I'm bored. Lets talk family values.

His Uncle Leo owned a bar named Vincent's. Leo also ran gambling and loan-sharking operations out of the bar. He wasn't the only criminal in this mixed bag of families. Another was Rudy's dad.
Harold Giuliani had seemed to have trouble holding jobs. He'd worked as a plumber's helper and several other jobs for short stretches. One reason he had trouble getting work was his criminal record. Harold had been convicted of a robbery and sent off to Sing Sing. In 1948, with a young son, he needed something steady. So he went to work for Leo.
In 2000, a Village Voice reporter, Wayne Barrett went public with details of Harold Giuliani's criminal past. They were part of an investigative biography of Giuliani and ran in the Voice. Barrett didn't just bring up the prison time. He also says that Harold was an enforcer for Uncle Leo's loan sharking and gambling operations. Giuliani claims he never knew details of his father's past.
Yep, that's all Rudy's fault. He picked the wrong family to be born into. By the way, is your family without any blemishes? I give Rudy alot of credit for rising above those who came before him.
I fail to see what Uncle Leo and Daddy Harry have to do with Rudy today.
Dear FreeInWV,
I'm not considering voting for the fathers of any of the announced candidates.

Those of us who are FreeInNY know Giuliani as the man who did more than to clean up the City, including taking on the mob-Union connection than any mayor before or since.
By the way, the Voice Village, the paper you're quoting, is a homo-commie rag that once portrayed Giuliani on the cover as Hitler. I didn't know people in WVA read homo-commie papers. Live and learn.
Thank you! You exposed Wayne Barrett as a reporter with a rabidly anti-Rudy slant, so extreme that he will try to smear the current candidate with things his father did when he was a small child. Now we know to take anything Barrett writes as anti-Rudy propaganda.
Good job!
Rudy's accomplishments are legendary in law enforcement versus the mob and Wall Street. I've been following his career closely since the early 80s with admiration.
I'm not going to hold what earlier family members did against him.
If someone reads the whole article, they'll see that it's not as negative as the parts you have selected.
I hope I'm never held responsible for the actions of some of my relatives!
May I ask what your point is in posting this information? Are you suggesting that anyone who has a father, or any other family member for that matter, who did anything wrong, should be ridiculed for what we refer to as the "sins of the father"?
