Dueling Firefighters debate Giuliani

Interesting developments in the Firefighters don't like Rudy mini-fracas. Looks like Rudy is pushing back with support from an outfit called, Firefighters for Rudy with an Executive Director Tim Brown.

I was interested in who they were, and my first trip was to do a WHOIS search. I found the following:

Interesting.

One domain is registered to Tim Brown of thebravest.com a little under 6 months ago, and the other two are registered by the IAFF, who were the exact people who did not invite Giuliani to the debate.

I am awaiting response to questions to Tim Brown, and will post a followup.

Later 11-Mar-07
I was out of town this weekend & without web connection.

Looks like Tim Brown is on Giuliani's payroll (no wonder we never got an answer):

Unfortunately for the AP, however, a cursory bit of checking reveals that Tim Brown is actually an aide to Rudy, and it's unclear whether the group even has a membership larger than just Tim Brown. The phone number the campaign offered for the group is actually the same as that of the Rudy campaign's press office. Even the Daily News knew to describe "Firefighters for Rudy" as a "campaign offshoot," which isn't enough, but it's at least a start in the right direction.

So there you go: Firefights really are against Rudy.
