Giuliani Rattled, Cancels Remarks as Pro-lifers Disrupt Sunday Bus Tour Stop
Christian Newswire ^ | 1/13/08 | Christian Newswire

"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

Contact: Joseph Landry, 406-860-9738; Steven Pokorny, 216-346-9765; Randall Terry, 904-461-0834; all with The "Stop Rudy" Tour

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.

Yep...those facts are always getting in the way....just darn!

I saw another quote I liked today:

I doubt it, especially if you want to silence those who are trying to defeat an abortionist.

Aw...now why did you have to go and say that. He'll now go on yet another tirade insisting that is not what he's doing (regardless of the fact that his posts show just the opposite).

We can continue to raise money for ultrasound machines for crisis pregnancy centers.

We can adopt children (as I have done).

Oh, that’s two. I apologize.
___________________________________________________________

Sorry I didnt get back to you yesterday...

I couldnt remeber the pro-abortion woman who had adopted FOUR children...

Rosie O’Donnell...

It’s great that you adopted a child but it doesnt make inroads into stopping Abortion...

Just makes you like Rosie O’Donnell but only 1/4 as “good” or whatever you were inferrring...

Pregnant women would have to go into a “crisis pregnancy center” to use an ultrasound machine and those are not the ones intending to murder their unborn...

Ultrasound machines in cpcs are not going to stop abortion..

But Randall Terry and his group have been effective in changing the minds of women about to enter the abortion mills...

And those young men who called out to Gulianni while he was on a float did something...they exposed the nummbers of their contemporeries who are not living tosday because they were slaughtered before they had a chance to be born, and live and marry and have children of their own...

those young men in Florida did something and had more guts
than it takes to harrass and name call the pro-life people in this thread...

Only a troll who is pro-abortion would keep attacking pro-life conservatives..

Another challenge for for [sic] to avoid.

Just because you wish to keep repeating your insanity doesn't mean that I will join you in it. As to your lie and misrepresentation (yet again): You've repeatedly asked a question to which you were repeatedly answered; that you didn't like the answer doesn't mean it was not answered. Go back to the posts numbered in the 300's and you will find several places where you repeated what you laughingly call a "challenge" and you shall find what the answer (several times) which you claim was "avoided." Seek and ye shall find.

Show me where I asked for any force to be used agains [sic] the facists, government or otherwise.

Cite a post where I ever said that, liar.

You think the above post states I said "[Balding Eagle] asked for any force to be used agains [sic] the facists, government or otherwise.

FOFLMAO.....you're demented and a liar.

Tsk tsk, personal attacks (’Liar’ #626, and ‘you’re demented and a liar’ #629) are the desperate sign of someone who knows he’s losing an argument.

Better luck next time.

My posts, stating what your are, merely state the obvious.

You have lost the argument, but you can’t even see that. So there is no use talking to you. I had determined when I said you had exposed yourself that it was a waste of my time, but decided to try again. I was wrong, you are waste of time. You either totally understand, or you just love to argue.

“No Republican has EVER been elected without the NRA endorsement and that is something else Rooty and Romney will never get!”

Is that true? Where can I read that?

If the “Let’s Shout Down Rudy” crowd can use the same fascist tactic as Hitler’s minions (I’m general loath to use him, but you put him on the table), why can’t Code Pink? I can’t think of any reasons, can you?

In short, the “Let’s Shout Down Rudy” crowd is misguided, and very dangerous. Their tactics cost lives, not save them.

I'm with you.

You're welcome. Isn't it amazing how similar the words were to those uttered before he signed the bill as governor?

How do you mean?

In other words, the man was never pro-choice or pro-abortion.

I never said he was pro-abortion or pro-choice, did I?

His positions never changed.

Seems to me like it did. From the very letter you cite:

If faced with the same problem today, I can assure you I would make sure there were no loopholes in the bill.

From this statement, it appears to me RR changed his political (not necessarily his moral) position: he would be more circumspect regarding loopholes. Not that he was ever pro-abortion, but that he did change his thinking on under what circumstances it was permissible.

The most important commitment to me is the last line in the letter: ...please rest assured there is no way I could or would change my position with regard to my opposition to the permissive abortion that is taking place throughout our land.

I think most of the R candidates agree with that.

Very proud of FLORIDA!...About time that 'Social values Conservatives' start putting actions where their mouth is!...

It is a new era and we must be more assertive, more active.

I still can’t tell from the pictures that Rudy was in some parade at the point he was being yelled at. But even if he was, I find it distasteful that someone would follow him down the street screaming at him.

The NRA didn’t endorse POTUS candidates before 1980, there was no need because even the RATS before that time weren’t dumb enough to be anti-gun.

After that time no Republican has won without the NRA endorsement. ( GHWB 2nd term and Bob Dole)

Many of the gun voters are moderate Dems that will vote REp if we run a good pro-gun candidate. If not they vote RAT.

Thats the reason anti-gun Republicans lose in the general election.

How do you mean? I never said he was pro-abortion or pro-choice, did I?

You said:   "Ronald Reagan changed his position on abortion, as well."   That is false.

...it appears to me RR changed his political (not necessarily his moral) position: he would be more circumspect regarding loopholes. Not that he was ever pro-abortion...

Wanting to close a loophole in an abortion law, a loophole that Reagan did not see at the time he signed the law, is NOT "changing his position on abortion".

... he did change his thinking on under what circumstances it was permissible.

NO. His thinking on "circumstances" did not change, as he clearly stated in his letter.

Your effort to try to take-down Reagan to prop up your preferred candidate(s) is duly noted. I find your tactics completely dishonest.
