As Michael Chernoff has said "The fault does not lie with the Federal Govt. who were prepared to act, and were in place. The fault lies with the local authorities who were not prepared to take care of their own citizens." i.e....cities in Mississippi who are not whining and crying and whose citizens are not killing each other. The damage in Louisiana is unprecedented but the extreme chaos that followed in that state in New Orleans, was avoidable if they had adequate shelters, and supplies for at least 5 days as they are supposed to have, as other cities do have - and an emergency action plan that would have controlled the criminal activity.
No one should blame the President, Federal Govt., Military or even blanket the Democrats or Republicans. But, truth is, the officials in Louisiana - no matter what political party - did not serve their people. They were not prepared, they made bad decisions, and they waited for "Big Brother Federal Govt." to help. The very day after the hurricane hit Governor admitted she did not know what to do, and the Mayor of N.O. was crying. Leadership like this, no matter what party, is despicable. Did we see the governor of New York, or the Mayor acting like babies after 9/11? Did they blame the President or the Federal Govt. like welfare recipients do? We know what leadership is, and it is not in Louisiana.
Moore's letter, as we know, has not one ounce of news or truth in it. That is the type of critique that people fall prey to....because of the emotional appeal...and leads to mistaken viewpoints. It is typical of Bush-haters who write that type of critique (lies) and then masses of uneducated people fall prey to and believe. Disgusting!
He has the identical talking points that Cindy Sheehan is spouting, although she has even less comprehension of the real facts, concepts etc. than he has. Reading her comments is like reading a 3rd grade-report.
Sickening... I want to cry
Mike Moore is the biggest sh**fa*e on the planet.
How dare they spin this for political purposes, I really want to cry.
I am just so sad
Is it a suprise to anyone what that fool would say? I wouldn't have dignified his idiotic ramblings with space on this website.
Especially don't listen to those on the left who scream 24/7 for cuts in defense and increases in entitlements like prescription drugs.
It also proves he doesn't watch the news. Every time I turn on the TV news, I see plenty of helicopters, Army, Coast Guard, etc.
Michael Moore suffers from whatever mental disease all other liberals suffer from.
Some people I work with (flaming liberals) were spouting this nonsense on Thursday. They all have the same identical talking points handed down to them by the MSM. When I point out that the state is the entity that calls out the National Guard and that it was the city's responsibility to have the city evacuated BEFORE the storm, and that fed groups were equipped & positioned to move in - they can't handle it & say, "That's not true".
They refuse to hear the truth. They don't want or have any need of it, it doesn't help further their cause.
Just keep posting stuff like this ... it will only to our advantage.
More brainless rhetoric from Burgerboy.
What did you expect from this sweathog?
Otherwise, he should stick to his Summer tour of IHOP's and let the big people deal with the hard stuff.
MOORE HAS YET TO CONTRIBUTE TO NO RELIEF...
his movie was much better than his letter, and it *sucked*.
But Socialists like Moore want Hillary Care, the ultimate Fed program!
Would his and the MSM camera's be stuck in the faces of those waiting and dying for an operation?
Hilarious!
Note to Michael Manic Moore:
You really need to follow the instructions written on the labels of those medication bottles. You also really need to make an appointment with a proctologist about dain bramage. It could be a tumor.
A dozen Bowel Burgers Au Jus for Mister Mike!
30% of residents of N.O. live in poverty BECAUSE they vote DEMOCRAT!
Michael Moore sux ( like vacuum of space) democrat donkey dic*s! What an ASSBAG!!
He's still pissed off Bush won...
