Rudy's A Lock In South Carolina: Got Himself A Gooood Bigot To Chair Campaign...
Racketeers, child molesters, cocaine dealers, and now klansmen. This is America's Mayor, who wants to run our country.

:rofl:


http://electioncentral.tpmcafe.com/blog/electioncentral/2007/jun/25/rudys_new_sc_chair_has_history_of_racially_charged_remarks

"At this point, we can make it official: Rudy Giuliani really, really, really has bad luck with members of South Carolina's Ravenel clan.

Earlier this month, Rudy's former South Carolina chair, Thomas Ravenel, quietly stepped down from the gig after getting indicted for conspiracy to distribute cocaine.

On October 18, 2006 The Post and Courier of Charleston, SC wrote " Arthur Ravenel Jr., who is running for an East Cooper seat on the board, caught flack 16 years ago when he was in Congress and made a comment about white committee chairmen who operated on 'black time,' which he said meant fashionably late."

As recently as January 2000, the Post and Courier reported in an article headlined "Ravenel stepped outside 'civility,'" that Ravenel called the NAACP the "National Association For Retarded People."

When asked about the comment in the story, Ravenel said that he misspoke. "It was a slip of the tongue. I have never said the NAACP was retarded," he told the Post and Courier. "I made a rhetorical slip, and they want to lynch me for it.""

6. Did he "cross dress" with Little Lindsey?
Seems he crossed Lindsey a few times...and one could wonder about the "behind the scenes" goings on with Ravenel and Graham... But, I'm not saying anything.....no..

3. From white lines to white sheets
Good grief! Does Rudy do any research at all on these mooks? Makes you wonder just how formidable a candidate he really is... get set for a Ken Doll vs. Deputy Dawg repuke primary. :boring:

A "rhetorical slip"?! 'Retarded' for 'colored'? Makes "Barney Fag" sound almost plausible! (well, not really)

5. Rudy must have a political death wish.
Politically, SC is a sorry state. I live in SC. I am in a small minority (although apparently growing) called Democrats. I know a hell of a lot of Repubs: some good, some not-so-good, and some terrible. And I know that Thomas Ravenel isn't the first Ravenel politico to be in trouble with the law (his distant cousin Charles "Pug" Ravenel - D, SC - was sentenced to prison for bank fraud in 1996 and later pardoned by Clinton). I also know that by selecting Thomas Ravenel's father, Arthur, as a replacement state campaign chairman, Rudy-Tootie is scraping the bottom of a barrel of old, dead fish. What a moran!

8. it was CRACK, btw, not cocaine. big difference in sentencing
http://www.blah3.com/article.php?story=20070620024837319

Rudy should be asked about this: NOT about the charges, but WHY everybody says it's for coke and not CRACK, and why the story has changed

12. thanks, of course, to the DUer who linked that originally. I googled it
Edited on Mon Jun-25-07 09:15 PM by Gabi Hayes
and found the exactl link the original thread cited

amazing how they cover for them, isn't it?

I just hope whenever Rudy comes up in conversation, the fact that he had a CRACK dealer as his SC campaign chief will come out

you can be sure that this won't ever see the light of day in the M$M, UNLESS it gets down to Rudy vs. the Creature from the Black Lagoon (from this point on, CFTLB). It's interesting that all these bad Rudy stories are surfacing all of a sudden about him, when most of them are OLD old tales. Do you think it's because the M$M has gotten word that Thompson is now their candidate, cause it's clear Rudy was getting kid glove treatment, and now that CFTLB is surging/Rudy tanking, that the M$M may be throwing their weight behind his

can't wait for stories about his Mermaid Child Bride

15. Fred Thompson, AKA The Creature from the Black Lagoon, will be
Rudy's target by then, if it even matters.

when IS the SC primary?

and how outrageous has that system become.

we have NO choices anymore; the 'voting' process is being taken out of our hands
