The former mayor said if a Democrat is elected, "it sounds to me like we're going on defense. We're going to wave the white flag there."

But, he said, if a Republican wins, "we will remain on offense" trying to anticipate what the terrorists are going to do and "trying to stop them before they do it."



When one has nothing to offer, some resort to appealing to fear. Tried and true, but maybe they can't fool enough people this time around.

Same rhetoric...different speaker; reaching out to the basic emotional core of most humans.

Fear sells. Truth dies. The beginnings of totalatarianism. Orwell may have been off by 40 or 50 years.

well.. the confusion is that Rudy is the real deal. His talk could have been used when he was tracking gangsters. Even when he would be tracking white collar crime the NY Times was low key with him or see reader and policy failure.

If history is prolog and Rudy wins the Dem smear machine is dead meat along with the terrorists . Mass media will be cheering him on.

Al Goriphobia, classic

Keith Olbermann delivered a blistering counter-attack to Rudy Giuliani's insane declaration that America will almost certainly suffer another 9/11 under Democratic leadership - but not under Republican. Not only does KO point out the obvious about who prevented what on 9/11, but digs deep into Rudy's abysmal record as Republian mayor.

Lets see, who was the group who said if aRepublican wins black churchs will burn??

If Rudy is going to spew this kind of hate-fear speech, he better have the same for the current admin broken border policy and have his own plan for sealing our borders and our ports.

Otherwise he looks like a buffoon.

You can't fight them over there if you have open borders over here.

Olbermann's vid is great. He must be taking Rudy serious or he wouldn't waste face time. He'll be singing that tune every day if Rudy wins.


btw.. Harry Reid will soon be announcing who the winner of the war is.

Oh my God we're going to die in ten years if we don't do something about the environment.

If Reagan is elected he'll start WWIII.
