Osama still making threats... ergo: vote for the party that dropped the ball, turned it's attention to other matters, and failed to catch him.

Someone stop this madness!

The headshot of Giuliani at the end of that ad might look more appropriate with one of those square little Charlie Chaplin mustaches, don't you think?

Ummm, Rudy who???

HAHAHAHAHAHA!

it doesn't surprise me that trudy julie on me approves of that message.
After all 911 911 911 911 911 911 911 etc.

Its not half as scary as his christmas ad.

This is the vote Rudys going after

Quote: "The leading religion in America is not evangelical Christianity, it is the worship of unearned riches, and its golden rule is the belief that is is possible to get something for nothing. Its holy shrines are Las Vegas and Wall Street. (And, by the way, has anybody heard the evangelical Christians complain about Las Vegas? They complain about a lot of things, but are themselves among the greatest believers in unearned riches -- given their preference for prayer over earnest effort in the service of solving life's problems.)"

If you want to scare the peepee out of me, show me a picture of Rudy sitting behind the desk in the oval office.

Noun, verb, 9-11.

Ah, yes. Two minutes hate time.

reaches for victory gin

Vote for Rudy...or death and despair will befall you and the country.

Voting Republican to be safer from terrorism makes about as much sense as congratulating Brownie after his disastrous handling of Katrina.

It was on the watch of this Republican President that the US suffered the worst attack in history, thousands of Americans have been killed and injured in a war based on a lie, and the people of New Orleans were left to drown and starve while Brownie was checking his make up. Let’s not even add the fact that thousands of Americans are losing their homes and the US dollar is now worth less than the Canadian dollar. So another Republican should be elected President because… what exactly? To destroy what’s left of our country?

ashton @ 19:

I still have not been able to make the connection between Rudy and safety. The thought of the man wandering around NYC because he had foolishly placed his disaster command center in the building that was attacked, despite the fact that it was essentially the only terrorist target in the that city which was attacked previously, twice, does not really give me a safe and warm feeling. I tend to not get an inclination that this man is anything but empty rhetoric. He had a chance to prove how good he was at safety and it didn't really work all that well. I don't see why anyone would want to expand the failures in one city to be a national experience.

If Rudy is an expert on safety, the Mayor of New Orleans must also be considered an expert on flood planning.

He was screwing whats her name when the Jets hit the towers apparently.

ghouliani wants this guy's vote?

Pleeeeeathe vote for me! 9/11!!!! 9/11!!!! 9/11!!!!

Rudy

Did you catch Rudy's latest rhetorical insanity?

"I think it wouldn’t be unfair to describe us as the 9/11 generation"

That’s right, Rudy thinks that the entire current population should be defined by a single, horrible day that represents both the hatred of a small tribe of barbarous extremists, and the woeful unpreparedness of an incompetent and illegitimate administration.

Check out my graphic depiction of this BS:

Come Alive! - You're in the 9/11 Generation!

I just watched Rudy's newest ad for president... Looked to me to be about his supporters cheering him on. Again like alot of the other guys running, he's terrorizing the public by saying the terrorest are going to get us if I(Rudy) is not president.

"Thank God, George Bush is our President". - Rudy, on 9-11, 9-11, 9-11, 9-11

9/11 is the day America learned to be afraid. And not just prudently alarmed, I mean gibbering, mindless fear, of which Islamophobia is just the tip of the iceberg. We're afraid of blinking lights, of men praying in an airport terminal, of piles of flour and chalk arrows. A cute but otherwise distracted MIT student draws an armed response for wearing a blinky-light badge on her hoody, and the Stasi police have the gall to remark that she was lucky she wasn't shot dead in the middle of the airport concourse (outside the security line), because, you know, It Could Have Been So Much Worse.

But instead of looking to those advocating dialogue and means of depriving terrorism of its breeding grounds, far too much of the country is looking to fake heroes like Rudy Giuliani, whose idea of security was to place the city's emergency command center within the WTC complex ... because he wanted it within walking distance. We're actually giving folks waving the Jesus flag credence, as if blathering about this being a war of religious ideologies is going to do anything but do the enemy's recruiting for them.

I was in the newsroom the morning of 9/11, and I honestly don't remember a damned thing Rudy said. Not even a memorable quote. Yet he's campaigning on the platform of having been tested (which, perhaps, also strikes a familiar chord amongst evangelicals as well as guano loco nationalists) at the same time he's trying to be the new Mr. My Pet Goat.

On a tangent, Rice's comment about 'looking at the facts' is like saying '9 out of 10 dentists surveyed recommend x gum for their patients who chew gum' - over 50 countries joined in the effort? That makes our continued stalemate in Iraq even more depressing - the combined might of 50 nations can't pacify Iraq. Our alliances haven't found Osama bin Laden. 2007 was the deadliest year for our troops in Iraq since we began this debacle.

"We're not go-it-alone," is about as meaningful as, "We're not about stay the course," and all of the other jingoistic slogans trotted out to inure us to the fact that our soldiers are dying at an amazing rate or that we haven't achieved any of our goals in Iraq.

In fact, this 'tough it out' strategy is also born out of fear - fear of being held responsible. Fear of acknowledging that we've been getting our arses spanked for four years running because we thought we could 'clear, hold, and build' our way to raping Iraq for her oil reserves. We don't negotiate because we fear revealing our weaknesses - and why, exactly, are we looking to Condi Rice for effective diplomacy, when she completely fumbled the response to the al-Qaeda threat in the first place? (Oh, yes, it wasn't 'framed' properly, or it was 'just a historical document'.)

We need leadership, and we need something other than a retread of Bush policies, or even Bush Lite.

Ghouliani want's to scare folks into voting for his corporate masters and against there own best interest. Same ole tired Republicanism, he's just the most brazen and shameless about it.

Now, more than ever, it is important to remember the True Meaning of Christmas.
Your Life Might Just Depend On It !!!

- With apologies to Bill Murray in "Scrooged"

"that if we don’t vote for Rudy, we’ll be vulnerable to... the people who assassinated Benazir Bhutto"

The CIA?

enor @ 1:

Bush Lite... and how does Rudy think that is going to play to the rest of us? E

Oh, Giuliani is definitely a heavy. And he's actually more dangerous than Bush. Less stupid than Bush, to be sure, but even more paranoid, authoritarian, and contemptuous of the law than Dick Cheney. Giuliani is what you'd get if you took a Nixon/Cheney love child and fed it steroids until it started raging.

This isn't just Rudy, it's a meme that's been going around for a while: 'I'm a post 9/11 person,' ostensibly meant to describe the claimant as someone whose eyes are open to the harsh, new reality of a world where terrorists were allowed can strike us here at home.

To which my usual rebuttal is, "Are you a post-7/20 person, or a pre-7/20 person? What about a post-12/7 person? A post-11/23 person?"

Gibbering fear. Ye gods, this is the nation that birthed the greatest generation? Lasted through a Great Depression and the Dust Bowl? Landed a man on the moon? This is the depth of our national resolve, to stand there and cry, 'Waaaaaaaah! Mr. Rudy, that bad man blew up our skyscraper! Waaaaaah!"

Disgusting.

Hahahaha made me laugh! Sadly, it'll work with much of the base.

Shadowgm @48: "“Are you a post-7/20 person, or a pre-7/20 person?" is pretty damn funny, too, but for all the right reasons.

Be sure to rate that pathetic video ONE STAR When the false flag flies, who do you think the sheep are going to flock to?

RUDY WANTS A SURGE IN AFGHANISTAN!!!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QYB69_uVgTk

F*ck Rude-y.

Desperation total, polling 6% in Iwoa, he is resorting the lowest of lows to attempt to win Florida.

While Huckabee goes on Jay Leno and talks like normal likeable guy and plays guitar.

While Mitt just smears everyone.

Huckster has the right strategy. Rudy has the wrong strategy

ghouliani should know about terrorism. Here's home movies from his last vacation cruise:

Quote from an article by Jim Kunstler about Greenspan and American's in general titled Shocked, shocked!?

Didn't think it was a Rudy quote. Would expect something more like "Hail Mammon! (9/11)" from that self serving person.

Agree that that is the sort of voter, who thinks they can get something from nothing (and protected from and overly inflated danger, something that's not really there), would vote for Guiliani.

Osama still making threats...

Oh the irony of using that line and referencing Bhutto's assassination, considering just a couple months ago, Bhutto stated matter of factly during an interview, that Osama has already been killed.

http://youtube.com/watch?v=UnychOXj9Tg

How is it that C&L can criticize a guy like Rudy for hiding behind 9/11 and fear, and yet continually stifle and ignore debate of "the official story," which would help us transcend their fear mongering.

Seriously, instead of John ending with,

And why isn’t Rudy criticizing Bush for not getting Osama? Is he afraid Condi might diss him too?

He could have cut right to it with,

And why isn’t Rudy criticizing Bush for not getting Osama? Is he afraid somebody will point out that he's already dead?

Or maybe John just thinks government conspiracies and cover-ups only happen in Pakistan.

Is that video the only "proof" you have that OBL was murdered or is dead? I watched the video and I wasn't convinced. The video was cut off right after Bhutto's statement so it's impossible to know whether she meant what she said, whether she misspoke etc. If this is all you have to go on, it's kind of thin.

Thanks Jersey for even having the courage to watch the vid. That was an edited video that highlighted her Osama comment. The rest of the interview can be found on YouTube, but Frost (Host) never attempts to correct her or ask for clarification. The notion that she could have mispoken about such an important and literally life and death topic, is evidence of how far our expectations and standards have fallen after listening to BushBaby try to speak for 7 years now.

She seemed pretty clear and sure of what she was saying to me. Whether that's "proof," that he was killed is very debatable. Which is why it's telling that EVERYBODY seems to be ignoring this.
Just like they ignore the source of the Put Options on UA and AA, Building 7, the ISI $ wired to Atta etc. etc.

Speaking of Thin evidence. I remember the night of 9/11 how the MSM was already reporting that OBL was behind it. Sorta like how Mushy was ready to immediately blame the Taliban for Bhutto's assassination.

The evidence is so thin that OBL was behind 9/11, that the FBI didn't even bother to specifically cite it in the alleged crimes that he's wanted for: http://www.fbi.gov/wanted/topten/fugitives/laden.htm

If we can't challenge the "official story," then we're basically telling people like Rudy to keep scaring us.

You all want to see something hilarious AND frightening??? Rudy wants Cheney to be his VP if he's elected!!!

No kidding - it's all right here! http://thinkprogress.org/2008/01/03/giuliani-cheney-vp/

Vote for me or die. It is the new Republican Mantra (barely outpacing - ME ME ME ME MINE MINE MINE MINE)

"If you don't vote for us, the terrorists will escape. If you do vote for us, um, well...Britney's sister is pregnant!"

All 9/11 was just a bad day that landed at Rudy's feet. It also landed at the feet of hundreds of thousands of other New Yorkers. Are we supposed to believe that now the entire twin towers area is now qualified to be president because they had to endure the attack? As I recall, all the terrorists in the airplane were dead by the time Rudy showed up.

All Rudy did was play nursemaid to a scared and angry populace for a few days. That doesn't make you a president.

Besides, I'd rather die in a terrorist attack than give up my freedoms.

You want the government to protect you from outside influences by taking away your liberty? Move to China.

If I could I'd put this in the toilet. That is where crap belongs.

consider its all a sham. "They" dont have it right..... have to get back to being humans before the game is over. This is a giant lesson for us all.... the all encompassing political spectrum, its bullshit. The Earth dies, The countries war amongst themselves, Morality fades..... what does it say to you?

Naomi Klien misses the big one. The Shock and Awe of 911. The United States has PTSD.

A perfect excuse for his campaign. Too bad no one believed it.

If the terrorists don't kill us, the economy will. It's OK if we starve to death as long as we're safe.

I tossed together a parody of this ad yesterday afternoon: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eVFgLuAvDEw

It didn't need much, honestly.
