Giuliani cites Bible on personal life
By LIBBY QUAID, Associated Press Writer

WASHINGTON - Republican presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani compared the scrutiny of his personal life marked by three marriages to the biblical story of how Jesus dealt with an adulterous woman.

In an interview posted online Friday, Giuliani was questioned about his family and told the Christian Broadcasting Network, "I think there are some people that are very judgmental."

Giuliani has a daughter who indicated support for Democrat Barack Obama and a son who said he didn't speak to his father for some time. Giuliani's messy divorce from their mother, Donna Hanover, was waged publicly while Giuliani was mayor of New York.

"I'm guided very, very often about, `Don't judge others, lest you be judged,'" Giuliani told CBN interviewer David Brody. "I'm guided a lot by the story of the woman that was going to be stoned, and Jesus put the stones down and said, 'He that hasn't sinned, cast the first stone,' and everybody disappeared.

1. Just wait... in the middle of his next scheduled appearance, he'll

get a 'spontaneous' cell phone call from Jesus H. Christ...
:rofl:

[WCGreen]

18. If I were Rudy....

That's one call I would't take...

[DRoseDARs]

39. Well, God already "phoned it in" on Rudy during one of the Rep. debates.

Just about everyone there dropped a load in their pants and tried laughing it off.

[phantom power]

2. Right, Rudy. The GOP, "party of not casting the first stone."

:eyes:

[llmart]

3. I guess he's not guided by the following:

Thou shalt not commit adultery.

I'm guessing he likes to pick and choose what tenets of the Bible he abides by.

[Rambis]

4. No way

this from a guy who was hiding from his wife and mistress at the apartment of his girlfriend? LOL!:spray:

[tanyev]

5. Rudy left out the rest of the story:

John 8:11 And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

[LiberalFighter]

41. What does he and his followers have to say about this bible verse?

The woman shall not wear that which pertaineth unto a man, neither shall a man put on a woman's garment: for all that do so are abomination unto the LORD thy God.

[CreekDog]

43. Oh shoot, he's done that dozens of times

I think he has Milton Berle beat on that one.

[kestrel91316]

6. This is from The Onion, right??

[Fearless]

7. Flip-flop, flip-flop, tra-la-la-la-la-la.... and so on.

[youthere]

8. And Towelie said:

"What? Who's getting stoned?"

[partylessinOhio]

9. MoveOn just ran a new Betray Us ad with Rudy/9-11 as the focus.

Where in the Bible does it say for a man to take on a lover and bring her into his household before his wife and children? I must have missed that teaching.

[acmavm]

15. Yeah, that's what I was wondering. I don't think very many people

here could bring in the replacement when the old model is still installed.

[Pastiche423]

17. Especialy since the replacement

is a scheming, gold digging, stepping on anyone that gets in her way s****. Rudy is a weak man for allowing Princess Judi to push him around. There's name people call men like him. He's p****whipped.

Not a good trait for a president or for National security.

[BonnieJW]

16. It's right after

God tells the Easter Bunny, "Go forth and hide thy eggs."

[terisan]

10. And Jesus said to the adulterous woman: you are now entitled to be President of the USA ? nt

[shain from kane]

11. "Just be happy that you weren't stoned, and don't go overreaching."

[0007]

14. Just lay off my wife ....

Giuliani used the reference again, invoking the mob's code of honor to explain why reporters should lay off his wife. "I am a candidate. She's a civilian, to use the old Mafia distinction," he said.

[terisan]

20. Yeah make sure you place the horse's head on My side of the bed. (She already has the horse's ass).

[AnnieBW]

33. Go and sin some more!

In fact, schtupp your bimbo in the Mayor's mansion while your wife is living there!

[pattmarty]

12. Tell me, really, who could believe this mother fucker?

[Stump]

36. Not I...

Said Stump.

[LibDemAlways]

13. Guiliani's messy personal life will be his undoing.

He absolutely needs a portion of the "religious right" vote in order to secure the nomination. He's a very nominal Catholic who's been married 3 times and publically paraded a mistress around - not exactly what those evangelical types are looking for in a nominee. Plus, he's farther to the left on abortion than any other repuke. He's simply not in sync with the base.

[Habibi]

34. No.

But is he in sync with the fed-up Republican voters who still can't bring themselves to switch sides?

[LibDemAlways]

35. Not saying he won't get republican primary votes, only that

he doesn't have a lot of support among the lunatic fringe who've had an increasingly large influence on the party.

[ClintonTyree]

19. "Don't judge others, lest you be judged".....

you're freaking kidding me right, Rudy? :rofl: Seems like you were somewhat judgmental of your two previous wives. You judged them to be not young enough, pretty enough or who knows what else for you, didn't you, Rudy? :shrug: You judged them to not be worthy of remaining in your life. You judged your sacred vows of marriage upon the altar of god (twice) to be not worthy of your commitment. Yeah, things can be a real bitch when you're judgmental, huh, Rudy! :eyes:

What a fucking hypocrite. Why is it that these freaking scum-bags always hide behind god, jesus, bible verses etc? I guess that's the beauty of religion. You can preach to others, cram your supposed morality down their throats, judge THEIR lives, condemn them, but when you're caught doing the same exact thing, or worse, all you have to do is "repent", cry some crocodile tears on TV, be forgiven, and you start with a clean slate. All is forgiven and forgotten. What a racket. :eyes:

Fuck off, Rudy. You using bible verses to defend your unforgivable treatment of your two previous wives is as ludicrous as Ahmadinejad saying there are no homosexuals in Iran. It just ain't gonna' cut it, Rudy. :puke:

[Kool Kitty]

38. Oh, hear! Hear!

Well said. All this fuck ever did was judge damn near everybody. Called people that owned ferrets sick, judged the type of art that was allowed in museums, let Donna Hanover know about her impending divorce by holding a friggin' press conference about it, for Crissakes. I can't even stand to look at this scumbag.

And I love the way he quotes the bible and the Mafia code (this regarding the press' treatment of his bug-eyed, tiara-ed wife, Judy). What a putz.

[leftynyc]

21. Rudy sees he's losing support among conservatives

to Thompson and he's quaking in fear. Expect more of this sucking up.

[City Lights]

22. I'm not laughing Rude-E, although I think you are a complete joke.

"I think there are some people that are very judgmental." Yes, Rude-E, there are some people that are very judgmental. Most of them are in your party. 'Member, Rude-E - you're in the "family values" party. The party with all the "values voters." (:eyes:)

And if you're guided very, very often about, "Don't judge others, lest you be judged," why are you always pointing your snide little finger at Democrats? You, Rude-E, are a stinking POS.

Go play dress up, Rude-E. And then go fuck yourself!

[damntexdem]

23. If you're going to listen to this cast, get stoned first.

[SaveElmer]

24. Except Commandments 1,3,6, 8 and 10...

Hey...he's battin .500!!!

[Trillo]

25. I'm sorry, you aren't worth a million dollars...

Giuliani Snubs Jones County

-snip-
On Tuesday Deb received a call from Giuliani’s Des Monies office and was asked to call New York.

“They wanted to know our assets,” she revealed, and added that she and Jerry have a modest 80 acre farm and raise cattle.

Later she received a call from Tony Delgado at the Des Monies location.

“Tony said, ‘I’m sorry, you aren’t worth a million dollars and he is campaigning on the Death Tax right now.’ then he said they weren’t going to be able to come,” Deb continued.

[StarryNite]

26. oh god

:eyes:

[brentspeak]

27. Rudy's favorite passages are always chapter 9, verse 11

[terisan]

40. That sums up Giuliani's campaign. nt

[lanlady]

28. Jesus put the stones down?

What bible talks about that? Rudy must be reading the Law & Order: Criminal Intent version of the Gospels.

[superconnected]

29. And I thought he already went to far with 911. He's not just willing

to say anything to be elected, he's actually crazy.

[Doctor_J]

30. Thou shalt not commit adultery whilst married to thy third wife

[bklyncowgirl]

31. Of course he skipped over that bit about "What God has joined together let no man put asunder"

Jesus had a problem with guys who dumped their wives.

[triguy46]

32. Ah, once a Catholic, now an evangelical proof texting hypocrite...

Don't even get me started with the mendacity of this statement. What an argument of convenience. Perhaps he should practice this himself.
