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.

Damage control? Yes, IMO, from a former democrat Sen. of Louisiana, due to the daily rantings of the moonbat left(the base of Breaux's party(demos))

If you go to the link, the interview is about half way down.

I don't see it, Obama said he's going to hold congressional hearings on the racism involved in the response.

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.

My money is on Obama 100%, if anyone has a c-note they are willing to lose. You know who runs the Senate, and it's not the GOP.

I think it will quickly move from "using it as a political issue" to "trying to defend their local incompetence."

Aaron Bown (Mr Human Sominex) tried to get the sisters that Pres Bush met to bash the federal response Fri night on his CNN show, NewsNight (SNOOZENIGHT)

http://transcripts.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0509/02/asb.01.html

BROWN: Let me ask your mom a question here.

Before you met with the president today -- and our viewers are seeing that now -- before that, were you a little angry with the government and how the government had responded?

BRONWYNNE BASSIER, SURVIVOR: Now, let me just correct you. This is my sister.

BROWN: I'm sorry.

B. BASSIER: And I'm -- that's OK.

But, no, I wasn't angry at the situation, because I knew eventually they will eventually help us in some sort of way. And, like my sister said, he did reassure us that things were going to happen. And I can see that they are happening, because I am in Gautier. And every day, there's people giving us water and giving us ice and telling us that everything is going to be OK.

(nice move by Brown, mistaking the guest's sister for her MOTHER! Nothing like insulting your guest)

the allegation is that Democrats are using this as a political issue

Allegation? All I can tell these people is, Think Paul Wellstone Memorial.

As a financial guru said to Neil Cavuto this morning, "The group tasked to maintain and improve levees has blown all their money on casinos, planes, hotels, etc, and nothing has been spent on preserving the safety of its citizens."

New Orleans' catastrophe falls directly on the shoulders of those community "leaders" who squandered their civic trust, lined their pockets with the largess of the tourists, and gifted their bank accounts, REGARDLESS of their race.

The fact that all those leaders are black is secondary, but count on them to play the race card to throw up a smokescreen!

I'm 67 years old and have been voting GOP and posting here for years, I don't even read DU, but let's face it, Obama is going to have field day at the hearings.

We have to realize who's really in charge of the Senate microphone, and it's not us conservatives.

"Damage control?"

Absolutely. And you can guess who ordered it...

Doesn't it seem that the Democrats turn every tragedy into a Wellstone memorial?

I watched it live... where you could really get the full 'flaaa-va.

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

Do you mean "Osama bin … Osama … Obama"?

Ted Kennedy's "Osama bin … Osama … Obama"?


That "Osama bin … Osama … Obama"?


You made a wrong turn on your way to DU. Just make a U turn and take your first Left and keep on going. ;)

In the past Obama would have gotten away with it and I don't have much faith in hearings (esp. after the 9/11 Commission) but things are different now....thanks to talk radio, instant communication and what we are doing right now.

There is no place to hide the lies when we have the ability to expose AND disperse the truth.
