White House Photo: Giuliani gives the Cheneys a tour of Ground Zero.
Families of September 11 victims and emergency responders raised alarms on Wednesday that former New York mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani might politicize the sixth anniversary memorial of the attacks....
"Families and first responders are outraged and call for this speaking invitation to be rescinded and insist that politics be kept out of the 9/11 anniversary ceremony," said a statement by four September 11 groups.
...Giuliani senior adviser Tony Carbonetti said the candidate would attend out of respect for the victims, not politics.
"If you know Rudy Giuliani, he'd be down there paying his respects whether he was invited or not," Carbonetti said in a statement. "To say he's politicizing it -- he never would do anything like that."

“To say he’s politicizing it — he never would do anything like that.”
Of course not, only Democrats politicize things.....
NO!NO!NO! Rudy would never politicize a memorial for those who died, in part because of his poor leadership. If you really believe that, then you will likely vote for him. That would truly be a disaster.
He must mean in future tense, because historically he has never missed an opportunity.
Yeah, like a Rudy speaking engagement doesn't sound like:
"On 9/11 . . . blah blah blah . . . the lesson of 9/11 . . . blah blah blah . . . I was there . . . blah blah blah . . . I was one of them . . . blah blah blah . . . I was there just as often if not more . . . blah blah blah . . . I was there . . . blah blah blah . . . what we learned on 911 . . . blah blah blah . . . 'thank God George Bush is our President, Bernie' . . . blah blah blah . . . 9/11, 9/11, 9/11. oh yeah, and . . . 9/11.
Thank you (mumbled) 9/11..."
Well no shit, the guy is a monster on his BEST days. Hey Guiliani! What about that question that victim's family member Sabrina Rivera asked you: http://blip.tv/file/248591 got an answer yet, you lying murderer?
Tell him he can speak. but the families of the deceased would like him to open with a statement of review recalling all of his fine input in the work of the 911 commission....trust me...he'll back out on his own.
Rudy, like most political minded POS's just can't stand to pass up a photo op. What he has to say would be taken like Barbara Bush's famous comment about Katrina. "They're used to living in conditions like this, so it's ok."
Dear Rudy:
Romeo and Juliet is a tragedy. Four undercover cops killing an unarmed man with 41 shots is an atrocity. And there's a plunger out that with your name on it...
Guiliani ain't goin' nowhere. It doesn't matter what he does. He's finished.
it's exactly that.
For somebody who mentions 9/11 more than Bush does, it would actually be a bigger surprise if he didn't show up...however, if he gets even five minutes of time to talk anywhere....TV, on the podium, to a drunken bum, somebody should drag him home and tell him what a bad dog he's been...Quit Pissing on NY, 9/11 didn't change a Bob-damned thing...
Billo's heads gonna explode............................hehehehehe................good.
The only positive thing that can come of this is if the rest of the country realizes that the people who were directly affected by 9/11 are resisting/rejecting Rudy. Maybe then they will see that he was not a "hero" on 9/11. I can't believe how long he has been able to skate by claiming he is a hero when he didn't do anything to positively aid in the recovery. Rudy and George Bush have used a galvanizing event to claim that they are great leaders. Americans would have rallied behind any leader after our country was attacked. Just because the rest of the country did their jobs doesn't mean those two did theirs.
Tour of the crime scene is more like it.
Liberal AND Proud @ 14:
One of the two terrorist masterminds is hiding in the mountains of Afghanistan or Pakistan. The other is hiding the White House bunker in an undisclosed location. If Cheney makes another appearance at ground zero arrest him. Then it will be one down and one to go.
Man, 'they' were not kidding when this nutjob was given the nickname....
'Ghouliani.'
Not one little bit.
BlueKnuckle @ 4:
Yup, Rudy’s entire campaign is a one-trick-pony. His platform is 9-11, his message is fear of 9-11, his base are those who are angry because of 9-11, and his political future is dependent upon another 9-11 (so he can tell everyone he told us so).
The only problem is, nothing he ever did, does, or will do, will ever truly protect anyone from another 9-11. Vote for Rudy because 9-11 happened 7 years ago? I think not.
I wouldn't mind if he'd just shaddap ALL the time.
Of course he's going to whore himself out on this and use the chance to score points and attack all his opponents. It's really up to the people of the country to be smart enough to see through him, and if they're not, then maybe the country deserves him.
The families of the victims of 9-11 would like to heal now, ASSHOLE.
The rest of the city of new york, the entire country is filled with boredom with the constant repetition of this politicized stale stale stale stale stale topic.
To say he’s politicizing it — he never would do anything like that.”
sure he won't. why rudy would never use the horro of 9/11 to advance his political ambitions. next thing this dude will try to tell us is that a chimp like white male would never become president...oh damn wait a minute.
the only thing rudy has used in his campaign to date has been 9/11. thanks to the vicitms and their families as well as the first responders for calling rudy out on this. i could not agree more with them.
“If you know Rudy Giuliani, he’d be down there paying his respects whether he was invited or not,”
so there should be no real issue if he is un-invited now is there. considering he whould be there to pay his respects only and all.
how much you
want to bet it doesn't
show up in a campaign ad
heh...
I think he should speak.
I also think that every family and just about anyone else who feels like it should attend the ceremony and boo him like nothing else on national TV. That would send one hell of a message about him. Not everyone will see the press release about them wanting to silence him, but him getting booed will resonate like a shot heard around the world.
The families are way off base.
To suggest that 911 isnt political is patently inane. Of course it is political. Have they been paying attention? It wasnt an earthquake. It was an event that many question that resulted in a war of opportunity predicated on the 'event' - politics.
My advice to the 911 families is to become clear in their positions regarding the politics of the last six years whether they want to or not and get involved. It IS political and their not wanting it to be wont change a thing.
MIGHT politicize the sixth anniversary observance?
The man has done nothing but politicize the attacks since the day they happened.
That's about as charming as listening to Bill-O accuse people of name calling. Do republicans stand against anything they don't do themselves, or comply with anything they stand for? Did these people misinterpret Orwell's 1984 as a book with a happy ending? Or is the world really a John Carpenter movie and someone is going ot hand me a pair sun glasses so I can see that we've been invaded by rich socialite aliens?
A preview of Rudy's speech:
Six years ago...9/11...America attacked...al Qaeda...Islamic terrorists...I was there...I walked around looking important...Bush and I...Churchillian...hero...true leader...gotta get bin Laden...can't leave Iraq...surrendering...more attacks at home...worse then 9/11...al Qaeda...Iran has to be stopped...Democrats have no plan...won't keep you safe...in bed with the terrorists...will get us attacked again...al Qaeda...did I mention worse then 9/11...I have a true plan...I will stop the Muslims...I mean the Islamic terrorists...worse then 9/11...I have a plan...Iraq and Iran...al Qaeda...I have a plan...worse then 9/11...Tens of thousands dead...al Qaeda...Bin Laden...War on Terror...Terror...Terror...Terror..Terror...I have a plan...Terror..Terror...Terror...What? Building 7? What explosives in the buildings? I gotta go. See you next year when I'm the nominee...Never forget 9/11...I won't let you forget...Terror..Terror...Terror...
What a joke. I'm glad people are finally waking up and realizing what a sleazy waste of skin this lying, cheating fearmonger is.
Giuliani is one of the people who is culpable for 911. He said on video he had prior knowledge the towers would come down. He vetoed legislation to give first responders medical help. He doesn't want the eyewitnesses to live.
He is a villain. A cross-dressing, fascist villain.

Giuliani is going to ground zero to reminisce about all the hoes he screwed behind his second wife's back up in his billion dollar bachelor pad, just like his Mafia buddy Bernie Kerik.
he should just drop out of the race, what a joke rudy running is anyway.
If they can manage to take 9/11 away from Rude Boy....he has nothing...nothing at all...What's his level of experience...A MAYOR?.....but the brain dead sheeple will want him anyway.....because he walked around the site....Me....I need more.
what the sheeple fail to acknowledge is that if this admin did their job correctly 9/11 would of never happened..............inexcusable
9/11 has been politicized right from day 1. Moments after the planes hit the buildings the ruling elite found their hook. Pound it into the head of every American that the terrorists are out to kill you all. Keep on pounding it in again and again and again. That way every single decision they make is tied into the lie. Invade a country for no reason? The terrorists. Hurricane devastates a city? The terrorists. Civil rights down the drain? The terrorists. The terrorists are responsible for EVERYTHING. No matter what crap the Bush gang get up to, it's all the fault of those darn pesky terrorists. The only problem is that auto accidents kill more Americans than terrorist. Swimming pool accidents kill more Americans than terrorists. Peanuts kill more Americans than terrorists. Heck, terrorism is way, way down the line on the death count. Pretty well insignificant in fact. When does the war on peanuts start, or the war on swimming pools. How about that sound bite about how if we don't fight the peanuts there, they'll follow you home. And, be truly afraid of those deadly pretzel attacks. It's all a sham, keep the people afraid and they'll overlook just about anything. Wake up!!!
Watch that the event will become political and religious. Count the number of time God is invoked and Christian values put forth.
And it won't be just Giuliani doing it.
Isn't America great when a guy with close ties to organized crime can run for president?
"...raised alarms on Wednesday that former New York mayor and presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani might politicize the sixth anniversary memorial of the attacks..."
Might. Might??? I repeat, might?????
A.Citizen @ 16:
I like the moniker Gooliani
quick, someone make "STFU RUDY" signs
I think he should be there, but only is Mrs Rudy shows up wearing her tiara.
“If you know Rudy Giuliani, he’d be down there paying his respects whether he was invited or not,” Carbonetti said in a statement. “To say he’s politicizing it — he never would do anything like that.”
So if he hadn't been invited, he'd have crashed--that's what Carbonetti said, right? Paying respect, right. That jumped up lying opportunist wouldn't know respect if it walked up to him and slapped him in the face.
David E Toronto @ 35:
Yup and there'll be free hot dogs and apple pie, given out by people in baseball caps, with American flags and yellow ribbons. The gays and liberals will be fire-hosed away from the evnt. Bible thumpers will descend en masse. It'll be nauseating. Blackwater will be on hand, three blocks away, with armed goons if anyone tries to interrupt the God-fest. Sound about right?
“If you know Rudy Giuliani, he’d be down there paying his respects whether he was invited or not,” Carbonetti said in a statement. “To say he’s politicizing it — he never would do anything like that.”
So did this POS say that with a straight face?

Giuliani out. David Ray Griffin in.
...
Heavens NO, Guilliani politicize September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th, September 11th. I just can't imagine he would EVER do something so callous as that.
If Rudy shows up then everybody should turn their backs to him if he starts to say anything.
i say hire armed guards to keep him away,,get a court order and arrest him and take him to rikers,,,but first sodomize him at the jail with an electric prod and night stick after they pepper spray and taser his sorry ass after beating and kicking him,,,ect.
I can just see Rude Boys face when they tell him he can't use 9/11 for any political gain...."BU BU BUT I'm running for President"
