I have personal beef against Rudy Giuliani. From my years working with families who have lost their children to police brutality, the Giuliani years aka Giuliani time in NYC was the worse. Young men of color were killed with impunity and Giuliani made it a point to smear these victims, even to their grieving mothers. For example:

In 1995, two young Puerto Rican men Anthony Rosario and Hilton Vega were shot in the back and killed by two New York City detectives in the Bronx. Evidence showed that when they were killed, they were laying face down on the floor and an independent autopsy revealed that Rosario was shot fourteen times in the back and Vega was shot eight times in the back.

“One of the detectives, was Rudy Giuliani’s former bodyguard Patrick Brosnan. So what did Giuliani do? First, he had the audacity to call the police officers to commend them on their actions and then when Anthony Rosario’s mother Margarita called in to his radio show, Rudy talked over her, insisting that gunfire was exchanged and that her son had a criminal record. Both of these statements were lies. Giuliani also told the dead man’s mother that perhaps she should look at her parenting skills to help explain why her son died. Is this the kind of person we want as president?”

Well thankfully we don’t have to worry about him as president, but if John McCain were to choose Rudy as his running mate and if anything happened to McCain, well then we would have to deal with King Rudy. And yet, Giuliani’s name is being thrown around alot, perhaps more times than he can say 9-11 in a single breath.
