GOP’s Bad Week Gets Worse As Rudy Giuliani Tells President Obama To Be More Like Bill Cosby

Rudy Giuliani put to rest any doubts about his racism by telling President Obama to be more like Bill Cosby while blaming the president for the shooting of two police officers in Ferguson.

The New York Daily News detailed Giuliani’s blaming the president for the Ferguson shooting while comparing Obama to Bill Cosby during a radio interview on AM970:

“It all starts at the top. It’s the tone that’s set by the President,” Giuliani said.

He added he just returned from a multi-city trip overseas and the United States is constantly derided there as a “racist state.”

….

“It is the obligation of the President to explain … that our police are the best in the world,” said Giuliani.

Obama is also not addressing the “enormous amount of crime” that’s being committed by African-Americans due to “historical” reasons, Giuliani said.

“I hate to mention it because of what happened afterwards, but (he should be saying) the kinds of stuff Bill Cosby used to say,” said Giuliani.

Giuliani expanded on his views that Obama is to blame for the Ferguson police shooting during an appearance on Fox News:

On Fox News, Giuliani repeated his claim that President Obama and Attorney General Eric Holder created the “atmosphere” that led to the Ferguson police officers being shot.

African-American crime rates have been falling during the Obama presidency, and the myth that the president hates the police is not backed up by any facts. During the president’s speech in Selma last weekend he said, “With such effort, we can make sure our criminal justice system serves all and not just some. Together, we can raise the level of mutual trust that policing is built on – the idea that police officers are members of the communities they risk their lives to protect, and citizens in Ferguson and New York and Cleveland just want the same thing young people here marched for – the protection of the law. Together, we can address unfair sentencing, and overcrowded prisons, and the stunted circumstances that rob too many boys of the chance to become men, and rob the nation of too many men who could be good dads, and workers, and neighbors.”

The night that the grand jury’s decision not to indict Darren Wilson was announced, the president said, “There is never an excuse for violence against police, or for those who would use this tragedy as a cover for vandalism or looting.”

Today (3-12-15), the President tweeted from the White House account, “Violence against police is unacceptable”:

Violence against police is unacceptable. Our prayers are with the officers in MO. Path to justice is one all of us must travel together. –bo

In fact, President Obama routinely praises police officers and first responders during his speeches. The reality of President Obama’s words does not match up with the race-based tales that Rudy Giuliani has been spinning. When viewed within the context of his comments about the president not loving America, it is clear that Giuliani is upping the racist ante with his latest comments.

According to Giuliani, President Obama needs to be more like a suspected serial rapist celebrity. It has been a bad week for Republicans. Their Iran letter revealed the depths of their Obama hate, and Rudy Giuliani keeps putting exclamation points on the racism behind the Republican contempt for this president.
