A member of Cindy Sheehan's legal team and Veterans For Peace fundraiser, Andrea Garland, claims the New Orleans levees were dynamited to protect "the rich part of town." And that the subsequent flooding was the result of officials using "too much dynamite":

254.640.8441Also heard that part of the reason our house flooded is they dynamited part of the levee after the first section broke - they did this to prevent Uptown (the rich part of town) from being flooded. Apparently they used too much dynamite, thus flooding part of the Bywater. So now I know who is responsible for flooding my house - not Katrina, but our government.
This outrageous claim has been heavily promoted by the Howard Dean paid shill site, the Daily Kos, here and here and probably elsewhere on that un-navigable site.
This story has also been picked up by self-proclaimed "American hero," Dick Gregory, as reported in this recorded interview from the CNS with the unfunny man:
"It (Hurricane Katrina) didn't hit, it went down the Gulf," Gregory said. "And nobody is asking, if it missed, where's this damn water coming from? Who shut them pumps off and who's going to investigate those two barges with dynamite on them that hit that levee," he said in reference to the failure of the city's levees and water pumps, which were intended to protect the city from flooding.
Andrea Garland stands to gain financially from promulgating such a tale. Ms. Garland is working closely with the VFP and their point man, Ward Reilly, in their scam to raise funds on the back of Katrina victims. (Discussed here and here.)

Of course, Cindy Sheehan herself is also deeply involved in the VFP's boondoggle, which they call Camp Casey III. The VFP's fraudulent activity has also been vouchsafed for and heavily promoted by Michael Moore, as well as many leftwing organs, including the Howard Dean paid shills at the Daily Kos.
Authorities are investigating the VFP's Katrina relief claims. Apparently some actions have been taken to stop their fraudulent activities. As even Andrea herself almost reports.
Simple! Blow the levees, flood the town, chase out the undesirables then park your yacht in your driveway! Brilliant plan!
Do these people realize that they are their own worst enemy yet? Do they buy their tin foil by the ton now?
Oh my God. The liberals have totally lost their minds. So sad.
Would appreciate any tips you may have on how to navigate that site to where I can find the info that it is heavily paid by Howard Dean. Thanks!
"Dont ask me for proof yet "
LOL!!!!
The way it was done back during Betsy, right?
It was white dynamite???
Whatever credibility Cindy Shaheen once had is gone.
I can just imagine what comes next:
Aliens that the government have been hiding in New Mexico use their spacecrafts to create hurricanes and tsunamis at Bush's request!
Has there EVER been a levy failure where the people that got flooded out did NOT blame the people that stayed dry? Every time a levy failes in Washington there are always "stories" of "them" dynamiting the levy.
Cindy has an Aide?
It's a big one on her left toe that she broke kicking on W's gate.
Why would anyone even quote her?
Won't happen. The MSM acts as a filter for these people. They push moveon.org stuff into the echo chamber - that's their job - but they filter out the stuff that exposes the really loony nature of the far Left. We'll hear about the heroic lefty lawyers helping the victims of Bush's hurricane, but we won't hear that bit about how the levees were dynamited by the Republicans to kill poor blacks.
No, they're not listening to Rush parodies, they're listening to the Moonbats overnite on Coast to Coast. Every night is a different political conspiracy (of course Bush is responsible for all of them unless Karl Rove hired Halliburton to pull it off.) No more little green men from Mars for them unless Bush is hiring space aliens to carry out his orders. I think they are trying to steal the Err America audience so they will inherit it when Err can't pay their bills and goes off the air.
Last June Andrea threw a house party MoveOn.org. Naturally, they screened Michael Moore's Goebbelsesque agit-prop fabrication, Fahrenheit 9/11.
So at least now we know where Ms. Gardner got her peculiar notions about "facts" and "truth."
This is too funny. First, the moonbats wanted to "soak-the-rich", which didn't stick. Now it's the rich soaking the poor, literally, by dynamiting levees.
Morons.
Yes, they never give a reason. Just point fingers.
