[melv]

it is absolutely heart breaking..

CNN

[rodeodance]

1. "frankly, they were told to leave" (Fox newscaster this am).

[SalmonChantedEvening]

8. Already tapdancing on their bodies.

Sickening people :puke:

[Strelnikov_]

22. Yep. To The Reich-Wing Anyone Without An Expedition, Yukon

or equal in the garage in which to flee did not properly plan.

[Walt Starr]

25. Frankly, this guy and his family had no money to use to leave

Fuckingassholes at Faux.

Faux has bassically taken the position that if you're too poor to evacuate when told to evacute, you deserve to die.

Faux and the Reichwing have determined that poverty is now a crime punishable by death.

[PA Democrat]

42. CNN's Daryn Kagan, Rush Limbaugh's girlfriend

expressed similar disdain for people who were being airlifted off of rooftops.

Nice to see that SOME people are so morally superior that they have never made a wrong decision, isn't it? Let alone consider that perhaps, these people were actually unable to evacuate for some reason.

[Walt Starr]

47. Yep, she's making poverty into the new "immorality".

That fucking bitch.

[havocmom]

48. Hey, FAUX knows the poor do not consume much, so they don't support

their advertisers... FAUX policy: Who needs 'em if they don't shop?

[nini]

40. FUCK THEM

those over paid pompous pieces of shit have no idea what it's like to struggle and have no options in a situation like that. FUCK THEM and the greedy evil empire they pimp day after day.

That man is more common in this country than their country clubbing elite selfish pieces of shit that dominate the world.

This country is dead when someone can say something like that while supposedly 'reporting' the news. This is what we've become folks... a selfish evil country that allows bastards from hell to get on TV and spew shit like that .



That man broke my heart and to hear a reaction like that makes me sick.


:cry:

[rateyes]

43. Frankly, that Fox Newscaster,,

can plant his rosy red lips on my rosy red ass.

On edit: Any person who can see that and not be heart-broken, not feel empathy, and say something like that...has NO SOUL. Self-centered bastard.

[lectrobyte]

44. If that doesn't move you, then you are not human. Fuck Fox News.

[Modem Butterfly]

2. I saw that this AM on CNN

Misery enough to go around.

And then some.

[ElsewheresDaughter]

3. oh dear god

[melv]

6. i haven't stopped crying yet

that poor man and his children! The reporter was choked up too. I kept wishing she would just hug him.

[malta blue]

4. had me in tears at 4am

I saw this right when I woke up for work. I'm surprised I actually made it out after seeing this. My heart is broken for these people.

[SoCalDem]

5. When they interviewd that man yesterday they included his name

Now he is just referred to as "a man".. That bothers me because when you look at other interviews, the person's NAME is included, and often where they lived or worked..

This poor guy is just now "a man".. subtle (or not so subtle) classism-racism..:(

[wli]

23. psychological technique to reduce sympathy n/t

[Ilsa]

28. WIfe's name is Tonette. Here's a BBC link.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/americas/4197200.stm

[Mika]

7. I saw it. My staff and I broke down crying.

Just heartbreaking.

[jim3775]

9. BBC has shown the video a few times

They played the entire clip, the reporter interviewing the man was crying by the end of it.

[lonestarnot]

10. Saw it this morning.... can barely stand it!

:cry:

[cbear70]

11. still crying

saw him this morning on abc and then again on cnn... how incredibly tragic. my heart to all these people... so heartbreaking.

[melv]

12. and they say more water is pouring

into the city. my heart is breaking for these people.

[tnlefty]

18. I saw it on abc this morning and it is gutwrenching.

The gentleman looked absolutely stunned. I heard the reporter ask him where he was going or something like that and I heard part of his response 'lady, I have no where to go. I have no house.' I think that he mentioned his wife again, but I'd already lost it by then so I can't be too sure. :cry:

[WindRavenX]

13. fuck, I should not have watched that

:cry: :cry: :cry:

[Midlodemocrat]

16. I just watched it, too.

Absolutely heartbreaking.

[charlie]

14. Goddamn

just... goddamn...

[MelissaB]

15. ditto...

[rasputin1952]

17. Those kids!....

:cry:

Some people had no where to go, nor the means to get anywhere if they could have left...this is heartbreaking.....:cry:

[Dawgs]

19. I saw that this morning, the reporters were all crying...

It's a very sad day for this country.

[derby378]

20. You could hear the anchor choking back tears

Poor Harvey. I hope to God they find his wife, one way or the other.

Her last words demonstrated the kind of courage I only see in women. Cindy Sheehan exhibited the same thing down in Crawford.

[Roland99]

21. Saw that on ABC's Good Morning America

Anyone see ABC's Good Morning America this morning? A reporter interviewed a man in MS (who was holding a small child) who said he and his family were in the attic when the house "split in half". He was holding his wife's hand and he said she told him he couldn't hang on and to take care of the kids. He can't find her and was just beside himself in tears. The woman reporter started crying and asked the guy for his wife's name so it could be broadcast for help.

Then they cut to Robin Roberts who is from that area and she broke down on the air when she started talking of finding her family safe.

[Ilsa]

24. I saw that and started crying. The reporter was crying too.

What a heartbreaking thing. ANd her last words were for her children.

[Hobarticus]

26. Good God...

Please, help if you can. Red Cross, whatever.

[Katidid]

27. I am so oo oo angry, sick and heartbroken ...

Where is our President? hiding just like he did during the Tsunami, but this time he is at a "resort and country club" taking about his wonderful 'prescription drug plan' and 'social security'.

Where are our Congress people? Where is the "compassion"?

Everything is so FUBAR!

[cbear70]

29. agreed

Where the hell is he?

[Clark2008]

33. He's either vacationing or out there selling snake oil

What a creep.

[Pithy Cherub]

37. No he's out here at the 5 star Coronado Resort

in San Diego.FUNDRAISING :spank: him, no FUCK him!

[Gormy Cuss]

46. I dare the media to lead with that story.

All the news networks should mention how W danced while Katrina raged.
I nearly threw my shoe at the TV yesterday when I saw his pompous cheerleading Medicare drug 'benefit' speech, where mention of the hurricane was a minor aside to his big message. If he had any presidential bearing at all he would have stayed in Crawford for the short hop over to the hurricane zone today, but then W does have a history of fleeing from 'hard work.'

[Fenris]

30. Wow

:cry:

[Not_Giving_Up]

31. I sw that in the wee hours of this morning

It is heartbreaking.

[WilliamPitt]

32. Jesus

That reporter was destroyed.

[Taverner]

34. Not going to click on that link

Sorry...I just cant do that to myself

[JimmyJazz]

36. good choice.

[JohnyCanuck]

38. Me neither n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

35. What happened? I can't see the video

[charlie]

39. Weeping man stopped on the street

recounting how his house split in two, and his wife's last words before he lost his grip on her. He and his kids are destitute and Mom's likely dead.

[GreenPartyVoter]

45. I was afraid of that. :^(

[charlie]

50. Probably just as well you couldn't see it

The man's distress is almost unbearable. Even the reporter was choking up. She got him to name his wife so she could be located, but both knew it was futile. He was just so helpless :(

[GreenPartyVoter]

53. I remember a similar situation after the Tsunami, but it was an older

couple with no small kids. Even so, the heartbreak is no less.

[phusion]

41. "I'm lost"

damn.

:(

[ronnykmarshall]

49. Even the reporter was choking up.

That is such a tragic story.

[Stinky The Clown]

51. There are no words .... none ....... just tears

That is an incedible snippet of video. I can't recall a more personal and heartbreaking thing I've seen. Raw emotion and the frightful pain of loss.

I can NOT imagine that tableau playing out with my wife ..... I would be suicidal.

[pepperbear]

52. sorry I have no way to view this

what is the gist of it please?

[melv]

54. You can still find it on CNN

go to cnn, click on one of the "Watch" video links. then click on "Browse U.S. Videos" which will pull up a list of video clips. It is the one titled "Heartache for a hurricane victim."

[DearAbby]

55. I saw this last night and weeped, what terror and anguish this man went

through, and countless other stories we will never hear.

[redqueen]

56. That poor family...

Fuck those vicious bastards at Faux... fuck them all. But for those few with that evil organization with a shred of a soul left... GOD BLESS YOU!
