You know where to find Rush.
Can you guys beleive this crapola that O'Reilly is spewing???
I think he is auditioning for CBS.
He should stick to talking dirty on the phone to his staff ...I have little respect for this pompous egomaniac.
Homeland Security Department was planned 5 years in advance of 9/11. 9/11 was the excuse to implement it.
Wouldn't expect anything less from that loser.
Absolutely right!
Neither FEMA, nor the Red Cross, nor the Salvation Army, nor the US Army are first responders.
During the first 48-72 hours after a disaster, the first responders are local officials and citizens.
The people need to understand this.---And, make sure their local officials are ready.
Why has nobody in the media shown this plan on the air??
YaYa, did you type that right???
The counties in the Detroit area are send Sheriff Deputies down to NO, and they (NO Officers) are getting R&R now?
What are the ones that looted a WalMart?
thank you for this thread.
He was horrible last night I agree. He isn't my favorite to begin with but last night he sunk to an all new low in my opinion.
Then, I understand, Shep, the media darling, went on the David Letterman show. Shep is trying to be the new Dan Rather, building his rep on a hurricane.
O'Reilly has "Gone Hollywood."
O'Reilly is tabloid. Shallow and egotistical. Total waste of time. Gets his facts right as often as a blind acorn finds a squirrel.
Why?? What did he say or do??
Rush talking about the flooded school buses now.
Hi Fawn,
No don't get me wrong, I agree 100%. FEMA is NOT a first responder agency. Like anyone preped for major earthquake knows, you should be ready to take care of yourself for a few days after a major disaster until FEMA gets to the destroyed area en masse. I meant that it's ironic that the liberals who are now saying that FEMA worked better before it was folded under the authority of Homeland Security, now seem to conveniently forget it was all of THEM, the LIBERALS, who demanded the Bush do that very thing, and follow the recommendation of the 9-11 Commission. They got their way, and now they're griping about it. Typical.
Bottom line is, this disaster in new Orleans is the fault of ray nagin, kathleen blanco, and their local and State governments. They did little before the hurricane hit, and nothing afterwards. The federal government has been forced to do EVERYTHING, with NO substantive help from the New Orleans and Louisiana governments (democrats all BTW), instead of them doing things before and after, until the feds can move in a couple days afterwards, the way it's supposed to be. Very irritating. Especially since the liberal media knows this too, but they're deliberately NOT reporting that easily proven fact.
A contingent of New York police are on the way to New Orleans as well. (There are probably more coming from other cities, we just aren't hearing about it.)
There's a lot of good stuff going on you just accidently hear about. For instance: Athens, GA has accepted 60 cats from New Orleans, to be adopted. Same going on in Birmingham.
Shep might not even be here today had Katrina been the Cat 5 direct hit on N.O. that it was originally forecast to be.
Rush now mentioning the busses!!!!
