"Please point me to one person on this thread, one Freeper, who, in your words, "wants", there to be thousands of deaths?
...and then let me know how you determinded so clearly what was in their heart?"
When someone questioned MFH's info early on, the hostile replies he got was downright amazing. If that;s not WANTING an unconfirmed rumor to be true, what is?
It's not about wanting an unconfirmed rumor to be true. It's about wanting people like you to use some of the wattage in your head to realize that the MSM is not giving the full story if they were stuck on the line that only hundreds had perished. It seemed painfully obviously to most FReepers except for the few who've been acting like gigantic asses parsing words and calling out MFH's integrity. But aside from that, maybe the issue isn't a few FReepers relishing the destruction, but a few FReepers living in DENIAL of the OBVIOUS.
The attacks on MFH were unwarranted. He brought us information when most people have none.
You are such a bald faced liar.
MFH's info wasn't questioned...it was attacked, impugned, discounted, slandered, and everything else accept taken in manner is was explicitly given.
We knew it couldn't be confirmed, but that wasn't good enough for some. They had to shoot the messenger. What they weren't counting on was that messenger has more ass than they had teeth.
There's a reason we pay attention to seniority around here.
Come on...you know that's not going to hold up as a reason to accuse others of wanting to see thousands dead. Some here know MFH and will defend the person they know. Other's are extrapolating what is fairly obvious from the wide-spread destrruction and the comments of officials and will defend their opinions in that regard...there are a number of reasons for people to defend the story other than they want to see thousands dead.
Such a statement, and the reasons you cite, are much more unlikely than the statements made by MHF's friend, particularly in light of what the mayor of New Orleans has said this afternoon.
Sorry...but I am not buying the line of reasoning you cite here at all...and that's okay. We are each entitled to our opinion.
