"A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani." -- Steven Pokorny, age 28, at Giuliani during meeting in Miami, Sunday, Jan. 13
MIAMI, Jan. 13 /Christian Newswire/ -- Rudy Giuliani was rattled by pro-life advocates and canceled his speech at his first bus-tour event Sunday in Miami. Activists have planned confrontations with Rudy for every stop of his Florida bus tour. Photos available online.
On Sunday, Jan. 13, at approximately 12:15 PM, pro-life activists were in the crowd at The Green Street Cafe (located at 3110 Commodor Plaza, Coconut Grove Florida, just outside Miami) waiting for Giuliani to begin his Florida Bus Tour.
When Rudy Giuliani arrived, Joseph Landry (age 26) was within 5 feet of the candidate, and began yelling: You are a baby killer! You are a baby killer! Florida is pro-life! Rudy wants public funding for abortion!" See news report. Law enforcement officials immediately escorted Mr. Landry from the area, while Mr. Landry continued his monologue.
Within Minutes, Steven Pokorny, age 28, stood to his feet and cried out, "A third of my generation is dead because of politicians like Giuliani! Giuliani wants to kill children and have you pay for it!" Law enforcement did not stop Mr. Pokorny.
At that point, Giuliani left the building, without addressing the crowd.
Mr. Pokorny was able to follow Mr. Giuliani for more than a minute, yelling out about Rudy's pro-choice, pro-homosexual agenda. Again, Mr. Pokorny was not interrupted by police.
Giuliani officials had no idea how many pro-lifers were in the crowd, and how many more times Giuliani would be confronted. This might explain why Mr. Giuliani did not make any remarks - and left the meeting without addressing supporters.
Pro-lifers have scheduled confrontations with Rudy on every stop of his Florida Bus tour.
Video footage of the confrontations with Rudy is available upon request.
Thank you.
Why are you fearful of answering the question?
Are you in support of folks like Code Pink shouting down our side to the point where Coulter, Hororwitz, and others can’t even speak?
How are you different than Code Pink?
Maybe not but it may keep that liberal cross dresser from becoming president and wrecking the conservative party.By the way when do you feel it is time to fight? I hope not before it will be too late.
It’s infinitely more telling that Giuliani wouldn’t or couldn’t face the criticism of the pro-lifers. Additionally, he wussed out on the rest of the supporters at the event. How would you feel about taking the time on your weekend to get yourself to a candidates’ campaign stop early enough to be allowed access and be processed through security, only to have the candidate stiff you?
And stiff you because of an issue he doesn’t want to address. He didn’t even try. Sounds like he didn’t even want to try, he didn’t wait until the shouting stopped or even make a move to be a candidate for the people who showed up there.
Very, very telling about Rudy.
I won't read the entire thread, but what was he banned for? You make it sound as though he was banned simply because he likes Rudy.
Well, Stevie boy, Rudy will replace them all with third world imports. So don't worry! < / sarcasm >
I support, and have so stated, the right of ANY American to peaceably assemble and exercise their free speech in protest of ANY politician in public forum.
How are you different than Code Pink?
Would you have America adopt the same policies that the Chicoms did at Tienanmen Square?
The best way to stop abortion is for FreeRepublic to take all of the money that it has raised and send it to the Rudy Giuliani campaign. He will best defend the born — and the unborn.

That would give a whole new meaning to the phrase "Let's Roll."
Rudeness, hostility and general underclass behavior will not win the day. If they did, we would have passed that pro-life amendment to the Constitution that has been carried on the Republican platform for the last 27 years.
Your efforts will be amply rewarded, not with Fred Thompson, but with Governor Huckabee or Senator McCain. In the meantime, you prove the modern, liberal Democrat’s belief that cultural conservatives are rude and ignorant and lacking in simple human courtesy.
Well surely there was more to it than that.
Did he make a personal or crude remark about another poster?
I don't know the motivation for JimRob or the mods banning a particular person, I doubt that it was solely because he was a Rudy supporter. They generally ban themselves by running down real conservative principles and when they bring their liberalism directly to the attention of the owner, they might as well say, "ban me please".
You have every right to support who you please, I know I will. I just question your judgement if you back Rudy
I would ask the owner of this site.I am not a mod.
I would buy that except for the fact we are arguing against the murder of unborn children.What has happened to this country.
Any politician who is running for statewide or national office and isn't thick-skinned enough to face a crowd of hecklers doesn't have what it takes to hold that office. If they are going to be flustered by some people holding signs and shouting slogans how are they ever going to go up against America's enemies?
HEAR’ HEAR! Its just the rinos that want us to suspend disbelief regarding their records.
“If they are going to be flustered by some people holding signs and shouting slogans how are they ever going to go up against America’s enemies?”
I agree.
Ask President Bush who had to stand up to that very same thing this past week.
The hardest core of the pro-abortion contingent are not going to be voting for Rudy are they? In fact, I think its safe to say they won’t be voting for anyone running as a republican.
I’d like to see Rudy’s gun-grabbing, amnesty-supporting liberal butt off the ballot.
And after him, let them go after the architect of Romney-care and his taxpayer funded abortions.
When a person is going into politics at that level, they better know that they are going to be protested against.
Oh yea right.We better keep it down or the pro abortion people will be out in force to vote.And we will be there as well to counter that vote.Do tell,what issue would you stand up and be counted on?
