democrat, left wing poltical damage control on CNN?
CNN Transcripts ^ | 9/03/05 | CNN, Miles O'Brien, John Breax

Posted on 09/03/2005 11:23:55 AM PDT by Dane

M. O'BRIEN: Let me ask you this, though. Let's flip this around for a moment. This is kind of turning in, I'm seeing shreds of this on the web and on the blogs of this being the allegation is that Democrats are using this as a political issue. What to you say to that?

BREAUX: I've heard the racial implications. I would categorically reject that. Our good Mayor Ray Nagin is African- American and almost all the city council is African-American. The sheriff is African-American. The areas south of New Orleans, Plaquemine and St. Bernard Parishes are predominantly white and the rescue efforts down there were certainly no faster. If anything, they were slower down there.

Obama can't simply "hold hearings" unless he is planning to run off to the storage room and hold mock hearing like Conyers did over the DSM.

" CNN beens pumping their guests to lay blame on Bush since the looting started. Their favorite boy is Clintons, FEMA Director"


It is so transparent.

Accountability?

The only question I really have is "Did the Mayor offer his people free busses out of harm's way and did the people then refuse to leave?

The Mayor and the weepy Govenor should have forced the issue of evacuation, instead of having a beer & ordering extra body bags.

Now the twist is that it's Bushes fault and now the fault of the entire white race because the Spanish used the Port of Orleans to dock their slave ships for 200 years (Jezzies rant.)

Free busses and Freebie hand-outs on the busses could have lured the 'I ain't going nowhere crowd' out of town.

"Time to expose the race pimps and their Liberal benefactors"

That time is near.

I've been waiting for someone to say this.

Oh, if only the truth will come out about all the
corruption in that state and city.

Hope springs eternal! LOL

There will be heavy damage to the GOP because of their constant failure to respond to the rhetoric on the senate floor, Obama is revered by the left and MODERATES in the country, he got almost 80% of the vote in his first senate run.

Do you think there will be a RINO willing to take him on the Senate floor?

You can personally attack me Mr. Mason, but I'm as conservative as they come and I'm standing by my claim, in a month when this comes to the Senate, there will be not one RINO standing up to Obama. If you think there is one, let me know who.

Miles O'Brien can pull his head out of his rectum and make the observation about New Orleans, Detroit and Atlanta and the District of Columbia and maybe, just maybe, conclude that there is a different standard of corruption and incompetence in the administration of these cities. It's undeniable.

Now the RINOs are going to get their teeth kicked in while the entire world is watching, and Obama will wipe the floor with the RINOs.

What a joke! You have no clue how these disaster situations are suppose to work. First come Local (dem problem), then State (dem problem), the and only then the Feds.

Yes, Please let the hearings begin!

Its going to get real quiet real soon once the left figures out exactly what a congressional hearing is going to expose. Why do you think the Republicans are agreeing so soon to holding to hearings? LOL!

I get what you were saying. Obama is looked at as the second coming by MSM and very few pubbies are willing to take him on.

Well senator, do you see any parallels between the governance failure in LA and the African governance of Zimbabwe?

OMG! I'm gonna have a heart attack with these LYING SOB clymers(I have to remember to keep away from these dirt trash)!! CNN were the only station that stuck to the Congressional Black Caucus when the rest, YES even MsNBC, tuned out because it was getting uncomfortable when the CBC members started spewing their venomous racial "IT'S BECAUSE WERE BLACK" blah, blah, blah, rantings! CNN were MORE then happy to obliged them with the WHOLE coverage! Now you might ask why I stay on CNN? Someone had to keep an eye on those "WOE IS ME BECAUSE I'M BLACK" crowd!! These people do such a disservice to their community! IT is SO freakin SAD!

I kind of agree with you, wrath. The demonrats get most of the face time and support. Let's face it, there are still 59+ million moonbats out there.

Dane, I got his message and you would have too if you could only force yourself to think about what the poster is trying to say instead of looking for any opportunity to be insulting and arrogant.

The poster alludes to the fact that it will be the local Democtratic officials that will ultimately get their just deserved blame in this disaster/fiasco. I disagree, the RATS will use this 24/7 for political gains, now that Obama said on local Chicago radio that he will demand Senate hearings on this, it will become a massacre of the RINOs in the Senate. If anyone on this board thinks Senate hearings on this will be skewed in favor of the GOP and will reveal the truth, they are sadly mistaken.

It may very well turn into a global pounding of the GOP.

I'm sure there will be a few RINOs (Hagel, who called Cindy Sheehan to offer his support and then tried to deny it once he was busted, immediately comes to mind) who will assume their normal fetal position in front of the media, but I think the rest of them will realize that if they let President Bush go down over this, they'll all go down with him.

Check post #8, directly above yours. If Osama Obama wants to make a big racial stink about this, all we need to say is "Hmmmm, Senator, how much of the squeeze left over after the Levee District went on it's spending spree wound up in the pockets of you and your cronies? Maybe we should investigate."

And this one is probably just barely scratching the surface. The mix of the democrat party, the unions and the corruption that is the Louisiana political machine has been an open running sore on the body politic for decades. If they really want to let us rip that scab off, we'll find plenty under it.
