Giuliani demands MoveOn's New York Times ad rate

You may be on to something. Heh heh heh...

[rabscuttle385]

Even if they disclose one I am sure it will be a lie. For all we know the Slimes ran it for free.

Hell, I would bet that they even helped to write the ad.

[vpintheak]

Same here. I love that he called sHrillery out. All out melitary deserves our respect.

The Times will accept Rudy’s money. Matter of fact their readership will swell if only for a day. If they allow each and every candidate to buy one pagers it will be proof that lowering prices (taxes) promotes increased revenue and profits.

[stocksthatgoup]

In the End the Joke will be on the Old Gray Lady......hehe

[MrB]

Every conservative group in the country with the funds should take out a full page ad at this rate.

Hopefully the Times loses money at that rate.

[McGruff]

As of now, I'm supporting Fred Thompson for the GOP presidential nomination and I sure wish he had made this demand, instead of Rudy.

Fred came out with a press release the day this disgusting Ad came out calling on all democrats to denounce it.

I also applaud Rudy for his statement today against she who's name must not be mentioned and for disputing Ron Paul's assertion that we had something to do with 9/11.

In his years in New York, Giuliani used the old Fiorello LaGuardia technique of going for the opponent's weakest point and forcing him to defend it.

When the Brooklyn Museum did that exhibition of sacriligious art, Giuliani hit the local liberals hard. Had they been smart, they would have shut up or simply changed course. But they just had to reflexively defend the indefensible. Their doctrine demanded it. They never lived it down.

He actually was the ONLY one who said what needed to be said about the LIBBY conviction.

And imagine, this woman wants to be Commander in Chief. How would she respond to other military officers if she were President?

The same way she and her staff did when her husband was in office.

I, and a number of others, used to absolutely dread her occasional appearances in the Pentagon.

Excellent point. I’d forgotten about that.

One of the things I am most looking forward to about a Rudy candidacy is that the GOP will finally at the top of its ticket have THE most politically astute, canny, shrewd media savvy candidate, not to mention versed in the language of leadership, for the first time since the days of Reagan.

Rudy is sharp and tenacious, and will take the fight to this nation’s enemies, both foreign AND domestic.

In fact the is already doing so.

I would think this type of discount would violate some kind of federal campaign law. What would stop the Slimes from giving Hillary a full page campaign ad for peanuts and that constitute a campaign contribution?

[mimaw]

Rudy has a backbone and he doesn’t give a damn if he gets lousy press. That’s what I like about him.

That's one of the things I like most about him. I haven't decided on who I'll support for the nomination..it's still too early and a lot of mistakes will be made in the upcoming months. I have a few big problems with Giuliani but I'd dearly love to get a President in office who will HAMMER the left incessantly. This "taking the high road" stuff is wearing thin. The American voters don't care about taking the high road...they want the blood and guts.

Dittos.

[Bitsy]

Again, I’m as angry as anyone over that moveon.org ad that defames General Petraeus as a ‘traitor’. However, I’m hoping that the anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-American whackado’s finally went too far, this time, and that the blow-back will result in a Republican president and congress following the November, 2008 election.

I agree with you 100%. Unfortunately, the Senator from Louisiana who would have said something about this is now chewed up and spit out by the degenerate, Larry Flynt. I also hope that the Republicans have had enough of this treachery from the Democrats and their friends at moveon.org I know I have.

[Republican Red]

Actually, I’m pretty sure I read someplace that newspapers and other media outlets *must* charge the same rate for political ads. By law.

From Hot Air

(Freedom Watch) points out that on September 11, 2007, "we published a full-page advertisement from Freedom’sWatch.org, an organization whose view is opposite of MoveOn.org."

Freedom’s Watch spokesman Matt David, however tells me the group was charged "significantly more" than MoveOn.org for its ad. The organization says it plans to run a response to the MoveOn.org NYT ad in the Times, "and we plan to demand the same ad rate they paid," David says.

The second story may well be that Rudy did this the Firstest and the Mostest.

Undecided Republicans may like that scrappiness and the agressiveness.

Which is why Democrats and the drive-by’s worry about Rudy the most.
