Yesterday, former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani claimed he “was at ground zero as often, if not more, than most of the workers…in that sense, I’m one of them.” Election Central obtained video of the comments. Watch it:
After receiving harsh criticism from 9/11 rescue workers, Giuliani attempted to clarify his comments today on conservative Mike Gallagher’s radio show:
“I think I could have said it better,” he told nationally syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher. “You know, what I was saying was, ‘I’m there with you.’” […]
“What I was trying to say yesterday is that I empathize with them, because I feel like I have that same risk,” he said.
“There were people there less than me, people on my staff, who already have had serious health consequences, and they weren’t there as often as I was,” Giuliani said, “but I wasn’t trying to suggest a competition of any kind, which is the way it come across.”
Giuliani’s attempt at mollifying the outrage over his attempt to tie himself to 9/11 rescue workers didn’t satisfy many of his critics:
“He is such a liar, because the only time he was down there was for photo ops with celebrities, with politicians, with diplomats,” said deputy fire chief Jimmy Riches, who spent months digging for his firefighter son.
“On 9/11 all he did was run. He got that soot on him, and I don’t think he’s taken a shower since.”
UPDATE: The Politicker has the audio of Rudy’s radio appearance.
UPDATE II: Watch 9/11 rescue workers John Graham and Reggie Cervantes criticize Giuliani. Both of them appeared in Michael Moore’s SiCKO. For his part, Moore will be hosting a fundraiser for 9/11 rescue workers tomorrow.
Keep digging Rudy.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:35 pmThe whole country was with them in, in spirit anyway. I know I was, and I live on the west coast. Rudy is starting to self destruct it looks like. I think his presidential chances are heading downhill.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:35 pmRudy Giuliani, America’s Mayor.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:36 pm“Don’t be upset baby, I’m there for you.”
August 10th, 2007 at 4:37 pmGod Bless you, Rudy!!!
August 10th, 2007 at 4:40 pmSpin it however you want, Rudy. The fact is, the real people who worked to find victims’ remains and evidence THINK YOU’RE FULL OF SH*T.
Maybe time to slip into a frilly dress and have a drink with your ex-wife/cousin.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:44 pmThey’d better move the primaries up…the whole Republican field will implode if they don’t vote soon.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:45 pmKeep talking Rudy, don’t be afraid, you’re doing great. In one week two Republican candidates have written their own negative campaign commercials. Keep up the good work boys.

You just say that because you like him in a dress…
August 10th, 2007 at 4:48 pmYes he was there with the workers at ground zero, the same way all the chickenhawks are with the troops in Iraq, the way GB feels more pain than anyone else at the death of soldiers.

Every time that I observe Rudy on TV, in a newspaper or on the internet, I immediately realize that his opponents do not need to resort to negative ads. He makes them on his own. The Dems’ greatest fear is that he could fail to get the top of the Republic ticket.
August 10th, 2007 at 4:56 pm“What I was trying to say yesterday is that I empathize with them, because I feel like I have that same risk,†he said.”
So, Rudy, are you trying to tell us that you were in there 6-8 hours a day working side by side with the workers breathing the foul air? Or were you there for maybe a 10 minute “meet & greet”? I’m betting on the last one.
Rudy really doesn’t know when to keep his mouth shut. He has milked 911 for all it’s worth and he has seriously pissed off the rescue workers, fire fighters and family members of the dead. Spouting off something like this trying to make himself “one of the guys” was a seriously bad move on his part.

You take a rather shotgun approach to posting, don’t you? Throw in enough words like “smear”, “slander”, etc. and hope some of it hits the target. You really need to be more focused.
First, reporting VERBATIM what “America’s Mayor” said is not a smear, nor is it slander. Rudy’s looking this bad all on his own.
Second, if you are going to accuse lefties of a “gutter-trash” way of life, please A) back up that accusation with some specifics, and B) explain how it ties into the topic at hand.

First Mitt Romney compares his sons campaign work to serving in the hell that is Iraq.
Now we’ve got Quasimoto here, telling us he spent more time at ground zero than the rescue workers who dug through the rubble and muck 18 hours a day 7 days a week.
Hubris beyond belief.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:43 pmRudy will be a has-been within 3 months. His only platform is his status as the “hero of 911″, which is a total fabrication. It’s fun watching his “hero” persona come unravelled so quickly!

Hillary should lose, her campaign manager seems to use the KKKarl Rove play book. He makes stuff up and keeps repeating it until people start to believe it. Hillary is a Republican who married a Democrat. She is no Bill Clinton, she’s just taken some of his campaign wisdom to use as her own.

I agree that they aren’t necessarily tired of Republicans, but they’re tired of the current batch, and they are VERY tired of the Iraq war.
Yet the GOP contestants vying for the crown at the moment are all hawkish on the war and attempting to convince Americans that “if we don’t win in Iraq, we will have terrorists on Main Street USA” — and nobody is buying that anymore.
I’m surprised Ron Paul isn’t doing better. He’s a staunch libertarian, against the war, and for fiscal responsibility. He represents what the GOP used to be.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:48 pmAccording to a June 2007 poll, by a 52% to 31% margin, Americans say they want Democrats to win the presidency next year.

That’s probably even enough to beat the unbalanced Electoral College — a system that favors the smaller states, which traditionally vote GOP.

That’s not what the polls say. Giuliani runs about even with Clinton, Obama, and Edwards. Thompson runs about even with Clinton, and loses handily to either Obama or Edwards.

You’re thinking too rationally. The modern Republican Party is not the same as the Republican Party of 30 years ago, or even 10 years ago. It is a frightened, cowardly, corrupt, angry party that has thrown away things that it once valued: civil liberties, integrity, and accountability in government. What it stands for now is the maintenance of its own power base, and little else. Someone like Ron Paul may have appealed to many Republicans 30 years ago, but he’s a fringe character in today’s Republican Party.

Increasingly, the Democratic Party is “the people.” We don’t hate America; we ARE America.

We KNOW that the Florida State Police, which is controlled by the Govenor, who we know is the brother to the man running for President in 2000, set up roadblocks outside of broward county Florida, on ELECTION NIGHT, on the only road leading out of an ALL DEMOCRAT DISTRICT, keeping 16,000 DEMOCRAT Voters, who also happened to be Black, from VOTING.

You have an idea of what “America” is that bears little resemblance to what America actually is.

This is basically true. It is also true that Americans have–at least in theory–the right to vote out of office presidents who abuse this privilege. We’ll never know whether or not Americans exercised this right in the 2004 election, since we’ll never know whether or not their votes were counted fairly or accurately.

August 10th, 2007 at 6:37 pmYesterday Joe Biden introduced the idea of going after Bush and the rest of the Hole in the Head Gang, AFTER they are out of office. While many here are upset with that, as it seems to omit impeachment, I think Biden knows what he’s doing. Impeachment will come I think, but we’ve got to give the republican rats no where else to vote. And
Bush is a criminal. He surrounded himself with criminals. His own CHEIF POLICY ADVISOR was ARRESTED because he was the head of a SHOPLIFTING RING!
Gonzales was told by the Attorney General of the United States that his master spying program was UNCONSTITUTIONAL. A president is sworn to uphold the constitution, and failure to do so is impeachable.
And no, its not permissable to remove a sitting federal prosecutor to interfere with his prosecution of republicans. Don’t worry inbred C$nT.

I wouldn’t, either. I rely on results, such as the 2006 election. And I rely on my observations of the people around me. My gut feeling is that a certain percentage of Republican voters–maybe 20% of the total electorate, including yourself–would stand by Bush and the Republican Party if they all ate live babies on national television at the RNC Convention, convinced that it was some sort of liberal conspiracy. The rest of the country, however–slowly, surely, inextricably–is moving away from the Republican Party because they are coming to see how corrupt and morally bankrupt it is. This gives me some hope, but I take nothing for granted. The 2008 election is far from a sure thing at this point, especially since the electoral system has not yet been protected from tampering.

We don’t need a judge for that. Its a matter of public record. Florida state police set up a road block outside of broward county Florida, stopping traffic for miles, keeping 16,000 DEMOCRATS from reaching the polls.
The State Police are commanded by the GOVENOR.
The Govenor is the BROTHER of the man running for President.
The night of his BROTHERS ELECTION, the State Police set up a road block on the only road leading out of an ALL DEMOCRAT district.
16,000 DEMOCRAT VOTERS are KEPT FROM VOTING.
Then the Govenors brother wins the election by 537 VOTES!!!
FIVE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SEVEN VOTES!!!!!
And the woman in charge of recount?
Why, they appointed the woman who was the CHAIRMAN of the COMITTEE to ELECT THE GOVENORS BROTHER!!!

Giuliani, Big on Terror, Not on Evidence
We Are Change
Thursday Aug 23, 2007
Rudy Giuliani attended a fund raiser in Brooklyn at a jewish community center. His speech was mainly focused on, you guessed it, the war on terror. He made fun of Michael Moore’s new movie “Sicko” and denounced it with Pro-American HealthCare sentiments. However he failed to mention what he would do for the 1st Responders who are dieing by the thousands.
His speech was big on terror, but when it came time to discuss the evidence like the recent member of his own administration who has gone public, Michael Haas, he was deaf. Mr. Haas describes explosions in the lower level of WTC Building 7 before the towers collapse. He said he was told to get out of the command center in building 7 and he didn’t make it down the stairwell soon enough when around the 8th floor the stairwell blew up. He witnessed the lobby area completely blown out and was told not to look at the dead bodies as he left.
Rudy also didn’t want to answer questions about evidence provided by NY FireFighter John Schroeder which completely shatters the official story. Rudy wasn’t the only politician who didn’t want to hear about evidence, NY State Senator Marty Golden was also in attendance. He also fled when we asked him about the recent video by John and the statements taken by Fire Commissioner Thomas Von Essen from 503 firefighters and paramedics from the FDNY. In total there are 12,000 pages of evidence that the 9/11 Commission just flat out ignored.
(Article continues below)
These politicians are saying to the people who risked their lives on 9/11, we don’t care what you saw. We don’t care about the truth constituents. We don’t care about justice for the family members. Who cares if Osama Bin Laden is no longer wanted for the crimes of 9/11 (See his wanted poster on fbi.gov today).
History has now recorded these politicians and their staff for all time.
