For Rudy Giuliani, Some Unfinished Business In New York City

06 Aug 2007 11:42 am

The author of this tongue-in-cheek, questionably offensive ad is Ryan J. Davis, who e-mails:

I made this ad to remind Rudy who he was when he was mayor and to let Republican primary voters have some idea on the man they're voting for. I don't like hypocrites in any party.

I can see his point but did he really need to add the offensive five-domestic-partners "joke" ?
It turned what is a fairly reasonable point to make into something hurtful and prejudiced.
Sigh.

PS : Not that I should be giving them a pass for the extremly stereotypical "portrayal" of the gays in said ad.
I am gay and even I have internalized that kind of generalized homophobia so much that it took me five minutes to realize that THAT was wrong too.

RottenRudy's answer to this video: 9/11 and cut taxes.

questionably offensive?

Jesus. Who raised you?

Hey Guys,

I made this ad and I honestly don't find it offensive. As a gay guy in New York, I was so angry at Rudy for turning his back on us that I wanted to make his past confront his present....

And, the 5 domestic partner line - yeah it's tacky - but it made me laugh for sure...
