Former New York City mayor Rudy Giuliani — the only mayor in American history to have commercial airplanes take down his city’s two most prominent buildings — is now “thtumping” for Mayor Bloomberg in New York City in his campaign against Democrat Bill Thompson. Did you know that Bill Thompson is black, old Jewish people? Rudy fears a return to the New York of old — “You know exactly what I’m talking about.”
Raising the specter of a return to higher crime and greater anxiety, former Mayor Rudolph W. Giuliani warned on Sunday that New York could become a more dangerous city if Mayor Michael R. Bloomberg is not re-elected in November.
Mr. Giuliani did not mention Mr. Bloomberg’s Democratic challenger, William C. Thompson Jr., by name. But during the first of two campaign events alongside Mr. Bloomberg, he said that not long ago many parts of the city were gripped by “the fear of going out at night and walking the streets.”
“You know exactly what I’m talking about,” Mr. Giuliani said at a breakfast sponsored by the Jewish Community Council in Borough Park, Brooklyn. “This city could very easily be taken back in a very different direction — it could very easily be taken back to the way it was with the wrong political leadership.”
Okay so it’s not like, “I use the N-word all the time because of my racial superiority theories”-type racist, but based on Rudy’s history — 4% approval rating among black people! — he is more or less always speaking in code about black people, or muslins. Is Bill Thompson muslin too?

“You (9/11) know exactly (blacks) what I’m talking (9/11) about!”
Queen Rudy
The Rat
Cross dressing,ferret hating fascist!
I guess he means it could get as bad as it was when he was mayor.
Oh noes Dinkinz muslins will hijax more planez!
Mom?
Old Jews don’t like the schvartzes. Heh. Oh Rudy…you’re my little yentleman.
Rudy 9u11ani
No big deal. He was just talking about THOSE PEOPLE who are always the problem.
I thought cross-dressers were gentle, accepting souls, with no hatred in their corset-squished hearts for anyone.
Is Bill Thompson a ‘fancy schwartza with a mustache?’
But, Rude-Dawg, what if he’s blak, muslin and ghey? I mean, really? Will you just blow him and piss off?
Q: Can he be funny again?
A: Why start now!?!
Johnny Zhivago: It was mostly bad for black people when he was mayor. The Jews have nothing to worry about.
HARLEM GLOBETROTTERS DID 9/11!?
user-of-owls: Win, and yet somehow we all lose.
Manhattan is white and the trains run on time.
I’m not even an old Jew (well, not THAT old, anyway), and he’s scaring the crap out of me : How the hell did he get his hands on my Grandma Lil’s wardrobe, may she rest in peace ?
Maybe he was worried about Times Square being taken over by ghey pr0n shops again? Because Times Square used to be so crass and awful. It’s now the absolute picture of chic, understated class.
You’re all overreacting. Rudy hates blacks and Jews equally. He’s just trying to get them to kill each other, in the hopes of a)reducing congestion in NYC, b)re-electing Bloomberg and c)paving the way for him to win the NY gubernatorial race. That way, Rudy defeats not only Patterson, but EVERYONE. The only drawback is that a good day for Rudy is a bad day for earth.
I used to have some work connections with the Jewish Community Council of Boro Park. It’s not old Jews who are creaming all over him, it’s super crazy off the charts racists xenophobic Chassidic Jews.. I think Rudy would like to bring back the Crown Heights craziness that was so wonderful in the NYC days of old.
“This city could very easily be taken back in a very different direction — it could very easily be taken back to the way it was with the wrong political leadership.”
In Giuliani’s defense, Thompson probably shouldn’t have hired Cyrus as his campaign manager.
I’m getting a whiff of Frank Burns.
Little Miss Baltimore: Gyahd exactly so. Velvet Heights.
The line “and THAT’S why I made the police act as a taxi service for my mistress” is always a killer.
You know exactly what I’m talking about –
HITLER?! Is he talking about Hitler? Is Hitler trying to be mayor of New York?
fucktard
While I’m regularly asked if Bill Thompson is a secret muslin by random passersby on the streets, he is not, to the best of my knowledge, a secret muslin.
Still, it’s what people are talking about!
Where is Bill Thompson’s BIRF CERTIFICUT????!!!22!!
Oh Ru911. Showcas1n9 the e1ectoral apt1tude that 1ost every pr1mary he ran 1n a b1d to win the 9OPer nom1nat1on.
Y’know what I hate? Rudy getting all the credit for New York being safer. The crime rate dropped considerably under Dinkins’ watch, which can partially be attributed to the police tactics adopted by the police commissioner Dinkins hired (and Rudy ran off). The rest was just demographic and economic change that led to a large drop in crime rates everywhere. Oh, and the crime rate continued dropping after Rudy left office.

Giuliani/Taitz 2012! Fear meets doubt!
The worst part of being a Yankees fan, is constantly having to see Rudy’s smug smile.
I don’t know why Bloomberg is bothering to pay Giuliani to campaign for him. Bill Thompson isn’t even ADVERTISING as far as I can tell, while I get 2 or 3 Bloomberg mailers a week and his commercials are on TV all the time.
Rudolph Giuliani doesn’t want a return to the “old days,” he’s as tired of Giuliani Time as any of us.
Does he mean the old days when Bernie Kerik was running things and keeping his mistress in a condo rented for 9/11 recovery crews? Yeah, we don’t want that again.
Yikes. I thought Bloomberg was supposed to be so damned smart. Another illusion shattered. Seems to me that today’s Rudy is pretty much guaranteed to turn off every voter except the wingnuts. It won’t take much organizing for Thompson to run away with this one.
Rudy clearly means we can’t let the city slip back to New Amsterdam, because then Manhattan would be overrun by beavers.
Potater: Dam it all!
And he’ll say ‘Hymietown’ if he ever goes to Sylvia’s. Don’t forget to meantion the horrible specter of gay marriage!
if it wasnt for rudy i would have more porn in my stores than the 30 percent he said had to be full of non pornstuff…meanwhile he dressed in drag and had affairs damn him!
To be perfectly fair, it’s unclear whether he’s talking about black people or Democrat mayors.
So, it’s unfair to say that it was definitely thinly-veiled racism. An equally likely explanation is that he was simply injecting unnecessary and inappropriate Republican partisanship into a mayoral race between an Independant and Democrat, both moderates. See, doesn’t that sound *much* more appealing?
P.S. 9/11.
Ha! I totally thought Guiliani-in-drag was Orly Taitz.
Bloomberg IS Jewish! They’d vote for him anyway! What with the race-baiting?
By the way, isn’t America’s mayor due for his fourth wife about now?
I don’t know; WAS Giuliani present at the planning meetings for crashing the planes into the WTC? I’m sure Cheney has to have attendance records somewhere.

Maybe he was talking about how dangerous it is for blacks to walk in neighborhoods like Borough Park?

Guiliani bleeds empathy. Or he bleeds green. One or the other, I forgot.
Gregly: I don’t know, but he hasn’t denied it! hohohoho
Woe is the Democrat that has to run for the Mayor (Autocrat) of the City of New York. It’s really a lost cause. To be sure, though, there is no such thing as a New York City Republican in the traditional sense, anymore. The national Republican Party simply fields a business (Wall Street) party in New York, and stamps their name on it.
hunter.blatherer: BTW, that first story is absolutely disgusting, a 19-year-old man punching a little girl, and everything. What a waste of space.
