"Uh, Newsweek editors, substantive criticism of Rudy's 9/11 performance is not
'swift-boating.' This is precisely the line that the Rudy campaign wants you to
take. Its argument has been that critics of Rudy's Masterfully Churchillian
Performance, in particular the International Association of Firefighters, are
thoroughly political and even 'partisan.' This is amusing, since IAFF's New York
locals repeatedly endorsed...Rudy Giuliani for Mayor. To describe this as
'swift-boating' -- with its implication that the criticism is political and
partisan, not to mention an unfair attack on his actual record -- tells the
story exactly the way Rudy wants you to. "
What do you think, do you think the attacks are swift boating? I don't know, they are clearly political, and they get stronger the better he does in the polls, but does that make them political. I would argue that many people made mistakes on 9/11 and it appears to be that Giuliani is the only one who is getting attacked. On the other hand, if the claims are true, isn't this something you would want to know about a man who wants to be the most powerful person in the world?
