Barney Franks on harball talking of Katrinia

[rodeodance]

[rodeodance]

1. if allowed to continue bush policy there will be less Afro and lower incom

e people in NO.

[rodeodance]

2. it is going to be a much richer and white NO says Barney

[rodeodance]

6. and fewer Dems living in Lousianna cause in INACTION (not deliberate

) but the inaction by fed gov. will lead to to this political effect.

[rodeodance]

8. the consequece of doing nothing has no political effect on them says

Barney.

[rodeodance]

10. Barney used the term 'ethnic cleansing" to refer to what is going on NO

[rodeodance]

13. says there is 0 money going to help lower-income people in LA/coast

[rodeodance]

14. a big delegation of katrina victims had come to DC today.

[GrumpyGreg]

7. Rich and white like where Barney has his residence in Mass.

[rodeodance]

17. Barney franks has always stuck up for the lower income people.

[GrumpyGreg]

25. As long as he doesn't have to live near them.

[NanceGreggs]

3. Doesn't he mean Hurricane Corinna?

Jeez, these Dems are so uninformed ...

[DemonGoddess]

4. mentions that this is

ETHNIC cleansing

[MissWaverly]

11. it is also Democrat eradication

If they had all been supporters of Bush Cheney 04, it would have been different.

[Coexist]

5. "one consequence is a Louisiana that is Republican"

"that's why I said, "inaction"."

Imagine that.

[fooj]

9. I wish they'd all stop saying "I'm not accusing them of doing this"...

Hell, I say ACCUSE AWAY!!!

Peace.

[Coexist]

16. I agree - stop being afraid to hurt some feelings.

[sandnsea]

21. I agree

If you aren't accusing them of doing this on purpose, then just shut the hell up about it. Frank just came off as a partisan hack which is too bad because he's not.

[catmother]

12. love barney frank. he tells it the way it is.

:bounce:

[rodeodance]

15. david bitter will on next for the rebuttal (Repug)

[DemonGoddess]

19. yeah he's complaining about

Barney Frank's "inflammatory rhetoric"

[Coexist]

20. Oh - it's "shameful"

is that their only trick?

"inflammatory rhetoric"

Ooh - don't kick me like that.

[adigal]

24. Too bad - deal with the hard, cold facts

Jerk.

[catmother]

23. thanks for the warning.

[sandnsea]

18. Either accuse them or shut up

Either come right out and accuse them of being racist and wanting to push African Americans out; or just shut up. I was very disappointed when he back-pedaled and turned his comments into Republicans playing political gamess instead of the racism that it is.

[adigal]

22. He was awesome!! Did Tweety get a liberal brain

transplant today?? His whole show, starting with the talk about Libby turning on Cheney, reminds me of how he was a LONG time ago!!

[OneBlueSky]

26. it says something that a northeast liberal Democrat would . . .

go on television to talk about Katrina, its victims, and the BushCo lack of response . . . even though it doesn't directly concern his district or his constituents, he's compassionate enough and concerned enought to extend himself to help those on the Gulf Coast . . . kudos, Barney . . .

[laheina]

27. If people outside of NO don't stand up for them

then who the hell will?

[JCMach1]

28. Love B. Frank, but Dems need to stop apologizing!!!!

When was the last time you saw a pug apologize, or clarify their statements....?
