"if you throw mud on me"
...so you're either a lib or member of the MSM (or standing close by them), because that's where my criticism is directed and that's where it sticks. I note the lack of offers of assistance out of a nasty habit I picked up as a reporter...seeing a story from all angles...and because it justifies the hefty amount the US gov spent in FLA. The MSM/libs try to pass that off as vote buying when, in fact, FEMA was doing what has to be done when there is nowhere to turn for help. There never are outside offers of help when the US has such a disaster, and pointing out that the aid door only swings out isn't a solicitation, it's just a fact. Refusing to face facts...now that's shameful and childish.
I know that your criticism was directed against those who criticize the US efforts to help. And neither am I a liberal nor am I standing close to the MSM. I just think that this mud-throwing should stop - I didn´t say that I participate in this game. Oh, and when the US was hit on Sept 11th 2001, the whole free world offered assistance! People all over the world donated money for the victims families... kids who lost a parent were even flown over to Germany for vacations to get some distraction. Please see actually the story from ALL angles and not only pretend to do so. And now let´s stop this f*kin´ childish game and go on with real issues. The discussion "who gives more, you are stingy!" "No, YOU are stingy!" helps nobody, but out there are enough who need help!
