Do you think the MSM might acknowledge that?
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:04 pmDo you think the Republicans who are so quick to label MoveOn as an extremist organization will acknowledge it?
Good for them.
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:04 pmKarl Rove : After Katrina, conservatives responded by golfing, playing the guitar, eating cake and shopping for shoes while New Orleans sank. After Katrina liberals like dove right in to help the hurricane victims
(adding later)
I wasn't talking about Democrats, I was talking about FAR LEFT groups like moveon.org
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:10 pmRight On, Move On!
They also just secured a new supporter.
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:11 pmWal-mart puts up 17+ million. Moveon HELPS with some beds. Wow. When are we going to hear from George Soros? Waiting.
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:22 pmSpeaking of Karl Rove...
Al Jazeera is broadcasting Bush's words about the hurricane. Nothing more needs to be said about the motives of neocons.
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:24 pmHow does the Left respond to natural disasters impacting millions of their fellow citizens? With donations, support and prayers.
The Right, on the other hand...
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:36 pmCreamy Goodness,
So are we going to play who donates more, now? I think the point is we have businesses and non-profits reacting faster than our own government's "Emergency Management System" does. It all makes me sick that those people have sat down there all week without anyone doing anything.
This has been a wake up call to the effectiveness of *this* adminstration. If you think they're responding appropriately then I would like you to spend a week on a flooded bridge with no food or water and then let us know how that worked for you. As a Christian, I do not see how you can call the response anything but criminal. It seems closer to ethic cleansing to me.
I'm all for storming the castle!
September 2nd, 2005 at 3:50 pmJust heard on COnnected Coast to coast on MSNBC:
[paraphrasing]
Q. Why didn't the feds air-drop food & water to the convention center & superdome?
A. The National Guard failed to create a drop zone, so it would have killed people if it fell on their heads.
I sh%$ you not, I heard this!
September 2nd, 2005 at 4:03 pmMarie - acknowledged. That is the first patriotic thing MoveOn has ever done. (Besides help Bush get elected.)
September 2nd, 2005 at 4:04 pmHats off to moveon folks....bushie hates them, thats why I joined...lol
September 2nd, 2005 at 4:05 pmDon't even think about responding to northeast demented
September 2nd, 2005 at 4:06 pmNED's plan is to hurt Republicans by portraying the very worst in right wing behavior. He's actually one of us, he's energizing the base.
September 2nd, 2005 at 4:21 pmI'm with you wisedup. I joined moveon.org quite awhile ago. Now I'm going to join all the sane to impeach all this bunch of greedy nut cases in office.
September 2nd, 2005 at 5:25 pmMoveOn rocks!!! I'm on the list.
September 2nd, 2005 at 5:35 pmMoveon.org is one of the most patriotic organizations in the country. Their members work tiressly to undo the damage the Bushie Administration has done to this country.
Now if they can help get the gas prices down. I know that the pugs who pretend to have their finances in order are really feeling the crunch.
Yes, I know about the crunch and guess what, people like NED are now coming to me with their debt problems. The mininum payment on their credit cards are about to double and have been caught completely off guard. They never listen.
September 2nd, 2005 at 6:57 pmIt's another reason that I'm glad I sent them some money. I wonder how much the well-heeled Swiftboat bunch ponied up?
September 2nd, 2005 at 7:14 pmI wonder if the swiftboats have sent any 'boats' over to evacuate - I bet not. CONservatives talk a good game, yet they always fail in the compassion, planning and consideration quadrants. In otherwords they're miserable excuses for human beings...
September 2nd, 2005 at 7:29 pmThank you Move.on.org, Salvation Army, (I know that word "salvation" conjurs up scary thoughts), United Way, Red Cross, Jewish Family Services, Catholic Charities et al.!!!!!!!!!!!! Have the Atheists and Secular Humanists revved up their charities - it's the ethical thing to do!
September 2nd, 2005 at 8:40 pmI don't trust any of the organizations you listed hermaphordite. They are all scammers like yourself. They will not see one dime from me. I prefer to hand my money directly to the displaced Americans. Lucky for me some arrived in Chicago yesterday and I was able to hand them my contribution myself.
September 2nd, 2005 at 9:09 pmexcept Moveon.org (trust)
September 2nd, 2005 at 9:10 pmWon't get a dime of my money unless the red cross or salvation army is giving it to them.
September 2nd, 2005 at 9:16 pmGo ahead and get scammed Barry. The Red Cross is notorious for stealing peoples money. Stupid people do stupid things like support Bushie. Bushie loves you Barry, you've made him a very rich man and all he's done for you is snicker and sneer at you. Now be a good little Bushiehawk and max out your credit card for your loser mentor. Afterall, we know you aren't interested in helping the victims.
September 2nd, 2005 at 10:01 pmThe head of the Red Cross, I don't know what the hell her name is, was praising Bush for caring on "Larry King Live". That says it all.
September 2nd, 2005 at 10:10 pmYes it does Fred. Bushie is giving 10 billion for the disaster relief fund. Add that to the hollywood and corporate millionaires, our couple of bucks are not needed. Dont fall for the scams people! Our government can afford this. If you want to help individuals, wait until you can meet them personally and contribute directly to the victim. Don't feel guilty for not getting scammed.
September 3rd, 2005 at 11:00 amSusan,
You must take into consideration that the $10 billion that Bush is giving, IS OUR MONEY. It is taxpayer money. It isn't coming out of Bush's pocket.
September 3rd, 2005 at 1:45 pmBush is always ready to spend our money -- that's why he has so much of his own.
September 3rd, 2005 at 2:13 pmIsn't it tragic that this nation even needs immediate charity donations to help its own citizens? The war in Iraq has already cost more than 200 Billion dollars (a billion is a thousand million). Does that put into perspective how much is spent on us while he employs his friends' corporations in Iraq for billions - and then cuts the housing and medical benefits for the returning vets?
I have always questioned the Red Cross at the executive levels, with the huge amount of overhead they have. Remember 9-11? You can bet the regional directors are going to be trading in their cars for new ones after this---along with many heads of Bush's faith-based charities. I wonder what the "take" is for Pat Robertson's FEMA $$$.
I can't wait to see the reports of studies that will be released after the 2008 election revealing how much waste and fraud is involved in all this.

December 3, 2005
To the Republicans, what House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi put forth was a dissent within the dissenters (that’s Democrat Party infighting). In “Division of Iraq among Democrats starting to show†by Jonathan Weisman in the Press Democrat paper is not too far from the truth. Nancy Pelosi is finally taking the leap. To me she had always been troubling, shirting around the issues, issues that involve direct action. Last week, Pelosi pitifully pleaded with FOX News to take back what Bill O’Reilly said about San Francisco should be bomb by al-Qaeda for preventing recruiting in city schools. I emailed her, scolding her for such a tack; I recommended Pelosi to call FOX News a pro-terrorist network and walkout of FOX with no debate on the issue. Now I see her in a new and super positive light. Pelosi’s now teaming up with Rep. Jack Murtha demanding to pull U. S. troops out of Iraq as soon as possible. And they couldn’t pick a better time to push for our troops: today a roadside bomb killed 10 Marines and wounded 11 others on a foot patrol near Fallujah. It was the deadliest attack against American troops in four months. By demanding troop withdrawal we all know that doesn’t mean in the next half hour, as the Republicans tried to make it out to be. You have to either brain-dead stupid or a granite-brained cynic to believe that; so much for the Republicans. The obstacles for the withdrawal is being render moot: the general public is seriously considering demanding Congress to bring in the troops. The pro-war Republicans are going to spin for this until the armature glow red hot and the smoke stinks up the sky, or until all the interferences by the elite Democrats and the Republicans resisting this war will fall by the wayside. It happen with Vietnam and it’s going happen with Iraq.
The following is a copy of what I email to Pelosi about her interaction with FOX News and that jerk, O’Reilly:
December 3rd, 2005 at 4:22 pmIs She Brain Dead?
November 18, 2005
I just got through going over my Think Progress blog pipeline and found it clogged with Nancy Pelosi’s reaction over Bill O’Reilly’s “terrorist†statement of having San Francisco blown-up because the city refusal to allow army recuitment into the city’s schools. But sadly, I found Pelosi’s respond weak and stupid. On FOX’s “Your World with Neil Cavuto†Pelosi kept saying “This is — this is no joke. This is deadly serious. … Our city is a very patriotic city. In Northern California, we have more veterans per capita than any place in the country… I cannot even understand why somebody like you and others in your business are not disassociating yourself from this.†And she then allowed that walking corpse, Cavuto, to debate with her?? Is Pelosi brain dead? THERE IS NO DEBATE WHEN SOME NUT CASE OUTTA FOX NEWS PUBLICLY CONDEMNS YOUR CITY INTO ASHES. O’Reilly demanded charred bodies to litter the streets of San Francisco and Pelosi is pleading for FOX and O’Reilly to “TAKE IT BACK?†Screw that to high heaven! Pelosi should have said: “FOX is a pro-terrorist network when it had sided with al-Qeada to have a city in America blown-up. FOX and its personnel should all be haul in and then transferred to Guantanamo Bay where their personally tailored orange jumpsuits are waiting for them.†Then Pelosi should have walk out of FOX studio. NO DEBATE!

The theme of George F. Will’s “The populist fever that follow oil price spikes†is spiking the gas tank so that black is white and white is black. Meaning: Oil and white lies. Will’s contention is that Congress is whipping up public dissent unfairly against our friends at the oil industry. To Will the oil industry had done everything it could to keep the price of gasoline down and if the price did rose it’s because for our own good. Now for a reality check: The industry had done it best to artificially lower the amount of crude produced by domestic refineries. In a 2002 Rand Report, the oil industry complained of excess capacity thus began the shut down of domestic refineries across the nation to artificially raise gasoline prices, creating windfall profits. Another stunt for profit increase: limited oil and gasoline supply in this country and ship that “excess†supply aboard, thus justifying more price hike at your local gas station—and keep telling Congress that there’s a SHORTAGE in this country. Wonder why Will’s article felt warm and snuggly? In the oil industry’s pocket how can it be otherwise?

The catastrophe in New Orleans looms ever more by the day. In “Thousands feared dead†by the Press Democrat News Services prints an event of monumental crisis that’ll gripped New Orleans and the rest of America for years to come. The flooding, the deaths, the exodus to all corners of this nation, the people of New Orleans have been reduce into our own home grown refugees. It appeared that the below sea level New Orleans and Hurricane Katrina have done their worst to destroy lives and property that will cost billions and many years to recover. But the article failed to mention other circumstances that also contributed to the disaster. The city fathers of New Orleans foresaw the calamity that will strike the city when hit by a hurricane if precautions weren’t taken. Like the New Orleans Corps of Engineers budget of $71.2 million, hacked away by the Bush Administration. Have the levees been shore up with that money the damage to the city would have been minimal. Long term projects such as the restoration of the wetlands, an effective environmental ploy to fenced off a hurricane, was also brushed aside by President Bush as well as from pervious administrations. Aside from the affects of the flooding, looting spiraled out of control. This is no surprise. Over 30% of the Louisiana National Guard is in Iraq not where they should be, here, taking care of business in New Orleans’ hour of need. Again, the president’s ideology for Iraq supersedes his responsibilities to the nation he pleaded to protect. Cowboy Hurricane has struck.

“HURRICANE: $200 billion plan offers jobs, housing, education, roads, bridges†by Elisabeth Bumiller and David E. Sanger offers a bleak picture of President Bush’s quick fix for New Orleans. Why? Many of the president’s promises to elevate New Orleans above the water seem to be plucked out of mid air. What are those promises? 200 billion dollars to complete the restoration; the passing of the Urban Homesteading Act; tax incentives and loan for small businesses; more federal funds for public infrastructure. Hey, let’s to get down to reality here: Is Bush going to put all this in writing? Not a chance. Not with two trillion dollar national debt growth since 2001. Just to address the above mention promises Bush would have to cut a mass number of social programs. It’ll be the Peter-to-steal-to-pay-Paul from Hell; the tax cut for the wealthy remains while FEMA starves. In 2001, the Republicans passed a 1.3 trillion dollar tax cut while gutting America’s flood and hurricane protection programs. And in 2003 Bush pushed 125 billion dollar tax cut for stock dividends, sacrificing the Army Corps of Engineers in Louisiana. “I’ll take full responsibility?†I don’t think so.

Again, Cal Thomas stumbled on the obvious when he mistakenly declares it as a discovery: Media Sensationalism. His article “Hurricane coverage…in hindsight†does have something to offer. The media has an incurable appetite for sensationalism. During the aftermath of the Katrina Hurricane, legends of thousands of dead bodies bobbed up and down in the watery streets of New Orleans; hundreds of deaths and rapes by hooligans in the Superdome and the Convention Center; the knee-jerk attack by the left at President Bush for not providing rescue operations soon enough when he was doing all that was humanly possible to save New Orleans. I, too, discount any story when sensationalism rears its opportune head. I disregard President Bush when he said that he had no idea the levees would give way; ignored his knee-jerk attack of the Mayor of New Orleans and the Governor of Louisiana’s failure to prepare and request federal aid in time; and the national televised compliment by Bush, “You’re doing a great job, Brownie.†Both Michael Brown and Michael Chertoff were immediately hailed as heroes only later to be exposed as incompetent hacks. My late father once said: “Always look before you step.â€

Once more unto the breach, dear citizens. In the article “Florida hurricane relief supplies scarce†by Robert Nolin and Linda Kleindienst is Katrina revisited as Willma is quickly approaching to Shakespearean proportion. Act Two of what happened at the Gulf States once again hark their discontent. While the hurricane victims of Florida protest FEMA’s slow response in providing food and other essentials, state and federal officials began the blame game, holding the citizens responsible for not stockpiling their cupboards enough to weather the storm. Florida’s governor Jeb Bush jumped in with both feet in supporting FEMA’s poor performance in the crisis against the people’s criticism, spouting self-responsibility and self-reliance. The rest of the article continue to depict the unfair criticism against the government’s slow response to provide aid and comfort for the victims and the ungratefulness of these people in blaming the government’s lousy performance in the crises. Though financial relief will be offer for those who qualify the majority of the hurricane victims won’t get squat. What wasn’t mention in the article was that in the poverty stricken areas of Florida already resemble a Third World country: Poverty once again rears its ugly face. In the vicinity of Clewiston, 18.8% of the citizens are stuck deep in poverty; yes, the majority of them is black and poor, and is usually the last to receive public assistance. So much for not stocking their cupboards, eh, Governor Bush?

This is the first time I write about Paul Krugman. Normally, I wouldn’t. Why? Mr. Krugman’s work never needed an afterthought. This will be the first. His article “Why wasn’t government prepared?†is masterful, completed. Therefore, due the column’s lack of space, I believe I can fill in the rest. Mr. Krugman’s questions: why aid and security took long to arrive; why wasn’t preventive action taken; and did Bush destroyed FEMA’s effectiveness; were answered completely. His conclusion, too, was masterful. But one issue wasn’t brought up: accountability for the botched “rescue†preparation and operation. In the coming weeks or months revelations of those whose responsibility is to over see and execute rescue operations will not be taken to account for their shoddy performance, their negligence, even if the trail leads straight to the White House. Remember 9/11? The majority of President Bush’s circle has not answered for their shabby and even criminal performance in preventing the attack on 9/11 but was rewarded with promotions and metals. Will there be a repeat of this insult to injury?
