[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. WARNING: ALL AFRICAN AMERICAN MALES MUST....

VACATE THE PREMISES FOR YOUR OWN SAFTY!!!

You never know, Rudy just might order the Cops to shoot at any non-white people, he did it as mayor.

[MrScorpio]

Let's dedicate this thread to Amidou Diallo and Albert Louima

Remember those names, Rudy?

[misterphelps]

4. Another 911-Sadaam connection

[Placebo]

6. Claiming credit for Libya...

ahem, they didn't give up their weapons because of bush, but because of years and years of diplomacy.

[BootinUp]

13. yeah you probably believe Raygun didn't win the cold war too!

[dogtag]

18. Oh, crickey

will he do the same speech that he gave to the 9/11 commission. You know, the one where Rudy singlehandedly saved the day. ME, ME, ME, Me, Rudy, I did it all. No other mayor could have done anything that day, except ME, ME, ME.

[hatrack]

7. Pompous, arrogant bullshit!

"The miraculous power of the white-clad Americans, who marched forth to war with virtue shining from their faces and vanquished evildoers blahblahblahblah."

And it's coming from a pompous arrogant bullshit artist. Why doesn't that surprise me?

[restorefreedom]

8. "is there any doubt they will continue to hear from us?"

uh, no - because dick and dubya will invade the entire f*cking world if they get the chance.

I gotta start thinking of my favorite Canadian province.....

[gauguin57]

16. New Zealand, baby. That's the place to go.

That's where my friends and I are going to open an expatriate bar!

[restorefreedom]

19. you've got the right idea

as far away from this nightmare as possible

I can't believe this is happening to my country

[Lefty48197]

9. Rudy, lying about Khadafi.

Still claiming that capturing Saddam somehow skeered Mohammar into giving up his "wmd's". What a bunch of bullsh*t. Britain normalized relations with Libya six months before Saddam was captured. Why did England decide Libya was out of the terrorist business so long before Saddam was captured?

[Lefty48197]

Here's something I posted about the Khadafi Saddam connection lies

awhile back.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=104&topic_id=964289

I think it does a pretty good job of debunking that lie.

[berner59]

33. it's all war...all the time....

Yikes is this ever so F***ing pathetic.... Rudy is now talking about a person who was ready to jump!!!! This is wrong...don't you use the dead for political gain!!!!

"Not in our america...not in our america...."

[BootinUp]

45. I knew it was coming

really its not a surprise. They have nothing else to fire up the faithful.

[Placebo]

22. "We're not going to let terrorists determine where we travel!"

ummm implying that because NYC is a 5-to-1 democratic city and you decided to hold your convention there, that the democrats and liberals are terrorists for not wanting you there?

damn these people are skilled in their evil

[cthrumatrix]

31. this is sooo weak....they only have one card --- "terror"

[jayfish]

48. That's The Way I Took It...

only I thought he was talking specifically about the anti-war protesters.

[Doosh]

27. He sounds like Daffy Duck

[misterphelps]

28. Rudy's going to hell

using this for political purposes

[michigandem2]

29. 30 seconds to 7 minutes...interesting....hmmm.

[hatrack]

30. Now Rudy waves the bloody shirt ONE MORE TIME

Gee, watching this broadcast, you'd get the impression that America had been subjected to a terrorist attack or something.

When did that happen?

[AngryLizard]

47. Seriously, this is getting disgusting

"Thank God George Bush is our President". Oh, yeah. Totally. Thank God we had a president who ignored repeated warnings and if he had acted at all might have been able to prevent the slaughter of 3,000 of your constituents.

I cannot STAND these people!!!!

[Zen Democrat]

95. He's a lying sack of excrement. What a twisted, negative speech.

[Neshanic]

34. Rudy getting graphic, bodies on fire. Is this 1939?

"Bernie, I'm glad George Bush is our president."

Another tall glass of wine for me. I can't take this shit sober.

P.S. Thank you for being there for me to vent to, DU!!!!!! I love you guys (sloppy drunk kiss :loveya: :loveya: :loveya: )

[michigandem2]

gosh can we have some good surrogates..better yet ANY to critique each speech..I am not going to be able to handle this ass kissing session after this bullshit...ugghhh

[cthrumatrix]

46. shrubya is watching and has "no idea" who Rudy is talking about?

[berner59]

52. this is going to backlash...

There will be 9/11 families SCREAMING tomorrow about the shame of this sick display...

They said they would be sensitive about this issue...OMG!!!!! DISGRACEFUL!!!!!

He sucks as a speaker too!!!

[Neshanic]

39. They have been fed the meat from a lisping cross-dresser.

[misterphelps]

42. If we can't beat this shit, we deserve four more

[Catherine Vincent]

43. These repukes have to make up so much just to make themselves feel better.

They are hopeless.

[cthrumatrix]

51. when you have to use God for your campaign .....it's a red flag!

[restorefreedom]

44. "earned a place in history"

yeah - he sure has

[restorefreedom]

49. it's a good thing I didn't eat dinner....

[AngryLizard]

55. What is this, the history of terrorism?

Does he realize that he's talking about stuff that happened under Reagan and Bush I's watch?

[NightOwwl]

50. Yyou forgot to mention the fact

Jesus, this is just disgusting.

[cthrumatrix]

70. repug convention renamed to "fairy land" .... make-up your tale

[michigandem2]

53. I will never trust a republican again...

[seabeyond]

105. sadly neither will i, and extends beyond politicians

i am afraid

[Pirate Smile]

56. Germany - BAD, Italy - BAD, ....

[AngryLizard]

67. Fear, hatred anger

No middle ground. Us or them. Bush is rock-solid. Oh my God, and Giulani just compared Bush to Churchill! Surely Churchill will come back from the dead JUST to refute that.

[Pirate Smile]

104. We don't need no stinken allies. We don't need nobody else's

stinken intelligence information or troupes or money.

None of them have ANYTHING to do with shrub!

[michigandem2]

62. winston churchill???? heard that earlier

[gauguin57]

60. Rudy, you're selling out your gay friends!

Rudy,

On 9/11, you were living with a gay couple, because you'd been running around on your wife with your current wife and you had to get out of the mansion.

You called one of the guys in that couple "Mom." I read all about it. They took care of you, and comforted you when you got home early on 9/12.

Now, you stand up for this party that would deny your friends their love.

You hypocritical BASTARD, Rudy.

May Satan take your soul.

[michigandem2]

65. "you are either with us or with the terrorists?"

iraq was not the "terrorists" and this is sickening...ugghhh

[hatrack]

61. Wow, I knew that this was going to suck

But I really didn't think that it would be this bad this early. I mean, it's really sucking big, fat, hairy camel schlongs less than two hours into prime time.

How much lower can they sink? How much suckier can it get? Only those of us brave enough to listen or watch over the next four nights will know for sure.

For myself, I'm going to take on a small personal assignment. Starting from this moment, as Rudy bashes the evil Europeans for their lax handling of terrorism (he's talking about Munich now), I am going to note how many times the words "September 11th" are mentioned. I'll let you know what my limited sampling of the proceedings comes up with!

[phish420]

63. Guess Im with the Terrorists

[Neshanic]

69. Me too, I guess. The sellout just said so.

[misterphelps]

64. solid as a rock... and just as smart

79. That's Genius! I WANT TO SEE IT ON RALLY SIGNS!

[NEDem]

I have a bumper sticker

'Only dumber' is on the second line and the font is a little bigger than top line. I have no idea where my wife found it.

[BootinUp]

66. You're either with us or against us!!!

Do they think they will win on this shit?!!!

[cthrumatrix]

72. they have "nothing else".... fear. lies and invoking god...case closed

[berner59]

74. WHAT A HORRIBLE SPEECH!!!!

He just accused the media of trying to take Bush down...WHAT planet does he live on??

[gauguin57]

68. What media ridicule?

The media wants to have SEX with George W. Bush they love him so much.

And Dubya is no Churchill, no Reagan.

He's a little pissant whose ass is owned by the international corporate war machine!!!!!!!!!

[AngryLizard]

76. I thought this convention was supposed to appeal to moderates?

This is going to appeal to moderates? Moderate republicans think Bush is like Churchill? I thought moderate republicans just wanted their taxes low?

[cthrumatrix]

109. bingo....their base is narrow ....for narrow minded bird brains who can't

This is insane, repulsive, and downright patronizing.

112. No effing way the Secret Service guy said that.

No effing way the SS guy was jokin' around like that.

You LIE Rudy!

148. We need a 'NYC Hardhats for Truth'

Bush is embellishing his actions that day.

113. What a hero Bush would really be if.........

there were WMD's, little yellow cakes, and, the TERRORIST connections to Al Qaeda. WOW! Would I be sitting on the edge of my seat!!


:puke:

[against all enemies]

114. "You're either with us or with the terrorists" Rudy said, 500,000 ...

terrorists marched in New York yesterday. Is that what you're saying? Another Republican piece of shit.

[henslee]

115. this thread needs some visuals...

[Zen Democrat]

116. Rudy's political career just came to a screeching halt. EEEEEEAAAK!

About 90 percent of this crap is anecdotal bullshit, half-truth, lies, and stuff that doesn't tell "the rest of the story."

The Munich terrorists were released by the Germans after a Lufthansa airline was hijacked. The three captured terrorists were released and eventually assassinated by the Israelis. Since the Germans don't have the death penalty, I'm sure the Israelis were happy to have the opportunity to get at the terrorists. After all, they knew who they were!! But Giuliani just presented it as "the Germans let them go." And the crowd dutifully boos. This is pathetic.

The cuts at Kerry are low-blow stuff that's been debunked.

This guy is a low-life. This speech will go over like Pat Buchanan's in '92.

[cthrumatrix]

121. he's a "terra consultant" now...making millions from 911...loves it

[bossfish]

124. Now will the talking head "analyzing" Rudy's address..

..know that Lufthansa story?

Or will they just nod and let it go.

I thought Osama was? Wait a sec...is this what they call revisionist history?

I'm completely confused now.

[seabeyond]

126. bah ha ha ha, my first laugh tonite

thank you

[hatrack]

139. Did you hear? He himself was a weapon of mass destruction!!

In fact, his extensible octopoid robotic arms were known to fly across briefing rooms and decapitate recalcitrant army officers and underlings.

His breath was a hot blast of equal parts garlic and VX, and could level whole cities in a single lungful!

But now, stuck in jail, Saddam's amazing colossal super-evil-powers have deserted him, and he's just another aging Arab with a bad dye job.

[phish420]

118. Liberating Peopl

Bush didnt think we were supposed to be liberating people in 2000...he called it 'nation building'

[misterphelps]

119. Where the F--- was the transition between 911 + Sadam?

137. Do they really need to connect the dots.....

when we can't even open their eyes? What would they see?
