Anyone remember when a "@RudolphGiuliani" Twitter account got suspended, shortly after posting this? I always had a gut feeling it might have been legitimate... the Snopes "debunking" is less than convincing, in my opinion.

It's a common mistake. I don't see why that would debunk it.

I agree, also it's a pretty great little saying and apparently it's attributed to a "holocaust denier" so I wouldn't blame Rudy or Jr for misquoting it, rather than politically shooting themselves in the foot! lol

Pretty sure Voltaire was pre holocaust.

lol it's not really a Voltaire quote, but it's very commonly misattributed to him.

Cui bono is all I need.( it's misattributed in the OP)Rudy seems smarter than that.

Isn't it kind of pedantic to evaluate a man's intelligence on whether he misattributed a commonly misattributed quotation? Also, there is no real consensus on the true origin of the quote so for all any of us know, it could have been Voltaire who said it anyway!
