What is Digg?57 Comments
- lschofield, on 10/10/2007, -7/+77Wow - between that remark about being one of the 5 best-known Americans worldwide, the goofy fake phone call from his wife, and now this.... I really couldn't add much by making a comment. Rudy's actions and words are speaking very loudly. He's been beating George W. lately in the faux-pas department.
- littlebylittle, on 10/10/2007, -6/+73Talk about taking advantage of the tragic loss of life for personal gain!
I don't talk like this very often on Digg but this calls for the following response:
***** You Gouliani.
You'll never be elected to anything.
Go back to the hole you came from. Oh, and you sucked as a mayor. - EntropyMan, on 10/10/2007, -4/+51The only upside is that now he'll be known as "Mr. $9.11"
- tucsonsun13, on 10/10/2007, -2/+24Did he mention he was the mayor of NYC on 911? Hope nobody forgot.
- fightzero01, on 10/10/2007, -2/+19People! Haven't you forgotten that EVERY DAY is an anniversary of 9/11 for him!! Every Day gentlemen.. Every day.
- RunawayElf, on 10/10/2007, -6/+22"These are two volunteers who acted independently of and without the knowledge of the campaign"
While I like to bash Fruity Giuliani as much as the next person, this seems to me not to be something endorsed, suggested, or approved by his fund raisers. While it does show disrespect, I do not believe it is on the part of Giuliani.
Digg me down for debunking sensationalism. Where would Digg be without it? - syroncoda, on 10/10/2007, -5/+21damn loch ness monster! i aint go no tree fitty.... er... nine-leven.
- PATSCRU, on 10/10/2007, -1/+14digg is not censoring ron paul stories/comments. Digg is burying ron paul comments. Huge difference, one which obviously goes way over your head. Not everything is a conspiracy.
- SPThom, on 10/10/2007, -2/+15"You'll never be elected to anything."
I just hope you're right. - jdh24, on 10/10/2007, -0/+13ok, plenty of RP articles make the front page. i'm a RP supporter too but if every article that was submitted about RP made it to the front page, we might as well call it ronpaul.com instead of digg.com
- TheRealToma, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12"Today, we will bomb Iran." *BOOOOOOOO*
"9/11" *YAAAAY - mickrussom, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Hell YEAH
Rudy oversaw police brutality at its worst, Abner Louima. He stood by the Police even though they were wrong.
Rudy was in charge when 9/11 happened. Thats not a good thing.
Rudy said it was safe to come back and many people were exposed to poisonous WTC dust.
Rudy Ghouliani is simply a bad man. He is also a career gun grabbing autocratic non-constitutionalist.
Rudy is hated by the NYFD / New York Fire Department http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWTYBTNogZQ
If Rudy knew the constitution, he would know as a Knight Commander , Order of the British Empire (KBE), he is forbidden to be President per:
Article 1, Section 9, Clause 8
"No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince or foreign State."
Also, the missing 13th amendment, which was surely to be ratified (By Virginia, they did in 1819 but it was too late since 2 more states had joined) - but DC was destroyed in a fire set be they British during the war of 1812: (I am not claiming this law is on the books and in effect, but you'll see how the US detested foreign titles)
"If any citizen of the United States shall accept, claim, receive or retain any title of nobility or honour, or shall, without the consent of Congress accept and retain any present, pension, office or emolument of any kind whatever, from any emperor, king, prince or foreign power, such person shall cease to be a citizen of the United States and shall be incapable of holding any office of trust or profit under them, or either of them. "
RUDOLPH GIULIANI gave working people plenty of reasons to hate him during his eight long years as mayor of New York City. But he left office at the end of last year a hero.
Time magazine named him 2001’s "Person of the Year"--for his performance in front of the cameras after the September 11 attack on the World Trade Center.
Giuliani may have come off as a human being during the tragedy. But his record as mayor tells a different story--that he helped to wreck the lives of thousands of people with eight years of racist, and anti-poor policies and his unwavering support for New York’s murderers in blue.
New York schools have become some of the most overcrowded and run-down in the country. But Giuliani scapegoated teachers, refusing to raise their salaries even minimally without "merit pay." In 1995, he slashed the budget for the City University of New York--and then had police attack students who dared to protest.
When transit workers prepared to go on strike in December 1999, Giuliani threatened workers with jail for just using the word "strike"--and a daily $25,000 fine if they walked.
Giuliani used "Quality of Life" laws to go after taxi drivers, street vendors, protesters, bicyclists--and basically anyone who showed signs of being poor. "Streets do not exist in civilized societies for the purpose of people sleeping there," Time’s Person of the Year once sneered. "Bedrooms are for sleeping."
But Giuliani’s most enduring legacy may be his support for racial profiling and police murder. From the hideous torture of Abner Louima in 1997 and the murder of Amadou Diallo in a hail of 41 bullets in 1999, Giuliani relentlessly supported the NYPD Black and Blue.
At the same time, Giuliani showered massive tax breaks on Wall Street and the corporations.
Corporate media outlets like Time may pay tribute to this monster. But Giuliani’s real legacy is eight years of racist scapegoating, police terror and attacks on education.
Rudy also, until September 2007, was a Rabid gun-grabber and authoritarian who fully supported the dismantling of the Second Amendment to the Bill of Rights. - Wosat, on 10/10/2007, -4/+13Unconscionable, shameless, and sickening? Is it in bad taste? Yes. But unconscionable? Sickening? Have these words lost all meaning? Must everything be overstated now to be noticed? To me, blowing up innocent people in an open market is unconscionable; feeding puppies to a pet snake is sickening; and describing *this* using those words is shameless.
- ccdigg1, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11You're right, the title is misleading. This is not part of Giuliani's official campaign, so calling it "his" fundraiser is technically incorrect. However, since I haven't seen Giuliani condemn the campaign, what difference does it make?
Why doesn't he condemn it? Because he's found out long ago that 9/11 = Easy $$$ - CannedMango, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8Thanks, I was writing a very similar post.
Dodd's response is just more political lip-service because he knows it will play well. The same way the Senate tried to turn an advertisement into a moral debate.
Why can't someone just come out and say "Guiliani has nothing to offer except that he was in New York on 9/11. He's a political hack at best." and be done with it? - greekgoat91, on 10/10/2007, -1/+8***** douchebag
- redrock34, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7He forgot cheap.
- SPThom, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Another RP fan here and I agree with jdh & PAT. Don't get conspiratorial.
- Mearn, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6Oh come on, don't confuse people with facts.
- schoate09, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5You do realize, right before 9/11 the people of NY were ready to run him right out of the city, 9/11 is the only thing that gave him a good title. He was absolutely hated as mayor up until then, which is why it's the only part of his mayorhood that he focuses on.
- ClosedCaption, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6"this seems to me not to be something endorsed, suggested, or approved by his fund raisers."
I wonder...why they didn't tell them to...stop maybe? - SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Too bad they didn't attack on July 11th. He could have gotten some wicked sponsorship deals.
I know, i know - it's not his fault. There was even an article posted about the announcement a few days ago and i knew the moment i read the article that even tho it wasn't him setting the thing up it would be him to take all the blame in the media. The thing i find more humorous is the blatant cat-fighting going on already in the presidential election even between parties and there's still over a year before the election will really be heating up.
I mean EGAD!! a democrat who thinks that something a republican did was stupid!! HOLY ***** ***** WHAT IS THE WORLD COMING TO!? - Memitim, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Actually, I thought that it was very consistent of him. He's been capitalizing off of the victims of 9/11 since that afternoon.
- Cougaboy, on 10/10/2007, -1/+5Depressing.....people can't even get a simple South Park reference these days...what is Digg coming to?
- Stevanoski, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4I am sure Sen. Dodd knows much about "Unconscionable, shameless, and sickening" so will take him at his word.
- ClosedCaption, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3That is shameless...
How dare moveon.org and the liberal Democrats attack the integrity of a four star General like Petraus and our troops fighting in Iraq for our Freedoms? - FreakyD, on 10/10/2007, -3/+5Does he have nothing more to offer than feeding off 9-11, there has got to be something.......
- Tyrsson, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Unfortunately, making an ass out of himself didn't keep Bush from becoming President. Giuliani is smarter than Bush--and far more dangerous.
- dcoolidge, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Takes one to know one ;)
- poihead, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Like he (or any other politician) would ever admit to such a clearly insensitive act. He is not that stupid...
- corkyagain, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3The precedent for the $9.11 fundraiser was set by Giuliani's "unconscionable, shameless, and sickening" exploitation of 9/11 as a theme for his campaign and, before that, as a way for him to make lots of money as a "security expert". Whether he approved of this event or not, it echoed things he himself has said and done.
- litcigar, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I think the problem is that there isn't a clear sign of the campaign condemning the action. (Though, I admit, I haven't followed the story completely.)
- Steviebe21, on 10/10/2007, -1/+2Thanks for the link. Buried as spam.
- s1mph0ny, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1The linked article has nearly 400 diggs, and still hasn't hit the front page. It's hard to consider that anything but censorship.
- inboxnews, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1How do you now what they did? Did you read the article?
- tangledupblues, on 10/10/2007, -2/+3Giuliani looks like Mr. Ed; a doofish smug arrogant smog surrounds this man every time he musters the strength to crawl out of the hole he came from. He represents the vial putrid arrogance that Bush and his cronies have displayed. I truly hope America can't be fooled twice; or shame on us...
- PaulPinfield, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1Isn't Giuliani just a scheming scum-bag? Mind you, what else does he have other than 9/11? He's riding on the back of the worst American tragedy in living history. If Blair / Brown had done this, they would be unemployed in a heartbeat.
- elvisB, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1URGENT WARNING!!! Many states are very quietly moving up their deadlines to register for the primaries in an effort to hurt Ron Paul's chances. Some only have a week left so if your registered as a democrat, go to your courthouse immediately, and for those of you planning on voting for Billary, take a good look at what the dems have done for you since they took back congress. Ron Paul is the only non-establishment candidate with a chance and if he isn't elected, mark my words: YOUR CUSHY WAY OF LIFE IS OVER! By the way, Ghouliani has made tens of millions since 9/11 somehow. Hmmm... must be payoffs for his participation.
- donjuan571, on 10/10/2007, -0/+1dont advertise your ***** website here its lame. Oh and it helps to have more than one thread on your ENTIRE forum..ass
- WinGeek, on 10/15/2008, -5/+5Guilani has nothing to do with this. According to the article: "A Giuliani spokeswoman said the $9.11 idea was selected without the campaign's knowledge."
I'm still not going to vote for the guy but you can find better ways to attack him. - NativeVeteran70, on 10/16/2007, -0/+0Rudy is a fraud............... Billary is a puppet................
- SquigglyP, on 10/10/2007, -1/+1but the feeder rats aren't big enough... what ELSE am i supposed to use?
(it only eats once every few months...) - DCstewieG, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Pssh. This is nothing compared to General Betray Us. That was, like....offensive...and...stuff
- littlebylittle, on 10/10/2007, -3/+2YEAH! Go Back To Your Hole Mr. LOSER Mayor!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
- zertz, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1Why does this seem not surprising?
- Chuckanut, on 10/10/2007, -2/+1We had taco salad that night...
- littlebylittle, on 10/10/2007, -5/+4whatever
