If your notion of the so-called "progressive culture that dominates public culture" is the modern Hollywood PC culture that celebrates misogynistic rap music and transsexualism, then Rudy is not the only one who despises that. Most red blooded Americans feel the same way.
Uh, I think you need to know a few things about Rudy Giuliani.

I think Rudy has become embittered and fringey but he once was a very good mayor. And your assertion that he doesn't understand "diversity" is wrong. He grew up in the post war years as an Italian American. Clearly you have no knowledge of the experience of Italian immigrants and their children in America.

Mayor Giuliani's approval rating fell to a new low yesterday, and an overwhelming majority of registered voters in New York City say he has botched race relations and education, a survey found. The Quinnipiac College survey showed the mayor's popularity has fallen since the March 16 shooting of unarmed Patrick Dorismond in an NYPD drug operation gone awry. In a stinging rebuke, only 16% of New Yorkers approve of Giuliani's handling of the shooting. The survey of 816 registered city voters found a scant 37% of New Yorkers approve of Giuliani's performance as mayor, with 57% giving him a thumbs-down.
Why do we even still care about Rudy? He's just a crotchety old ex-prosecutor, ex-mayor, he hasn't even held political office since 2001.
And former presidential candidate. . . oh wait.

Now Jindal is backtracking on his support for Giuliani saying that he never really agreed with him and that Obama does love his country, etc ....... but he did not want to throw G under the bus!
What the Republican candidates don't need is anyone - G or anyone else - saying stuff that they have to come out and either defend or disown. It really is sort of hilarious to watch them distancing themselves as the blow-back got worse.
