Giuliani Camp Returning $9.11 Donor Checks

The Wall Street Journal's Washington Wire Blog:

The third quarter disclosure reports out today indicate that Rudy Giuliani's campaign is actively returning checks in denominations that are tied to the 9/11 terrorist attacks, with eight returned checks to individual donors for $9.11, and one returned contribution of $911.

Giuliani, who was New York mayor at the time of the attacks, took some heat last month when reports surfaced that a group of California supporters were hosting a "$9.11 for Rudy" fund-raiser. Critics and presidential opponents said the former mayor was capitalizing off the terrorist attacks, but his campaign stressed that there was no direct connection between the individual donors and the campaign's fund-raising operation.

It's pretty disgusting to use those thousands of dead for your political gain.
But, what else would you expect from the Komedy quartet of George, Dick, Karl & Rudy.

Rudy decided the whole thing was in bad taste. He will now only take contributions for $3828. The number of U.S. Deaths Confirmed By The DoD. Sign-up now before the next big explosion.

[HermioneGranger]

I believe the number of overall deaths was around 2700, a fews hundred not being U.S. citizens.

Giving his highness Rudy a cheque for $9.11 is an insult to his senses. He still smarts from taking the funding out of communication equipment for firemen. Some people may think this contributed to so many firemen getting killed. Rudy knows they got killed because they got into harms way.....if they had done what he had done and shirked their duty...many would still be alive today.

Rudy Giuliani capitalizing off the terrorist attacks? "Who'd of thunk it." The next thing we're going to learn is that the Pope is Catholic and a bear craps in the woods!!

Priceless!

How did this fool become a hero on 9/11? He appeared on the street and acted like he knew what he was doing, while the President stayed up in the air, and Cheney went to his bunker When the truth is known regarding what really happened on that day, there will be a few less heroes. I have sent a link to a summary of Corporate News items regarding 9/11. . . http://www.wanttoknow.info/911information

The fool became a hero because people were just plain scared. They wanted a leader, any leader. Even W looked good. How bad is that? You can bet that old Rove, Cheney and Bush are cooking up a new brew to scare the hell out of Americans. Count on it.

[pesojoe]

Let him keep his $9.11,he earned it having to balance himself while standing on the backs of all those dead Americans. He is a waste of humanity.

[BigBagel]

How about a 9-11 line of clothing.

[olivia]

I'm surprised he hasn't tattooed "9/11" on his forehead - just in case people forget.

I heard his tiny yapping dogs are named Nine, One and One, and that his personal chili recipe is called "Four Alarm 9/11 Chili."

[StillAmused]

I'm ("9/11") also ("9/11") returning the dress ("9/11") and the wig ("9/11"). Then, I'm returning ("9/11") Bernie Kerik ("9/11")... if I keep it up ("9/11"), pretty soon I'll look ("9/11") like a guy with ("9/11") good judgement.

WHAT ABOUT THE $.02 ONES?...

Yeah, what about them?....

[transendentilist]

Like nearly all neo-cons, he has no shame.

[whomung]

To be a NeoCon, you have to be personality disordered... something less than human...

I'm increasingly seeing this as a struggle for the future of the species.... Are humans, or sociopaths going to rule the world?

And absolutely it's a class struggle

And sociopaths --as we have seen-- have an advantage in a fight --because they are willing to do ANYTHING, NO MATTER HOW DESPICABLE....

things HUMANS wouldn't do

[CyrusBeaucephus]
