Noticeably Not Invited To The Fire Fighters Union Today Is Rudy.
Edited on Wed Mar-14-07 09:18 AM by OmmmSweetOmmm
That's because the man who is running as a hero on 9/11 is despised by the NYC Firefighters.

As I have heard it on a recent radio show with a IAFF spokesman, he had them stop looking for their fallen brothers once the gold was recovered from under the WTC. If anyone recalls, there was literally a fight going on at Ground Zero between these firefighters and the police.

Here is a slightly different account but none the less, having the same results.

BTW...on MSNBC this morning, it was brought up about Rudy not being invited, but Tucker Carlson skirted around the reason why.

Firefighters Claim Giuliani Ignored Needs After 9/11

Kim Chipman Fri Mar 9, 6:10 PM ET

March 9 (Bloomberg) -- Rudy Giuliani, who has parlayed his identity as the hero of Sept. 11 into a front-running presidential candidacy, was attacked by the nation's firefighters union for rushing to remove debris at New York's World Trade Center site before many remains had been recovered.


The International Association of Fire Fighters union said it wants its 260,000 U.S. members to know the ``real story'' of the former New York mayor, contending that Giuliani sought to curtail search-and-recovery efforts at the World Trade Center site after the attacks on Sept. 11, 2001, that claimed the lives of 2,752 people, including 343 union fire fighters.

``Mayor Giuliani's actions meant that fire fighters and citizens who perished would either remain buried at Ground Zero forever, with no closure for families, or be removed like garbage and deposited at the Fresh Kills Landfill,'' said union President Harold Schaitberger in a draft letter to affiliates.

1. Good for them!
Rudy has been sort of untouchable these past few years, and the media has been reluctant to say anything bad about him--but there's a ton of bad about this schmuck, and hopefully if these firefighters keep on about this, it will get traction.

2. Especially since his image as a Nationl hero on 9/11 is what he's running on.
If anyone is going to do it, it will be the NYC firefighters, who can show how this supposed hero has very clay feet.
