Rev. Al Sharpton (R) holds a motherless child along with Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee (L) as they visit survivors of hurricane Katrina on the floor of the Astrodome in Houston, Texas September 3, 2005. President George W. Bush ordered more troops to help evacuate and secure New Orleans on Saturday as rescuers moved thousands of desperate evacuees out of the city and shut down two huge shelters that had become the scene of murder, rape and chaos. Under fire for his government's slow response to Hurricane Katrina, which wrecked one of the world's most famous cities and may have killed thousands of people, Bush said he will send in 7,200 additional active duty troops in the next three days. < REUTERS/Richard Carson

Instead of showing up in expensive suits for photo ops

I'd be more impressed if they wore regular cloths and actually volunteered and helped the folks down there

Al Sharpton is a motherless something and it's not child.The two of them look like they are ready to fight over who gets to hold the baby for the picture.Look at Sheila grabbing at the child's leg and climbing all over Sharpton's ass.They have no shame.

the band-aid is on the child's leg

You're right! I guess Al is pointing to the injury caused by President Bush and the Republican party. That's why all these conservatives are volunteering at the Dome. It's penitence time.

They should have heralded this young man but he would have upstaged Them.

'That boy is a hero': Rescue of family is silver lining for city (Biloxi)***....''I just didn't want to see my family drown,'' said Phillip, a seventh-grader who spent Wednesday in a shelter at Biloxi Junior High, which he normally attends. ``I was scared if I didn't keep helping, somebody would die.'' ...***

I was silly to think that Sharpton and Lee might want to meet with those British students, whose lives were threatened because they were white, at the Superdome.

Rev. Al Sharpton (L) and Congresswoman Shelia Jackson Lee (C, behind Care Bare character) react to a Care Bear character working to cheer up children and other survivors of hurricane Katrina on the floor of the Astrodome in Houston, Texas September 3, 2005. President George W. Bush ordered more troops to help evacuate and secure New Orleans on Saturday as rescuers moved thousands of desperate evacuees out of the city and shut down two huge shelters that had become the scene of murder, rape and chaos.

And thanks to the nanny-statism they support, many if not most black children are fatherless.

There was a pic on yesterday's thread that left me sobbing. It was a pic of a baby being passed to the front of the line. My first thought was the hearbreak the mother faced in order to save her child, but then I got angry. This baby was being was being passed over the heads of young,able bodied men.

I don't know how to post a pic and don't have time to go through the threads that would teach me, but I will find the pic and I hope someone will show this next to the pic of JJ.

He's pointing to the bandaid on the child's leg and looks annoyed that it's not the "right" color. Ms. Lee looks like she's saying, "See. Look at my hand ... THIS is the color of bandaid that should be on this child."

I know the picture. Here it is.


A baby is passed above the crowd as people wait to leave the Superdome in New Orleans. The Superdome was meant to be a hurricane refuge, but those who sought shelter there described a lawless, squalid 'concentration camp' where two children were reportedly raped and other refugees terrorized by rioters(AFP/James Nielsen)

"wasting taxpayers money by getting a salary in Congress doing nothing except stirring up racial hatred."

I just heard an official from one of the parrishes state that so many people are pulling the race card but actually black people in NO are being saved while the parrishes are forgotten. He said that the parrishes are mostly white and they are being left to die. He said there will be many dead white people on rooftops in the suburbs.
