Giuliani Invokes 9/11 in Attack on Obama, Ayers

This morning, on "Fox and Friends," Rudy castigated Barack Obama's judgment by mentioning his association with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and Tony Rezko.

In his comments on Ayers, Giuliani called him a "self-professed unrepentant bomber who on September 11, the day we were all getting attacked, was saying he was just sorry that he didn't set off more bombs."

Giuliani seems to imply that Ayers was referring to the 9/11 attacks when in fact he made those comments, in reference to his membership in the Weather Underground, before 9/11 and the resulting story just happened to be published in that fateful day's edition of the New York Times.

He went on to call Obama "a guy with a very serious radical left-wing education," saying that Wright and Ayers were people "who he gets advice from, that's who he hangs around with and that's who he does business with."

Giuliani criticized the New York Times' recent front-page story on the Obama-Ayers relationship as a "pre-emptive help Obama strike," sarcastically asking how the mainstream media would report the story if John McCain sat on a board with former KKK grand dragon David Duke.

Obama adviser Robert Gibb responded by quipping that "taking judgment advice from somebody who thought it was a good idea to appoint the ethically-challenged Bernie Kerik to be in charge of the Department of Homeland Security is a little bit like being called ugly by a frog."
