The REAL Rudy goes viral

The title of the first part of the hard-hitting documentary series by Robert Greenwald and the Brave New Films team on Rudy Giuliani is called "The Real Rudy Command Center." It chronicles the myth of the hero of 9/11 -- with interviews about the failures of planning (placing the emergency command center in the WTC), and horrid lack of emergency preparedness.



"It's just not possible."

That was the sentence we heard over and over from families who had firefighter sons, brothers, husbands and fathers killed on 9/11, from experts on emergency response, and from investigative journalists. It was just not possible that Rudy could so distort what happened on 9/11 and his role on that terrible day.

These experts, these grieving and furious family members, were united only by the fact that this story had to be told. Republicans, Independents, and Democrats could agree on just one thing: the cold hard facts about Rudy's terrible handling of 9/11 and the aftermath.
Pass the word and stay tuned for the next installment of myth busting. It's already caught the attention of the MSM, and the Giuliani campaign is hot under the collar about this film.
The videos attack Giuliani by saying he failed to prepare New York City for a major disaster, he ignored sick ground zero workers after the terrorist attack and he profited financially from his association with the tragedy after leaving office in 2001.

...The Giuliani campaign questioned Greenwald's motivation and timing. "It's unfortunate that a conspiracy theorist so disconnected from reality would launch a politically motivated hit video to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks," said Mike McKeon, a Giuliani spokesman.
