>>>>>That's a complete LIE! Rudy was NEVER "fond" of John V.!

Spreading falsehoods, AGAIN!

Archives of Rudolph W. Giuliani Memorial Service for Mayor John V. Lindsay Friday, January 26th, 2001

A snippet of Rudy`s remarks about John V. Lindsey:

"John Lindsay defined an era in the life of New York City.

He embodied the hopes of a generation after the death of John F. Kennedy, a time of discord, rebuilding, and re-birth, when all the action in our nation -- for better and for worse -- seemed to be taking place in our cities.

He made New York City a symbol for urban America, by speaking out about what he believed was wrong, discussing what he believed could be made right, and proposing solutions whose legacy we live with today.

There is no question that he had an enduring impact on the City that he loved. His energy, his optimism -- and yes, his charisma -- made him a national figure during the time he lived at Gracie Mansion.

So considering this distinguished lineage, you can see why I cling to a strong bond with John Lindsay. I want to grab on to his coattails, and Fiorello's.

All three of us Republicans were also elected as candidates of the Liberal Party, and all three of us had to take positions that were at times at odds with our national party."

Good grief! That was said at a MEMORIAL service!

Bill Clinton PRAISED Nixon, when he died.
