OK, I'll meet you halfway Lou Dobbs. It wasn't about race

[bribri16]

ALONE.. It was race/economic level AND incompetence of our government's leaders (and that includes the President).

1. Don't forget the Partisan Angle those people voted Democratic

[napi21]

2. I agree with that! I happen to place more impact on incometennce!

The one stament that no one can refute is the US Gov't isn't capable of efficiently or effectively handling a big emergency, no matter what it's cause!

3. "Squeaky wheel gets the grease" and nothing squeaks louder than money.

Of course the "Haves and Have Mores" constitute *'s base and he naturally took care of his base before letting a few crumbs fall down to the rest of the People.

4. F*ck that! I was Class Warfare... Racial and Economic!

Lou is just tired of his conscience bothering him over those big tax cuts he got from Bush! He wants to find a reason to feel better,and is railing against his better angels.

Tough nuts, Lou! We need to call this what it IS and what it WAS: Class Warfare of the most wanton kind. Face it -- after this you know we live in a racist and classist country.

DO NOT ALLOW ANYONE TO SOFTEN, DEMEAN, LESSEN, OR BELITTLE THAT HAS HAPPENED. WE OWE TO THOSE WHO DIED NOT TO LET THE GOVERNMENT, THE MEDIA, OR ANYONE RESPONSIBLE OFF THE HOOK FOR THIS. IF THEY CAN'T SLEEP AT NIGHT, ALL THE BETTER. DO NOT ALLOW THEM TO ASSUAGE THEIR GUILT ON THE BACKS OF THE DEAD. THEY DIED FOR GREED, THEIR ECONOMIC STATUS, AND BECAUSE (salute to Kanye West!) -- BUSH DOESN'T LIKE BLACK PEOPLE. NONE OF THE BUSHIES LIKE BLACK PEOPLE.

5. Equal opportunity hatred

of all who are poor. Race not a factor except that a preponderance of the poor in NO who were abandoned happened to be Black.
