Anderson Cooper Describes "Stupid Death" in Haiti - Video 1/15/10
Freedom's Lighthouse ^ | January 15, 2010 | Brian

Posted on 01/15/2010 8:32:19 PM PST by Federalist Patriot

Here is video of CNN's Anderson Cooper talking to Larry King tonight about what is being done with the dead in Haiti. Cooper describes the mass graves that are being used to bury the thousands who have died.

Cooper became emotional in describing what is taking place in Haiti as "Stupid Death." King asked him what he meant, and Cooper said he meant death that did not need to happen - the little girl who could be saved if there was a doctor to amputate her leg; someone who could survive if they had antibiotics. But too often, that does not exist in Haiti - "Stupid Death."

In the video below, Cooper describes a series of mass graves outside the city of Port-Au-Prince where the dead are being buried . . . (VIDEOS)

Maybe I’m being generous..but I think when you witness things like this first hand, you become so overwhelmed..and angry...that things don’t come out right. I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt on this. But JUST this! He’s really a jerk!

Beware what the news media is telling you about Haiti.

Obama/Rahm have told them to tell you what they want you to think. Designed to get 1 million or more Haitians into America so he can win FL and ACORN/SEIU can steal OH. IN, MO, CO, NV, AZ and others in 2012.

Obama will also annex Haiti then your retirement funds (they are talking about this) because you are rich, probably white and evil.

They are talking about a govt annuity which will be another form of Social Security. They are talking about taking your retirement money to help those Haitians among other things.

Like Haitian-American Peggy Joseph circa 2008
“Obama is gonna pay my mortgage and put gas in my car”

Nice that he cares, but he grew up super rich, he’s a gay guy from Manhattan and knows rather little what passes for normal in fly-over country, and nothing about what passes as an average day in Haiti (me too, of course).

Were he to witness MANY different types of death, this type of person would classify them as “stupid deaths”.

Nice he cares, all the same.

“Stupid death”? Why? Because Cooper was too stupid to do anything about it?

“Stupid death” is when someone does something that kills THEMSELVES because of their own actions! What is happening there is “tragic death”, “sad death”, “pitiful death” NOT “stupid death”

Anderson Cooper is a useless little twerp with no intelligence.

Al Gore knows that lib support in Florida is CRITICAL in a squeeker —so they’ll import mobs of them. You know what makes people throw logic, reason, and healthy cynicism aside? TV IMAGES.

IT’S ALL ABOUT POWER:

“Never let an emergency go to waste...”

And yet, they continue to report the stories. I’m so sick of all the high profile network reporters doing stories about not enough help. Any decent person would put the camera down and help. I know I would. Screw the broadcast. Sometimes there are more important things to do.

There is not much death in this world that isn't stupid, cruel and unfair. There are some people for whom death is a sweet mercy and some who deserve death but those are the exceptions.

I wonder how many QALY’s (Quality Adjusted Life Years) ObamaCare would assign to each of the injured/sick Haitians, in determining whether they should be denied treatment (based on cost).

Rush made this basic point today.

Ask your neighborhood Socialist their opinion, and watch their little craniums rattle.

I guess the US Envoy to Haiti is a complete womanizing waste. Right Anderson?

- the little girl who could be saved if there was a doctor to amputate her leg;

someone who could survive if they had antibiotics.

On top of all their suffering Cooper is there to call these people stupid.

Between Cooper and Sanchez, it seems that CNN has gone totally off the rails of sanity.

Sanchez is all atwitter because all the victims are not being given a proper burial. He seems oblivious to the danger of dead bodies lining the streets in a tropical climate.

As for Cooper, he’s just mentally unbalanced and for his own good ought to be brought home ASAP.
