I must say I was a little disappointed in you George, I watch you all the time, and with the death of Tim Russert, I looked to you to be as hard nosed as He was. But boy you really just let that whole remark slip by what the hell were you thinking, how to get out of there without much conflict. I know that your time is limited but you should have stopped that egotistical hog wash in his hypocritical lie be4 another sentence was uttered. I mean after listening to him in the primaries talking about 9/11 until you wanted to put tape over his mouth. Trying to take all the glory from people [the police, firemen, emt's] who gave their lives trying to save us regular Americans. It got to the point that is where he lost alot of support if he had any. Please promise that since you are giving up "This week with" that your stint with GMA will be alot better than this last muddled mess because I believe that you are one of the best morning political commentators with an eye for the truth. Please do not let us down again.

Very convenient lapse there George, isn't it?
The elite of our media consists of shills and sycophants, especially when it comes to calling on the politicians of the right when they try to bamboozle. Why should anyone expect you to be too much different?

Too late to apologize George. You are now, and shall forever be in my mind, indicative of a cowardly and greedy media that would be content to sacrifice the future of our society for a year or two of profits. Resign.

And we assume you will be making your corrections and apologies on air tomorrow morning. You knew he was wrong when he said it, you owe your viewers an apology and pledge to not be a stenographer in the future.

So Guiliani "clarifies" by suggesting there were no attacks on US soil AFTER 9-11. That's still incorrect!!! When will you call him on THAT lie?
Posted by: Isis | Jan 8, 2010 3:22:32 PM
I have to agree with Isis. There were SEVERAL attacks after 911.
tainted with anthrax kill five across the United States, with politicians and media officials as the apparent targets. On July 31, 2008 Bruce E. Ivins a top biodefense researcher committed suicide.[31] On August 6, 2008 the FBI concluded that Ivins was solely responsible for the attacks and suggested that Ivins wanted to bolster support for a vaccine he helped create and that he targeted two lawmakers because they were Catholics who held pro choice views.
May 2002 Mailbox Pipe Bomber: Lucas John Helder rigged pipe bombs in private mailboxes to explode when the boxes were opened. He injured 6 people in Nebraska, Colorado, Texas, Illinois, and Iowa. His motivation was to garner media attention so that he could spread a message denouncing government control over daily lives and the illegality of marijuana as well as promoting astral projection.
2002 July 4: 2002 Los Angeles Airport shooting Hesham Mohamed Hadayet, a 41-year-old Egyptian national, kills two Israelis and wounds four others at the El Al ticket counter at Los Angeles International Airport. The FBI concluded this was terrorism, although they found no evidence linking Hadayet to any terrorist group.
October 2002 Beltway Sniper Attacks: During three weeks in October 2002 John Allen Muhammad and Lee Boyd Malvo killed 10 people and critically injured three others in Washington D.C, Baltimore, and Virginia. An earlier spree by the pair had resulted in 3 deaths in Louisiana, Alabama, Georgia, California, Arizona, and Texas to bring the total to 16 deaths. No motivation was given at the trial but evidence presented showed an affinity to the cause of the Islamic jihad.
March 2003 23: Sgt. Hasan Akbarwas charged in a hand grenade and shooting attack that killed Army Captain Christopher Seifert and Air Force Major Gregory Stone, while wounding 14 other soldiers on 23 March 2003. The attack took place at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait, a rear base camp for the invasion.
2006 March 5: Mohammed Reza Taheri-azar injured 6 when he drove an SUV into a group of pedestrians at UNC-Chapel Hill to "avenge the deaths or murders of Muslims around the world".
2006 Seattle Jewish Federation shooting, Egyptian shoots six Jewish women
2007 October 26: A pair of improvised explosive devices were thrown at the Mexican Consulate in New York City. The fake grenades were filled with black powder and detonated by fuses causing very minor damage. Police were investigating the connection between this and a similar attack against the British Consulate in New York in 2005.
2008 February: In the first reported incident of animal-rights extremists physically assaulting the family members of animal researchers, six masked activists attempted to force their way into the home of a University of California, Santa Cruz, researcher and injured the researcher's husband.
2008 March 3: Four multimillion-dollar show homes place in Woodinville, Washington are torched. The Earth Liberation Front is suspected in the fires.
2008 May 4 Multiple nail laden pipe bombs exploded at a Federal Courthouse in San Diego at 1:40 AM causing "considerable damage" to the entrance and lobby and sending shrapnel two blocks away. The F.B.I. is investigating links between this attack and an April 25 explosion at the FedEx building also in San Diego.
2008 July 27 Jim D. Adkisson opened fire in the Tennessee Valley Unitarian Universalist Church in Knoxville,Tennessee killing two and injuring seven before being tackled to the ground by congregation members. A note found in his SUV indicated this was intended as a suicide attack and said the church was apparently targeted because of its support of liberal social policies.

Mr. Stephanopolous: You do realize that the mayor's clarification is obfuscation, right? His spokesman says that Giuliani was "clearly talking post-9/11". Huh?? He's not taking the position that there were no attacks post-9/11 under Bush but this is an attack under Obama? How is the Christmas attempt different from the Richard Reid attempt - which happened post 9-11 while Bush was president? Giuliani was not telling the truth, just repeating the latest GOP talking point without challenge.
