The International Association of Fire Fighters accused Republican Rudy Giuliani of exploiting the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks because a supporter is holding a $9.11-per-person fundraiser for the presidential candidate.

The union -- already a vocal critic of Giuliani's -- said Tuesday that the fundraiser's "$9.11 for Rudy" theme is an abuse of the image and symbols of the 2001 attacks.

Here's the deal.
If Judy Rulianna were a woman, he would be call a slut.

Come to think of it he likes to dress in drag so I guess we can call him a slut.

Oh Judy, Judy, Judy you slut you.

Give Rude-ee a break, perhaps he will take a discounted full-page ad out in the New York Times and discredit those who came up with the $9.11 idea (that he had no clue about)!

Politicians Suck! ALL politicians suck, Democratic or Republican. All politicians are like an unfaithful wife (or husband), they'll tell you what you want to hear (even though it's all lies) while fucking the next door neighbor. Politicians have one and only one agenda - to get elected or re-elected so they can give the hightest bidder (i.e. corporate America) exactly what it wants.

Heck, if they charged $9.12 they could use the other pennies to buy Judith a few more rhinestone tiaras.

My favorite joke of the moment:

"Rudy how tall are you?"

Seriously, the jokes about him and 911 are in the millions now. The guy has no fucking clue what he is talking about. NY hates this guy like no one else. I guess dumping 911 victims bodies wasn't such a good move on his part. Let's not forget that this idiot had to be brought down by the NY Supreme Court for his fascist behavior, trying to shut down the NY Art Museum because they wouldn't remove a African painting of the Virgin Mary painted with cow dung.

The guy flips on every issue imaginable and it's all on tape. Rudy would have a better chance competing in a drag show than an election.

Rudy lied about 9/11.

Ask Rudy about building 7.

Rudy is a Bush/Cheney Co-Conspirator and should be in prison.

You are only proving what an typically ignorant and misinformed troll you are. Giulliani is as much like FDR or Churchill as your dear leader, monkeyboy, is like Jesus Christ. Giulliani is the biggest opportunist on the planet - like most of the Repuke candidates.

It makes me ill when I read narrow minded bullshit about rudy the 'hero'. Rudy's hero status is the best marketing job since OJ's murder trial.

Rudy was alseep at the wheel on 9/11. Rudy did nothing on 9/11 except pose for photo ops. And since 9/11, Rudy has raked in MILLIONS on the fear mongering circuit telling everybody what a hero he is.

Rudy is like the bad peanut that you get in a bag - you crack open the shell and find nothing but a shrivelled little piece of dirt on the inside.

Hillary, Bill, FDR, Churchill and EVERYBODY ELSE IN THE ENTIRE WORLD are not the ones who made the decision to put the command center for all of NYC in the WTC, even after it had already been attacked by terrorists. Nor did they buy cheapo radios from a crony, radios that didn't work in tall buildings. Those two blunders that ended up costing thousands of lives were made by your little Rudy, alone, by himself.

Rudy may have marched around the disaster scene, but his own reckless and crooked behavior is responsible for the loss of many lives. Anywhere else, any place without gullible Republikkers, Rudy would be an outcast. Nobody would be happy with his "work" except (possibly) the crony who sold him the bad radios and made a handsome profit.

How curious that you chose to use the word "image," because that is all Rudy has going for him. An image created by PR-flacks that is belied by the real facts of the 9/11 tragedy.

Of course, Republikkers like him. All Republikkers are suckers for bogus symbols and make no demands at all that might require their chosen leaders to live up to any of the slogans or other bullshit that they spoon-feed to the party loyalists. The party regulars are prone to hide their little pointy heads in the sand to keep them from hearing the truths that reveal the clay feet of their little phony icons.

The people who lost family members in the WTC know the truth and they are disgusted with your little tinhorn.

And just what was the example of Rudy's heroism? So someone has to be near a tradgic event to be a good leader???? PPPUUULLLLEEESSSEEE! Let's hear about rudy's family values, or how he would run the country, or how would he handle the middle-east? If there had been more than 2 planes that day, Rudy would have been able to do squat. What did he do besides walk down to the site with bullhorn in hand??
Let's not diminish the genuine heroism of those firefighters and police that were running into a burning building, while rudy stood by and watched.

Rudy is helping his our would-be corporate/fascist rulers to usher in an age of fascism, by ghoulishly using the tragic events of 9-11 as a shoehorn.

It is only knowledge, courage, and deligence that stands between us and fascism. I highly recommend that you read and share this article by Naomi Wolf on the 10 steps toward fascism. An excerpt is also included below.

Shalom to all.

http://www.globalresearch.ca/index.php?context=va&aid=5487


From: "Fascist America in 10 Easy Steps"

"Right now, only a handful of patriots are trying to hold back the tide of tyranny for the rest of us - staff at the Center for Constitutional Rights, who faced death threats for representing the detainees yet persisted all the way to the Supreme Court; activists at the American Civil Liberties Union; and prominent conservatives trying to roll back the corrosive new laws, under the banner of a new group called the American Freedom Agenda. This small, disparate collection of people needs everybody's help, including that of Europeans and others internationally who are willing to put pressure on the administration because they can see what a US unrestrained by real democracy at home can mean for the rest of the world.

We need to look at history and face the "what ifs". For if we keep going down this road, the "end of America" could come for each of us in a different way, at a different moment; each of us might have a different moment when we feel forced to look back and think: that is how it was before - and this is the way it is now.

"The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ... is the definition of tyranny," wrote James Madison. We still have the choice to stop going down this road; we can stand our ground and fight for our nation, and take up the banner the founders asked us to carry.

My apologies. I meant to say:

"Rudy is helping his financial patrons, our would-be corporate/fascist rulers, to usher in an age of fascism, by ghoulishly using the tragic events of 9-11 as a shoehorn."

I guess I'm too distracted today (the looming spector of a lawless, murderous, authoritarian fascist state in the not so distant future can do that to you).

Americans seem to be like the frog in the incrementally heated pot of water. A frog would immediately jump from a pot of boiling water, but will passively boil to death if the water begins at a comfortable temperature but is gradually heated to boiling.

On a daily basis, a cabal of neo-con traitors are eroding our freedoms gradually, and the majority of Americans seem to neither notice or care about preserving our Constitution and the foundational freedoms of our Nation.

We have been given lies, phoney wars, torture, domestic spying, etc., in incremental doses, and the MSM (the Bush Administration gives the Washington Press Corp a spanking anytime they deviate from the approved script, and the reply always seems to be "thank you sir, may I have another") and our Congress (both GOP and DEM) continue to happily serve up more of our freedoms to an ever growing beast in the all powerful Executive Branch that now seems to control all three branches of government and the MSM through their corporate patrons.

Why should you care?

Read some history, and see what life is really like for people living (and often dieing) under a totalitarian government.

It doesn't have to be that way.

But every day they are allowed to continue, the fascists dig in deeper and deeper into our government and culture, and they will be that much harder to remove.

I keep thinking that today is the day they will have gone too far, and that the American People will regain their love of freedom and respect for the principles of our Constitution . . .

In regards to Rudy as prosecutor, I followed his career.

I don't give him credit for his work because he always acted with the idea of making headlines rather than with the intent of doing good [putting away criminals].

IMHO if one is acting with ulterior motive, then one does not get credit or recognition for the act one is performing.

It would be the same as Rudy helping an old lady with a walker cross the street. If he helps the elderly person then silently goes on his way, that's commendable.

But if he sees a news camera taping an unrelated event, then rushes over to help the the lady cross, and he would not have otherwise helped the person, then I say "Fook you Rudy."

Since Rudy used his prosecutor position as a springboard for political office, his acts do not get added to the plus column.

Query: I wonder how many defendant rights he trampled on and railroad jobs he committed so to get headlines. You can bet there are some skeletons in that particular closet.

They have reversed the order of the posts, with the newest at the top. I think some pages are taking a while to load because they are tinkering with the threads. Just a guess, 'cause I ain't no techie.
