Rudy Giuliani dog-whistles race and crime fears while on the campaign trail for Mayor Michael Bloomberg. The former New York City mayor warned that if Bloomberg is not re-elected in November, the city will become more dangerous. "I worried daily that the city might be turned back to the way it was before 1993... and you know exactly what I'm talking about," Giuliani warned a group of Orthodox Jews in Brooklyn.
What exactly is Rudy talking about? Sounds like a none-too-subtle comparison between former Mayor David Dinkins, who is black, as is Bloomberg's opponent Bill Thompson.
Giuliani's incendiary rhetotric has been criticized by city leaders and Thompson's campaign. Bloomberg has no comment.
Classic Guiliani. Just a despicable character. Tomorrow he'll be clutching the pearls that anyone would even dare accuse him of playing the race card. His hatred for black people is palpable.

Funny. No offense to any New Yorkers in here, but I think of the period when David Dinkins was mayor as the last time I would ever think of living there.
Since Giuliani is as sleazy as they come, I guess I should be reassured that he and I disagree.

Guiliani and Bloomberg are venomous racists and both have shown just how corrupt and incompetent NYC mayors can be.

He is as low a creep as you can get, but, then again, Bloomberg wanted him out there stumping for him with the race baiting, so, he's actually worse, Rudy has never made it a secret as to how much he hates blacks.
