Trump supporter Rudy Giuliani says: There were no terrorist attacks in the U.S. until 'Obama came along'

Original post made by Trump's Insanity clearly contagious, Portola Valley: Portola Valley Ranch, on Aug 15, 2016

Rudy (Mr. "noun, verb & 9/11")Giuliani, Mayor of NYC. On Sept 11, 2001. Moron.

Says there were no terrorist attacks in the U.S. until 'Obama came along'

Omigawd. Is every Republican left in the GOP just insane?

Shall we just bury the carcass of the GOP, now, and call it a day?

Video (because audio just doesn't cut it with this level of cra-cra.) Web Link



Rudy Giuliani for the 8 years after 9/11: "There's only three things he mentions in a sentence: a noun, a verb and 9/11."

Lord help us.

Rudy is an idiot - new yorkers know it; he put the emergency command center in WTC1, after the first wtc bombing. Also gave police crappy radios so they couldn't communicate.

Notice he talks everywhere except new york?

Wonder if Rudy counts the 17 embassy attacks with 60 dead under Bush, as Clinton's fault?

@menlo: "I know it doesn't fit the left wing echo chamber but"

Wow. That's an even worse indictment of Giuliani and Trump surrogates.

Rudy talks about 9/11, and then a moment later says: "There were no terrorist attacks in the U.S. until 'Obama came along' "

That's a ridiculous level of lying.

So Rudy goes: "blah blah (9/11) blah blah (now ignore 9/11) blah blah OBAMA!!!!"

“Under those eight years, before Obama came along, we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,”

“They all started when Clinton and Obama got into office,"


Liar.


Or maybe he has "challenges"?

"Giuliani, who suffered a mysterious head injury earlier this month, also appeared to forget what state Pence was the governor of."

"Rudy Giuliani appears on national TV with giant head bump"

"You know better than I do what a great governor he is of your state,” Giuliani told the Ohio crowd."

Web Link


C'mon, Menlo, surely you want to use the head trauma defense rather than the "he didn't mean it" defense.

No, I just posted something I didn't read. Duh. Yes, I read it. Obviously you didn't.

"Some outlets, such as New York City-based blog Gothamist initially mocked what was framed as a mortifying omission on Giuliani's part but later walked back the assessment after a video of the former mayor's complete remarks emerged, noting that "it appears Rudy is specifically referring to the eight years after Bush signed the Patriot Act" (on 26 October 2001).

NBC Nightly News editor Bradd Jaffy shared the most relevant portion of that longer clip, which contained important context as well as documenting that Giuliani indeed talked about 9/11 and was referring to the [nearly] eight years after that event (i.e., the remainder of President George W. Bush's administration) as the period in which "we didn’t have any successful radical Islamic terrorist attack in the United States":"

You need to read it again. And take of the left wing echo chamber blinders this time.

“Under those EIGHT years, BEFORE Obama came along, we didn’t have ANY successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,”

“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"

Nice double somersault into a back flip by the Rudy apologist above. Even the RUSSIAN judge gave you a ten! (get it? the RUSSIAN judge! if you don't, just ask Paul Manafort...)

Yes, Rudy acknowledged 9/11 earlier in his speech. This just proves he knew he was going to LIE.

Hence the abbreviated Rudy: "blah blah (9/11) blah blah (now ignore 9/11) blah blah OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!"


"I'm the 9/11 hero" Then Rudy LIED (again) by saying:

“Under those EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT EIGHT years, BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE BEFORE Obama came along, we didn’t have ANY ANY ANY ANY ANY successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,”

“THEY ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"



With apologies to Chico: Who are you going to believe, (the Rudy apologists) or your lying eyes?




Next up, we have the apologist Menlo Voter defending Paul Manafort and his lobbying for Vladimir Putin and inviting the dictator Putin to get involved in OUR elections!

Bonus feature: apologist Menlo then tells us that Trump has Presidential Level JUDGEMENT!

But first, the apologist takes one last stab at defending Guiliani's lies!

Stay tuned!

I am sorry. I should not be toying with Menlo Voter, as much as I want to see his next contortion. And his defense of Russian judges and the criminal Paul Manafort that Trump choose to be his future Chief-of-staff.

In Bush pretzeldential-speak: "Judgements! Like my Harriot Miers SCROTUS pik!"

But let's end it here.


"blah blah (9/11) blah blah (now ignore 9/11) blah blah OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!OBAMA!


Officially: “Under those EIGHT years, BEFORE Obama came along, we didn’t have ANY successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,”

“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"


Rudy told the same lie for years and gets corrected every time (most vividly in 2010.)

He is a LIAR and he knows it. All thinking humans know Rudy is a congenital liar, one might say a Trumpian level Liar. NOTHING should be believed when it comes from Rudy. Ask ANY New Yorker.

“Under those EIGHT years, BEFORE Obama came along, we didn’t have ANY successful radical Islamic terrorist attack inside the United States,”

“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"

“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"

“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"



- 9/11

- The ANTHRAX attacks - 5 dead

- The Shoe Bomber (thank that one for TSA shoes!)

- 2002 Los Angeles Airport shooting

- 2002 Beltway sniper - John Allen Muhammad

- 2006 Seattle Jewish Federation shooting

- 2006 University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill attack



“THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office"



Been fun. Thanks for playing. Next time don't pick a weasel upon which to make your stand.

Rudy?!? You lost from the get-go.

Rudy also said 2 days ago....

Donald Trump's Milwaukee speech last night was "the best speech that ANY REPUBLICAN at the least HAS EVER GIVEN" - Rudy Giuliani to Fox

Web Link

Maybe Rudy Giuliani was using “abbreviated language” again.

Rudy. Too easy.

Rudy is tired of trying to defend his “THEY ALL STARTED WHEN Clinton and Obama got into office" kerfuffle.

So now he's on the internet-crazies new meme - Hillary is sick! Really sick! Youbetcha!

So sick! Didn't you see her 11 hours of testimony video where she kicked the Republicans a... wait a minute - just look at our new chopped-up-old-video clips!


"When Fox News Sunday host Shannon Bream asked Giuliani about Trump's lagging poll numbers, Giuliani responded ...
"She has an entire media empire that…fails to point out several signs of illness by her. All you got to do is go online."

Bream countered that Clinton's campaign has vehemently denied the unsubstantiated claims she is in poor health, releasing medical records last year to prove her fitness.

"Go online and put down, ‘Hillary Clinton illness,' and take a look at the videos yourself," Giuliani responded.


Rudy, in drag, with Donald trying on perfume. Seriously. And he wanted to be president back then! Who looks ill, now? Web Link

Judgement.


Where's your health records, Trump?

Where's your tax returns?

You are getting beat by a girl. A girl who has released her health records and 40 years of tax returns.

Loser!

Sad!

Someone once said that liberalism is a mental disorder. Truer words were never spoken. I am not talking about traditional liberalism but what it has morphed into. Liberals consistently lie about Donald Trump. Admittedly he was the penultimate GOP primary candidate with only Ted Cruz being worse. However when compared to the Clinton Criminal Foundation, Hillary's numerous scandals, and her egregious dishonesty Trump is the better of the two candidates-0 which isn't saying much. However there were 15 GOP candidates who were far better than Trump.

On the Democratic side, Bernie is a socialist, but he is an honest man. He would deal in good faith with the American Public and you can take him at his word. The best Democratic candidate Jim Webb dropped out early. I would have voted for either Bernie or Jim Webb over Donald Trump. But Hillary? Please, Rasputin was more trustworthy than Hillary.

"However there were 15 GOP candidates who were far better than Trump."

* Then you have a problem, don't you? You are supporting an evil loser not as qualified as the oh-so-presidential Ben Carson, Jeb Bush, Bridgegate Christie, etc.. Please excuse our snickering.

"Liberals consistently lie about Donald Trump"

* By using Trump's own words. Mendacious Liberals! Using facts and things to LIE!! Again, please excuse our snickering.

"Clinton Criminal Foundation"

* Which is very highly rated by all the independent ratings agencies for non-profits. Better than a lot of non-profits that scam under the guise of helping our brave vets. Web Link


Why do so many Ku Klux Klan members support Trump? "A lot of what he believes, we believe in."

Thanks for defending the LEADER of the Republican Party - Donald J. Trump.

The Party of Lincoln, now is the Party of Trump.

You own it. You can never again claim Family Values, Patriotism or the Constitution - Trump took those away from you. And you supported him in his ruining of those issues for his new Republican Fiasco Network.

You had your chance to denounce him. Good-bye.
