Any Point by Point Response to Giuliani's Kerry Bash?

Know of a good read? Moderate Dempocrat having second thought at work. I told her about the 87 billion lies but looking for something more comprehensive.

What an embarrassment Rudy Giuliani was last night at his beloved Garden! Treating delegates like visiting rubes, the fake old man had this to say about Mr. Flip-Flop, John Kerry:

GIULIANI: He even, at one point, declared himself as an anti-war candidate. And now he says he's a pro-war candidate!

Except that, no, he actually doesn’t. Kerry doesn’t say he’s “a pro-war candidate”—and every journalist in America knows it. But so what? Half-witted delegates laughed and nodded, pleased to be treated like fools by their host. And Rudy wasn’t about to deprive them of their dumbest and most pleasing moment:

GIULIANI: My point about John Kerry being inconsistent is best described in his own words, not mine. I quote John Kerry: "I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

Groan. Incredibly, Rudy lied to the delegates just a bit more as he completed this scripted recitation:

GIULIANI (continuing directly): Maybe this explains John Edwards' need for two Americas.

(APPLAUSE)

One is where John Kerry can vote for something and another where he can vote against exactly the same thing.

2. Here's another one

Former New York mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani made a number of specific attacks based on statements allegedly made by Democratic presidential nominee John F. Kerry in his speech to the Republican National Convention Monday night. But Giuliani's description of those comments often lacked context.

For example, Giuliani said: "In October of 2003, he told an Arab American institute in Detroit that a security barrier separating Israel from the Palestinian territories was a barrier to peace. Okay. Then a few months later, he took exactly the opposite position."

The context: When Kerry made his statement about a "barrier to peace," he was referring to, as he put it, the "Israeli government's decision to build the barrier off of the Green Line -- cutting deep into Palestinian areas."
