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.
OMG - how much do you want to bet someone heard that fake commercial on Rush's show and took it to be the truth....
geez what a bunch of loons...
MSN=MSM
LOL!! Will you people please stop. I'm trying to get some work done. I keep reading these things and laughing so hard I can't get anything done. : )
BTW, the sign she is composing demands accountability.
Devised to reduce democrat numbers in Florida and Louisiana.
It's now being used to deny power to the blue parts of Los Angeles.
That Karl Rove sure is clever.
Would that include Janet and The Beast?
This is clearly psychotic.
What the heck is going on here?
Have some of her "supporters" deserted her finally?
ROTFLMAO
It's the seriesness of the charge right?
She's been taking Rush a little too literally.
Didn't Chris Rock expose Bush's hatred for midgets on that concert thingy the other night?
Believe me by Friday this will be Gospel in every urban African American community.I can't explain why but too many blacks, and not just urban poor, jump on the bandwagon of the most outrageous stories. Whether it's Tawana Brawley, the CIA selling crack cocaine to pay for the Contra War,the 50s heroin epidemic designed to depopulate black communitites, the use of the justice system to incarcerate the majority of black men and destroy their communities, far too many people willingly and eagerly accept these fantasies as truth. When it comes to believing in conspiracies directed against them the too large a segment of Black Americans react in a way that makes the militia guys like Mark from Michigan seem objectively rational and down to earth.
And four years ago, Rummy ordered the air force to fly a B52 into the Pentagon.
Somebody hand that moonbat a microphone and a candidate.
Bush had better Federalize the situation, send in armed troops and call Greyhound.
Guess that nice long vacation is over huh? < sarcasm ON >
Karl Rove is mighty clever....
Roberts personally blew up dikes.
Kool aid.
I guess Moveondotorgy provides her a staff.
