Okay, I've neglected the thread for a few days, but here's my motive.

What the hell is Giuliani talking about? This nation was founded on the principle of anti-colonialism. The Founders were staunchly anti-colonialist. Being anti-colonialist is part of being American. So, we have Rudy Giuliani criticizing Obama for not loving the country, and then calling him anti-colonialist, which would indicate that he does love the country. Does that make sense to anyone, or has Rudy lost his marbles?

The root of Giuliani's rage makes no logical sense whatsoever.

It's sad that for something to make political sense, it doesn't have to follow logic and reason. What's even sadder is that, except for the right-wing base, this move by Giuliani make no political sense, either.

A history of President Obama being called ‘anti-colonial’ - The Washington Post
Thanks for the link. That's some twisted thinking going on.

Don't have the nerve to use your real account to attack others?

Who, in the 21st century, is "pro-colonial?"

I think it's perfectly understandable that he feels closer to black people than to white ones, one look at his family is enough, he has a black wife and black children...

And this has what to do with being anti-colonialist?

I was just saying because earlier in this thread I read that some think he does not appreciate whites enough...

Either way, I am still not sure what exactly people are accusing him of...

Do you agree with Giuliani that Obama is anti-colonialist? Are you anti-colonialist?
Anti-colonialist sounds like Newspeak.
