Help with Propaganda Spreader on another board

[Kittycat]

She's spouting the Repug message that it's solely the NOLA governor's fault for not requesting assistance sooner. She says that Bush isn't to blame in any of this.

Can I get some quick links to facts, reports, etc? They messed up in Mississippi & Alabama as well - the only early relief they saw was from the Red Cross & Local/citizen groups.

3. Show her the website

for the Department of Homeland Security.

http://www.dhs.gov/dhspublic/theme_home2.jsp

"In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security will assume primary responsibility on March 1st for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation. This will entail providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort. The new Department will also prioritize the important issue of citizen preparedness. Educating America's families on how best to prepare their homes for a disaster and tips for citizens on how to respond in a crisis will be given special attention at DHS."

8. Once Bush issued a State of Emergency on Sunday before the storm

then the National Emergency Plan went into effect. From there on out the Dept of Homeland Security/FEMA were in charge. The governor didn't have to ask for anything after that.

"In the event of a terrorist attack, natural disaster or other large-scale emergency, the Department of Homeland Security will assume primary responsibility on March 1st for ensuring that emergency response professionals are prepared for any situation. This will entail providing a coordinated, comprehensive federal response to any large-scale crisis and mounting a swift and effective recovery effort.

12. Statement on Federal Emergency Assistance for Louisiana

The President today declared an emergency exists in the State of Louisiana and ordered Federal aid to supplement state and local response efforts in the parishes located in the path of Hurricane Katrina beginning on August 26, 2005, and continuing.

The President's action authorizes the Department of Homeland Security, Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA), to coordinate all disaster relief efforts which have the purpose of alleviating the hardship and suffering caused by the emergency on the local population, and to provide appropriate assistance for required emergency measures, authorized under Title V of the Stafford Act, to save lives, protect property and public health and safety, or to lessen or avert the threat of a catastrophe in the parishes of Allen, Avoyelles, Beauregard, Bienville, Bossier, Caddo, Caldwell, Claiborne, Catahoula, Concordia, De Soto, East Baton Rouge, East Carroll, East Feliciana, Evangeline, Franklin, Grant, Jackson, LaSalle, Lincoln, Livingston, Madison, Morehouse, Natchitoches, Pointe Coupee, Ouachita, Rapides, Red River, Richland, Sabine, St. Helena, St. Landry, Tensas, Union, Vernon, Webster, West Carroll, West Feliciana, and Winn.

Specifically, FEMA is authorized to identify, mobilize, and provide at its discretion, equipment and resources necessary to alleviate the impacts of the emergency. Debris removal and emergency protective measures, including direct Federal assistance, will be provided at 75 percent Federal funding.

15. This thread is a great resource.

It's great to have these links available for the common faux news talking points.

[SammyWinstonJack]

16. How did all these freepers/kool aid drinkers get on the same page so fast?

I keep reading/hearing the same thing out of all of them. Went to the convenience store and got hit with the same damn crap.

[Kittycat]

18. I think they get emailed talking points

I'm serious. It's so bad!

[MelissaB]

21. I've been fighting some of the same talking points.

It's the mayors/governors fault.
They didn't ask for help.

Melissa obviously has an agenda--ENOUGH!!

Posted by Cookie

Melissas post are so full or errors and extreme "left wing" leaning that are so erronious. Melissa needs to check every source and NOT just what is made up and which she wishes to believe. Did she hear how the Mayor of NO let over 100 people that were staying in the Hilton (where he was operating) leave the hotel and get to the front of the line when the buses came? In front of all those poor people who had endured so much! Or how the governor didn't ask for help until AFTER this all hit? Check out everything, not just what suits your agenda. Louisiana and New Orleans, especially have a very long history of much corruption. That shouldn't be hard to research. Just be fair. Don't mean to start anything but I cannot handle misinformation!

. . .that the part of the levee that failed was an upgraded portion that Loisiana officials said was all they needed, and that President Clinton pulled the plug on all federal funding of Army Corp of Engineering on the levees in the late 90's. I surprised that your time line did not blame Bush for the Black Plauge. Why was there a mandatory evacuation of New Orleans? Because the President called the good mayor and told him that he had to make it mandatory. The mayor and governor looked like deer caught the headlights as the storm approached.

17. These people are so deluded

They will say and do ANYTHING so that Bushy is not at fault...EVER. Why are they so afraid of him not being perfect?
