the media has been justifying the looter behavior all week, followed by the Congressional black caucus....why would we expect any different from Rev Al??

Al is a crackpot. Can he SERIOUSLY think that the general population (taxpayers) are SO stupid as to believe his idiotic claims?


Who's the bigger dope, Al or Jesse....with Jesse's remark yesterday about "carcinogens".

These two should team up on the Comedy Channel.

My sympathy goes out to the people in other parts of LA, and in Mississippi and Alabama. But the attitude of so many in NO irks me to no end.

Yeah, maybe Al can explain why all of the angry taxpayers in Biloxi and Gulfport are "expressing" their anger.

The left continues it's all-out campaign to marginalize itself.

Katrina is the ultimate undoing of the left and MSM's last remianing shreds of credibility, imo, and FR and many others online have greatly assisted that valiant and noble cause in its furtherance.

BTW everyone in Louisiana knew that Edwin Edwards was corrupt when they elected him over David Duke...

"Vote for the crook," the bumper stickers read.

What may not pass muster with the locals will be forgotten by the time they can catch up on what the national media had to say.

The big lie works when those are being lied to (America at large and the rest of the world) don't know the circumstances that contributed to this tragedy.

Revs Jack@$$ and $harpton are playing with one card - the RACE CARD." ...which they continually play as a "get out of jail free" card because they seem utterly incapable of admitting that anyone of certain ethnicity can ever do anything wrong.

Will John Edwards enter the fray soon to call for a class action lawsuit?

Will he adopt a regional dialect when he tells us what the poor deceased was thinking?

Shucks, I didn't know you had to pay taxes on the wages you do for work performed in prison or jail. I guess I learn something new every day.

much of the unrest took place while the "pharaoh diddled in his suburban Rome in Crawford, Texas."

Sharpton, you moron, the Pharaohs were Egyptian, not Roman....too bad you slept through history class....

WELL, why didn't you say so.

I am an angry Taxpayer.
I am heading out the door right now to Circuit City to loot at new Laptop as an expression of my Civil Disobedience and right as an angry taxpayer.

Not a bad idea. I could use a new car...

So looters are taxpayers? I'd bet they consume far more gov't services than they pay for.

"I agree that tax money didn't go where it should have. Blame rotten to the core DemocRATS who stole it."

A while ago that great sage Geraldo Rivera referred to New Orleans as a "toxic cesspool." Hey, it was that BEFORE the hurricane hit!

This is the price for LBJ's "Great Society." Why bother to do anything when the government will do everything for you, including pick your pocket? Why help yourself? There will always be food stamps, welfare checks, and housing projects.

It would appear that a large number of our African-American citizens have swapped one set of Massas for another set of Massas. The new Massas are the Democrat bigwigs and some so-called "leaders" in the African-American community. Did you ever notice the reaction when an African-American leaves the Democrat plantation? "Black leaders" immediately start calling them every name in the book. Colin Powell and Condoleezza Rice have had to endure abuse not from white people, but from race pimps who are working with their Democrat Massas to keep all the black people in line. Hey, folks! Get off your duffs and help yourselves! One day you might also get off the Democrat plantation!

Sorry for the rant. I'm just fed up with the whining and Bush-bashing.

O'Reilly was at his best yesterday!!

By that I mean he stood for no excuses, no blame game, went for the truth and I hope he continues on this same road.

If they DID pay taxes (and the truly poor do not) then WHO was in charge of the taxes they paid? Look at the mayor and the governor, Al

Whatya wanna bet the good reverend is not dead wrong?

My guess is that many of the looters have been mooching off the system their whole lives one way or another.
