Agreed. SOME people hated Giuliani, of course, but even before 9/11 he was famous all over as the guy who helped clean up New York.
That he DID do.
As far as hero... not by a long shot. The hero's on 9/11 exist... but a majority of them lost their lives becoming one. Giuliani was merely a steady hand... one of many in a terrible debacle... no more a hero than a king.
The media and the liberals hated him. Specifically the Clintons. I believe they went out of their way to disgrace him prior to 9/11. I remember him before 9/11 not only as the man who cleaned up NYC but also the man who told Arrafat to stay away and ordered the towing of cars owned by UN diplomats/deadbeats. I also remembered him standing up against those who called the Virgin Mary covered in dung, art. The media and the liberals were doing the same job to Rumsfeld prior to 9/11 and had to put their smear on hold for a few years.

Before 9/11 there were "students" and other losers doing goose-stepping Nazi rallies denouncing Rudy. I distinctly remember a black "protest" like this.
Shows you how grateful they were for saving so many black lives in the areas he cleaned up and policed, maybe if he was a real Nazi-racist he would have ignored your neighborhoods and stepped down policing and let the criminals run the projects the way Dinkins did.
At the time Rudy took over, you didn't even want to go to the city, the thugs thought when Dinkins became mayor that it was time to take over things, and they did. They said the city was "ungovernable" it was, if you were a passive, timid, liberal moron.
