Rudy Giuliani has to be the dumbest candidate ever in an election. This time, he’s pulling out the old “we’re in a war” argument:

Giuliani said that MoveOn.org’s ad criticizing Gen. Petreaus was out of bounds and hinted that the group should face some sort of sanction.

“They passed a line that we should not allow an American political organization to pass,” he said. “We are at war right now, whether some people want to recognize it or not.”

I’m sure plenty of people realize it. No matter what we’re in, it’s still a free country, Mr. Giuliani, and until such time as it’s not, curtailing free speech because “there’s a war going on” just isn’t going to fly.

I hope he gets his ass handed to him in November ‘08 (seeing as he’s the most likely nominee at this point).
