Politics – Rudy Giuliani has a new ad in New Hampshire and Florida, the only two January states left that he's contesting. The ad's message is simple, and shows just how blatant the Rudy campaign has become in their appeals to fear.

I was going to comment, but after viewing the ad, why waste time? Sleasy...
I thought this was a fake ad when i first watched it due to how extreme it is in the fear mongering. Even for Rudy "I am 9/11" Giuliani, this one was over the top.
He's going to have 9/11 tatooed on his forehead...
with a mural of the twin towers on his left cheek....
someone in rudy's camp just read your idea and said, hey, that ain't bad.
That's why I like Rudy. He knows, unlike so many commenters here, who the enemy is.
The problem is they know who the enemy is, and they don't want us to notice. They will never protect this country, and they don't want anyone else to protect us either.
seems you forgot who was asleep at the wheel when 911 happened.
don't worry. we'll keep reminding you.
it was george w. bush.
9/11 was planned and put in place under
Clinton. If he would have had the guts
to enact some of the policies Bush did
9/11 might have been avoided. This is a
glaring failure considering the 1993
bombing at the same place.
That's a bunch of bull$hit. It wasn't under Clinton when those dudes tried to learn how to just fly planes and not land them. It wasn't Clinton that gave the Taliban 40 mil. for poppy eradication. Hmmm, I wonder where that money went? Then, after it was all said and done, Aunt Jemima came out and said that the administration had no idea that anyone would fly planes through buildings. Bull$hit. As far back as 1995, Jemah Islamiah wanted to crash planes into the twin towers in Kalala Lumpur.
This $hit happened under the Bush regime and they and those who support them have to own it
TonyByron, your analogy and history are correct. This was not the first WTC bombing, but they buried their head in the sand and did nothing, in fact our embassies had been bombed in a number of places prior to this.
It was actually President Clinton who declared war on Osama and then Madlyn Albright convinced Clinton to warn the Pakistani government we were coming, who told him, then Osama declared war on America.
But we were too concerned about the constitutional rights of folks who were not Americans, who hated the U.S. to even do any prevention methods or intelligence. Bush sadly enough just inherited the mess. ( The movie "Charlie Wilson's War" is really worth watching. ) It does give a lot of historical perspective.
Oh great Lordy Lordy's back - why aren't you advocating killing democrats and liberals today? Please enough about Clinton.
I've never advocated killing Democrats nor liberals, in fact I'm not even a Republican....so please...
spin spin spin!!!
keep trying to sell it. but hardly anyone's still buying it.
"I believe the title was, Bin Laden Determined to Attack Inside the United States."

You bet your ass is was. If I'd been President and when they would've hit me with that news. I would've excused myself from reading to the kids and got my ass and those of my cabinet running to mobilize our defenses. Naw, all we got out of that dumb ass was a dear in the headlights look.
That whold adminsitration is dumb ass. They saw the signs and did nothing
so true AbuAmirah - GWB probably pooped his pants. He sat there and sat there and sat there - like you said like a deer caught in the headlights. He had AirForce1 fly him all around the country. He is such a chicken guts chickenshit coward.
Yeah, he flew right into Iraq for Thanksgiving Dinner with some of the troops. while they were under fire. He's a real coward all right, in fact most of our military has 95% more respect for this President than the last. They at least know he cares.
I can say some who have never been to war, nor served in a combat role, have no clue what not only the fear but the reaction to it have upon you. You might not only pee your pants but poop them as well, but if you do not kill your enemy, they will kill you. So dirty drawers and all, you will do your job. Everyone who has ever been in combat is scared. Anyone who says they weren't is either a liar or they were never there.
Lordy Lordy you are a total cuckoo bird.
It was a photo op only and a plastic turkey. I'm sure that was real satisfying.
if you eat plastic turkey do you still get gas afterwards?
The difference Darlings, is President Bush acted, the Impeached One didn't even notice. He never even visited the bombing site. Well, he was pretty busy, making his legacy.
He was too busy making sure his face was in the mirror, making his drama entrance, smiling, and hoping his wife will get him a new spot in the white house so he can order more cigars?
I was really grateful when the white trash left the white house, and even though I'm not a right winger nor a left winger, I hope we do get someone in the white house who cares about this country and its future.
But well said aniokly....
how has bush acted?
by not capturing and killing the so-called 911 mastermind, even though the enitre world knows where he's hiding out (pakistan)?
by attacking iraq (nothing to do with 911)?
by applying 20th century solutions (ie: massive military) to 21st century problems?
by (still) failing to properly fund first responders? even taking money away from bomb detection security research?
by making a nifty color-coded warning sytem so they can tell you when to be afraid at their convenience (usually around election time)?
I could go on, but what's the use?
you
are
totally
delusional
"seems you forgot who was asleep at the wheel when 911 happened."
...SURE,just like FDR was snoozin' with one eye open at Pearl...
If FDR had received a memo from the previous administration titled "Japan Determined to Attack American Military Bases" outlining the Japanese threat with steps to what should be done, I'm sure FDR would've done something about it.
He certainly wouldn't have gone on vacation and never read it.
time to get real. bush failed America.
once again you fail to get my post... maybe i should have said with one eye open & lookin' the other way...
Wasn't there a movie called "The enemy within?" oops my question was meant to be posted one up below anioklys.
That makes no sense whatsoever.
thats just stupid
Actually he is fear mongering to get people who are afraid of their own shadows to vote for him. You folks will gladly give up your rights in exchange for a sense of security. At the end of the day, people like Rudy will take our rights and provide no security.
We defeated the Teleban and had Al Queda on the run. Then Bush showed his true colors and in typical Bush fashion screwed everything up and hurt the USA. The oil companies are ok with him. So too is China and India. The Dollar is in the toilet. We are not stronger now than before 9-11.
so be afraid bobo!!!
(no really, if you're not afraid, rudy's scare tactic fear-mongering simply won't work on you)
We all know who the real enemys is. But we have nothing to fear but fear itself.
so get a grip and grow a pair.
meanwhile, rudy is trying to get us all scared for his own political ends. and if you don't see you're being maniplulated, well then, you simply ain't too bright.
and the fear-mongering only works on you if you were a scaredy-cat to begin with.
BOO!!
BoBo in Texas,
Do you also believe that Osama bin Laden is still alive?
He's living in a condo in Houston, right next door to JFK and Elvis! I thought everyone knew that.
"He knows, unlike so many commenters here, who the enemy is."
That's not true. It's just that they feel that we Conservatives are the enemy.
Methinks you have "Conservatives" and "Neocon led Republicans" mixed up.
You guys are
That response says it ALL!
The sad part is that Rudy Giuliani is probably telling the truth but the left wing activists are so intent on their agenda they are actually betraying this country.
I'm not even a George Bush fan but at least he did something, which the last administration ( I believe Clinton was the name?) didn't even notice.
There are over 60 Mosques in the Houston area alone now, almost that many in the Chicago area. We've allowed them to build them here, but there is not one Christian Church in any of these countries. WHO ARE THE FOOLS? You've invited the wolves to sleep among the sheep. They are not peaceful people. Anyone with any common sense can see that. Even a blind squirrel can find an acorn.
"You've invited the wolves to sleep among the sheep. They are not peaceful people."
SO ESSENTIALLY YOU ARE saying that all Muslims are perpetrating perpetual war.Must be hard on a man who has to raise a family,educate the kids,etc. etc.,constantly dealing violent conflict,looking over the shoulder.
... it's my take that two fundamentalist camps are at war with each other,and that in a sense would be a fait accompli within the definition,nes pas...; fund'MENTAL'ists working out a necessarily reciprocating sociopathy on a group level,as the rest of the sane world is dragged along for a hairy ride indeed... both camps commonly using the logic if your not with us,yer agin' us.... i won't use an common epithet for moi-self in the hopes that i sincerely don't offend a fundamentalist here,instead supplanting with a milder 'SHEESH'... [or 'crickey'...]
When are you going to advocate the killing of us loonie lefties you cuckoo bird Lordy Lordy?
It is too bad that he made himself completely irrelevant by going so over the top with this ad.
He has a valid point with islam being a danger, I don't know about any of his other politics, but he would have made a strong defense candidate. Unlike Osama will if he continues his unfortunate success of the past weekend.
How will he make a strong defense candidate? Bush invaded Iraq, Giuliani is going to invade the UAE? How about Bahrain? While making business deals with the Saudis & driving oil prices sky high?
I didn't say he would have been the best overall candidate. However, atleast he recognizes the threat from islamofascists. Most of the other candidates refuse to touch that subject or to acknowledge it. RG did have first hand experience in dealing with the issues related to security following 9/11, none of the other candidates had that first hand experience.
No violent conflict is ever won without an appropriate mix of defense and an offense. We need to target enemy in their playing field while also cleaning house within our own borders, tightening border security etc.
The fact that he approved this ad reflects very poorly on him though and not likely to get my vote unless his opponent is much worse than him.
Really? So is Giuliani going to conduct business dealings with the Saudis which the Bush family has done since around 2 decades? Is Giuliani going to invade a country like Iraq which had nothing to do w/Terrorism per se? & direct our troops to die in a a war in a ME country for oil/profits for Bush/Cheney etc.? Is Giuliani, like Bush/Cheney have done, going to give a green signal to companies like Halliburton? So they can establish offices in Asia where they can sell oil @ twice the market rate? Which is a lot more then the Iraqis sold the oil for in Asia before Bush invaded Iraq? Is Giuliani going to give PM Musharaf billions to fight a war against "Terror" which Musharraf is certainly not going to take any part in?
No Ghouliani would have made a strong offensive not defensive candidate. We need to be on the defense - not on the offense as Ghouliani would have it.
Tessylo
Speaking about Giuliani's offensive vs defensive capabilities, can we try him out for a football team instead?
Who is the enemy? Iraqui's or the Saudias that funded and manned 9/11... and arrest people that speak against their leaders!!!
After seeing this I can only say- Please America - we are not all power crazy in NY only former mayors with meglomania are
You obviously have not met Hillary?
Wouldnt this ad, technically, be classified as terroristic?
Obviously many of you have no clue what a terrorist is.
Sadly enough, if you continue with your head in the sand, I believe you may soon find out. BUT the question is? Will you fight back or just cower in fear?
You ought to take a quick little trip over to some of these countries, like Iran, Iraq, Syria, Afghanistan and see first hand for yourself. These people aren't freedom fighters, they're blowing up women and children and they don't care whose. Tell me again their words are the truth? I would think even a blind person could see through this but many cannot seem to.
