Giuliani actually claimed there were no domestic terror attacks during Bush's two terms. He's a complete idiot. But such lies are standard Republican reasoning. Last month, former Bush spokeswoman Dana Perino claimed no terrorist attacks ever happened on Bush's watch. She must be smoking crack because on Bush's watch thousands of innocent people were blown up by terrorists right here on our soil.
When Republicans do admit that the worst terrorist attack in world history did actually occur, they claim it was inherited. So in their world, the attacks never happened, but if they did, it was because of Bill Clinton.
It has been a staple of the lunatic Republican Party to want to deny history. The last 8 years never really happened. Or at least it didn't happen the way reality recalls. The GOP did not run up a $1.3 trillion deficit, they did not leave Obama with two on-going endless wars, they did not cause the financial crisis and they did not increase the size of government more than any administration in history. All of that is just basic Republican history. And thanks to the spineless media, we are all forced to live in it.
*Update:
Forgetting 9/11 is crazy in its own right. Expecting the entire world to believe your delusion is another thing totally. Yet it seems the media is perfectly fine with allowing Republicans to pretend that 9/11 never happened, or that if it did happen, that they exhibit no responsibility for it whatsoever.
**Update:
Media whipping boy, Georgie Stephanopoulos, admits on his blog he made a mistake by not pressing the only mayor of a large metropolitan area to have 3,000 of its people blown up by terrorists when he made the comment that "we had no domestic attacks under Bush."
It seems even with his "my fault" admission, Georgie still can't do his job.
Later in the day, Giuliani issued a clarifying statement that he misspoke and meant to say that we didn't have any domestic terrorism on Bush's watch but now have since Obama took office. Again, Giuliani is lying. We indeed had plenty of domestic terrorist attacks after 9/11 and completely under Bush's watch. In fact, some were even committed by MUSLIMS!! And once again, George did not press him on it.
