[Mom of soldier in Iraq] riled by Guiliani remark

[Tab]

"No matter how you try to blame it on the president, the actual responsibility for it really would be for the troops that were there. Did they search carefully enough? Didn't they search carefully enough?" he said on NBC's "Today" show.

That rankled Eleanor Kjellman of Henniker, an Air Force veteran whose son Kurt is an Army reservist in the Mideast.

"That was such a demoralizing, destructive statement for Rudolph Guiliani to make. Once again they (the troops) are scapegoats for the administration's failures," she said at a Democratic protest before a planned appearance by Guiliani in Bedford.

[dave502d]

2. Guiliani show his true self.

Blame it on the soldier,their fault for getting kill to.

[juliagoolia]

5. could not have happened to a worse opportunist

A guy that just happened to still be in office by accident when the towers hit has been milking it ever since..him and * are rotten to the core for exploiting the nations worst tragedy for political spin and fear mongering.

[maddezmom]

7. where have we heard about denigrating the troops before???

oh yes, it was *....make sure Rudy gets the meme next time.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

8. Being a Republican means you never admit you're wrong

[sweetladybug]

9. Jesus Bush isn't the blame for anything. Anything that happens

is someone else's fault. He's perfect and makes no mistakes.

[sweetladybug]

10. Hey I just notice I hit 900 post

ELECT KERRY AND EDWARDS 2004!!!!

[PartyPooper]

Hadn't you heard?

[VegasWolf]

12. How can this clown have ANY credibility? He was already kicked

out of office when 9/11 came along. If not for 9/11
he would be nothing more than the guy who tried to "mickey Mouse"
Times Square. Sure they moved the porno business 10 blocks away,
but big deal. And what exactly did this genius do at 9/11
besides parrot whatever awol said. give me a break!

New Information Shows Bush Indecisive, Paranoid, Delusional

[MisterP]

[DeepModem Mom]

[bvar22]

15. As Jon Stewart said on tonight's Daily Show:

"Finally, a politician with enough courage to support the War, but blame the troops!"

[Carolab]

17. Guiliani

was in on the plot on 9/11 IMO. What's he gonna do next--blame the firemen for the towers' collapse?

[maddezmom]

20. Jon always knows how to say it in simple terms.....

Statement by Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani

10/28/2004 6:24:00 PM
To: National Desk, Political Reporter
Contact: Bush/Cheney 2004 Press Office, 703-647-2790; Web: http://www.georgewbush.com

ARLINGTON, Va., Oct. 28 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Former Mayor Rudy Giuliani today issued the following statement:

"We don't need someone who voted against funding our troops during war to take my remarks out of context. Like the President I wholeheartedly support our troops. If John Edwards is looking for someone who is blaming our troops without the facts, he need look no further than his running mate, John Kerry."

Oh spare us your bullshit Rudy. You f'ing asshole.

[truthisfreedom]

19. oh, that's effective. right, you are, giuliani. you start your statement

with distortion, then build up with more distortion, then end it with lies. everyone loves you again! woohoo! NOT. SCHMUCK.

[Gardeaux08]

29. I just love

the way every time they say something inflammatory, it's not because they meant it. It's always "taken out of context".

[Skittles]

21. surely Mr. Guiliani never served

I think what he said about the troops was obscene.

[JoFerret]

22. Classic Guiliani

Now THAT is what New York had to endure all those years. Examples abound of this blame and shoot off the mouth behavior from the man wh0 - like Bush - was rescued by 9/11.

[mbperrin]

23. There goes Rudy! All part of his "no microphone left

behind" schtick!

[The Zanti Regent]

24. WHEN will the WHORE PRESS STOP BLOWING THIS IDIOT????????

When will they stop blowing this Nazi?

WHEN??????

[msanthrope]

25. Oh, C'mon!!! Not now, when it's just getting good!!!

I mean, now is the prime time to shove microphones in The Ghoul's face.


Who knows what's coming out next...

[The White Tree]

27. Is it just me....

I can't take Guiliani seriously anymore. Not just because he has becaume such a republican whore but have you ever noticed that more and more he is beginning to resemble in physical apperance Uncle Leo from Seinfeld.:silly:

[loyalsister]

28. Oh the irony!

He was just in Missouri stumping for Matt Blunt. Blunt is basically running on "soldier" status. I know he was in the Naval Academy. I can't remember all of the other details. But, every ad features pictures of him in uniform.
