"We had no domestic attacks under Bush; we've had one under Obama."Really? 9/11 ring a bell? Richard Reid? Anthrax?
Snufalufagus then blogs the following. Admirable, but still wrong.
Through his spokesman, Rudy Giuliani has clarified the remarks he made this morning on GMA regarding terrorist attacks on the United States under Presidents Bush and Obama.Rudy then went on TV claiming that the anthrax attacks weren't terrorism because they weren't Islamic in nature.
The Mayor's spokesman says that the remark "didn't come across as it was intended" and that Giuliani was "clearly talking post-9/11 with regards to Islamic terrorist attacks on our soil."
Whatever the Mayor meant, it's not what he said. All of you who have pointed out that I should have pressed him on that misstatement in the moment are right. My mistake, my responsibility.
Questions:
1) So the only terrorism is Islamic?
2) Why are these guys so afraid of taking Republicans to task over their terror failures and subsequent lies about it?
Rachel isn't.

Chris Matthews reverted to the old (good) Chris Matthews this week, in a debate with Todd Harris over the "no attacks" mythology:
Matthews suggested one answer, which Harris latched onto. "The Bush administration kept the country safe," said the guest.
"Except the one big day," the host shot back.
"YouTube is watching," he told Harris. "You're the Republican consultant. One of the best in the country. Tell me what the Republican party has done for this country in the last ten to 20 years."
Harris stayed silent.
"Thank you," Matthews said to his recurring GOP guest as he closed the segment. "We'll have you back with the answer."
