As far as I know he is.
As for Kanye West, his statement is not uncharacteristic of him. He makes music and social commentary all the time.
It's only a shock to those who don't know anything about him.
No, but hysteria from the reporters can make it worse in the convention center.
And it still remains we can only do so much to rescue people. It's easy to sit here and say get it done, but that follows the assumption people aren't working as hard as possible to reach everyone.
The simple harsh truth is they chose to stay, the Governor and mayor were incompetant, and these are the consequences. We aren't superheros that can snap fingers and restore and rescue in seconds.
There are numerous reports that government agents forbid the motion. I think, in aggregate, the reports present credible evidence of that. Authorities are controlling the outflux. They are limiting personal initiative.
And when the system has that nature, bad things will happen - the authorities must believe that worse things will happen if they permit uncontrolled outflux.
With respect, I have to dasagree with your comments..Ehat we are seeing on the TV are small slices of activity on the scene...4999 people are rescued..evacuated to safety, whewre they are gettting good care and treatment, but ONE person dies 20 feet from where Shep happpens to be standing? So what story do we see over and ovr again..ad nauseum?
Excellent point
...and Geraldo said they've been there for 6 days. Not very credible.
what did Andrea Mitchell say?
Good news and bad news...I did add the Southern Baptists to this thread. However, I failed to insert a break, so the info is hanging way out there immediately following the National Black Home Educators Resource Association. mea culpa
Call me stupid. I click on the link and nothing happens other than a webpage comes up.
I got it. They're dying at the hands of Americans, too. Americans that do not care about their fellow man. Mere parasites. I've got it alright.
My nephew, the New Orleans policeman finally got a call out to his sister in Boston at 4:30 this morning. He said that he had been running all over the city chasing looters. One of his uncles my husband's sister's husband stayed in his uptown New Orleans house. As far as we know uptown New Orleans was not flooded but his phone stopped working a few days ago. My nephew has been told he is there and will check on him. I am not surprised at all that there are armed thugs rampaging through homes in the better neighborhoods. The better neighborhoods uptown are often only a few blocks away from really bad neighborhoods. Those who have been to New Orleans know this is true, unusual I guess, but the reality of New Orleans. I have not seen much reporting about what is going on in Uptown New Orleans, has anyone else? This is the University area and the area around Audubon Park.
Question my friend..Do you know whre the mayor and governor are located.are they in the city proper?
That was over the top. However, in this case, I can sympathize.
he doesn't have a dog in the fight. HE WAS around people who do. Who have NO where to go.
But go ahead and criticize. After all you are just another internet jackass on an internet forum and not actually there.
That gives you ALL THE RIGHT, RIGHT?
I think Geraldo must have found an abandoned meth lab after he got to NO. Please Fox - evacuate him and Shep and just set up a cam. I have had my tv on mute for the last 45 minutes. Think I will put some Ray Charles music on and see if I can get the cork out of a bottle of red wine. Staying with FR of course.
On the Huffington site. Is this guy a well known civil rights leader? Drudge describes him as a civil rights leader.

Shepard Smith is no saint. He admitted yesterday that he wouldn't give his water to the people who were starving because he needed it.
FNC needs to get rid of the drama queens and leave the reporting to the professionals like Steve Harrigan.
No good deed goes unpunished
Bastardi clearly stated "they did not dodge a bullet" and then he explained for the thousandth time that raising pressue by 4 mb and pulling to the east does not mean everyone should stay.
Hell, the entire thread on FR that morning would have put TWC to shame it was so scientific.
"When you reach this point, as you've described right now? Go for a walk. Go watch an engaging movie. Do a chore you've put off doing but which needs to be done.
Get those MSM and Lib-Dem stresses out of your body, and your mind. Come back, refreshed. Strengthened."
Thanks! ....great advice. I had a lot of things planned for today, and instead, I've been here reading all day and watching reports on TV...not good. Tomorrow's another day.....gettin' outta here. Have a good one!
That's it: they are in competition with each other.
