NEW YORK (AP) -- A filmmaker who was behind documentaries that bashed Rupert Murdoch and Wal-Mart is now focusing on Rudy Giuliani, creating an "online viral video campaign" about the presidential candidate timed to coincide with the anniversary of the Sept. 11 attack.

Robert Greenwald on Thursday launched the first of four short videos about Sept. 11 and the Republican former mayor. The others are planned to launch throughout the month.

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.

"We want to use this forum to reach people and show and tell and say, 'Look here are some truths that we want you to know,'" Greenwald told The Associated Press. The video blitz has an accompanying web site, therealrudy.org.

The Giuliani campaign questioned Greenwald's motivation and timing.

I don't think that Giuliani has any chance of winning the nomination, so that's not my reason to be happy about this, as much as it is for the firefighters and other first responders who have been screaming this for years. It's great to see Giuliani myth getting the attention it deserves, from such a noted filmmaker.

1. "The Giuliani campaign questioned Greenwald's motivation and timing"

If they Giuliani camp has nothing to hide, then why worry? Eh Rudy?

2. Did you see this?

"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.

That's how they plan to discredit Greenwald: tag him as a conspiracy theorist nut. I don't think it'll stick, though.

3. huh? the timing is that Giuli's running for president

and the motivation is that Giuli was an absolutely horrible mayor
and on the days before during and after 911, Giuli did squat...
and the world should know that... especially in light of all the
St Giuli hero propaganda.

All these breathless Giuli gushers must not live in New York
or they'd know first hand that 'America's Mayor' is full of crap.
