Rudy Giuliani Runs New York Times Ad Attacking Hillary, Moveon.org Responds
In a response by Rudy Giuliani to Hillary Clinton’s character assassination of General Petraeus Giuliani took out a full page ad in the New York Times in which he said the following:
You do not honor the troops by attacking their general at a time of war,”
In Giuliani’s print ad, his campaign quotes him as saying, “These times call for statesmanship, not politicians spewing political venom.”
The Giuliani print ad accuses Clinton, a New Yorksenator, of participating in a “character attack” against Petraeus, citing her comments during a congressional hearing that the general’s progress report on Iraq required a “willing suspension of disbelief.”
So what did Hillary say in response to Rudy? Nothing, she had her mouthpiece organization moveon.org do her talking for her.
In response, a liberal anti-war group is running a $50,000 ad campaign against Giuliani in Iowa, which begins the presidential nominating process. The television ad from MoveOn.org Political Action, which will start airing next week, accuses Giuliani of a “betrayal of trust” for abandoning the Iraq Study Group.
At least Rudy is out there on his own fighting for what he believes in. Hillary is letting a far left organization fight for her on this issue so that she doesn’t have to go on the record, she is still trying to play to the center. This provides her cover, she has moveon.org to cover her on the far left, meanwhile she is able to keep trying to move to the center and not seem like she is a far left zealot. Say what you will about Rudy, at least he has an opinion and he is willing to run on it, let the chips fall where they may. Hillary is trying to adopt multiple stances on the war using multiple groups to tell us where she stands in an attempt to pull votes from both sides of the war issue.
I may not be a big Rudy fan, but at least I know what he believes on this issue, I know because he tells us. If he doesn’t get elected because of his stance on the war at least we know he ran on his beliefs. Hillary may get elected, but she will do so because she promised everything to everybody and never took a stance on anything. That may get you elected, but it won’t get you respect. What is more important? Obviously each candidate has their own opinion.

Considering that Giuliani has described his vote for Senator George McGovern in 1972 for President as because of his opposition to the criminal US war on Vietnam,continued largely because it was premised on the lies and betrayls of Generals Westmoreland, Abrams, et al.in testimony before Congressional committees should we now suspend our disbelief of Giuliani as he brays at Senator Clinton for refusing ” to denounce MoveOn.org’s ad”,and take his McCarthyite posturing for the pathetic theatrics it is? Has he turned to Bernie Kerik and said “thank god Gen Petraeus is winning Iraq!”?
Shameless and telling behavior by
another of the chickenhawk punks who lied America into this heinous debacle, and indicative of the nastiness to come as this little authoritarian looks for a balcony, while the rest of the War Party shrieks their denials of what is clear to the entire world:the US Hegemon is already down for the count Hold on folks,it’s time for some truth to stop the continuing bloodletting orgy prolonged by these Know Nothing deniers of fact: the occupation has failed, the military is incapable of “victory”, and that they know it.The only way out is for Giuliani and what remains of
The Podhoritzian hallucinators’ to bleat loudly and without surcease, so that maybe they can do it once again, steal an election, and demonsrate the folly of bourgeois democracy, that a public supressed by the supremecy of “free market” is unfree to the point that the world suffers the cruel irony of the Iilliterate Runt” ruining the world in the “Name of Freedom!”

In principle I agree, but there are some nyuansy, which require more detailed discussions.
