Why wasn't Bush going door to door, pleading with these people in an effort to save them?
The mayor, the gov, and those who stayed have nobody to blame but them selves

They were on their own alright! That is until the rats figured out they could make political hay off the backs of the dead , dying, starving, and looting victims!

I believe Drudge got this by way of a WBT-Charlotte fill-in host named Tara Servacius (sp?). She found the article on Lexis-Nexis, and she added that the city of NO made DVDs containing the video.

OK, we've moved a half million blacks out of New Orleans. The homes they left have been destroyed. The stupid government will pay to rebuild in a hazardous area.
What will happen, once the security is guaranteed against the next level 5 hurricane, is thay many old neighborhoods will becaome gentrified. Blacks won't rebuild, they don't have to; the government is supposed to take care of them. The rebuilding will be done by Mexican who will rebuild and stay.
The helpless, passive blacks will vote as the dems tell them, the Mexicans won't. So, maybe, Katrina has flushed a filthy dem stronghold and will turn it into a much less corrupt city.

So if Ol'Crusty & Hillary gets their "9/11 STYLE COMMISSION" to investigate the fiasco I'll bet even money that the Dems/DNS and every democrat in the USA gets a bucketload of crap in their collective faces.
Which will strenghten conservatives/republicans in the 2006 elections and Hitlery goes the way of the DoDo bird.

"Attention fellow New Orleansians:
There is a Category 5 storm going to hit here in 2 days. Winds of over 145 MPH. Could flood the entire city. Gonna kill you if you stay. Get out, now. For your future safety, we are going to put all our buses in storage to protect them from the storm. If you are old, in a nursing home, crippled, infirm or unable to evacuate on your own, you will need to call a taxi or hitchhike to safe ground."
Good luck....Mayor Nagin

Imagine sending folks (including, women, children, the aged and the sick) to a place where there is no food, no water, inadequate sanitation and no security. When it was obvious that people would have to remain longer in the Dome and convention center than 18 hours the city and state had nothing to give these folks.

I believe Drudge got this by way of a WBT-Charlotte fill-in host named Tara Servacius (sp?). Tara Servatius. She's a communist/columnist for Charlotte Creative Loafing.

"New Orleans TIMES-PICAYUNE ran a story"
Do they honestly believe the majority of these folks read the article. I bet alot of these people are illiterate. I am not being sarcastic with that comment either.
The illiteracy rates in New Orleans were very high.

Thats true but newspapers telling them that cost 50 whole cents and they didn't own TV's to hear it until AFTER the hurricane so the peoples in New Orleans didn't know they were suppose to get out.

(just my opinion. Go easy on me.)
To: joholso
But the TIMES-PICAYUNE published a story on July 24, 2005 stating: City, state and federal emergency officials are preparing to give a historically blunt message: "In the event of a major hurricane, you're on your own." I guess the editorial staff doesn't read their own paper.
And I can't blame them. It a rag.

Here's my prediction. Within a few days you will see the MSM go from non-stop Bush-Bashing to, "Now is not the time to point fingers" as the evidence starts looking bad for the Rats.

"They were on their own alright! That is until the rats figured out they could make political hay off the backs of the dead , dying, starving, and looting victims!" Right on Brother!
But you forgot to mention the Race baiter's, and the Liberal Poverty Pimps as well.
Oh dear me. I forgot that they are all one in the same, aren't they.
My Bad.

Despite the fact she works for a far-far-far-left "FREE" rag, she may be the only honest journalist in Charlotte. Good work by her tonight digging this story up.
To: RTINSC
Reminds me of Reverend Johnson's statement in "Blazing Saddles":
"Now I don't have to tell you good folks what's been happening in our beloved little town. Sheriff murdered, crops burned, stores looted, people stampeded, and cattle raped. The time has come to act, and act fast. I'm leaving."
Just substitute Mayor Nagin for the good Reverend.
