Rudy Giuliani's campaign has a loose cannon working for it.
Check out these quotes:
I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims. They're all Muslims."
And
"When I say get rid of them, I wasn't necessarily referring to genocide."
Read the whole article right here.
I have Muslim friends who are very patriotic and have served our nation in a variety of ways including the Armed Services. The idea that there are no good Muslims is repugnant to American values. I hope it is a matter of hours until Rudy Giuliani asks him to resign.
UPDATE: Giuliani has ditched the guy for his embarrassing remarks. Now maybe Giuliani supporters can all admit they comments were out there.
Resign? You're probably looking at the next head of FEMA if Rudy Giuliani is elected.
You see Brian,
Disasters to Republicans are a cleansing thing. It's a fresh start. Time to do a little social engineering. We need people like Mr. Deadly to shape the world the way Republicans want it after man made (Iraq war) and natural (Katrina) disasters.
Don't you see Brian disasters are opportunities to make money and get rid of unwanted people. Republicans need ignorant heartless people to run things because a normal person has understanding and might have a conscience.
I hope the crusade period in American history is drawing to a close. This kind of hogwash doesn't belong in mainstream American politics.
Good Lord, nobody, you give liberals a bad name. Such conspiratorial motives we Republicans exist for, huh? Hopefully, you can continue to enlighten us with your thoughtful dissertations on the American political landscape.
Mongo,
Do you agree the views of the Giuliani supporter are repugnant?
I think you'll have a hard time finding anybody who agrees with that viewpoint.
Brian, of course, I agree that his comments were way out of line and, I don't believe represent Giuliani's views at all. I certainly hope Rudy denounces them as such as well. Had he substituted the words "Islamic militants" for "Muslims" in his comments, I would have agreed with him 100%.
Such is the case in a political campaign. Often times, people who purport to represent your views as a candidate shoot their mouths off (like this guy did) and they are interpreted as the candidate's views. You have very little control over this, as a candidate. These clearly are not Rudy's views, however, in this case, and I hope he speaks out about it soon to put the matter to rest.
He clearly is a racist xenophobe. Being that he thinks there isn't one good Muslim I wonder what attracted him to Rudy Giuliani's campaign? What did Rudy do to earn his racist support and why did Rudy promote him so far in his campaign?
This guy is a bigot.
What is it about Rudy and the people he promotes. Kerik to Homeland Security and this guy as the symbol of his veterans policy. I have news for him. Are military isn't full of racists like this person.
Rudy isn't ready for prime time and this shows it yet again. After he loses Iowa, New Hampshire, and a few more states the spotlight will be off of him forever.
Even though Mongo is likely by most to be considered far right even he recognizes that Giuliani's campaign member is a bigot.
Makes you wonder about people that dare not comment.
