Giuliani: "We Had No Domestic Attacks Under Bush. We've Had One Under Obama"

[berni_mccoy]

He seriously spoke this lie with a straight face on Good Morning America.

Recently, Former Press Secretary Perino said: "We did not have a terrorist attack" during Bush's term.

And RNC political strategist Mary Matelin recently claimed that Bush *inherited* 9/11.

Apparently the memo has gone out to revise history. Only, it's awfully hard to lie to these people:

- The 2,973 victims of 9/11
- The 5 people killed and 17 infected with Anthrax (case never officially closed)
- The people aboard United Airlines flight 63 who shared a flight with Richard Reid (aka the shoe bomber)
- The 10 people killed and 3 people wounded by the DC Snipers

and last, but not least

- The 5298 service men and women who died in the two wars started under Bush in the name of terrorism.

Why don't these revisionist Republicans sit down and explain how we didn't have a terrorist attack under Bush to the families of these people.

Update to add video here: http://abcnews.go.com/GMA/accused-bomber-umar-farouk-abdulmutallab-due-federal-court/story?id=9510524

His lie is 58 seconds from the end.

1. Rudy was saying something similar on Larry King the other night

I turned the channel so I didn't hear it all.

[Lost4words]

2. W H A T ????

[spanone]

3. hey rudy NINE ELEVEN happened on YOUR watch, fuckhead

[The_Commonist]

16. Yeah, and then he said...

"Thank god George Bush is president."

[Octafish]

20. That really makes me mad.

Bush was the worst "president" ever.

Here's the gold standard for modern chief executives:

Thank God Jack Kennedy was President way back when.

[rurallib]

4. Don't forget the right wing inspired domestic attacks

such as the guy who went into a church in Tennessee and started shooting, and recent examples like the guy who died the other day who started shooting up a museum etc. Oddly, the media never reports nor remember attacks like these.

[berni_mccoy]

8. True, or the slaying of Dr. Tiller. These are definitely domestic terrorism attacks

[rurallib]

10. Tiller was true terrorism - constant threats etc.

For my money, the KKK and their remnant like the White citizens council are the very epitome of terrorist organizations. Yet they get no coverage from our M$M. Even the tea party dummies exhibit aspects of terrorism.

[Ian David]

12. Don't forget the Anthrax attacks, Beltway Snipers, Ed & Elaine Brown... Oh, let me go google shit...

5. On the other hand, god has not punished America with a hurricane since Obama became President. n/t

[hobbit709]

6. Two reasons

1. Lying is congenital to repukes
2. Denial is a river in Africa to them.

[bevoette]

7. they think the people that will support them are just that dumb.

i mean REALLY dumb

like they'll just hear that and be all "uh, but wait...didn't 9/11...wait, huh? no? oh, okay then. lalalaSOCIALIST!!!"


sadly...for some, they are right :(

[onehandle]

9. I trust that the interviewer politely read him the riot act.

No. Of course not.

[Dappleganger]

11. W O W

[KittyWampus]

13. Oh Rudy- YOU put NYC's Command/Control Center in a high risk target building

so you could be closer to your mistress.

[southernyankeebelle]

14. In the eyes of republicans they feel if you repeat a lie over and over it

will make it a fact. You know they learn well from The Republican Fox News Network. Repeat a lie over and over until people believe its a fact. But history shows different and dates don't lie. Rudy is an idiot if he thinks nothing happened under Bush adminstration.

[Lucy Goosey]

15. Oceania has always been at war with Eastasia

9/11 happened under a Democratic president.
Bush is a Vietnam war hero, and Kerry was a draft dodger.
Reagan was the greatest president ever.
Clinton racked up a huge deficit and Bush tax cuts saved the economy.
Dick Cheney is a nice guy who never shot anyone in the face.

It is every patriotic citizen's duty to believe these things.



(Jesus, seriously? From Giu911iani of all fucking people? Did anyone at least question him on it?)

[Stevenmarc]

17. Nothing he says surprises me, I lived under the Benito Giuliani regime

[edhopper]

18. The problem is NOT Rudy saying this,

he's a lying scumbag anyway.
The problem is that George Stefanopolis (and the rest of the Media) treat him with deference and doesn't challenge him when he says it.

[Jeff In Milwaukee]

22. I agree...

Regarding Rudy and the other Republicans -- Fish gotta swim and birds gotta fly. And Republicans are going to lie to your face at every opportunity.

But there's no excuse for Stephenapolopogous, or any other interviewer, to not cut them off and challenge that nonsense.

Can you imagine if Jimmy Carter tried to deny that Iran took hostages during his Administration?

[whathehell]

26. Agreed...This is getting seriously scary, folks....Right out of 1984

We either have respond en masse to enablers like King and Stephanopoulis until they stop allowing the blatant lies to go unchallenged, or Just Stop Watching -- after we let them know why.

[chelsea0011]

19. This is proof that these RW whack jobs are hoping for a terrorist attack

to use against Obama. A terrorist who never should have been allowed on a plane and was in the end stopped is just the ammunition the RW will use to prove a point, albeit totally wrong. They now sit back and hope for destruction to bring it all home. These people are truly sick.

[WI_DEM]

21. And My guess is that Stepenopolis or whoever never challenged that statement.

[City Lights]

23. If The Ghoul's lips are moving, he's lying.

Fuck off, Rudy. You take assholery to new heights.

Edited to add: I didn't watch the clip, but FUCK the media if they're not setting these paid GOP LIARS straight when they lie through their teeth on live television. Fuck them up, down, and sideways.

[stray cat]

24. As a NY mayor on Sept 11, 2001 its atrocious that he forgets. No one else does

[Lucy Goosey]

30. Oh, I don't think he forgets.

I think it's deliberate historical revisionism.

Any "journalist" who lets Rudy say this shit without calling him on it should be fired, but of course that won't happen.

[bananas]

25. Don't forget the anthrax attack, still unsolved, nt

[berni_mccoy]

28. Yep, it's in the list.

[SmileyRose]

27. American journalism is deader than dead - George didn't call him on it.

And George is supposed one of ABC's primo crack journalists - a real tough nugget. If George is cream of the crop then we are in serious deep shit.

[47of74]

29. God, Rudy is such an idiot

[Fire1]

31. Then WTF was 9/11? A picnic? Damn, the stupid burns! n/t

[tallahasseedem]

32. Seriously...

this is ridiculous.

[bullwinkle428]

33. This fucker has as much blood on his hands as anyone - just consider

the failure of the communications equipment that the police and fire departments were using, resulting in all of those deaths when the towers fell! :mad:

[Xenotime]

34. Proof that 9-11 WAS an inside job.

[grahamhgreen]

35. And don't forget the 45,000 killed every year by Big Insurance. (NO to the Senate HC bill)
