Black survivors of Hurricane Katrina said Tuesday that racism contributed to the slow disaster response, at times likening themselves in emotional congressional testimony to victims of genocide and the Holocaust.

These people are beyond pathetic. Figures that dipstick RINO Christopher Shays would be at this hearing.

Like him or not he is about the only one up there to call those idiots on what they were saying. I'm no Shays fan but on this one he was right on.

I usually can't stand to watch Shays because of his track record, but watched a few minutes of the hearings on C-SPAN, which was all I could take. A middle-aged black woman with a cloth wrapped around her head was claiming to be an eyewitness to the supposed bombing of the levee. Shays tried to find out how close she was to the place where the levee broke at the time, and she kept giving him a run-around (useless information to anyone not a resident of her block).
