Unless you've been in a cave the last few hours (har har), you've probably seen that John Deady, the co-chair of state Veterans for Rudy, an official member of Rudolph Giuliani's campaign, has made an [ahem] controversial statement regarding Muslims.
pontificator's diary :: ::
"[Rudy's] got I believe the knowledge and the judgement to attack one of the most difficult problems in current history and that is the rise of the Muslims, and make no mistake about it, this hasn't happened for a thousand years. These people are very dedicated and they're also very very smart in their own way. We need to keep the feet to the fire and keep pressing these people until we defeat or chase them back to their caves or in other words get rid of them."
That is nothing short of an endorsement of ethnic cleansing, and perhaps even genocide, of Muslims.
But perhaps, you might think, it was a mistake. Perhaps Mr. Deady misspoke, or was quoted out of context?
No.
Greg Sargent just interviewed the guy. He is John Deady, the co-chair of Veterans for Rudy in New Hampshire, and he is not backing off his original comments, telling Greg: "I don't subscribe to the principle that there are good Muslims and bad Muslims. They're all Muslims."
This guy needs to be fired. Immediately. If he's not fired before the start of the evening news tonight, then the Giuliani campaign, and Giuliani himself, will have endorsed a policy of ethnic cleansing of Muslims.
