    • tyywebb, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Awesome, I hope the mainstream news covers this......yeah right *sigh*
    • FutureGuy, on 10/11/2007, -0/+8He is 100% just that. He exploited the hell out of 911 for political gains, he is a crook and a cunning one. If he becomes the next president God save America.
      • forgiste, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I think the past 2 presidential terms show conclusively that either God doesn't give 2 ***** about America, or he in fact is a Neo-Con himself. Or he doesn't exist... Or we are him...

        Either way, the only being that can save us is all of us, ourselves.
    • maz2331, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Please do not call him a prick, for that is a part of a MAN.
    • ClosedCaption, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1Thats pre-911 thinking
  • Xuvious, on 10/15/2007, -2/+51 Rudy "The Tyrant" Guiliani isn't even in office and already controversy is surrounding him. This is just a taste of things to come should this Authoritarian gain the White House.
  • cashman57, on 10/14/2007, -1/+21he had to fund his presidential run somehow.
  • DiggerRich, on 10/19/2007, -1/+76He actually stole around $9,110,000.00.
  • desistere, on 10/14/2007, -2/+4ribbit
  • RandoTheKing, on 10/14/2007, -1/+25The $9.11 donations just weren't cutting it
  • ettin, on 10/19/2007, -1/+21You steal a measly 10mil and cant cover your ass? No, you wouldnt make a good president at all...
  • truegodofwar, on 10/14/2007, -1/+28Maybe I will donate $911 to Ron Paul just to spite Gulliani.
  • zulfy26, on 10/19/2007, -0/+269/11 made him steal it.
  • ZenFountain, on 10/19/2007, -0/+24For 9/11's sake!
  • SOULEVENT, on 10/14/2007, -3/+27wait wait now...Rudy was THERE on 9/11, you guys just dont understand how terrorism works like Rudy, because you werent there...we need to ask the tens or thousands of other people who were THERE on 9/11 to explain to you how being THERE makes you a ***** GENIUS. Then you would understand that this who THEFT thing is just a means to steal his thunder and completely rediculous. The only thing you people should be concentrating on is how AMAZING Rudy is because his PHYSICAL ***** BODY WAS SOMEWHERE, GEOGRAPHICALLY, ON THIS ***** PLANET, AND HOW AMAZING IT IS THAT IT HAPPENED TO BE THE CITY HE WOULD MOST LIKELY ***** BEING IN ON 9/11. INCREDIBLE. Your welcome Rudy!!!
    • xdream, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Absolutely! Those freakin nut case CONSPIRACY THEORISTS can't begin to know what it was like when Rudy... ran from the emergency bunker even after he was told it was being brought down! Rudy was down the street in London on 7/7 when those bombs went off during an exercise simulating the EXACT SAME TERROR INCiDENT! THAT'S how he knows about terror. He's simulated... the exact... same... hmm... what are the odds of that? Nah... couldn't be.
  • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -1/+7I'm surprised they're not accused of stealing 9.11 Million.
  • brianzero, on 10/14/2007, -1/+9TERROR, 9/11, JIHADISTS, OSAMA, 9/11, HIJACKERS, TERROR, JETLINER, 9/11.

    Exactly what is Guiliani's platform, anyway?
  • SOULEVENT, on 10/14/2007, -0/+13wait, hold on, I have to take this call..........it's my wife, she wanted to remind me that Rudy was THERE on 9/11, what a sweetheart, she knows I may have forgotten if I wasnt reminded every SECOND OF THE ***** DAY!!!
  • xdream, on 10/14/2007, -1/+24HAHAHA... Rudy the cross dressin, cousin marryin', lyin', lispin', firemen killin, NAFTA highway buildin' piece of *****.

    Did Rudy...
    Marry his Cousin?
    Marry three times?

    Why does he say he's the “hero” of 9/11 over and over again?

    Did Mayor Giuliani have 11 fire fighters including a captain and a fire marshal ARRESTED when they demonstrated against plans to cut the number of their colleagues from searching for fallen firefighters?

    Were 250 firefighters unaccounted for when Giuliani swept up the remains of our heroes and deposited them in the city dump?

    Did the change coincided with the recovery of some 200 million in gold bullion stored under the WTC towers?

    Did Peter Gorman, president of the Uniformed Fire Officers’ Association, say that the mayor’s decision had made the recovery work “a scoop and dump operation”? “He cared more about the gold than our fallen brothers. It’s despicable.”

    Did Rudy say that he worked as long or longer than our heroes on Ground Zero?

    Did he say, “I was there working with them. I was exposed to exactly the same things they were exposed to. So in that sense, I’m one of them,” he told reporters at a Los Angeles Dodgers-Cincinnati Reds baseball game? And of course, after the lie, did he say, “I misspoke"?

    Did Rudy say that New York was well prepared for terrorist attacks?
    Is the truth that Giuliani didn’t set up the OEM until 27 months after his election? Jerry Hauer, who was handpicked by Giuliani to head the OEM, testified before the 9/11 Commission that Giuliani was “unable to get the full story” at the firebombing and “heard about the huge street collapse” that followed the water-main break “on TV,” adding: “That’s what led the mayor to set up OEM.” Did Rudy really do anything before or after 9/11 to secure anyone?

    Did Rudy say he’s against NAFTA Superhighway?
    Freelance columnist Dianne M. Grassi broke the story of Giuliani’s law firm, Bracewell & Giuliani, acting as the exclusive legal counsel for Cintra, the Spanish firm that has been granted the right to operate a toll road in the Trans-Texas Corridor (TTC) project. Grassi comments, “Most interesting to the whole story is not only has Giuliani’s involvement in the NAFTA Superhighway not ever having been publicly addressed, but how a foreign company is awarded the building of a mass highway system, versus maintaining it, for the first time in U.S. history, and negotiated by the law firm of the top Republican candidate running for President of the United States.” Is Rudy for the North American Free Trade Agreement? And why is he helping out of Country companies, and not American companies do construction?

    Did Rudy say he’s an expert on terrorism?
    When confronted by a Congressman during the debates on what the CIA calls “blowback” for the reasons behind the 9/11 attacks, did Rudy say that he had “...never heard of such a ridiculous reason for 9/11 in his life!”? Did the 9/11 Commission Report, the CIA, and the FBI all site “blowback” for the cause of terrorism?

    Does Rudy Giuliani know what's going on in the world?

    Has he studied up on what terrorism is all about?

    Does he just repeat what think tanks tell him?

    And finally: Has Giuliani earned $9.2 million in speaking fees since 2006?


    It would be great if a legitimate news source could get some answers for these questions, then no one can make ad hominem attacks upon those of us who use our Constitution rights as citizens to question our elected officials.
  • pcpimpster, on 10/14/2007, -0/+10Guiliani is the Royal Douche of 9/11, Cheney is the Douchess and Bush is the ***** Jester.
  • xdream, on 10/11/2007, -8/+6It's all a ruse to get people to vote Democrat. I'm sure that lyin', lispin', firemen killin', NAFTA highway buildin', lip lickin', piece of ***** mobster actually did a LOT more than that... But let's ask some more questions.

    • AndrewDB, on 01/10/2008, -0/+1It doesn't matter what Guliani has or hasn't done, he's still a corrupt son of a bitch.
  • mopper, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6rudy is as bad if not worse than bush. i wouldnt be suprised if the next election be rigged, like past elections, in his favor.
  • java81, on 10/11/2007, -0/+10Good call-- I say all who despise Rudi send differnt amounts of 9.11- 91.10- 911.00, et cetera to our boy RP and send a message to all the Repubocrats.
  • XISUPERMANIX, on 10/14/2007, -0/+7If they make him pay it back he will just steal the money from somewhere else.
  • xbrown, on 10/14/2007, -7/+1Did any of you morons actually READ the article?
  • bowens44, on 10/19/2007, -0/+7rudy is a psychopath, how anyone could even consider voting for that madman to be president is beyond me.
  • heystoopid, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3They frog marched Spiro Agnew out office for less lying and cheating then what Rudy does daily my how the standards have fallen from those heady Nixon days of the seventies ?
  • chrisOrbit, on 10/14/2007, -0/+5Chicken Hawk!
  • minitrue1984, on 10/14/2007, -6/+0I know Rudy kicked Ron Paul's ass in the debates, but you must realize that everyome knows that Ron Paul is still a "Whack Job".

    Deal with it.
    • shutupanddie, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3Verily I say unto you, All sins shall be forgiven unto the sons of men, and blasphemies wherewith soever they shall blaspheme:
      But he that shall blaspheme against Ron Paul hath never forgiveness, but is in danger of eternal damnation.
  • Bigboomer223, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4HE seems to think 9/11 solely belongs to him.. Why not other peoples money???
  • webcite1, on 10/11/2007, -0/+3***** Rudy and all that support him!
  • adooga, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1What about 9/11?
  • DestroyFascism, on 10/11/2007, -0/+1That's the Bomb
  • NativeVeteran70, on 10/16/2007, -0/+0Rudy is running for president and taking center stage on T.V. to protect himself, by deception, from the people who haven't realized his involvement with the 9/11 tragedy. The NYC Fire department can't stand this crook.
  • CurtisLow101, on 11/03/2007, -0/+1Do not pass go and do not collect $200. Go to jail!
