CNN's Bill Schneider Falsely Says Rudy Has "Record On Terrorism"
CNN political analyst Bill Schneider on the TV just a few minutes ago:
"Conservatives admire Giuliani's record on terrorism, and his defiance of liberals in New York."
Hmmm...what "record on terrorism" would that be, Bill? Rudy's own official Web site bio is here. No "record on terrorism," or indeed national security experience of any kind, can be found therein. And no, the Churchillian 9/11 heroism his bio plugs doesn't constitute counter-terrorism or national security experience in any way. Sorry -- that's just reality.
If Rudy had a "record on terrorism," Bill, don't you think he'd be doing a bit more to get it out there?
And why do I have to tell you this in the first place, Bill? Aren't you a grown-up analyst for a very big and very powerful network? Shouldn't you know this sort of thing?

Didn't Rudy terrorise, a sizeable segment of the NYC population? Perhaps that's what CNN means by his "record on terrorism"? They never said anything about his record on *counter* terrorism...

Sayiing Rudy has a record on terrorism is like saying Chzechoslovakia has a record on military aggression.
My version is reality based: the 'publican party version isn't.

From the MSM Dictionary:
Record on Terrorism (phrase, meaningless): Endlessly repeating phrases like "war on terror", "al Qaeda", "emboldening the enemy", "9/11", and "fight them there so we don't have to fight them here" without every having done anything to actually prevent terrorist acts and, in fact, taking actions that might actually encourage terrorism. Only applicable to white, Republican men. See also: Bush, George W.; Thompson, Fred Dalton
