Rudy volunteer resigns after anti-Muslim comments
A Rudy Giuliani campaign volunteer has resigned 48 hours after making derogatory comments about Muslims.
Aides said Saturday morning that John Deady, co-chairman of New Hampshire Veterans for Rudy, is no longer associated with the campaign after telling multiple media outlets this week that he believed Giuliani was the best candidate to drive Muslims “back to their caves.”
Deady, an 80-year old WWII veteran, told the British newspaper, The Guardian, earlier this week that Giuliani has “the knowledge and the judgement to attack one of the most difficult problems in current history and that is the rise of the Muslims…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.”
Asked to clarify what he meant by “the Muslims,” Deady told the Talking Points Memo blog that he did not distinguish between “good muslims and bad Muslims.” Below is a video excerpt of the Guardian interview.
Official Statement from Rudy Giuliani New Hampshire Chairman Wayne Semprini:
“Mr. Deady offered his resignation from his volunteer position in the campaign and I accepted his resignation.”

I agree with Deady. I suppose we need to have another disasterous attack like that of 9/11 to shake us back into ‘right’ thinking! Are ALL muslims inherently ‘evil’ … no…emphatically no, but the paradox between the cultures both morally and spiritually is as different and far away from one another as east is from the west.
Poor Mr. Deady. A loyal man who has done his duty for our country yet he has not researched to know that terrorists are the only ones we are at war with in defense of our lives and who also hasn’t researched his chosen candidate at all.
This clearly demonstrates that we all need to do our homework on every issue and every candidates background so we know whether what they are saying to us now is not a pipedream or nonsense….whether they actually walk the talk.

[...] McCain responds: After McCain was read the script of the ad from a journalist’s blackberry, he said he was not surprised by the new attack, the second in such days. “I think we expected it… We did have a response ad and I think it’s effective. But for us to get down in that tit for tat — we’re just not going to do that.” [...]
If Rudy were a real leader he would not have accepted Deady’s resignation. Rudy should have stood up and explained Deady’s comments.
So the guy didn’t specifically point out “Radical Muslims”….. He said Muslim rather than Radical Muslim. Muslims will speak out against Deady, but they won’t speak out against RADICAL ISLAMISTS. This is where the truth lies.
I, personally, was set straight on the serious-dangerous nature of Islam in that is is not a religion. It is, in fact, a Political Ideology & Policital Institution …. whose doctrine is the Koran.
Realize the weight of this reality!
The Taliban was the closest thing to true Islam. Where Islam is BOTH the Religion and the LAW OF THE LAND.
By the Way:
In my opinion Deady’s comment was probably more on-target than if he said ” … Radical Muslims” Why? Because, not one single Muslim world-wide has regularly publicly and fervently declared on a regular basis the Islamic acts of Terrorism as wrong. Not one has taken an active role to speak out and seek change. OOPS there is actually one. The only muslim having enough courage to do so is a woman.
The huge community of so-called “moderate” Muslims have only one with enough courage? All the men of the community hide behind a woman to do the right and courageous?
SHAME IS CAST UPON ALL MUSLIMS BY YOUR COMMUNITY’S SILENCE OF SO MANY YEARS NOW.
Good for McCain,for not getting into the kind of polotics that Romney wants to play….Carl Cameron,made a statement yesterday,that the candidates were close to calling each other Liars,and if that were directed toward Romney it would be true,unless ou want to believe that He “saw” his Dad march with Martin Luther King,but then Romney is immune from certain things,like being grilled on His religion,as Huckabee is………But when things like what can Bain Capitol/Clear channell are cotemplated that can even sway the people at fox tward the liar himself…..way to go Fox,but the news is out,and you’re lookng a lot like everybody else,NBC incuded….so much for fair and balanced
Comments by JP reflect his inherent lack of knowledge and understanding, that is the very basis of all monolithic religions and more so for christianity. What does he have to say for the killing rampage in Iraq of innocent children and bystanders, what does he have to voice in defence for the reckless carnage by blackwater in Iraq. A country that was invaded on Sheer Lies and Falsified information of WMD. Did he ever bother to write SHAME IS CAST UPON ON ALL THOSE LIKETH HIM WHO WERE SILENT on this ongoing, modern day and age holocaust
Mr. Deady was correct. My husband, a WWII veteran passed away in January prior to the Iraq war. At his memorial, a friend told a story he thought Bill would have loved.
A Muslim, a Native American Indian and a Cowboy were having a beer. The Native American Indian made the comment “We were so many and now so few”; the Muslim, “We were so few and now so many”; the Cowboy scratched his head, sipped his beer and then said “Yeh, but there has not been a Cowboy Muslim War yet”
Is it going to to take another attack on this country to make the liberals pay attention? I hope not.
I mean no disrespect to our Native Americans in our country. It was nothing less than genocide what we did to all of the tribes. I agree with the Lakotas voiding all the treaties signed and never delivered by this country.
When will Huckabee’s supporters resign after their anti-mormon bigotry?
Why doesn’t the media demand this? It’s ok to be bigoted towards Mormons and not OK to slander Muslims?
If a person must resign after doing anti-one religion bigotry, Huckabee would not have any volunteers left, in fact, he would have to resign after his planted comments at the New York Times…and his campaigns push polls…and whisper campaigns in churches…and illegal post cards…and bigoted phone calls…and those were just the anti-Catholic issues I haven’t even started with the anti-Mormon bigotry exhibited by the Huckster.

Look at Mitt’s family values–five sons, all married, all successful, grandkids, works hard, doesn’t take bribes, doesn’t take the furniture from the governor’s mansion, doesn’t take barbecues in exchange for political positions (Huckabee did all of those things and registered at Target for a wedding that occurred a decade earlier so that he could get more ‘gifts’ from friends…)
Huck is a corrupt version of Jimmy Carter. A cross between Jimmy and Bill Clinton. All of Bill’s corruption and Jimmy’s holier than thou…
Noboby will support Rudy. I will call all Muslim brothers and sisters at the USA Muslim online commnuty http://www.SearchingMuslim.com against him.
Volunteering is the best way to contribute as a human.Time is worth more than money. Great post. I appreciate your work.
