Howard Dean sent out this action alert today, after Rudy Giuliani stated some simple facts about the Democrats’ positions on terrorism.

Dear Friend,

Rudy Giuliani should be ashamed.

The former New York City Mayor is politicizing September 11th in his 2008 presidential bid. Here’s what he said at a recent campaign stop in New Hampshire:

“If a Democrat is elected president in 2008, America will be at risk for another terrorist attack on the scale of Sept. 11, 2001… Never ever again will this country ever be on defense waiting for (terrorists) to attack us if I have anything to say about it. And make no mistake, the Democrats want to put us back on defense!”

I won’t let this wannabe Republican nominee get away with remarks like these. Send a message to Rudy’s campaign headquarters and tell him to stop politicizing 9/11:

More than anyone, Rudy should understand the offensive meaning behind his remarks. When he stood at ground zero that tragic day, there weren’t any Republicans or Democrats — only Americans.

After trying to convince everyone that he was “America’s Mayor,” he now shows this sort of “leadership.”

I will not sit quietly while he takes the fallen heroes of September 11, 2001 to the campaign trail with him. It might win over the Republican Party, but it won’t win over the American people.

Rudy should know better.

Join me and send a message to Rudy’s headquarters and tell him that our country deserves better from a presidential candidate:

President Bush, not the Democratic Party, failed our country by never capturing the true culprit of the 9/11 attacks: Osama bin Laden.

Now, Rudy thinks he can take a page from President Bush and Dick Cheney’s playbook, using fearmongering to gin up support. The American people didn’t buy this sort of garbage in the 2006 midterm elections, and they’re not going to buy it in 2008.

Show Rudy — and all Americans — that the Democratic Party won’t stand for this sort of attack. We’re delivering this petition personally to the Giuliani for President campaign headquarters, so give Rudy a piece of your mind.

Demand an apology now:

Sincerely,

Gov. Howard Dean, M.D.

The left wing and “progressive” blogs are falling right in line and promoting this idiocy, as expected. Behold, the Democrat base.
