When Rudy Giuliani called Joe Biden a "trailer trash little creep," he opened quite a large can of worms.

Neither man is responsible for the shortcomings in their upbringings, but Joe Biden's seems much more typical of a middle class family that went through a few tough years along the way. This is a topic Rudy G should have avoided.

From Wikipedia.

Joe Biden:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Biden

Biden's father had been wealthy and the family purchased a home in the affluent Long Island suburb of Garden City in the fall of 1946,[7] but he suffered business setbacks around the time Biden was seven years old,[8][9][10] and for several years the family lived with Biden's maternal grandparents in Scranton.[11] Scranton fell into economic decline during the 1950s and Biden's father could not find steady work.[12] Beginning in 1953 when Biden was ten,[13] the family lived in an apartment in Claymont, Delaware, before moving to a house in nearby Mayfield.[14][15][9][11] Biden Sr. later became a successful used-car salesman, maintaining the family in a middle-class lifestyle.

Rudy Giuliani:

Giuliani was born in 1944 in the East Flatbush section when it was an Italian-American enclave in New York City's borough of Brooklyn. He is the only child of working-class parents Helen (née D'Avanzo; 1909–2002) and Harold Angelo Giuliani (1908–1981), both children of Italian immigrants.[31] Giuliani is of Tuscan descent on his father's side, as his paternal grandparents (Rodolfo and Evangelina Giuliani) were born in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany, Italy.[32] He was raised a Roman Catholic.[33] Harold Giuliani, a plumber and a bartender,[34] had trouble holding a job, was convicted of felony assault and robbery, and served prison time in Sing Sing.[35] Once released, he worked as an enforcer for his brother-in-law Leo D'Avanzo, who operated an organized crime-affiliated loan sharking and gambling ring at a restaurant in Brooklyn[/excerpt]

3. It goes to show:

The whole time the National media was lauding America’s Mayor, people in the know in NYC were shaking their collective heads as to the pedigree and true intentions of this mean motherfucker and bad go-getter.

6. I didn't recognize my own country after 9-11

The corrupt Cheney/Bush cabal asleep at the wheel....allowing the worst terrorist attack on U.S. soil....hailed as heroes for trumping up an invasion of the wrong country....all based on garbage lies. And the gullible people roared in approval.

8. Not too long ago

I posted the story about the liberal college professor who right after 9/11 came into my office and told me that she suspected clerk at the 7-Eleven where she got coffee every morning being a terrorist. He had been there for years six or seven days a week.

4. Why do Republicans hate people who live in trailers?

Apparently they just hate a lot of people in general.

7. A fair amount of their base lives in trailer parks, so I would posit it is self-loathing, and in Giuliani's case,

outright deflection from HIS actual lower end (criminal father included) upbringing.

5. Goes against BS about Democrats being all elites beholden to wealthy donors and billionaires.
