Why is it that Barbara Bush's comment about how its better for Blacks in Texas and it make news all over but Wolf Blitzer can say "they are so black." and it not register at all.

Why is that?

If this is a re-post forgive me.

        From CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, Thursday, September 1, 2005, covering the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina: (audiotape on file, emphasis mine) BLITZER: "You simply get chills every time you see these poor individuals, as Jack Cafferty just pointed out, so tragically, so many of these people, almost all of them that we see, are so poor and they are so black, and this is going to raise lots of questions for people who are watching this story unfold." "And they are so black"?? What is that supposed to mean? Can you imagine if Bill O'Reilly or Sean...

Because he is a liberal pouring liberal pity on blacks for being "so black" a/k/a "so different than the tokens they have at Martha's Vineyard each summer."

If any liberal asks me about Barbara Bush I'm just going to tell him/her to get out of my face until Wolf Blitzer apologizes. I'm tired of this double standard and Republicans in general, myself included, need to stop running for cover everytime any race issue comes up.

How can one tell by watching a TV monitor how poor someone is? Once a few years ago my roommate was at the ATM behind a "homeless" looking guy. He went off and left his receipt in the machine, it indicated he had over $25,000 in that account.

Wolf's comment was the kick-off for a planned race card attack by the Left.

The real answer to your question is that nobody knows - they don't watch CNN any more!

"They are so black!"

Even Bush-hating Howard Stern was having a howling good time with this Blitzer quote this morning.

For an example of how completely and utterly insane the left has gotten, check out this big happening thread on DU:

BREAKING: Bush banning all media from New Orleans

The fact that they can turn on any number of cable television news stations to prove this unsourced rumor false has dissuaded none of them from embracing it as true.

Once again, for about the millionth time this month, they are threatening violent revolution at last!! They just have to figure out how to go about obtaining the necessary guns and testosterone for the coming battle.

BB is right. As the whole world has now found out. TEXANS will do the job, whatever it is and worry about the red tape later. LA was a typical corrupt DUM run state. If someone wants to blame someone or refer to them as racist. ASK why the LA Gov, (including NO) Sent out hurricane info stating that these poor people should it a full meal before the hurricane hit. and if they came to a shelter to bring 4 days of water and food WITH THEM. AND specifically stated they were on their own.

Oh yeah OPRAH, JESSE PIMP, etc etc, it's Bush's fault ....MY A**.

And if anyone is interested When Texans do the heavy lifting, you don't have to see GROWN men (Louisiana officials)whining and crying on national tv about how helpless they are. WHY THE HELL WERE THOSE HUNDREDS OF SCHOOL BUSES LEFT IN THAT YARD TO BE FLOODED WHEN THESE IDIOT DUMS COULD HAVE GOT THOUSANDS MORE OUT?

I just saved that thread if anybody needs it.

I assume they will delete that thread pretty soon, once they realize that, once again, they have been had.

They are the most gullible morons I've ever seen gathered in one place.
