Mayor Ruby Giuliani called Democratic Presidential Barack Obama just a gifted negro. Nah, Giulani did not say negro, he said gifted man, because he did not have the courage to be more specific.
From the text of Mayor Giuliani speech at the RNC:
"On the other hand, you have a resume from a gifted man with an Ivy League education. He worked as a community organizer, and immersed himself in Chicago machine politics. Then he ran for the state legislature - where nearly 130 times he was unable to make a decision yes or no. He simply voted "present."
More from the Mayor of New York City, Hillary's territory:
A few years later, he ran for the U.S. Senate. He won and has spent most of his time as a "celebrity senator." No leadership or major legislation to speak of. His rise is remarkable in its own right - it's the kind of thing that could happen only in America. But he's never run a city, never run a state, never run a business."
Was Rudy referring to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., here?
"He's never had to lead people in crisis.
This is not a personal attack....it's a statement of fact - Barack Obama has never led anything."
Nothing. Nada."
Yes Rudy-Fruity it clearly was a personal attack.
Giuliani, the failed republican candidate in becoming nominated for President, appeared to rejoice in stripping away at Senator Obama's accomplishments, from graduating from Harvard, working in a law firm, working in public service, to labeling Obama as simply a community organizer. Do you think Giuliani was simply stating that Obama was just one uppity N..... standing alone?
What say you?
The Republicans appears to not support community organizers
Alaska Governor Sarah Palin and the Republican Vice President candidate had this to say without naming Obama:
"I guess a small-town mayor is sort of like a “community organizer,” except that you have actual responsibilities."

Today we are all community organizers. We've managed to organize several collective voices into one very loud voice within our online community. Good for all of us.
