joedirtsays...Pretty slick attack campaign if this was organized by folks. I like the swiftboating here, take some of their own medicine.
theo47says..."Swiftboating" implies untrue slander; this looks pretty authentic to me.
Giuliani wasn't very presidential there, that's for sure.
bamdrewsays...... jeez.
I agree that swiftboating is not the appropriate term, as its not his foggy recollection that he's basing his anti-Guiliana opinions on. HOWEVER, the creators of this clip are using now-classic viral techniques that are indicative of swiftboating-style allegations.
theo47says...Jeez yourself.
Viral does not necessarily mean untruthful; "Swiftboating" does.
I don't see an attempt to make Giuliani look as if he hates people with disabilities;
I think it's supposed to make him look like the jackass he was being at that moment.
Clearly, Rudy didn't realize what was wrong with the guy, but like I said, it wasn't very presidential of him.
Of course, he also dressed in drag on SNL, so this may be the least of his worries.
Kruposays...Definitely *viral; an example of a truthful viral vid.
siftbotsays...Video added to viral channel (viral called by gold star member Krupo)
choggiesays...upvote for title...Giuliani makes a fool of himself daily on air...an honest??? putty?....mouldable,useable, most of all expendable, Ex-Mayor, USA....might as well have smoked crack on TV, as woke up tomorrow....as presidential as a flaming cold sore...
this could be YOU!
choggiesays...politics....is a used metaphor, ab, over, un, and re...take yer pick, and watch a train wreck
thoughtbubblesays...Rudy making fun of somebody else's voice? Has heard his own little speech impediment?
Lisp much buddy?
president_palmersays...I'm a democrat but i have to take guliani's side on this one. I mean how was he supposed to know that guy was disabled? If someone had called my radio show harrassing me, i probably would have done the same thing.
KnivesOutsays...No... if you're a public servant, you handle the angry caller like he's a member of the public that you serve. You treat him with every respect, and worst case you get him off the line asap. Hanging up on the guy would've been better than making fun of his apparent speech impediment.
rickegeesays...And this is just one of countless instances caught on tape of former Mayor (now Saint) Giuliani cursing out constituents, calling reporters who disagreed with him lunatics, shouting down questions, abusing the homeless, justifying police abuse, battling his ex-wife, marrying his cousin . . .
I pray that Giuliani is the Republican nominee in 2008. The Democrats will win every state.
Fedquipsays...A little bit more background on this clip.
