TYT: Rudy Giuliani: "What I Said Isn't Racist, Obama Had A White Mother"

"Former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani of New York defended his assertion that President Obama did not love America, and said that his criticism of Mr. Obama’s upbringing should not be considered racist because the president was raised by “a white mother.”

Mr. Giuliani’s remarks — made at a New York fund-raising event for Gov. Scott Walker of Wisconsin and first reported by Politico — set off an uproar.

“I do not believe, and I know this is a horrible thing to say, but I do not believe that the president loves America,” Mr. Giuliani said at the event. “He doesn’t love you. And he doesn’t love me. He wasn’t brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up, through love of this country.”

Critics suggested that Mr. Giuliani’s description of Mr. Obama’s upbringing reflected a prejudiced view that Mr. Obama was different from other Americans."

That says, "eh, wha, how, WHAT?!"

I swear some racists are absolutely oblivious to their racism.

Rudy got one thing right, President Obama was not "raised like us" if he means himself. Rudy's father spent time in SingSing, he was the enforcer for a loan shark, who was also related to Rudy. He beat people with a baseball bat. Great family values there, Rudy. No wonder he considers himself superior, three marriages, first one to his cousin. Second wife discovered he wanted a seperation when he announced it on TV!! Multiple deferrments during the draft (like Dickless Cheney) Prince of a guy, that Rudy. Ugly as sin, inside and out. The repubs. are resentful that here President Obama is smarter than anyone in their camp, he quietly outsmarts them, won two elections FAIRLY, no dirty tricks. I wonder how they will install Jeb Bush into "their" WH??

Some people have drug addiction problems others it's alcohol and some others it's gambling. Of course the list goes on.
Giuliani became addicted to the national spot light and for a politician that is the most dangerous kind of addiction.

In effect he is trying to ride a tide that isn't there.He wishes to be a powerful driving force within the GOP and to reach it, he
needs that national/international spot light on him. It is an addiction .And for it there is no cure.
He believes having been mayor of a city of more than 10 million people is the very equivalent of having been governor of
a state. And has and will use examples naming states for you to compare,but the one state he cannot and will not name is
New York state and there is a reason he won't .

it is really not at all so very difficult to see through Giuliani's trickery ,and really it doesn't require even 2 seconds in thought.
He is a very typical New York politician. And that means he is a strong player in everything dirty about the business of New York politics.

That having been said, he is a nobody in or out of spot light.
If he had in him a thing called humility, his words may or may not be worth the time it takes to weigh. Maybe 10 seconds,give or take a few.
