Karen Hughes starts her job: Says looters making the US look bad |
|
"It's offensive to me to suggest that somehow, as I've seen some headlines and some reports do, that people, that Americans weren't helped because they are poor or because of their race," Hughes said. "That is anti-American. That is not what our country is about." It is the images of post-storm crime that could do the most damage to the U.S. image abroad, according to Hughes. http://www.gjsentinel.com/hp/content/shared/news/nation/stories/09/09KATRINA_HUGHES.html

1. Yeah. That's what it is. Great job, Karen, really put your finger on it. |
|
All you need to do to clean up the universally poor view of America is to shoot looters and INSIST that there isn't racism in America.

31. Gee, I bet she doesn't mean THESE looters |
|
The New Orleans Times-Picayune reports today that three Federal Emergency Mismanagement Agency contractors were arrested for looting in Plaquemines Parish.
The contractors were allowed to take food and drink from a Family Dollar Store, but they decided to take toys and clothing and loaded the cab of their truck.

20. Ms. Hughes, the Author of: "they died for a noble cause speech" |
|
You can't blame it on 200 looters, false reports of helicopters being fired on - truth be, they were firing in the air to get the attention of the pilots...grant it, not the smartest thing to do, but a far cry from actually being a target Ms. Hughes...! http://downingstreetmemo.com/

6. She obviously hasn't read the global responses, has she? |
|
The entire world is disgusted at our government's lack of ability to take care of its people. The fact that we are the richest, most powerful nation in the world and we can't save our own...THAT is what makes the US look bad.

15. She must have missed the police |
|
chief on CNN just a few minutes ago, who says the lies about the 'crime wave' must be debunked.
He says they are being grossly exaggerated and that his department remained on the job, and received only TWO reports of ATTEMPTED rape, which they responded to at the Convention Center. No other 'rapes' have been verified.
As for crime, he says the people were calm, frustrated but the vast majority of them did absolutely nothing wrong, and the few incidents of crime are being completely taken out of proportion.
Poor Karen, her job is going to be tough, and she may decided to take some more time with her family before long, and before she is accused of being an accessory after the fact. Stop the lying, Karen. We witnessed what happened,
The biggest crime was that your hero and his top government officials went on vacation while their citizens died. Anything that happened, including any break-down in law an order after several days of no water, no food etc., is the fault of those who could have, but refused to put into action all the life saving agencies that were standing by, waiting for, as Lte. Commander Webb said, 'the green light from the POTUS'. Spin away, this time there are way too many witnesses.

30. You're right Karen. The post-storm crime perpetrated on those people |
|
by the federal government IS what is damaging the image abroad.
Ask Chertoff to share his papers with you. I'm sure there's a headline or two about that in them.
