Firefighters And 9/11 Victims Continue Truth Campaign Against Rudy

The International Association of Firefighters has come out with a new devastating attack of facts against the Republican Presidential hopeful. As Giuliani remains high in the polls along with Fred Thompson, the non-partisan organization (though it tends to lean towards Dems) wants everyone to know the myth of "America's Mayor." They know him more as an urban legend.

From WCBS-TV:

(CBS) NEW YORK The International Association of Firefighters has gone on the offensive against "America's Mayor" Rudy Giuliani, releasing a 13-minute video that viciously rips into the former New York mayor, who has been using his leadership demonstrated on September 11th to urge people around the country to support him in his quest to become President of the United States.

The video, released early Wednesday evening, is titled "Rudy Giuliani: Urban Legend," and offers testimonials from various members of the organization and family members of firefighters lost in the terror attacks.

“We have the remains of dead heroes at the garbage dump because of Giuliani and his administration and they’re still there today and they won’t remove them,” claims FDNY Deputy Chief Jim Riches on the DVD, which was released to CBS 2 HD before its public debut.

Putting partisanship aside, the IAF looks at what really happened on 9/11. Rudy used the event to look strong without actually making good decisions. He ran around the distraught city aimlessly when he should have been in a secure location making smart decisions. Instead, many firefighters lost their lives due to bad communication. Not only that, he seemed to be more interested in recovering foreign countries' gold bullion than helping rescuers with air safety and recovering the bodies of their comrades. He is a despicable man, and everyone should know it.
