It is also possible to see another side to the Katrina aftermath and not be racist. We (taxpayers) are about to spend 200 billion bucks on relief. At least 25% of that money is going to be spent on re-building NO and it will still be below sea level. There needs to be some very hard questions asked and if they are not then we are just going to have to do it all over again at some future date.
It's also possible to legitimately criticize the non-stop race-baiting and demagoguery of two-legged vermin such as Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and Cynthia McKinney without being a racist, as well... or, rather, it used to be, on these boards. After having my comment that Al Sharpton's shameless race-pimping, post-Katrina, rendered him nothing more than an oxygen thief inexplicably excised from the thread in question: such a simple, straightforward baseline guarantee is no longer quite the sure thing it once was, sadly.
I see a great deal of sanctimonious, self-satisfied chest-thumping and strutting about on this thread by the newly (self-)appointed P.C. police hereabouts, about how everyone who had comments excised from said thread were/are "Stormfronters," "knuckledraggers" and the like. I'd be overjoyed if any one of these self-designated paragons of intellect and virtue could spell out for me, please, pretty please, precisely WHY it is now considered an act of unconscionable racism -- on a conservative message board, no less! -- to wish ill upon one of this country's most notorious anti-Semites and all-around racial jihadists, as a direct response to his attempting to sow racial discord in a naked attempt at securing more power within the Democratic Party.
If they can, I mean.
Which -- quite frankly -- they can't.
"Stormfronters." Pshhh. Please.
I mean: please.
