Two hosts at the liberal radio network Air America are defending Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan - saying he's not wrong to suspect that white people deliberately blew up the levees in New Orleans.
"You cannot blame people for coming up with conspiracy theories," Air America host Chuck D. said, after he was asked Thursday about the paranoid pronouncement by MSNBC's Tucker Carlson.
"They look on television and see that the government is four days late in saving people [who are] supposed to be their citizens," Chuck D. explained.
Carlson gave him a second chance to denounce Farrakhan's lunatic declaration, saying, "You're a smart guy. You know that white people didn't blow up the levees to kill black people. You've gotta know that didn't happen."
But the Air America host refused to budge, insisting instead that there was a chance Farrakhan could be right.
"I can't say unless I know for sure what's the actual facts and what's actually false," the rapper-turned-talk host said.
Carlson tried a third time, telling Chuck D.: "Look, I can say for certain that it was not a white conspiracy. White people did not blow up the levee to kill black people."
Still, the radio lefty wouldn't denounce Farrakhan's poisonous rant, saying only, "I don't think it's a person at fault but I think the system needs revamping."
After failing to persuade Chuck D., the MSNBC host turned to panelist Rachel Maddow, who also hosts a show on Air America.
Asked if she believed that white people deliberately destroyed the levees, Maddow declined to render a personal judgment - and instead defended the sentiment behind the toxic hypothesis.
"Conspiracy theories don't necessarily help but you have to understand where they come from," she told Carlson. "They come from people feeling like this disaster had a real racial component. I mean, it was a majority-black city that was absolutely abandoned by the country."
On Monday, Farrakhan uncorked his ugly theory, telling a North Carolina audience: "I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
"The Great Mother Plane" crashed into the levee in the dark of the night.
another liberal and another black guy, showing hes the true racist. If I said what he said and put White where he said black and the other way around, Id be called a racist.
These people are NUTS! I bet they drive rational people away in droves. Well, assuming Err America had any "droves" of people to start with.
Sad.
We developed AIDS to kill black people; it hasn't worked.
We came up with crack to kill black people; it hasn't worked.
We made handguns cheap and plentiful to kill black people; it hasn't worked.
Just sad that we have to resort to dynamite. It's, it's . . . it's just so ham-handed.
Doom on him and his band of supporters.
Hell, man...all Airhead America employees are that delusional.
”Revamp the system” ................ tell that to Lyndon Johnson and bring back those six trillion dollars while you're at it.
Lower than low. Completely despicable.
Leftists divide and destroy. They cannot build, they cannot produce. They can only leach off of, or tear down, what someone else produces. They are termites.
When was Tucker Carlson ever "credited"?
;-)
;-)
LOL.
"leach" = "leech"
Okay, I specualte that Chuck D. blew up the levy.
CERRITOS, Ca. (FinalCall.com)—"Bravo, Bravo" was the resounding chorus that rose to the rafters of the Cerritos Center for the Performing Arts as a crowd of nearly 1,700 people cheered the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan upon completion of a spellbinding performance of "The Beethoven Violin Concerto," a work of art so complex that experts say its like walking a tight rope without a net.
Dedicated as "A Musical Tribute to Humanity," the Feb. 13 event opened World Saviours’ Day 2002 festivities. The proceeds from the concert will benefit the Muhammad University of Islam in Chicago.
Min. Farrakhan’s performance overwhelmed many in attendance who were witnessing their first classical symphony.

Apparently he plays the violin as well as he plays his followers.
If there was a plan it was done by Nagin and Blanco.
