RUDY GIULIANI - DRAFTDODGER

“If Giuliani is the nominee, we’re going to hammer him with ads, and it’s going to be easy because the issue is simple: He’s a draft dodger,” says Jon Soltz, an Iraq vet who served as a captain and runs VoteVets.org, a left-leaning version of Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. “Giuliani gets a zero-zero,” says General Wesley Clark, an adviser to the group. “He wasn’t willing to risk his life for his country, and he has no relevant experience that’s in any way useful to be commander-in-chief. He hosted the U.N. and had a large police force.”

Look, I could care less if someone chose to dodge the draft, it was way before my time anyway. But FUCK THESE HYPOCRITICAL NEOCON CHICKENHAWKS beating the war drums to send others to war while having the audacity to try and think they can take the moral high ground on who "loves America". These so called 'America-lovers' are the same ones offshoring their money and outsourcing jobs. Giuliani is a ghoul!

Does FOX News fund terrorism?

I was reading this article titled 'Pre-9/11 Ties Haunt Saudis as New Accusations Surface' and in it states, speaking about Al Qaeda donors: "A third prominent name Mr. Moussaoui listed was Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, a fabulously wealthy investor who whose television channels air racy music videos and who employs men and women side by side in his offices". A quick google search shows that Prince Alwaleed is the 2nd largest shareholder of NewsCorp behind the Murdoch family. Now, the Prince didn't take stock until 2008 I believe, but is still accused of donating millions to Al Qaeda in the 80s and 90s, and possibly even still to this day(?)

Of course he denies the accusation by pointing out that Moussaoui was deemed criminally insane (even though he helped strategically plan 9/11), but that is obviously what one would say when denying such allegations, and it seems no one is really following his or the Saudi's money (Didn't Bush even fly Saudi's out on 9/11?). Could it be possible that every advertiser that runs commercials on FOXNews which makes shareholders richer is unknowingly funding terrorism, or am I over-thinking this? Also, pretty crazy to think 2 foreign media moguls, an Australian and a Saudi Prince, teamed up in 2008 to make money bashing the US President while the so-called 'patriots' (pinheads) sit on their couches making money for foreigners to bash the Prez 24/7.
