WASHINGTON - A supporter of Rudy Giuliani's is throwing a party that aims to raise $9.11 per person for the Republican's presidential campaign.

Abraham Sofaer is having a fundraiser at his Palo Alto, Calif., home on Wednesday, when Giuliani backers across the country are participating in the campaign's national house party night.

But Sofaer said he had nothing to do with the "$9.11 for Rudy" theme.

Wow, talk about politicizing 9/11....how much lower can these assholes sink?

If I was a family member of a 9/11 victim I would send him $9.11 in shit stained Monopoly money (n)

yeah thats pretty scraping-the-bottom-of-the-shit-barrell stuff.

not good at all.

does he seriously have nothing else to offer?
that's pathetic!

Well, guys, he was in NYC during the attack.

while this is pretty low, giuliani himself had nothing to do with this at all. it's the theme of a party being thrown by one of his supporters, and the organizer of the party is saying that it wasn't his idea, that a bunch of young people came up with it (that may or may not be true)

at any rate, you can't really pin this one on giuliani himself, however tempting that may be. it'd be like if someone from bumblefuck alabama started selling confederate flags to raise money for the bush campaign. you really really want to use it, but you kind of can't

If he had any conscience he wouldn't allow this to happen

"His embrace of gun rights appears to have occurred more recently than the months after the 2001 attacks. He was quoted in 2002 and 2004 _ years later _ staunchly supporting gun control.

As mayor, Giuliani sued gun makers and distributors, backed a federal assault weapons ban and once described the NRA as extremist. As a candidate for the GOP nomination, he is struggling to square that record with his need to win over a Republican base made up of conservatives who fiercely defend and in some cases base their votes on the Second Amendment."

They don't make Monopoly cents.
