2. The American Red Cross (turned back by Louisiana officials)

Now, I don't know about you, but to me this looks like a deliberate plan, NOT incompetence.
The MSM is killing any vestiges of Credibility they have left. The fact that the NY Times invented a news story with Gerlado Rivera and blatantly lied about it is amazing. Gerlado is going to sue for Malice. They have had an opportunity to correct the story and their Editors refuse to do so. Maureen I am a Nag Dowd who called Cindy Sheehan "Mother Sheehan" (Barf Alert) would not post her other gems of comments. Lynne Stewart convicted Terrorist sympathizer is a buddy of Sheehan's. This is more evidence of the corruption and Advocacy Journalism practice by the empty suits in the MSM.
This is why I no longer watch the garbage and propaganda they put out. They are too stupid to realize we can figure it out. Dumbells are still living in the 70s. And the Academia idiots are part of the propaganda machine as well.
My plea to those who want balance. Cut off the money to the Academia. Stop advertising with media who is trying to wreck the country. And stop funding the Asshats in Hollyweird.
Why did Jane Fonda stop her Bus campaign? Answer somebody told her if you ever want to make a movie again that you want the public to pay to see better stop the hate America Road Trip or you are finished as a Box Office draw. It is really stupid to crap all over your customers.
Kayne West if that is his name could care less what Whites think. They are not his primary customers anyway. He wins Brownie points with the Far Left Artistic crowd who only put the bong down long enough to do a Press conference or sound bite. If they shut off the Dank supply to Hollyweird the place would close up shop.

Miss Marple, I had to copy that list because I'm also sending it to my e-mail. I had thought I'd stayed up on things, but obviously not.
I had not known about several of those items.
This is shocking. I'm sitting here thinking things no human should have to think. But what other explanation could there possibly be for this?
I would like to suggest that you and I and any other freepers who care to participate send this list to Rush, Tony Snow, Brit Hume, etc. and ask them to start asking questions of LA officials about these matters. I think we need to demand an explanation.
Also, we should send that list to our elected representatives and tell them that no investigation will be complete without getting answers to these questions.
Miss Marple, your list is terrific! I added a couple of items, and will send this to all on my address book. Thanks, and keep those useful ideas coming.
"Democrats and members of the media are circulating a lie that President Bush did not respond adequately to the Katrina hurricane crisis.
THE TRUTH:
1. President Bush offered help to Governor Blanco on August 27, 2005, BEFORE THE HURRICANE HIT, and she declined. Federal law requires that the governor of a state ask for assistance before the Feds will step in. Even though his offer for evacuation help was rejected, Bush directed Homeland Security to prepare for disaster relief. The FEDS WERE READY, Blanco was not.
2. The National Guard was not mobilized immediately by Governor Blanco, saying she had to have 24 hours to make the decision for evacuation.
3. Mayor Nagin had 550 municipal buses and hundreds of additional school buses to evacuate New Orlean citizens, and he refused to do so, allowing the buses to become flooded and useless.
4. The American Red Cross was turned back by Louisiana officials.
5. The Salvation Army was turned back by Louisiana officials.
6. Hundreds of private citizens with boats ready to rescue people were turned back by Louisiana Fish and Wildllife officials.
7. Mobile hospitals and doctors from North Carolina were turned back by Louisiana officials.
8. Ham operators offering to help with communications were turned down by Louisiana officials."
