Der RudyFuhrer ridicules a man with Parkinson's during radio call-in show

Rudy Giuliani makes fun of a man with Parkinson’s during radio call in…
By: John Amato on Saturday, February 24th, 2007 at 1:30 PM - PST



The importance of this video clip comes from Rudy's attacks on Welfare and the poor when he was mayor: "Judge Delays Giuliani Plan On Welfare"

Ruling that the Giuliani administration had overlooked the ''urgent needs'' of the poor in its zeal to overhaul welfare, a Federal judge barred city officials yesterday from expanding their tough new welfare policies until they can guarantee prompt access to food stamps and Medicaid applications…read on

The video comes from the movie " Giuliani Time." John Bynes, who called in and complained to Giuliani because he needed food stamps and medication to live at a time when Rudy's policies were having dire consequences to people like John. Rudy just laughs him off…UP: Did Rudy know about John's condition? Probaby not, but he knew what was happening to people just like John who got caught up in the cross-hairs of his policies…

Washington Post

"When "Giuliani Time" gives a glimpse of this Giuliani, it's mesmerizing. So, the smiling mayor fields a phone call during his weekly radio show. The caller is angry about city cuts to food stamps and Medicare aid for the disabled. Hizzoner is a pit bull to the chase.

"Hey, John," Giuliani tells his caller, "what kind of hole are you in? There's something that's really wrong with you. . . . We'll send you psychiatric help because you really need it."

As it happens, the caller, John Hynes, needs real help. A disabled lawyer, he suffers from Parkinson's disease, and he's had his benefits cut off and he's running out of medicine.


Nothing chills the blood so thoroughly as the sight of a powerful man turned gleeful bully."

1. As disgusting as it is, let Rudy keep on talkin'!

He's slowly digging his own grave.

[Fridays Child]

2. That's exactly what warms the cockles of the GOP heart.

Mocking the disabled. :nuke:

[TreasonousBastard]

3. That's my Rudy, and why...

he'll shoot himself in the foot as soon as he stops running on 9/11.

Even NYC was getting tired of his arrogant bullshit. And NYC loves arrogant bullshit, just not his.

[Atman]

4. I hate that man. That the GOP seems to love him is very telling

One of the worst, most hypocritical, lying scumbag douches in American politics, who's only claim to "fame" is that 3000 Americans died in his city while he was mayor. Any republic should be ashamed of themselves for even giving this fucking tool the time of day, let alone their vote to the highest office in the land.

[Pushed To The Left]

5. Definitely not the "liberal Republican" he'll try to portray himself as in 2008!

We need to make sure these guys never get a chance to appoint another SC Justice!

[Ian David]

6. Well, The Republick Party believes handicapped people deserve it

What the Bible says about Handicapped People

Ex.4:11
Who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?

Lev.21:17-23
Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries.

What the Bible says about Blind People

God makes people blind.

"Who maketh the dumb, or deaf, or the seeing, or the blind? have not I the LORD?" -- Exodus 4:11

Sometimes he even makes animals blind.

"In that day, saith the LORD, I will smite every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes and ... smite every horse of the people with blindness." -- Zechariah 12:4

And he'll make you blind too if you don't follow the Old Testament's laws.

"The LORD shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart." -- Deuteronomy 28:28

You should ask God to make your enemies blind. (It worked for Paul.)

"Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake." -- Psalm 69:23

"The hand of the Lord is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind. ... And immediately there fell on him a mist and a darkness; and he went about seeking some to lead him by the hand." -- Acts 13:11

But don't sacrifice blind animals to God. It is evil.

"If ye offer the blind for sacrifice, is it not evil?" -- Malachi 1:8

Blind people cannot approach the altar of God.

"Whosoever ... hath any blemish, let him not approach to offer the bread of his God. For whatsoever man he be that hath a blemish, he shall not approach: a blind man, or a lame, or he that hath a flat nose, or any thing superfluous, Or a man that is brokenfooted, or brokenhanded, Or crookbackt, or a dwarf, or that hath a blemish in his eye, or be scurvy, or scabbed, or hath his stones broken; No man that hath a blemish of the seed of Aaron the priest shall come nigh to offer the offerings of the LORD made by fire: he hath a blemish; he shall not come nigh to offer the bread of his God. ... Only he shall not go in unto the vail, nor come nigh unto the altar, because he hath a blemish; that he profane not my sanctuaries." -- Leviticus 21:17-23

David can't stand the sight of blind people. Whoever kills them will be rewarded.

"And David said on that day, Whosoever ... smiteth ... the blind that are hated of David's soul, he shall be chief and captain. Wherefore they said, The blind and the lame shall not come into the house." -- 2 Samuel 5:8

7. Hey! This is Rudy Ghouliani!

He wants to be the reich wing candidate of choice come next year.

[alfredo]

8. He's a perfect fit for the Patrician Party.

9. Also, in the Video forum: Giuliani makes fun of a man with Parkinson's Disease

11. I saw that. Let them eat cake.

10. Recommending.

Thanks for the link you gave in the Political Videos Forum. :thumbsup:

13. Anti-German crap again

It's really time for DU to stop this childishness. And it's past time for the moderators to start locking threads that do this.

[Clark2008]

14. Anti-German??

Der Furer is NAZI - not German.

I think most people know this. Or should.

If you're equating Hitler to all of Germany, you have the problem - not the OP.

[DavidDvorkin]

15. Fuehrer is a German word

Used with a special meaning by the Nazis but nonetheless with a legitimate usage in German.

On DU, it's used as a slur against politicians, but so are other legitimate German words. Recently, someone used Frau that way.

This has all passed beyond Nazi references to using German or pseudo-German words as a slur. And it's gone much too far.

[Ian David]

17. That was me who used "Frau," because I didn't know the feminine version of "Fuhrer."

Fuhrerette?

I'm open to suggestions.

[DavidDvorkin]

20. Probably Fuehrerin

Don't leave out the e after the u, in either the masculine or feminine version of the word, if you're doing the umlaut (two dots above the u).

Frau simply means either woman or wife.

[Ian David]

21. Thank you. I'll try and use Fuehrerin from now on.

I hope that puts you at ease?

Now, I have to go respond to the guy who got mad that I referred to Bob Novak as "Count Novakula," because he feels it's insulting to Romanians.

[liberaldemocrat7]

19. My ancestors came from Germany. I don't mind if people use Fuhrer, etc.

I call the ex mayor Adolf Ghouliani

or Rudolf Ghouliani

Il Duce

Rudolf Hooligani

Look at this pic a cartoonist did about Rude He

[Ian David]

22. I've got a German last name myself. n/t

[Ian David]

16. It's not anti-German. It's anti-Nazi.

I happen to be of German descent myself.

[Ninja Jordan]

18. I agree. I'm so tired of the "der fuhrer" crap used to refer to republicans.
