This thread was just mentioned on Hugh Hewitt, even mentioning the OP by name and said it was fear mongering.

I'll give you a comment. Thousands dead are being openly talked about on the news. Evidently, Hewitt needs to listen to the news..
Hugh Hewitt is an idiot. He can quote me on that. The mayor of New Orleans himself said that he believes that there are "thousands" dead in that city alone. I just saw "thousands dead" headlining MSN.com. What will Hugh do when these numbers prove themselves out?
When they get to the "epileptic hooker" part, do they call it whore-mongering?
Time will tell and when it turns out that it is true we will remind him of this thread and if, by the Grace of God, it isn't then we will have been scare-mongers and we're tough, we can take the criticism. After all, we post on FR we're pretty much flameproof.
The only comment to be made is how the news comes out in the end. Is it fear mongering to tell the truth? Hugh, sometimes guy...
This thread will be vindicated. Hugh will forget to mention that he was dead wrong.
Tell Hugh thanks for the exposure. This story needs to be told as I have spoken to people in NY and NJ who tell me that they don't consider Mississippi and Louisiana to be a real part of the U.S., only major cities really deserve attention in situations like this.
I hate to say it but I have heard this from people in Los Angeles to New York over the last 48 hours who could care less.
Saying things like "It didn't even lead off our local news...it was like the 4th story in..." or "I have a business to run and my own life to live...I don't have time to worry about a 3rd world state like Mississippi...who goes there anyway?"
Outrageous...but whatelse do you expect from the liberal cities of NY and Los Angeles?
Btw, I don't even know who he is so why would I care what he thinks?
I really don't get why Hugh is doing this. It's one thing to not find the info credible for whatever reason, but to go further and call it "fearmongering" and designed to "torture" people and that the OP was lying...unreal. What MFH posted here is NO different that what Hugh links to on blogs.
I like Hugh, by the way, but my opinion of him has gone down significantly because of this.
I am rather disappointed in Hugh. When one sees the devastation, you have to know the toll is going to be tremendous. Why Hugh thinks this is fear mongering is beyond me. I wonder, did he show equal disgust at those blaming Bush for the entire suffering of all humankind?
