Her and her bus should take a long drive on a short pier.
Hardly an "African-American town."
In fact, since blacks made up 32.5% of the LA population in 2000, Covington is a much whiter town than the state average.
Doubtful. But Cindy, didn't you and your brigade stick around to help clean up? Oh, I see you just destroy and move on. Apparently, environmental issues are of no concern to the "mother". Typical liberals, throw your stink all over the place and then leave it to rot while you move on to your next "cause".

Over 45% have College Degrees. Poor dumb bastards.
In reality, average income in Covington is $36,000, vs $26,300 average income for the state of LA.
Covington is a middle-class white-majority town like Vacaville, CA.
She knows most of her followers won't bother with facts.
Thats funny. Is Convington an affluent town??? I could almost imagine Cindy's gang attacking a black person in Covington, trying to force help on them with cameras looming, only to see the fearful black get into a range rover and drive away.
Even the name of her newly formed group, Gold Star Mothers For Peace, or something similar, is a rip off of the real Gold Star Mothers organization which was formed years ago.
(We Do NOT need clothes at this time)
That is because they are spinning their own pants made from hemp.
What a bunch of pathetic frauds.
They originally used "Mothers" in their name but have since changed it to "Gold Star Families For Peace". The real GSM organization had a posting on their site specifically citing the difference between the two groups.
The media leaves the ditch witch in Crawford . . AND SHE FOLLOWS THEM TO THE GULF STATES?
People should hit her with all types of lawsuits, fraud, slanderous-personal injury suits just to tie up thier funds, just having to defend suits will put a crimp on their lifestyle. Have the FBI should detain them on making threats.
These people along with JJ, Sharpton, make all kinds of accusation and never back them up and keep getting away with it.
"These people along with JJ, Sharpton, make all kinds of accusation"
And all kinds of money.
>>She knows most of her followers won't bother with facts.<<
I'd say more like NONE of her follows are bothered with facts - that is what conservatives are up against.

Oops ... I'm an hour late to your party.
For the past few days I’ve been working with a group that, I guarantee you, will get direct aid to the people who need it most.
Cindy Sheehan, the brave woman who dared to challenge Mr. Bush at his summer home, has now sent her Camp Casey from in front of Bush’s ranch to the outskirts of New Orleans. The Veterans for Peace have taken all the equipment and staff of volunteers and set up camp in Covington, Louisiana, on the shores of Lake Pontchartrain. They are accepting materials and personally distributing them to those in need and have been going into New Orleans on a daily basis.
This is where we come in. We need to ship supplies to them immediately. Today they need the following:
Bottled Water (and lots of it!), baby diapers, baby wipes, baby formula, Pedialyte, baby items in general, powder, lotion, handy wipes, sterile gloves, electrolytes, LARGE cans of veggies, school supplies, paper plates, paper towels, toilet paper, and anything else to lift people’s spirits.
You can ship these items by following the instructions on VFPRoadTrips.org. Or you can deliver them there in person. The roads to Covington are open. Their address is:
Volunteer Kitchen, Food Bank and Distribution Center
Pine View Middle School
1115 West 28th Avenue Covington, LA.
70434
Here’s how to get there. You can drop them off or you can stay and participate (if you stay, you’ll be camping so bring your own tent and gear and mosquito spray).If you can’t ship these items or go there in person, then go to VFPRoadTrips.org and make an immediate donation through PayPal. Camp Casey-Covington will have immediate access to this cash and can buy the items themselves from stores that are open in Louisiana (all donations to Veterans for Peace, are tax deductible).
Each day I will post up-to-the minute information as to what is needed and the progress Camp Casey is making. Please visit MichaelMoore.com often and do what you can to help.
Many other groups are also doing good work. MoveOn.org has set up a system for people to offer rooms in their homes to the survivors.
There is no time to waste. People are suffering and dying. Each of us can do something. There is no other alternative.
Thank you in advance for your help. Tomorrow, we will take care of the other work we need to do about the ideologically hamstrung incompetents in charge.
Yours,
Michael Moore
