Now I know some will think to themselves . . . "there's no way Al Sharpton could do 110 MPH"."

I know it sounds a little strange, but Al prooved he could do it in Texas just last monthwith a ride that was a little more pimped out than a school bus.

9/11 pictures ENFORCE Bush. Katrina pictures have the opposite effect.

Thats right. The entire tragedy is all about Bush. Those people dying are doing it to hurt bush.

The baby I saw dying in his mothers arms yesterday was intent an slandering poor Bush . Poor Bush the liberals planned this entire tragedy just to affect his numbers.

What a cruel thing they are doing to Bush with their dying and suffering .

What the hell is the matter with people ? There is a human tragedy happening before our eyes and all you Bushbots can think about is the Presidents numbers.

God help you

Dearest Nathan Zachary ;
In reply to your post: That's just another pathetic negroid trying to drum up the "racisim" angle. If those "blacks" many if not most who wiegh 350+ lbs can't go without food and need to eat each other after only 4 days, They are far less evolved and human than I thought.

Thats some really disgusting bigotted talk there. Very close to hate speech. YOU A FAR LESS EVOLVED AND HUMAN THAN A FREEPER OUGHT TO BE!

Hugs'n'kisses

Brwnsuga (a Negroid- very far from pathetic by-the-way)

What I want to know is how many people die on a normal day in a city of 1 million people?

Sure, there's a political angle to this. But I believe there is also a very subtle media campaign going on here to ensure that New Orleans is never going to be rebuilt -- at least not anything close to its former size.

The nation-wide political will to rebuild New Orleans declines with every story we see on the cable or network television news about the aftermath of Katrina.

My thoughts exactly. If they showed more graphic coverage of 9/11, beheadings, the aftermath of homicide bombings, etc., our country would be a lot less divided.

Actually, no, that's not what we care about. We care about the people, no matter their skin color. But it is sickening how the MSM and some of these victims blame the President, the White Man, the government, but no where do we hear blame on the black mayor, the democratic govenor, or the people themselves that chose to stay. Also, there shouldn't really be blame on any of these people, only on the storm, it was a natural disaster, no one's fault.

As many that had natural and accidental deaths that day + the ones that died of governmental neglect

Your compassion is inspiring

Mat 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

Mat 25:42 For I was an hungred, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:

Mat 25:43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not.

Mat 25:44 Then shall they also answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, or athirst, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?

Mat 25:45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye did [it] not to one of the least of these, ye did [it] not to me.

Mat 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life eternal.

Oba 1:15 For the day of the LORD [is] near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

Karma is a Biblical principle it seems

Whn I was working on my counseling degree they taught us the word BUT negated everything before it

I can see what is really important to the worshipers of Bush, and it is not the welfare of the victims here.

You don't understand what I am trying to say.

In a city that large ... hundreds of people probably die each day from old age, disease, ect..

I wonder how many of the people that died at like the dome, would have died anyway that day, even without the storm.

Do you not think it odd that anecdotal images of death suffuse the media coverage, while estimates on the total are nowhere to be found?
