Reynolds: “Did you harbor any anger toward the President because of the slow federal response?”

London: “No, none whatsoever, because I feel like our city and our state government should have been there before the federal government was called in. They should have been on their jobs.”

Reynolds: “And they weren't?”

London: “No, no, no, no. Lord, they wasn't. I mean, they had RTA buses, Greyhound buses, school buses, that was just sitting there going under water when they could have been evacuating people.”

...Early this morning, chief goons at the DNC huddled...

"All right, somehow these people got access to some computers and were obviously directed to surf the Free Republic website. We must find the culprit....and eliminate them."

Great post.

Here's more:

***.........HOUSTON, Sept 4 (Reuters) - In the last week, Joseph Brant lost his apartment, walked by scores of dead in the streets, traversed pools of toxic water and endured an arduous journey to escape the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina in his hometown New Orleans.

On Sunday, he was praising the Lord, saying the ordeal was a test that ended up dispelling his lifelong distrust of white people and setting his life on a new course. He said he hitched a ride on Friday in a van driven by a group of white folks.

"Before this whole thing I had a complex about white people; this thing changed me forever," said Brant, 36, a truck driver who, like many of the refugees receiving public assistance in Houston, Texas, is black.

"It was a spiritual experience for me, man," he said of the aftermath of a catastrophe...*** Source

They appear to be pushing harder for the dissent that they (HBM) want.

"I watched a rather frantic Rita Cosby..."

Did that fat 'ho have Twinkie cream all over her face while she "interviewed" them with her raspy man voice?

I certainly hope this makes it to every person who voted for Nagin and Blanco, and against President Bush.

I watched reaction on Headline News and all, including black people had nice things to say about President Bush. Said he is trustworthy, a man of faith, and that they believe him when he says something. I can't remember anyone saying anything negative.

What was most interesting, though, was one of my liberal sisters who called to say she was watching ABC, and saw the Reynolds interviews. She was appalled at how hard he tried to get them to say something negative about Bush. She said it was blatantly obvious what the guy was doing. It surprised and pleased me that she would recognize it for exactly what it is: liberal bias in the media. Baby steps.

Thanks for posting this. I have been looking for a video clip. I am surprised that once the interviews where not going their way that ABC didn't put one of those grey screens up saying "Experiencing Technical Difficulties"

Or maybe it shows that Americans are weary of being told what to do and think by some whiny @$$ed intellectually lazy elitist undereducated snob.

Because he is brilliant and they are too emotionally disturbed to concede that fact.

Those pictures of submerged buses have had a large, nationwide effect.

You have to think that they were trying their best to get anti-Bush footage.

I am very sorry for what you have gone through and what are going through.

I can only try to understand how hard it is to make a decision as to what to do next, given all of the horrors that have taken place.

You and your family are in our hearts and prayers.

How did you know I was up this early? Thanks for the ping. I have been so excited by that ABC thing that I haven't been able to sleep. I LOVE being right. I said that this would work out in Bush's favor and that he should not respond to the Democrat attacks, and this incident proves it.

People can think for themselves and the MSM is toast!

I agree. It's not too hard to make the logical step that school buses were there and under local control.

Yes they are busted out, except that this will likely not get too much coverage within the old media.
