"America's mayor" Giuliani to compare * to WINSTON CHURCHILL

[Bluebear]

"They ridiculed Winston Churchill. They belittled Ronald Reagan.

But like President Bush, they were optimists; leaders must be optimists. Their vision was beyond the present and set on a future of real peace and true freedom.

Some call it stubbornness. I call it principled leadership.

President Bush has the courage of his convictions.

In choosing a President, we really don’t choose a Republican or Democrat, a conservative or liberal.

We choose a leader.

And in times of danger, as we are now in, Americans should put leadership at the core of their decision.

There are many qualities that make a great leader but having strong beliefs, being able to stick with them through popular and unpopular times, is the most important characteristic of a great leader.

Winston Churchill saw the dangers of Hitler while his opponents characterized him as a war-mongering gadfly.

Ronald Reagan saw and described the Soviet Union as “the evil empire” while world opinion accepted it as inevitable and belittled Ronald Reagan’s intelligence.

President Bush sees world terrorism for the evil that it is.

John Kerry has no such clear, precise and consistent vision."

I am seriously going to be sick.

[WindRavenX]

...W is bigger than the Pope. I'm sure they can make Ronnie a St.
:P

[Cocoa]

2. did Churchill say we can't beat Hitler?

I don't remember that part from my history classes.

[mohinoaklawnillinois]

5. Ding, ding, ding!!!

We have a winner here.

I don't remember that either from my history classes or reading several Churchill biographies.

Rudy is a hypocritical, arrogant asshole just like all the other Repukes.

8. "we shall never surrender" no he didnt say it

from a Grade A history nerd here.

[MikeG]

15. Which is what Kerry should say tomorrow:

I DON'T RECALL CHURCHILL SAYING WE CAN'T WIN A WAR AGAINST HITLER.

[madmax]

3. * being compared to Churchill

Winston is rolling in his grave.

[Cha]

11. I'm sure his Granddaughter, Emily, is Livid!

I read something on her a few months ago that said she was for John Kerry.

I hope she speaks out against this comparison by the former mayor of NYC.

[madmax]

20. That would be so cool.

But, we would have to read it in the U.K. Gaurdian.

4. This fictional George W. Bush is quite an impressive character!

This fictional George W. Bush is quite an impressive character!

Unwavering, strong, resolute. A bit hazy on details, but that's OK because you can always trust his gut instincts.

Too bad the REAL George W. Bush is a semiretarded child-man who is isolated and manipulated by his advisors, who have all sorts of insane schemes they're just dying to try out.

25. Would Churchill have sat for 7 minutes knowing his country was

under attack? Bush was so enthralled with My Pet Goat that he endangered the country so he could see how the story ended.

Churchill would have said, "Sorry kids, gotta go be a leader."

The DESERTER is such a dumb fuck.

[Placebo]

6. They Have Just Taken This Propaganda To a WHOOOLE 'NOTHER LEVEL

with that crap!

HOW DARE THEY, compare this idiot shrub who launched a war of CHOICE for PROFIT, to a man who was created by the times he lived in, and was a true leader.

[Cha]

7. See, that's why the fudge I can't watch.

bush is a fucking idiot..didn't Churchhill drink a lot?

bush is a dry drunk..maybe they are alike in that respect.

[Bread and Circus]

9. What Bullshit....Bush is the opposite of Churchill....

Bush is thin, Churchill was fat.....

No, just kidding....

[CanIgonow]

12. It is entirely appropriate that a chickenhawk like Giuliani would

compare a privileged deserter like * to Winston Churchill.In our debased culture,that such a comparison would go unchallenged and without evoking derisive laughter is also entirely appropriate.

I remember that Winston churchill said at one time that Courage is the only quality a person needs because all the other qualities we prize flow from it.To even think that * has any courage is to debase that quality.Men like Gandhi, Mandela and Churchill had courage.* has the exact opposite,cowardice, as his hallmark quality.

[DoYouEverWonder]

17. Guiliani did get to live the good life

and his father pushed him in politics when he was born.

A family member, was his roommate at Manhattan College. They got into a car wreck one night, Rudy was driving. When Rudy's dad arrived, he wanted the other fellow to take the rap, because Rudy was going into politics and couldn't afford to have a record. The fellow told Rudy's dad to go to hell.

[wurzel]

13. I knew Winston Churchill. Winston Churchill was a Prime Minister of mine.

of mine. And Giuliani is no Winston Churchill

[Chili]

24. Wurzel, it's worse than you think.

It's Bush = Churchill. Not even Guiliani, but... Bush.

You could lose consciousness trying to wrap your mind around that absurdity.

[wurzel]

28. My imagination ain't that big!!!

Sorry the * didn't register.

[rawstory]

16. HAHAHAHA!!

genius, and i didn't even catch that myself -- thanks a lot!@!!!!

[GOPAgainstGW]

18. MY GOD THESE !#%@!$! WILL SAY ANYTHING!!!!!!

[Catshrink]

19. Oh give me a fucking break....

You've got to be kidding.

[GOPAgainstGW]

21. Someone Forgot to Tell Bush-Churchill Was Defeat Right After WW II - Haa!!

[lefador]

22. Actually.....

Well... Churchill was shown the door by the British people after WWII, great public speaker... but not so great domestic politician. He is also credited with some of the policies that made a real mess of the middle East, esp. Mesopotamia. So in some sense yeah, I can see the parallels between Churchill and Bush the 2nd, both were booted out of office and both made a mess out of Iraq.

[Iceburg]

23. Hilarious --- Watch the British tabloids tomorrow

Tony B. is already in a noose and the Repugs are about to pull the hangman's plank.

[rawstory]

26. Yeah, post a british tabloid link when you see it.

[belle]

27. Well, they're both drunks with a strong sadistic streak. Beyond that...

well, they both have "W' in their names. Yeah, that's it.
