary privilege, just like the Bush tax cuts are a temporary privilege. Allowing a temporary driving privilege to expire does not create an increase in driving suspensions, just like allowing a temporary tax decrease to expire does not create an increase in taxes.

Returning something to it's normal, default state is not an increase nor a reduction, it's a normalization.

[maddiemom]

29. Good analogy!

[Snarkoleptic]

30. Rudy is hard to listen to with his new dentures.

[Canuckistanian]

31. I loved how STUDIOUSLY Giuliani AVOIDED talking about tax cuts for the rich

He kept saying "tax cuts for EVERYONE", knowing full well the real debate is for tax cuts for the wealthy.

And Chris was correct in pointing out that Republicans were responsible for the time limit on the Bewsh tax cuts for the wealthy.
