Rudy Campaign Might Ask Surrogate To Resign Over Anti-Muslim Comments
So it looks as if genocide might not be part of the Rudy campaign platform, after all.
The New York Daily News has picked up our story about John Deady, the co-chair of New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy, who told us in an interview that he doesn't "subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims. They're all Muslims."
The News also got a reaction from the Rudy campaign. It seems Deady might be asked to step down from his role:
The Giuliani campaign said it would ask Deady to resign "if these quotes are accurate." "They are inappropriate and not reflective of our campaign," said Wayne Semprini, Giuliani's New Hampshire chairman.
We'll see what happens.
Separately, in a bit of good news, a big news org actually got it right on Rudy's alleged political advantage on terrorism.
Late Update: Steve Benen has a good line about the Rudy surrogate's anti-Muslim remarks: "Note to political reporters: this is even more interesting than John Edwards’ hair." No it isn't, Steve. Sorry.
