On the sixth anniversary of the September 11 tragedy, single issue presidential candidate Rudy Giuliani shuts down his campaign website for the entire day. (Screen capture above fully expands.) The denial-of-service attempts to brand two concepts to voters: First, it reminds everyone that Giuliani's legacy is intrinsically connected to terror attacks. Second, it implies that the date is too important for politics ...
Which doesn't explain why the former New York City mayor attended this morning's memorial service near Ground Zero and insisted upon reading the names of victims. "His decision to speak at all on the stage where first responders read the 2,750 names of the dead infuriated critics. Some turned their backs on him as he spoke. Others left the park to visit Ground Zero. 'I walked away,' said Deputy Fire Chief Jim Riches, who lost a son and heads a firefighter union drive against Giuliani.' Riches adds, 'He's running for president of the United States on the back of my dead son.' "
Giulaini later attended a "Freedom Concert" with right-wing harpy Ann Coulter, who "has repeatedly bashed the 9/11 widows, calling them 'self-obsessed' and accusing them of 'enjoying their husband's deaths.' " From memorializing to victims to insulting their loved ones ...

His true colors are coming out, and the mere fact that he would show up, and I bet take pictures with that hate monger Coulter shows he has no morals and is milking 9/11 for a voting bloc duped into thinking he actually ran into the towers to save people.
He has no shame.

Too true, Luther.
But then the MSM will keep on promoting Giuliani as the "moderate Republican" alternative.
I guess "moderate" means pumping Amadou Diallo with only forty-one rounds, instead of eight-two.
