Giuliani calls MoveOn.org 'disgusting,' slams Clinton

[RamboLiberal]

Former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani Wednesday sharply criticized the MoveOn.org newspaper ad attacking Gen. David Petraeus, calling it "one of the more disgusting things that has happened in American politics."

During an appearance on the "Randy and Spiff Radio Show" in Atlanta, Georgia, the Republican White House hopeful also said "it's unfortunate" more Democratic candidates haven't spoken out against the liberal advocacy group's ad.

"I think the failure of the Democratic candidates to really condemn that, given how much money Moveon.org spends on behalf of Democratic candidates, which is millions if not hundreds of millions, is really, I really think it’s very, very unfortunate," he said

Giuliani also scolded Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-New York, for her comments during Petraeus' testimony before the Senate Armed Services Committee Tuesday when she said his progress report required "a willing suspension of disbelief."

"I really do think to accuse a general of the ‘willing suspension of disbelief,' — particularly in the atmosphere that Moveon.org has created with these terrible attacks — I think that’s not the way in a responsible way to go about forging the foreign policy of the United States and the military policy of the United States," he said.

Count me among those who think Moveon tried to be too cute and just gave these Repuke aholes ammunition to obscure the real issues on Iraq. Of course this is the kind of thing Repukes do all the time and never get called out for.

14. Because there is a great many of them that are repugs...I see it

more everyday...and the problem they are the ones with the money....and that is why we will never get the lobbyist our of politics..

[Justitia]

7. MoveOn is comprised of like-minded CITIZENS. Fuck Rudy the Fascist.

Unlike all their scummy, big-money, covert, assisted by elected officials slime operations, MoveOn is nothing more than regular CITIZENS banded together, making their opinions known.

It doesn't matter what you think of the ad, MoveOn is made up of like minded, regular CITIZENS.

Again, Fuck that Fascist, Rudy Ghouliani.

17. Can you imagine if one of our candidates said something like that

about "Conservatives"? All hell would break loose.

Why isn't every Democrat with a working mouth shouting about this?

21. Didn't Rudy give up the idea of a run for the senate

when he realized he would have to run against Hillary? Yup, Rudy shouldn't be too difficult for Hillary to deal with in an election.

16. Hey Rootie STFU you aren't going anyplace except back to wherever you came from to exploit 911 for $

[ericgtr]

18. Tell 'em Rudy!

Fuckin' Dems should be ashamed that they haven't spoken out against this travesty. Nobody could've possibly known that Petraeus was going to come back with a positive report on Iraq, it could've gone either way. Nobody had a clue. :eyes:

Goddamned Dems, this is an outrage!

MoveOn, I personally thank you and your supporters for this ad. It was spot on and couldn't have been more called for as it echoed the sentiments of the majority of the country. Good for them.

[gratuitous]

19. Gee, Mr. Giuliani

As far as disgusting goes, weren't you just sharing a stage with Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity and Oliver North? One would think your disgust-o-meter would have cracked beyond repair just being in their presence.
