Former New York Mayor Rudy Giuliani launched a new radio ad in Iowa Tuesday called “Nightmare” in response an anti-Giuliani ad released by the liberal political action group MoveOn.org.
“Why is MoveOn attacking Rudy Giuliani?” the script reads. “Because he’s their worst nightmare. They know Rudy is a Republican who can beat the Democrats. And they know, no matter what they say, Rudy will never, ever back down.”
MoveOn originally planned to release the ad only in Iowa beginning Wednesday after buying $50,000 of airtime. But after hearing Giuliani’s ad, the organization decided to air it nationally and bought $50,000 more airtime on CNN.
“If you liked Michael Moore’s ‘Sicko,’ you’re going to love HillaryCare 2.0. Senator Clinton’s latest health scheme includes more government mandates, expensive federal subsidies and more big bureaucracy — in short, a prescription for an increase in wait times, a decrease in patient care and tax hikes to pay for it all,” communications director Katie Levinson said in a statement.
Clinton is not a new target for Giuliani’s campaign. Last week, it launched its first Web ad called She Changed, criticizing the senator for changing her stance on Iraq and “turning her back” on the U.S. soldiers in Iraq.
