Brooklyn Museum Art Controversy In 1999 Giuliani threatened to cut off city funding for the Brooklyn Museum if the museum did not remove a number of works in an exhibit entitled “Sensation: Young British Artists from the Saatchi Collection.” One work in particular, The Holy Virgin Mary by Turner Prize winning-artist Chris Ofili (a Catholic himself), featured the Virgin Mary next to elephant dung and female genitalia pictures. It was targeted as being offensive to some in the Christian community in New York, leading the artist to comment that "This is all about control."

Rudy's liberalism on social issues is being exaggerated by some. Your above example is a good example of when Rudy is right on social issues. And there are other examples as well and I applaud him for it.

That said, on social issues, Rudy does have a big abortion, 2A and illegal immigration problem and at this point I won't settle for that.

By all means people should vote for who they want. I appreciate your reasoned and well stated reply.

If Rudy wins the primary I hope you will vote for him. I know I will vote for the party's nominee whoever it turns out to be.
