"What Giuliani doesn’t mention is that the consulting company that has made him a very wealthy man since leaving public office has done work on behalf of a country that all but certainly does not love America in the vague, jingoistic way Giuliani would like you to believe that he does: Qatar, the tiny oil-rich kingdom has drawn criticism in the past for its cozy relationship with violent Islamist movements."

In the New York Daily News, meanwhile, longtime Giuliani gadfly Wayne Barrett runs down the ex-mayor's history of associations with individuals who definitely weren't helping defend American greatness—like Bernard Kerik, who Giuliani recommended to run the Homeland Security department despite Kerik's extensive record of stealing public resources (like an apartment rented for 9/11 responders) for his personal benefit, and the government of Qatar, for whom Giuliani has performed consulting work and which helped protect 9/11 planner Khalid Sheikh Mohammed. He also notes that Giuliani's father—who presumably was one of the people who "brought [him] up" to love America—was a convicted violent felon who didn't serve during WWII:

Harold Giuliani...did time in Sing Sing for holding up a Harlem milkman and was the bat-wielding enforcer for the loan-sharking operation run out of a Brooklyn bar owned by Rudy's uncle.

Though Rudy cited Harold throughout his public life as his model (without revealing any of his history), he and five Rudy uncles found ways to avoid service in World War II. Harold, whose robbery conviction was in the name of an alias, made sure the draft board knew he was a felon. On the other hand, Obama's grandfather and uncle served. His uncle helped liberate Buchenwald, which apparently affected him so deeply he stayed in the family attic for six months when he returned home.

This pretty clearly supports the fact that Giuliani is completely batshit insane for trying to argue that he (and other "true" Americans) are some patriotic heroes. It's not that Giuliani is particularly bad, it's that it illustrates how stupid and weird conservatives are about stuff like this.
