Giuliani Documentary Being Released
By SARA KUGLER, Associated Press Writer

Thu Sep 6, 6:29 PM

Republican presidential hopeful former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani ...

NEW YORK - A filmmaker who was behind documentaries that bashed Rupert Murdoch and Wal-Mart is now focusing on Rudy Giuliani, creating an "online viral video campaign" about the presidential candidate timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attack.

Robert Greenwald on Thursday launched the first of four short videos about Sept. 11 and the Republican former mayor. The others are planned to launch throughout the month.

The videos attack Giuliani by saying he failed to prepare New York City for a major disaster, he ignored sick ground zero workers after the terrorist attack and he profited financially from his association with the tragedy after leaving office in 2001.

"We want to use this forum to reach people and show and tell and say, 'Look here are some truths that we want you to know,'" Greenwald told The Associated Press. The video blitz has an accompanying web site, therealrudy.org.

The Giuliani campaign questioned Greenwald's motivation and timing.

The spots feature interviews with many of those known critics, including relatives of those who died in the World Trade Center attack, fire safety experts and Jerome Hauer, Giuliani's emergency management commissioner from 1996 to 2000, who had a falling out with his boss in 2001.<snip>

6. Thank you! That should be devastating to his campaign. The Firefighters video
should end his campaign COMPLETELY. I hope people are seeing these videos!

who could want this man to be president after seeing those facts?! To support Giuliani is to look those heroes in the eyes and say 'rudy should be promoted for treating your friends and colleagues quite literally like garbage.' Outrageous.

3. This is Great!
The rest of the country really needs to know what Giuliani is all about.

I remember walking into work the day after Rudy was elected Mayor of NYC saying it is a dark day for the city.

4. First! Best News I've Heard All Week!!! Second... Jerome Hauer was the person who
Edited on Fri Sep-07-07 09:33 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
recommended that pesky Al Qaeda expert John O'Neill as head of security for the WTC. O'Neill was killed on his first day on his job, 9/11/01.

I have also read that on 9/11, Hauer recommended that the WH staff take CIPRO to protect themselves against Anthrax. Pretty interesting.

5. This needs to circulate! As a NY-er I am particularly outraged that this idiot
is claiming 9.11 as some personal achievement. All he did was preen for the cameras, and when he took 5, he closed Union Square - which had became the neighborhood mourning/rallying place. he f*ing cordoned it off!

9. I wouldn't butter him just yet....
the average citizen, who does not read the internet, will probably not hear about this. The mainstream media has already been covering all of the republican asses in this campaign.
