Giuliani Says He’s Getting Death Threats

In the aftermath of his controversial comments about President Obama not loving America, former New York City mayor says his office has received death threats over the phone.

Does he think his idiotic comments will increase or decrease the daily death threats against the President?

who are anti-gay, racist, maker of duck decoys losers. So yeah bobby has some love for rudi. Idiots, the whole lot. One day maybe we will invent a cure for his type. But right now our only option seems to be frontal lobotomies.

He's probably lying about the threats, but if he isn't, I still don't care. Progressive politicians get countless death threats for statements far less controversial than Giuliani's. Hell, I've gotten a few death threats for my viewpoints on gun control. Welcome to modern-day America, Mr. Mayor.
