The infamous Swift Boat Veterans for Truth who lied about John Kerry and were funded by rich Republican oil men and the like. Now there's a new group out to tell the truth about a certain Presidential candidate. The big difference between 04' and '08 is that you can trust these firefighters on what they are saying about Rudy Giuliani.
From ABC News:
A group of 9/11 firefighters and victims' family members with eyes on derailing Republican Rudy Giuliani's presidential campaign is close to a decision on forming an entity that would run issue ads in key early nominating states.
"TV made him a hero, and we'll use TV to take him down," New York Fire Chief Jim Riches told ABC News.
(snip)Riches, who lost his firefighter son Jimmy in the World Trade Center's north tower, said, "We don't want him running on 9/11 or the bodies of all these dead people or my dead son saying that he did a great job that day."
He and other members of the anti-Giuliani group claim 9/11 first responders were given bad radios and that that prevented them from hearing evacuation orders when the World Trade Center buildings were about to collapse. They also contend Giuliani rushed cleanup work and misled people about air quality at Ground Zero, where recovery workers, including Riches, say they contracted illnesses.
Giuliani never really cared about those that risked their lives to rescue survivors and work on the pile, he was just there for the photo-ops. If he cared, he would have acted more competently pre, during and post 9/11. Rudy might look like he's with it, but thats all an act, and these firefighters are ready to prove it to the nation still under the spell of the "America's Mayor" meme.
