"I wasn't necessarily referring to genocide..."

John Deady, the co-chair of New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy Giuliani, talks to TPM Central about the need to "get rid" of Muslims:

John Deady, the co-chair of New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy, is standing by the comments he made in the controversial interview with The Guardian we posted on below, in which he said that "the Muslims" need to be chased "back to their caves."

In an interview with me, Deady confirmed that when he made the comments, he was referring to all Muslims.

"I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims," Deady told me by phone from his home in New Hampshire. "They're all Muslims."


Combine that view with some of Giuliani's and you get the idea of what kind of presidency his would be. Steve Benen at The Carpetbagger Report summed that up back in August:

And after having read the piece, I can safely say that Giuliani is as nutty as a fruitcake. His approach to foreign policy is spectacularly dangerous, irresponsible, and stupid. Imagine Dick Cheney with a loaded gun in one hand, and an empty bottle of antidepressants in the other, and you can start to get the idea.


Digg!
