Relatives of 9/11 firefighters blast Ghouliani in video; cynical spokesman calls it "mockumentary"

NEW YORK - Relatives of firefighters killed at the World Trade Center reproached GOP presidential hopeful Rudy Giuliani in a video Wednesday, pairing footage of the falling twin towers with charges the city's former mayor was woefully unprepared for Sept. 11. The parents and siblings of some of the 343 firefighters killed in the terrorist attacks released the video with the International Association of Fire Fighters, which opposes Giuliani's candidacy.

Giuliani's campaign denounced the images, saying that the former mayor had a long history of supporting firefighters' health and safety and that the international union releasing the video only supports Democratic presidential candidates.

Fire union officials and family members, repeating claims they had made for months, charged Giuliani pushed for a faster cleanup of ground zero at the expense of finding remains, put an emergency center in a building that collapsed on Sept. 11 and failed to provide working radios for firefighters, making it impossible for them to learn the towers were on the verge of collapse.

"Virtually the whole thing goes back to him with the radios," Jim Riches, a deputy fire chief whose son was killed on Sept. 11, says in the video. "He's the guy on the top, and he's the guy you yell at.
"He takes the hit. And my son is dead because of it." Giuliani's camp called the video a "mockumentary." Giuliani campaign spokesman Michael McKeon said the union leadership "makes Michael Moore look like Edward R. Murrow."

People worship this guy for no logical reason

Because we have had to endure the crap spouted from republicon propagandists for so many years, we have come to recognize bullshit and propaganda immediately, and to welcome the truth when we get it. Thank you Michael Moore. Screw you Guliani and your horde of republicon propaganda catapulters, and your diaper-wearing, sex-deviant supporters.

You are all perverted toast.
