I agree with Dennis. Cross dressing is a non issue. Please remake your video without reference to a person's personal behavior unless that behavior effects their job and the people around them. Rudy Giuliani wearing make up and dancing with a feather boa sounds like harmless fun.

I enjoy most of the Brave New Films videos a lot. But I find this one extremely offensive, espeically for a progressive website. For one thing, I don't think Rudy's personal mistakes, like multiple marriages or even marrying his cousin, are fair game to judge his political career except for example when he allegedly used taxpayers' money to see his girlfriend and to provide security for her before he was married to her. I don't think Bill Clinton's sexual affair with Monica Lewinsky was fair game as it had absolutely no affect on his job performance. Whether Rudy had 3 or 300 wives doesn't affect his career.

But what I think is so offensive that I am asking for this video to be yanked is that the video calls Rudy's "compulsive cross-dressing" a mistake. That is extremely offensive to transgender and transvestite people. I am a gay man who doesn't cross-dress. Yet I think Rudy's cross-dressing is a good thing. I think more people should be OK with cross-dressing, and that anyone who calls it a mistake is a bigot. I would rather have Rudy be himself by cross-dressing than trying to fit the "norms" of society bullshit that everyone has to dress a certain way based on their gender.

I will not vote for Rudy because of his policies and alleged corruption when he was mayor. Yet his wives, his relationship with his kids, and his cross-dressing are definitely not reasons to reject someone for President. Unless, of course you are a Republican and a neo-con.

"MAYBE IF THE MEDIA HAD TOLD AMERICANS THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSH'S DRINKING, DRUG USE, FAILED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND BEING AWOL FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD WE WOULDNT BE IN THE PREDICAMENT WE ARE IN NOW." This statement assumes that the votes and elections weren't rigged, which it was proven they were by a lot of groups especially the black box voting team. It also assumes that people didn't know bush jr. was a bad guy, once again it's not and it was a commonly known thing that the Bush family "are no good" as my grandmother told me when I was a young child was Bush Sr. was in office. If she were alive now she'd have a heart attack knowing Bush Jr. was put into office. The elder members of my family have told me for a very long time of the Bush families misdeeds. Perhaps the real problem is the complacency of the general population, as long as others keep thinking for them and everything is convenient they do not care much about anything else. We need to wake those people up to what is happening. At this rate by 2010 our country will cease to exist for all intents and purposes and we will be identified as citizens of the North American Union, and then by 2015 citizens of the "Global Union". If thats the direction you want to head in, fine but I will not have it as long as I'm alive.

The thing I worry about the most is that despite these issues there is a whole host of ignorant people still supporting him, people that would serve their country best by supporting someone like Dr. Paul. Also this cross dressing lisping f*ck is completely backed by the CFR, so if it plays out like I think they are trying to usher in a Rudy G. presidential administration. It sounds scary, hell I know but I think that is what they really want to achieve. That would be a true testament to how the Bilderberg Group, Trilateral Com., CFR (Council On Foreign Relations), COR (Club of Rome), can manipulate our system and our people on a mass scale. If they think they can get away with it without a revolution breaking out they will do it. Im sure if they start to feel the heat they will manipulate in either Clinton's or Obama's way and you can be sure both of them are bought and paid for by the CFR. These people have contingency plans for everything, they even assume the worst and then come up with a plan based on that also, they also have a plan if a revolution does break out, believe it or not. The best thing we can do is abolish the systems that give these groups their power and the major one is the Federal Reserve, that will do a lot to weed out a lot of their powers, then the IRS and other unnecessary and unconstutional agencies. Anyway all of this is left up to the people regardless of what the media (their propaganda machine) want you to believe, individual people and citizens as a whole have a lot of power. We can usher in a Paul administration, and we can force the hand of these groups and when they do act everyone will be able to see what is really going on, and that should get the rest of those fence sitters back with us.

Let's not forget that Rudy's law firm is handling the "Great American Land Grab" down in Texas so he can have the "Trans-Texas Corridor" for his foriegn client! This Corridor is an expansion of NAFTA so that the jobs can be shipped to lower wage Mexico.

PERHAPS BRAVE NEW FILMS SHOULD CONSIDER MAKING A VIDEO SHOWING WHAT THE WORLD PRESS WOULD LOOK LIKE IF RUDY WAS ELECTED. SEEING IT MIGHT MAKE IT MORE REAL FOR PEOPLE.

I TOTALLY DISAGREE WITH THE RELEVANCY OF RUDY GUILIANI'S PAST BEHAVIOR INCLUDING HIS CROSSDRESSING. AT A TIME WHEN AMERICA IS TRYING TO IMPROVE ITS IMAGE AROUND THE WORLD CAN YOU IMAGINE THE WORLD NEWS HEADLINES SAYING "AMERICA HAS ELECTED A NEW PRESIDENT" SHOWING A PICTURE OF RUDY IN HIS MARILYN MONROE GETUP. WE WILL BE THE LAUGHING STOCK OF THE WHOLE WORLD. MAYBE IF THE MEDIA HAD TOLD AMERICANS THE TRUTH ABOUT BUSH'S DRINKING, DRUG USE, FAILED BUSINESS ENTERPRISES AND BEING AWOL FROM THE NATIONAL GUARD WE WOULDNT BE IN THE PREDICAMENT WE ARE IN NOW. AMERICANS HAVE EVERY RIGHT TO KNOW EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PERSON WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT. ESPECIALLY NOW.

It is perfectly appropriatre to comment on Giuliani's errors in the failure to obtain functioning radios and the unwise location of the emergency command post. It is entirely inappropriate and counter-productive to refer to his private affairs.

How is cross-dressing a mistake? When was the last time cross-dressing was a crime or such a taboo thing to do? Just curious what this has to do with a 9/11 command center or faulty radios, etc.

Mark Allenby,
It is better to keep your mouth shut and let them wonder if you are stupid than to open your trap and remove all doubt>>>>What I was trying to say is that these asshole firemen who perished on the day that Bush had the buildings destroyed,deserved what they got>>>>If Giuliani was not a white racist like they are,they would have been on his ass like white on rice and made sure that their damn radios were working properly>>>Can your racist white ass imagine what the American people would be doing right now if Bush and Cheney were both Black>>>I guess you can't since that would require a little bit of extra work on your part>>>>Lazy jerk.Again,i will repeat that stupid white people like you are allowing other white people to destroy our country because they have convinced themselves that only Blacks and other non whites will suffer>>>>>>If you can't understand that,you are more stupid than you sound

"white people have allowed other white evil people to spread hate all over this land with the misunderstanding that the hate was only going to hurt others>>>>Like the virus that it is,hate will one day spread like wild fire and engulf us all,unless we reject it altogether" Yes, Mr. Oriol it us white folks fault. When the crops dry up or massive floods kills people, i'd like to fess up. It's us white folks... yup, that's it - white folks. The evil doers are all white. Boy do I feel fetter now after baring my soul. Perhaps if you weren't so IGNORANT I would have approached your comments in a more serios manner. Do you also think 9-11 was an inside job set up by The President of the USA? Are you carrying a "flat Earth Society" card in your wallet? I'll bet I could sell you a bridge...how about it... it's a nice one. You know folks, those of us that are actually not racist, and that's a lot more people than Mr. Oriol or the les than stellar husband and activist Jessie Jackson may think can see racism as clear as daylight. Weak people will come up with excuses for why they aren't happy until the second coming, but one thing is for sure... it's NEVER their fault. Try opening your mind a little - I promise it will only hurt a little bit, but like they say - no pain no gain!

You people need to understand the game being played here......Whenever one of the political parties put up such a dimwit loser as Giuliani as a candidate,it is because they do not want to win the election.>>>Just take some time out and watch a wrestling match and you'll understand what I am saying>>>>Bush senior passed the baton to Clinton,,,he passed it to Bush Junior and he is about to pass it to Hillary>>>>Jebb or one of the twins may be next>>>>>We are being played big time by these motherfockers and we keep falling for the bullshit over and over>>>>All of us need to stay home on election day 2008 and let them play their stupid games without our help.....

Every white journalist or blogger should have his or her work revised by a Black person>>>.Even the most progressive amongst white folks always come up short on issues of political science>>>>Robert Greenwald has yet to ask why those firemen were allowing Rudy and his administration to endanger their lives with malfunctioning radios>>>>Why did grown men and woman with so much power in their hands allow one asshole to dictate his will upon them?>>>>As an ex New Yorker who lived in New York during the David Dinkins days,I can assure you that Dinkins would have never gotten away with that>>>Gulliani had this reputation for being tough on Blacks and poor people in general;Something which made him very popular with racist members of the police and fire departments of new York>>>I guess as long as he was leading the march of hate against others,anything he did was fine>>>>>The discussion always has a racial component to it which is hardly ever examined>>>>.
The lesson I draw from all the problems we are dealing with today,including Rudy,is that white people have allowed other white evil people to spread hate all over this land with the misunderstanding that the hate was only going to hurt others>>>>Like the virus that it is,hate will one day spread like wild fire and engulf us all,unless we reject it altogether.............

We live in a state of corporate fascism, treating this planet as business in liquidation, exhausting its resources and destroying its environment. Man is but one species amongst billions of other species on this planet. No one gave man dominion on this planet except man himself. How egotistic has he become?! Nature’s god is angry at us. Shame ---Shame…
It all boils down to what Reagan did in 1988, bowing to pressure from the right, by abolishing the “Fairness Doctrine". The fairness doctrine was the law of the land since 1932. Abolishing the fairness doctrine allowed channels like Fox News and Rush Limbaugh to come to existence. Ninety two percent (92%) of radio talk show hosts now are right wingers. Public airwaves belong to the public and the fairness doctrine must be restored. Insist that the presidential candidates promise to restore the fairness doctrine and to bust the 5 media monopolies which control our thought process. Demand public finance of election.

Ad hominem remarks?

Sorry, I re-viewed the video, but I didn't hear any by the NARRATOR, which are all that matter. Sure, the angry relatives of lost firefighters made personal remarks, as is quite understandable. But it is emphatically not the duty of the producer to edit out all those colorful words. The narrator's voice was remarkably muted, which is how it should be in documentaries.

You just lost me with the ad hominem remarks. Character assassination is the last resort of people who can find nothing else to criticize. This is not the case with Giuliani, as you well know. So why stoop so low? When you use the enemy's tactics, you reveal that you have become as the enemy. As Audre Lorde wrote, "The master's tools will never dismantle the master's house." Please take me off your list as I no longer want to be associated with your organization.

Giuliani totally sucks! Anyone who votes for him sucks! He is the biggest phony who ever walked then streets of New York! He has no values, no values, no ethics and is morally bankrupt. A very 'bad apple' in the Big Apple. Get rid of him before he corrupts the whole barrel!

What disturbs me most is how quickly the scene was cleaned up, so no real investigation was possible. It would certainly help with the conspiracy theories. Sounds like someone on the inside covering tracks. And sending evidence to China?

he stopped firefighters from trying to dig for more people and co-workers prematurely. WhY?

As a good Democrat - I think the Republican nominee should definitely be Giuliani. I mean lets not make a race out of the next Presidential election.

Rudy is sad indeed...however he is only the symptom of a much larger problem.
Everyone who hates Rudy and the rest of the GOP "tow the line" candidates needs to seek out and support...

PUBLICALLY FUNDED ELECTIONS and REAL CAMPAIGN FINANCE REFORM

Our current system is a legalized form of bribery.

We give your campaign millions and you give us favorable legislation. No one gives that kind of money for anything and doesn't expect something in return.

Oh...and for all you Hillary supporters, she is the biggest corporate taker of them all! She will be beholden to all those corporations especially from the health insurance industry. And as the cost of running for office goes up so does the level of loyalty to those who contributed to your campaign because each dollar becomes ever more critical to success.

Save your democracy by supporting PUBLICALLY FUNDED ELECTIONS!!

Power to the common people!
