FOXNEWS: Mayor Nagin intervened to help tourists escape New Orleans before people in Superdome
Fox News - O'Reilly | September 2, 2005 | nwrep

Posted on 09/02/2005 8:44:35 PM PDT by nwrep

Shepard Smith eyewitness report on O'Reilly: Mayor Ray Nagin intervened today to help tourists (many foreigners) staying at the upscale W hotel downtown escape New Orleans ahead of many of the people in the Superdomw. Tourists were shipped in buses to the Superdome and other connecting buses took them to safety.

Black Mayor Ray Nagin favors "W" tourists. Imagine that headline after all the racist garbage thrown at the President.

LOLOL.....I heard that. I think it was Eddie Hayes who made the comment. Police Commission Timoney of Miami was trying to be diplomatic!

Also may not want the thugs to mix in to get to points beyond.

One can hope they are being neutralized tonight so that the surviving people can be rescued, quarantined and vaccinated tomorrow. This may be why pets were not allowed to leave. What if they ate **censored** parts ?

Lots of conclusions on here without facts.

Man I thought I was at DU for a moment.

It's like the edgy movie hero who plays by his own rules. That's how Americans view things like this. They want Bush to play the part of the hero. They don't care about paperwork or laws

Exactly. Most of these disaster plans I'm hearing sound like interviews with children on how to end *war*.

Their lives were in dnager. They also had to be evacuated, so I am not sure what the beef is. It is easier to evacuate people in groups from one local. They were in the hotel, they all had to leave.

Should they have to wait till last for rescue because they are white, or tourists or not poor? I don't get all this race and class crap going on.

I just heard from Shep, who's reporting is usually fairly accurate say that a checkpoint run by feds has been set up on the interstate at one of the only ways out of NO and they are turning refugees back into the city.

He didn't say "Feds" set it up: he said "government." We don't know who's idea it was.

racial paybacks

huh?

This would occur in any similar situation, the fact that it is blacks and whites or Brits is irrelevant

the Mississippi coastal counties are 85% cracker

is it happening there?

no need to try to equivocate...the folks doing the depraved stuff don't merit relativism which actually in my view has created the culture in this nation which has allowed this to thrive....for too damn long.

Again...where are the angry white looters in Mississippi?

actually....Nagin was late on the mandatory evac and he has had little face time

the one who really dropped the ball was the CryGovernor.

Nagin should show up to the Convention Center. He would be lynched by his constituents.

I'd buy that for a dollar!

I think I would have tried to walk and swim my way out of New Orleans before I would have spent 10 minutes inside that Superdome.

If our govt. has set up a checkpoint and is not allowing people OF ANY STRIPE, COLOR, OR STATUS TO WALK OUT OF NO AT THIS OR ANY OTHER TIME I AM FOR FINDING THE AUTHOR OF THIS ORDER AND PERSONALLY AERATING HIS A$$ FROM HEAD TO TOE.

I'm not sure, but didn't they declare martial law? There's so much criminal activity down there, the other areas around the damaged sites are concerned the criminals will spread their destruction to near by areas. Maybe it's part of the martial law thing?
