Rudy Giuliani clarifies Obama comments by claiming the President has been influenced by...

Trying to explain his controversial comments that President Obama doesn’t love America, Rudy Giuliani said Friday that he believes the President has been influenced by communism and socialism.

“Look, this man was brought up basically in a white family, so whatever he learned or didn’t learn, I attribute this more to the influence of communism and socialism” than to his race, Giuliani told the Daily News.

“I don’t (see) this President as being particularly a product of African-American society or something like that. He isn’t,” the former mayor added. “Logically, think about his background. . . The ideas that are troubling me and are leading to this come from communists with whom he associated when he was 9 years old” through family connections.

When Obama was 9, he was living in Indonesia with his mother and his stepfather. Giuliani said he was referencing Obama’s grandfather having introduced him to Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party.

The rats sold most of the stupid American public a man who is of below average intelligence but his narcissism covers for that, touted as an African American which he is not, sold as a pretty boy to other stupid Americans stuck on the bachelor and American idol. The impenetrable wall of defense put up by OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS and the scumedia brought us to this dismal point in history. Rudy speaks the truth as other do, we have a low level street urchin activist who wants to bring us down

[eartick]

Sure it is. This kinda stuff has it’s roots in our founding documents.

[PghBaldy]

You know who else can be a great attack dog? John Sununu, Pat Buchanan and Newt Gingrich. We have some great voices. It is a shame they each are problematic.

[SkyPilot]

What really ticks me off is the way the media is reacting to Giuliani's comments. "We are shocked he would say such bigoted things!"

OH PLEASE.

It was the media all along that should have vetted him and exposed Obama to the American people. Barry Soetoro - raised by Communist mother and grandparents, and a "mentor" in Frank Marshall Davis who was a Communists. Barry Hussein - who was raised a Muslim, and wrote "gay" poetry about amber stains on underwear and affairs with "pop." Barry Obama, who has a forged Selective Service card, a forged Birth Certificate, and a Connecticut Social Security number.

And now here we are, with the world economy in fears of implosion, our military decimated, ISIS starting WW III, race relations at an all time low, real unemployment at 22%, 18 Trillion in debt, our health care system crashing, and a lawless "President" writing his own laws and giving the finger to the Constitution. Where the hell were the media when Obama was rising to power? They were aiding and abetting him, that's where.

[GrandJediMasterYoda]

I disagree with Rudy. Yes The One was influenced by Communism but he was influenced by radical Islam more and today is a adherent to radical Islam above all else. All his decisions are based around radical Islam, it explains EVERYTHING he does which is why keeping him in office is dangerous as hell.

[RoosterRedux]

Rudy has always been a straight talker. And that makes him valuable at a time like this when lies abound.

[RoosterRedux]

Rudy's frontal assault on Obama is also a frontal assault on the media who built him with their lies...and they know it.

Rudy is the anti-Brian Williams.

[N. Theknow]

Rudy should also mention Rev. Jeremiah “Goddam America” Wright.

[trebb]

Good for Rudy - they keep giving him “opportunities to recant/repent” and he builds on the logical foundations of his original premise. This time he even took apart some of the racist claims - which must be racist of him....

[manc]

flicking over channels yesterday and CNN was having a fit over this and yet they had a guest called Mark Lamont and Donna Brazil I think their names were who are both racist and have said disgusting things about Bush and republicans and whites.

CNN is just another pathetic LSM channel who thinks it’s job is to get Dems elected and go after republicans.

[HomerBohn]

Obama’s grandparents were active Communists and they raised him; his father was a Muslim Communist; his mentor was a Communist...his major influences growing up were anti-American...and he was groomed to follow in their footsteps.

America continues to allow this parasitic nation destroyer to sleep, eat and sh*t in the now disgraced White Hut.

[Jim Noble]

It was clear from Rudy's convention speech, where the term "Zero" for El Lider was invented, that he would have beaten Obama. And, by extension, only the fearless have a chance against the leftist machine. I saw Rudy face them down in NYC every single day when he was mayor.

Whether or not he would have been a good President, I leave up to you.

[manc]

The media is taking this to all levels and not addressing the facts yet again.

if you love something why would you want to change it and why did his wife say she is proud for the first time in her life?

Simple questions and yet this pathetic LSM won’t ask the question , nor will they address his up bringing, so called church and, why he is acting like he is.

[manc]

Been saying the same.

The media is out and out acting like a bratty child right now. To think what their messiah has done, lived and, acted, but the media would rather on what was said about bozo instead of addressing the issues and facts.

He was raised and influenced by communists and socialists. He had written in his book how he hung out with Chicanos, communists etc because in his words, “did not want to be perceived as a sell out” How about asking why he felt like that.

Why does the media not get off their high horse and start doing their frigging job for once and instead of attacking what was said then address what was said and republicans on these shows should show some balls and defend this and raise these issues while calling out the show host for their bias.

Good for Rudy. I’m glad somebody’s saying it. The GOP is a party that just stares into the headlights, and says nothing. Living in WI, I probably will vote for Walker if he gets that far. I’m not going to stare into the headlights and let the MSM, which we know is just a democrat proxy, pick my candidate.

You might want to bone up on the following (including the links in the comments) before separating radical Islam from the Soviets/Russians.

The only way to defeat America is to take the minds of the people. Which, isn’t very hard to do, if you have the patience. Free minds, are free to be manipulated. Lie to people enough and they will believe anything.

Now, I don’t know what country did it. I suspect the Russians.
That is, some country, or group, groomed zero and many other Americans.

They aren’t acting like a bratty child, they are in damage control mode. Every time a scandal breaks in this administration they go into full damage control. It’s completely by design. If you watch carefully, most MSM programming have the same talking points. Even different networks. It’s like journalists(influential ones) get together, and decide where to take the news. Then they all send it down the pipes and report it. Why? Obviously, if anyone knows that these people are hostile to America, it’s the media. They are one and the same.

The Russians have always wanted to get us back for the cold war. They never gave up. Read about their psychological warfare programs during the Cold War. Honestly, do you think they ever gave up on any of those programs? No. We declared victory, that’s it.

Rudy was apparently a great Mayor for New York City.

While New York City is part of America, it isn't America (there is a lot more out here in the hinterlands as alien to the average New Yorker as the City is to us).

So, simply enough, what is good for New York City isn't necessarily what the rest of America needs. One size does not fit all. Unless a Presidential Candidate understands and expresses that and shows that knowledge when proposing policy, they aren't the right guy for the job. You can't apply Big city solutions to rural America.

[Smokin' Joe]

That said, I'm glad Rudy is calling a spade a spade. Obama's American Black affectations aside (no ancestors tied to slavery in the Americas, unless they were the ones selling, definitely not from a poor background (The school he went to was one where the 'poor' parents drove their kids to school instead of having the chauffeur drop them off), and far from the 'rose from the ghetto and "overcame"' upbringing he seems to sucker people into believing. The man is a Fraud at so many levels and it is good to see Giuliani exposing that.

Rudy can play a vital part in the fight.

Rudy was more the “occasion” for my observation rather than the subject.

We all know our propensity to eat our own and to hold functionaries to a standard that never allows them to serve to become the statesman we all desire. That merely is my point.
