go to youtube.com and watch – 2nd hit – 'Ghost Plane' and you will see a milttary plane with no windows crashing into the south tower, and the plane has a mysterious tube underneath, along with an explosion just before the plane hits the tower. Then with further searches about 911 and lists of related videos you will find other videos/audios of actual firemen reporting explosions long after both planes hit, leading to the collapse of the towers. C'mon, does anyone actually see that the collapse of the towers was nothing but a professional construction job? And then you can find other reports, about the misterious shut down of security and electricity the weekend before the plane attacks….What did Giuliani do to investigate all of this and find the real truth?

Quick question: Did any of you who posted here earlier actually WATCH this ad? I thought not. Had you, you might have liked it seeing as how it had nothing to do with Giuliani and what he did on 9/11 but had everything to do with the resolve of Americans and first responders in the wake of the attacks. Everything that he said in the ad is true, Americans have come together in history and will continue to come together when attacked and in times of crisis. This is not using the tragedy for political gain; it is a vision of hope and optimism for America's future that we will be able to come together once again. Shame on all of you for not watching the ad first before bashing it.

As for Mindy from CA. Before you start lecturing everyone on history and invoking the names of the founding fathers and FDR at least get your history straight. FDR told Americans, “the only thing we have to fear is fear itself” during his Inaugural Address on March 4, 1933. Not 1932. Furthermore, 80 years later would be 2013, which last I checked we weren't quite at yet. As for the specifics you want on Giuliani's platform concerning what he would do if elected, if you simply paid attention you would have them. Shame on Giuliani? Shame on you for being uninformed.

Living outside of the US for 7 years, I witnessed and followed the events of 911, and the first wuestions I had in mind was how could the twin towers collapse in such a manner as a professional demolition job. Can we really believe the plane crash on the 90th floor caused this? What does he have to say about the surviving firemen reporting an upward explosion from the ground and landing on top of the rubble? As mayor of the city did he investigate this? Good thing he is still talking about this because it still needs to be investigated. Check out the following link: http://www.greaterthings.com/News/daily/2006/03/30/6600920_WTC_survivor_wind/

This guy is disgusting! Is he aware that 911 happened 6 years ago? He is not the only one who lived through it…we ALL did.

Why should he get more credit for 911? He was mayor and what he did he should have done..he did not do anything more or more inspiring than I'm sure any other mayor would have done. He acts like he was God that day. Hey Rudy, remember your oath as mayor…to protect…so you did not do anything more than you swore to do.

How sad that he's using the dead to get votes. What a punk!

wow, Thomas from St. pete! you are hooked like a fish to what the media and the government wants you to believe. you go ahead and run with that. people need to get their self straight with these things and soon. the WTC episode is suspect and building 7 was a demolition. and get clued in that our own CIA created al-Queda.

As a life long New Yorker I would only urge America to take a look at where Rudy Giuliani was (politically) on September 10. He was a lying politician using public funds to cover up his affair with his latest girlfriend, too cowardly to face Hillary Clinton in a Senate election, and ready to ride off into well deserved oblivion. Then he happened to be in the right place at the right time…. despite his decision to put the City's Emergency Response headquarters right in the middle of Ground Zero! Rudy – go put on a dress and get off the stage already!

So…

Rudy Giuliani's new TV ad focuses on his miniscule bit-player role in the 9/11 tragedy?

In the words of Gomer Pyle: "Surprise, surprise, surprise"!

I sure would like to see a story on the connection with Guiliani and Cintra. Guiliani
stands to make milllions on the SUPER NAFTA HIGHWAY. YESSIIRRREE……Rudy
is ripping off the american people and is the biggest crook, besides Bush and
Cheney.

Oh,, wait a minute,, 9/11 marks the loss of thousands of lives and the death of freedom in America,,

Cool, Rudy,,wave that banner why don't you?

Dope!

I guess there's no need to say anything crappy about Rudy,, you guys have it covered.

No American, that uses the deaths of other Americans for personal political gain is worthy of our Nations highest office in my book. NO ONE. We need a business savvy, Reagan type President to get this country back on track. MITT ROMNEY 08′

Why did you put that there? Very funny!

ghouliana, needs to stay with ripping off the American people on the civilian side, the Presidency belongs to Clinton.

I don't need Rudy Giuliani or anyone else to tell me about 9/11. My family lived through the nightmare of it all. The hardest thing for me, living out in L.A., was not being able to get to my family to help them through this terrible ordeal.

I think it's high time that Giuliani stop using the tragedy of 9/11 to further his presidential aspirations. Instead of these pathetic and insulting appeals to our emotions and fears, why doesn't he try and come up with some specifics for the problems that face us as a country? Or could it be that he just doesn't have any? Like the Republicans are wont to do these days, he offers nothing but the fear card. Yes, by all means, let's lie awake at night in our beds and think of the terrorists plotting in far off lands to take away our freedom. It's a nice distraction from the very real threat to our freedom right here, from our current administration. Republicans have blatantly used 9/11 to scare us into thinking that we have to surrender our civil liberties and basic freedoms to keep us safe from another terrorist attack. The Patriot Act and warrantless surveillance and countless other assaults on the Constitution have seriously compromised our freedom right here at home.

FDR was right to tell my parents generation that they have nothing to fear but fear itself. That was in 1932, at the height of the Great Depression. But it's just as true over 80 years later. The biggest fear we should all have is of Rudy Giuliani and those of his ilk to seek to rob us of the freedoms that the founding fathers gave us, in the name of saving us from the nameless, faceless terrorists who are lurking, waiting to pounce on us. The terrorists won't have to attack us if we continue to elect Republican presidents who think nothing of trashing the Constitution.

Rudy Giuliani has nothing to offer this country, so he hides behind 9/11. For someone like him, it's not too low to use this nation's greatest tragedy to try to get elected president. This man has no shame.

ASK THE FIREFIGHTERS HOW THEY FEEL ABOUT HIM.
AND DON'T LOOK FOR FISCAL RESPONSIBILITY.

GIULIANI IS NO AMERICAN HERO

A noun, a verb and 9/11-The Rudy Giuliani Campaign Slogan

STOP USING 9/11 AS A POLITICAL TOOL!

Rudy is scum.

Where's Waldo now? I'm surprised there's not a photo of the 9-11 rubble with his beany little head somewhere among the ruins…he's certainly used this disaster for everything else under the sun. Hey Rudy, quit exploiting America's sorrow will ya?

Despicable, as per Giuliani's modus operandi. This guy has been angling for the White House since he was a prosecutor in New York. Glad the country is getting a taste of just how arrogant and self aggrandizing this jerk is.

As a former NYer I'm embarrassed by his tactics, his record, and his lack of judgement. Enough said.

I wonder if the families of the 343 firefighters that were killed because they had faulty radios would like Giuliani to use their deaths for his political gain. Those radios were proven not to work in the first WTC bombing in 93.

Not to mention that Rudy decided to spend most of his time during the clean-up of 9/11 watching the Yankees.

Shallow. A page from the George W(ar) Bush playbook. He has a one track mind and lacks the ability tdeal with a host of issues. We already have a president like that.

Besides, as Mayor of New York he was a philanderer at the taxpayers expense. What he wants to do on his own time is one thing, but we don't need his fuzzy accounting in the White House.

Wait a minute…..stop the presses…..

Do you mean to tell me that Rudy is somehow connected to 9/11?

Sheesh, how did I ever miss that?

—————————————————————————-

Dear Rudy,

Remember the movie, "Rudy". I'm afraid you are going to find that the only time you are going to get to play is when it doesn't really matter. Sorry to disappoint you but just reliving the moment over and over does not really extend your 15 minutes.

When I read this it reminds me of Joe Biden Comment on Giuliani " A noun, a verb, and 9/11″

Exploiting 9/11 again? Standard tactic for the Republicans. Karl Rove must be advising the Rudy '08 campaign now.

Rudy is such a sleezy guy…. tomorrow he will be doctoring a photo of him standing with Bhutto under the banner "Standing Up for Democracy!"

The ruthless murder of former Pakistan Prime Minister Bhutto is a vivid reminder that terrorism is indeed real, and not just a "bumper sticker" as John Edwards has claimed.

The majority of the comments on this blog reflect the complete LACK OF UNDERSTANDING most people have of the danger the terrorists present to America and all democracies in the world.

Mayor Guiliani's leadership skills reduced crime in New York and comforted a heartbroken nation in the dark days that followed 09/11/2001.

Why shouldn't Rudy promote his successful track record in presidential bid?

Is a Rudy supporter going to stand up and defend Rudy on this one…it looks like no one wants to go there.

Nice to see balance in the postings.

Way to go CNN (Clinton News Network).

Apparently not all the Ostrichs live in Africa. At least with your heads buried in the sand, the Islamofacists will be less likely to cut off your head.

What Rudy did after 9/11 inspired America. He was made Times man of the year an why not bring that up in his campaign? It's like you people don't understand how a political campaign
works. You have to talk about the past so people can understand how you will lead in the future.

Back off the 9/11 comments and look at what Rudy did for the city of New York before that. He drastically reduced crime, taxes, and unemployment while shrinking the size of the government and cleaning up the cities corrupt system.

Everyone focuses on 9/11 for Rudy whether or not he even brings it up so why not put an ad out there that appeals to people who think the war on terror is the #1 issue in this election. Bush did it in 2004 to get re-elected. Look past that day and into the real issues and you will see that Rudy is the best fit for the presidency. Or you can just support the Christian funada "MENTAL" ist Mike Huckabee. I'm surprised Democrats aren't in full support of Giuliani since he seems to embody almost all of their social concerns while maintaining a fiscally conservative stance. RUDY 2008!

-Paul simply won't win (but he'd make a GREAT vice)
-Huckabee is a quack
-Romney is pretty cleary a lying maniac
-McCain is alright, but if he doesn't have the legs for a full campaign as we've seen time and time again

Who does that leave to scoop an easy election?

Hilary *shudder*

please spare us, Rudy. the 9/11 ads and fear mongering over a suspect event won't get it done.

Give it a rest Rudy, nobodys buying your crap anymore.

What a surprise. Guiliani knows no other platform than that of using 911. His numbers used to be high since people tend to be for names they recognize, but now that others have become known as well, Guiliani is a laughing stock. He is corrupt, uses tax payer money for his illigitimate affairs. We don't need another war monger for president, no thank you Rudi.

Yeah, he should have brought his mother out to say how nice he is.

Now that is the way to convice voters of one's capacity to lead this fine country!

So Giuliani is trying to get more miles out of 9/11. That ought to put the final nail in his campaign coffin.

I believe that Giuliani is very justified in using his experiences with 9/11 as one of his foundations in the election.

If the house that you lived in and governed was bombed and you had to pick up the pieces and be a leader and a support to the people who lived there, tell me you wouldn't cite that as an experience in your life that has made you part of who you are today?

Giuliani continues to abuse 911 victims and their families for his personal gains. Many heros came to help those 911 victims but none of them have come forward to use 911 to run for president. Further, our democracy will never be threatened thanks to our Gen. Petreaus and our brave military.

Rudy is definitely living a Groundhog Day life – he just keeps reliving the same day (9/11) over and over and over again and knows nothing else.

Rydy – 911 is over, it's in the past and it's now a part of our history. Every American knows this and the American people PAID the families of the victims based on a lame ass formula that determined the life of a stockbroker to be more valuable than the life of a maintenance man. A life is worth the same regardless of what the person does for a living or what lifestyle the income has provided for his or her family. Get over 911 Rudy, retire, move to Florida.

What a surprise. Rudy talking about 9/11. Is there anything else we get to hear from the now-floundering ex-mayor?

Since he spent as much time on the pile as the others, he should include himself in the comparison.

I can't wait to hear one of the people in this exploitation ad say he didn't get their permission and have him pull it

"When you try and take something away from us like freedom, my goodness, Americans are going to be one in resisting you,” he says.

This is the same guy who said true freedom is submission to authority. Giuliani is an authoritarian and I plan to resist his infringement of my freedoms by voting Ron Paul.

Generic Giuliani sentence, per Joe Biden: noun, verb, 9/11.

Thats pretty ironic considering the Fire Fighters in NYC don't like or support Guliani…..but he already knows that….Just another politician using 911 for his own benefit

Gee..Guliani trying to use 9/11 for personal gain…no he'd neeeeeever do that…

Disgusting.

A noun, a verb, and 9/11…

Biden/Obama 08!

Of course we knew this was coming. Exploit the happenings of 9/11. He was a Mayor, who did his job… managed through tough times. He still needs to explain why he placed the Port Auth, and other emergency organizations in a building that was hit by terrorists years before and against the recommendations of experts on the issue. He has absolutely zero Int'l relations/diplomacy experience. He has no plan to protect the country, its people, or the constitution in which governs this great country, other than to spew out Bush sayings. He is good at prosecuting the mob, then promoting members/associates of the mob to high office posistions. NYC may be one of the greatest cities in the world, but that does not qualify a man who ran the city , to also run a country. We need a person with conviction, integrity,and a sense of logic who can reach out and begin to make popular again the US as a world leader.

Nice attempt by the MSM to spin this into the same old tired and untrue story line that Rudy is constantly touting his actions on 9-11. Clearly here he is focused on the first-responders and their heroism. This is a very dignified and honorable ad. Good for you, Rudy! I'm looking forward to your inauguration when we'll get this country's government on the right track.

Of course he is playing the 9/11 card. What else does he have?

Judy thanks his lucky stars every night for the disaster that was 911 – otherwise, we wouldn't know his name and he wouldn't have a platform to stand on. Republicants are empowered by terrorist attacks and a bad economy. Fascism thrives on those disgruntled by a bad economy and scared out of their mind by all these phantom menaces.

This man did NOTHING on 9-11 that is worthy of him becoming president. He walked to the WTC, made pretty speeches, and then left to spend more time at Yankee games than he did at ground zero. The FDNY hates him, why Americans are so stupid to be dooped by this phony is a testament to what's wrong in this country.

Then maybe we should nominate a 9/11 hero for the Presidency… and by that I mean a real hero, Rudy.

For a man who said that he is running on more than the fact that he was in the right place at a bad time, he does seem to revisit what brung him to the dance.

GIULIANI

This is disgusting. Does this guy have anything else he can put out there? Is exploiting the selfless acts of all those who gave their lives that day the only political tool he have? Well, I'm tired of hearing about it. If that's all Rudy's got to offer then I'm not interested. He didn't really do anything that day anyway. He just walked around looking like he was in charge. Like he cared. The only reason he was walking around on the streets was because his HQ had been blown up. It wouldn't have been if he had listened to those who advised him to move it to a safer location after the FIRST Trade Center attack! This is really horrible: A guy who has no credibility in national security making it his main case for presidential electability on the backs of those who sacrificed their lives and health.

Does this man have a conscience? How despicable to run your campaign on the backs and souls of the true heros of 911. Was it not enough to go on a speaking tour around the country banking millions of dollars? I hope the fire fighters put out an ad of their own explaining why they do not support this "man" for the presidency. Americans already fell for the fear tactics and look at the current state of our country. I hope and pray Americans don't fall for it again.

But what has Giuliani done for anyone lately? 9/11 was six years ago–if that's the best he can come up with, it seems a bit weak.

BTW, this article was written by Rebecca Sinderbrand, the same woman who either couldn't get her facts straight in the article about Ron Paul on Meet the Press, or was deliberately trying to smear him. I don't suppose there's any reason to trust her reporting in this article is any better.

What a cartoon this wannabe has turned into. I do not each night or each morning say a prayer thanking the Lord that Ruby was able to save the United States for us.

If Giuliafia has such a high regard for 9/11 firefighters, why did he halt recovery efforts for their remains as soon as all the gold was out of the vault, and punish those who opposed his directive?

If elected, this jerk would make Bush look good by comparison. I wouldn't trust him to take out the garbage.

Lets see…no…I still think he sucks.

Can you say: womanizer, weazel, sneaky, deviant?

Come on baby boomers–there has got to be a better choice out there~!!!

Anyone called Colin Powell?

Giuliani was mayor during 9/11? Why didn't he say so before?

(Aren't those same firefighters endorsing someone else?)

It does sound nice. My question is how much did he really do to prevent the casulties from the destruction of the two towers (and other buildings)? It has been relayed that there was a massive 911 center in the World Trade Center; it was put in AFTER the 1993 bombing. How is that good planning? Why were the radios not what was promised years before? I think that tax money can be well spent if there is the understanding where it should go. I don't care that he lowered taxes; I want some real return for the money I put in; more bang for the buck! I don't know what this guy did to make there more bang for the buck that could work on the federal level with his mouth.

He makes me sick… he's milking this cow for all is worth…

SHAME MR. GIULIANI, you stepping over the bodies of those who lost their lives that day to get you to the Whitehouse is discussing. Stop it already. I know you have nothing else to run on but is a huge turn-off.

Hasn't this clown milked the 9/11 cow dry yet?

And yet he'll never understand why his campaign fell apart.

Just go away, Rudy. Please.

Ron Paul is the only candidate that can return America to prosperity. Anyone who think Rudy Giuliani is a viable presidential candidate needs to watch these videos, which detail the rampant ineffectiveness, botched management, corruption, and flip flopping that has characterized Giuliani's political career.

Giuliani is nobody without 9/11, although he had done nothing to prevent it, and has done anything significant for new york or america since 9/11.

9/11 has made him a multi-millionaire.
