Guiliani Slams Hillary For Failing To Condemn Moveon “Betray Us” Ad

September 21, 2007

Rudy Giuliani ripped Hillary Rodham Clinton with her own words yesterday, saying she supports the "politics of personal destruction" for not backing a measure condemning a liberal attack on Gen. David Petraeus.

Clinton was the only one of 25 senators, all Democrats, who opposed Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn's amendment to "strongly condemn" MoveOn.Org for running newspaper ads referring to the general as "Betray Us."

Barack Obama ducked yesterday's vote without explanation, his most conspicuous missed vote of the 2008 campaign.

"I'm not intimidated by MoveOn.org. … I think they are the worst thing in American politics," Giuliani said after arriving in Virginia from a fundraising trip to Britain. "They are precisely what the Clintons used to talk about as participating in the politics of personal destruction."

Bill and Hillary Clinton used that phrase often in the 1990s to defend themselves during the Monica Lewinsky and impeachment crises.

Giuliani went on to claim he was "the best standard-bearer for our party against Hillary Clinton or against Barack Obama or possibly a combination of both."

Clinton's campaign had no comment. On Wednesday former Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack, a Clinton supporter, questioned Giuliani's electability, citing the former mayor's "marriages" and family woes. And MoveOn.org posted a critical video of Giuliani earlier this week.

Both Obama and Clinton supported a failed resolution yesterday that would cut off war funding if withdrawal benchmarks aren't met.

In the past, Clinton has avoided getting too close to anti-war groups like MoveOn, but her vote yesterday was a recognition of the movement's unflagging influence in the Democratic primary.
