Yesterday, I posted something here about Rudy Giuliani’s repeated suggestion that, up until Obama took office, Republican presidents had kept us safe from terrorism, ignoring the fact that the 9/11 attacks, which happened during the second Bush administration, took place when he was Mayor of New York City, seven years before Obama took office. Well, I know it’s in incredibly bad taste, but something about this comment, which was left earlier today by a reader calling himself John Galt, really got me thinking about what other evil Obama might be responsible for according to Rudy Giuliani.
I know I can do better, but here’s the best thing that I’ve been able to come up with so far. “What possessed Barack Obama to hire the Hell Angles,” I imagine Giuliani screaming as he smashes his fists onto the podium, “to handle security at Altamont?”
Or maybe it should be something about the Lindberg baby. I don’t know. Give me some time to work on it.

Picture this. Rudy Giuliani calls a press conference, takes the stage, unveils an enlarged, grainy photo of Obama holding a Coke bottle, and announces, “I’d like to announce that I’m reopening the Fatty Arbuckle case.”
“Why has Obama refused to try on the gloves from the OJ trial? What’s he hiding?”
An old man reads some words one time that are not true=
A man is trying to revise an aspect of 9/11 history=
A group is trying to revise an aspect of 9/11 history=
If you repeat something untrue enough it becomes true=
Hitler
To rescue me from thinking you are a bunch of Glenn beck juniors please shown me instances of what the old man read being repeated more than this one time. Did other people say what Giuliani read? Did Giuliani say it more than once?
Your wish is my command, Frosty.
“We had no domestic attacks under Bush” – Rudy Guiliani, 2010
http://markmaynard.com/2010/01/we-had-no-domestic-attacks-under-bush/
I am not denying revisionist history exists.
In 2010 Giuliani could have been interpreted as meaning”under Bush no attacks post 9/11″…Which is of course still an untrue statement and likely a calculated manipulation of language. But it is still drastically different than the explicit statement that Obama was president during 9/11 attacks–by an old man who seems out of sorts ( dementia?) and reading words with a glossed over look in his eye. Are people defending Giuliani’s recent statement? Are people explicitly repeating the claim that Obama was president during 9/11. I really don’t know. That would be scary. I doubt it. But I really don’t know.
Why did Obama cancel Cagney and Lacy?
Why, on November 17, 1968, did Obama decide to break away from the Raiders – Jets game to show Heidi? We need the truth.
Give up trying to be clever, Mark. You do better as a straight man to support the real talent here. John Galt. Westside. EOS.
EOS has been quite unkind, real talent…no…not at all. John Galt…who is John Galt, because that is just a nom de plume, right? A way to make a point without revealing his real name either…try your real names sometimes and see what happens. And then try reporting. Real facts..the reception will be quite cold. Just ask around.
The only non real person I will read in this site intently is Frosted
Flakes, and he is just nice, and you know what .frosted Flakes, sometimes people are just lying assholes and they get to be superintendents.
See, in life you or I, anyway, have to have to decide what I am going to take my hits for, and in this case I am drawing the foul for her posting that video with that little Matthew kid, looking forlorn at camp while the adult smirks about teaching kids to dismantle computers.
So much talent here it’s hard to give credit to everyone who deserves it. Well played, Maria. “Who is John Galt” is simply brilliant. You and Mark are straight man black belts!
Please call me Stupid Hick. I prefer to keep my slave name secret.
Yeah stupid hick I do not get your joke…so in conclusion Rudy Giuliani is an a lying asshole. Oh, well. Maria Huffman
Oh. The book from Barnes and Noble. Yes it has typos in it, more than a couple…I would never buy a book from them again personally.
I bought a puzzle from that store and the puzzle pieces did not all fit together, though the picture and colors matched, two pieces exactly in the jigsaw puzzle were cut incorrectly. I guess they did not get the memo that 2012 over.
Oops, sorry, I thought you were joking. Oh, and I agree Giuliani is an asshole.
“John Galt (/ɡɔːlt/) is a character in Ayn Rand’s novel Atlas Shrugged (1957). Although he is not identified by name until the last third of the novel, he is the object of its often-repeated question “Who is John Galt?” and of the quest to discover the answer.”
Uh oh, all this talk of Barnes and Noble and puzzles is making me nervous. Stupid Hick out.
Oh. Never read the book. I do not ever intend to,either.
No Maria,
I’ve never been unkind. But I do post contrary opinions frequently. Probably has something to do with reading a lot of books.
EOS, I’ll accept that you don’t mean to be unkind but you never know just how you look in other people’s eyes. Everyone should keep an open mind to criticism from their neighbors, even from anonymous internet trolls. Consider that God may be trying to reach you through them. I don’t really understand everything Maria was trying to say earlier but in all seriousness it was starting to freak me out because fragments seemed divinely inspired.
Stupid hick..you are sweet!!!
