Giuliani Says Obama Is Cowardly and Weak for Refusing to Say 'Radical Islam' [CBD]

GIULIANI: Sean, it is, I think, very serious. I think it's very serious because it sends a signal of cowardice and weakness.
HANNITY: It is cowardly!
GIULIANI: I'm saying this from 40 years of experience of investigating and prosecuting Islamic terrorism going back to the Palestinian hijackings in the 1970s. So this is not just a--
HANNITY: And you went after the mob in a big way...
GIULIANI: And I called them the Mafia, and I was told there was no Mafia... and I was protested by Italian-American groups. And I said if we can't use the word 'Mafia,' we can't get rid of them. If we can't use the words 'radical Islamic terrorism,'we can't get rid of them. Then, we can't separate them from the good members of the Islamic religion.

The video auto-plays and I am too lame to fix it, so here's a link.

two days ago:

Giuliani on Wednesday warned the GOP contenders against attacking one another at this stage.

"I'm not the head of the RNC, but if I was I would say the following, If you say anything bad about a Republican, I'm coming on this show and saying something bad about you," he said. "I don't care what it is. We are running against Hillary Clinton -- we're not running against Mitt Romney, Jeb Bush, Chris Christie, we're all on the same side."

23 Obama encourages left-wing protests and "direct actions" to add pressure to advance his agenda. The strategy is based on using top-down (from the Obama White House) and bottom-up (from activists) pressure in a pincer movement to advance the Leftist agenda.

Two examples:

1. Amnesty. Obama pushed it while encouraging La Raza and Amnesty pressure groups to hold protests, sit-ins -- even allowed them to heckle Obama. Top-down, bottom-up.

2) Race relations. Obama and Holder give speeches calling America racist and evil, while encouraging the Soros-funded racial protest groups in Ferguson and elsewhere to disrupt and intimidate.

So with Islam. Obama pushes to close Gitmo, works with Islamist groups to overthrow Libya and Egyptian govts.

The Islamist groups provide the bottom-up pressure Obama wants to go alongside the top-down pressure he brings.

24 Radical Islam is at war against us. The U.S., as presently configured, isn't so much at war with Radical Islam, as it is engaged in Radical Appeasement.

An actual American President, an actual Christian one at that, shall be required to remedy said flaw.

We NEED to be at war with Radical Islam. Total, unyielding, uncompromising WAR.

Overkill is just barely enough. We need to do..... more.

I listened to the AosHQ podcast yesterday, and the recollection of meeting Bill and Hillary matches everything I've ever heard.

Hillary has a lot of big, big advantages. She's female(Obama effect), great name recognition, and Bill Clinton who many people somehow still love(time heals all wounds, although he's clearly still a skirt chaser)

Hilary's "personality" and general rottenness are so non-concealable as to trump all of them. Nobody likes a bitch.

98 Here's my take on Hillary:
Yes, she is repellent and turns off people in her own party. She could not win on her own.

However, the MSM, entertainment and education establishment has been touting her as the smartest, strongest woman evah for 20+ years (that's a whole generation brainwashed), which gives her a *huge* advantage with the LIVs.

Add to that the built-in Democrat voter fraud advantage and she could pull off a win. Just like Obama did in 2012.

Plus, bill knew it & even spoke of it in an interview once. They, allegedly, had an open marriage. I am curious to know if Bill was aware of any other indiscretions & maybe blackmailed a few of her girlfriends. Not that I am saying I know anything about that, but one of the articles discussed it.

181 Warren is running, just not yet. She is shooting for VP or a cabinet position under Hillary. She's old, this is her only chance.

As for Hillary, it's all about Bill imo. He is beating her like rented mule to run so he can have his third term with her as figurehead and him running things behind the scenes. And having Cosby over for "parties".

182 Ya'll, them French heard the words of James Taylor serenading them "You've got a friend" and it moved them.

They thought to themselves, "Those Americans, they are a peace loving people. Let's take after their example."

And that's why they are banning a rally against Jihad. Takin' after the good ol' U.S. of A.

183 "Hey that Dowd scrunt went to see Selma and said it was great but they diminished LBJ's civil rights work."

A bunch of LBJ's former aides are incredibly indignant and butthurt over how Obama has never once really acknowledged LBJ's importance to the black community.

And now they and their former boss get their noses rubbed in the dog crap and get spanked with the newspaper *again* by this ridiculous movie.

It's really actually very funny to observe.

186 >>You might be right but she makes my skin crawl. She has an off putting,scolding, and just generally unpleasant quality about her. YMMV, however, but her personality is the opposite of charisma, and like ability is a big factor. Hillary also lacks that quality.

I talked to someone who'd dealt with Warren and it sounded like the stories of people who've dealt with Hillary.

Heh.

Nice, I was speaking mostly of Lucas' special effects bonanza and some neo-hype.

The thing is I deeply respect the actual Tuskegee Airmen b/c they understood that as escort pilots their primary job was perimeter security and interdiction in the safe zone for their bomber crews....

the fact is they were MORE disciplined than many white zoomies...

at any rate I am enraged by revisionist history that has no idea of what it is discussing and as such engages in hyperbolic mischaracterization of military matters especially.

He lost because people who suffered under his reign started publicizing the truth about him - that he is just another "progressive" who masqueraded as a conservative in order to gain power.
The short version, without listing every offense, is that every policy of Bloomberg that makes people frenzy was inherited from Giuliani.

242 Rudy has been gangbusters on this issue. He was on Hannity the other night and said that he has read the Koran three times and that the violence in it is where these terrorists get their justification.

He's been so good in fact that I got to thinking maybe he should try running for president again in '16. When he ran in '08, people were sick of hawks and war and he ran a weak campaign. But now, with the rise of ISIS, foreign policy is back to being a top priority and Rudy does that very well.

244 While appearing on MSNBC's "All In with Chris Hayes," Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., said the Obama administration was correct in refusing to refer to Islamic terrorists as "Islamic extremists," the Washington Free Beacon reported Thursday. The reason, she explained, is that doing so would anger them and possibly cause them to engage in even more terrorism.

"They're responsible for ensuring our national security. We have to be careful in our language and how we -- I don't want to see any more anger and hostility or violence in the world," she said. "Our response to terrorism is a response that makes us safer that begins to dismantle and degrade terrorist organizations, not create more havoc, anger, and hostility in the world."

Apparently, that means not saying anything that might hurt their feelings or make them angry.
