Did Blanco attempt genocide at Superdome?

None of this excuses your puking up the race card on a public forum like this. This is exactly the sort of nonsense the leftists have been throwing at The President, and for which some of us have been vigorously condemning them.

Well said. While Blanco is probably incompetent, it does conservatives no good to wallow around in the mud using Jesse Jackson-type histrionics.

Good gad. They've got a cat 5/4 coming at them and they're worried about litigation? Something else to thank the Dems and the freaking trial lawyers for. I think the staffers who bailed on those folks should be brought up on charges.

[PigRigger]

This is just as bad as (or worse) "It's Bush's Fault".....

She may be ignorant, naive, and one who puts politics above her constituents safety...but she is NOT a practitioner of Genocide....Irresponsible Journalism IMHO...

[mhking]

If the locals didn't enact their own action plan to get those elderly out and instead left them to die, what's that called?

Murder.

And I ask again, did Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin intend to kill those people?

Regardless, those deaths are on their hands, and no amount of moonbat screaming will change that.

[DirtyHarryY2K]

Another question... NBC's Brian Williams and crew from the NBC nightly news spent the night in the superdome, ( the mayor orderd all the "poor" folks into the superdome) shortly afterward the next day or so he reported "conditions deteriorating rapidly here in the superdome".... Why didn't he jump up and down like a hyena with his ass on fire and demand the mayor do something??

And I ask again, did Kathleen Blanco and Ray Nagin intend to kill those people?

Two words: negligent homicide.

Some speculation.....

Raymond Blanco was forced from the shadows last week when Gov. Mike Foster asserted that he is a driving force behind his wife's political life and "would be the most powerful man in the state" if she is elected.

Mayor Nagin actually said in a press conference before the hurricane that he had to check with his lawyers before calling for a mandatory evacuation!!!

#$#@!#

Earth to the nation: You get what you vote for.

[TaxRelief]

Why would she do this?

Was she protecting something/someone on the west side of New Orleans?

EMTs from CA share their experience in NO. (Take it with a grain of salt: They're shop stewards aka organized labor junkies.)

[mewzilla]

BTW, which lawyers do you suppose? Nagin's own personal lawyers, the city's lawyers, or both? Inquiring minds want to know, especially if Nagin's using muni legal help for personal work.

[Montfort]

And her name means "white" so if she were a Republican it would be an open-and-shut case.

[dljordan]

Why? They are her constituents. Politicians don't kill off voters unless they've got replacements waiting in the wings.

"Was Kathleen Blanco's goal the death of as many of those in the Superdome as possible?"

This kind of comment just makes a person sound like a blithering idiot.

"Why would she do this?

That's what I want to know."

Some will be quick to assume she did everything she did for a reason, in this case; perhaps to cause an even greater catastrophe, and then blame Bush.

I, on the other hand cannot credit any dimwitted democrat with that much intelligence. Rather, I think she is stupid and incompetent, therefore almost every move she made is wrong simply because of who made it.

"In one case, all but one nurse evacuated and left the patients on their own! Truly tragic!"

That's not tragic. That's sinful, disgusting, barbaric, murderous, heinous.

This is tragic... I was six years old, playing at a friend's house when I heard my Dad's voice. I looked up and there he was on national television, the first deputy sheriff on the scene at the following disaster. Have we come such a little distance in 42 years? I don't think so. What we have today is a classic definition of malfeasance \mal-FEE-zuhn(t)s\, noun:
Wrongdoing, misconduct, or misbehavior, especially by a public official.

Title: A Description of Organizational Activities In the Fitchville, Ohio Nursing Home Fire

Description: In the early morning hours of Saturday, November 23, 1963, a fire completely obliterated the Golden Age Nursing Home in Fitchville, Ohio, killed 63 patients and routed 21 others plus a night staff of three attendants. Four firemen were injured in fighting the blaze. Only one other nursing home fire in the history of the country resulted in more victims. In terms of its spatial impact, the event clearly was not a community disaster. Still, it seemed to the Disaster Research Center that at least on a descriptive level something could be learned in this situation about: I. Disaster responses in an institutional setting; and 2. Organizational reactions to disasters in a non-urban area. However, the basic purpose of the field trip was to give members of the DRC staff further experience in an actual disaster situation. Thus, the description below is the by-product of a training mission and should be treated as such. On the afternoon of the fire, two research assistants of the DRC arrived in the area to observe the activities of organizations in this crisis. After visiting the site of the fire Saturday evening, they spent Sunday informally interviewing about a dozen individuals associated with the disaster involved agencies. An attempt was made to interview personnel in each principle organization that participated in the emergency operations. Among those members of the local sheriff’s department, State Highway Patrol, and Salvation Army, as well as volunteer firemen.
