GIULIANI: The candidate is up with a new national television ad that uses images of Osama bin Laden and fighting in Middle East streets, NBC/NJ’s Matthew E. Berger notes. It is part of an effort to focus on combating terrorism in the closing days before the New Hampshire primaries, including a call for a military "surge" in Afghanistan. “In a world where the next crisis is a moment away, American needs a leader who’s ready,” the ad says. But it is the quick flashes of disturbing images -- including bin Laden firing a machine guns, recently assassinated Pakistani leader Benazir Bhutto speaking into a microphone, and other symbolic terrorism images -- that will get most of the attention.

“An enemy without borders. Hate without boundaries. A people perverted. A religion betrayed. A nuclear power in chaos. Madmen bent on creating it. Leaders assassinated. Democracy attacked. And Osama bin Laden still making threats,” an announcer says on top of the images.

Berger adds that Giuliani's latest campaign ad paints a haunting picture of terrorism in more than one language. To most, it is the images of Osama bin Laden and other Muslim terrorists firing machine guns that stand out. But to those who speak Arabic, the song playing underneath the ad might also grab attention. The lyrics, according to a translation provided by the campaign, are as follows:

"Instead of me, you carried a bomb in your hands.
My love will not be merely words.
I am following in Mommy's footsteps.
I am following in Mommy's footsteps."

5. I've never understood "there is nothing to fear but fear itself" until these assholes started

using fear mongering as a weapon in which to hold the American people hostage. Now I get it. And as we all know, you don't negotiate with fear mongerers, you simply vote them out of office.

Buh Bye Repube-lickins!

The pResidency goes to the person who does the best job of scaring the crap out of the electorate.
