The freeper site is blaming the poor for the disaster!!!!!
From Free Republic


Tony's back from vacation! His guests and topics on today's show
include:


"This Is What Happens When a City Gives Up"


What happens when a city relies entirely on the federal government and not on its own
resources? Complete dependence, says Tony, and that's what contributed to New Orleans'
dire straits.

2. Poor is a codeword for African American
The same old Southern strategy Mehlman shed crocodile tears over a few months ago.

3. Everyone knows poor people make levees fail.

1889, 1927, history repeats itself. Learn from it.

Edit: in the Johnstown floods, "poor" meant "Hungarian".

4. Howard Johnson is right!
Lock down those oil refineries and chemical plants until those good for nothing, lazy, shiftless owners start paying their own way. those people are getting way to much federal money as it is, and I heard just a few weeks ago that we have to give them even more billions of the dollars that I WORKED for and I ought to be able to use for other things.

I don't have a problem with oil execs, I even have one as a friend who's in the business.





harumf!
