I think this is the fourth one in a series of really funny (ironic?) faux ads for Rudy Giuliani. They've caused quite a stir already as the ads that Swift Boated the Swift Boaters. I read about the controversy (and mystery of the their origin) at ABC News Blotter yesterday: ABC News Blotter story, but it's also been on Crooks and Liars and BradBlog. This one is longer and a little different than the first three, but you can find the others by going to others by that user on YT. (I'll post them separately if I have time, too, I guess)

3. This is interesting

"Then who? <did the ads> The Daily Background blog noted the ads had been posted to several online forums by a MySpace account which appeared to belong to an employee of the Washington, D.C. political advertising firm Stevens, Reed, Curcio and Potholm. The firm gained prominence in 2004 by producing ads for the group "Swift Boat Veterans for Truth," attacking Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry for allegedly lying about his war record.

The firm now works for Sen. John McCain's presidential campaign."

5. Seriously, keep up the "Urban Legend" fight & IAFF is NON-partisan

(1)
Rudy Giuliani is evil. :evilfrown: He neglected the safety of the NY firefighters on 9/11:
Keep telling your friends: Check out the IAFF's (International Association of Firefighters) video:

(2) The IAFF is non-partisan. According to wikipedia:
:bounce:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Association_of_Fire_Fighters

While the IAFF endorsed John F. Kerry for president in 2004, it has endorsed several Republicans. It endorsed the successful gubernatorial candidacies of Charlie Crist (Florida) and Jim Douglas (Vermont), and it endorsed several Republican candidates for the U.S. House and Senate. Examples of the IAFF's endorsement of Republican incumbents in 2006 include Representatives Curt Weldon (Pennsylvania) and John Sweeney (New York).
