Two hosts at the liberal radio network Air America are defending Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan - saying he's not wrong to suspect that white people deliberately blew up the levees in New Orleans.
"You cannot blame people for coming up with conspiracy theories," Air America host Chuck D. said, after he was asked Thursday about the paranoid pronouncement by MSNBC's Tucker Carlson.
"They look on television and see that the government is four days late in saving people [who are] supposed to be their citizens," Chuck D. explained.
Carlson gave him a second chance to denounce Farrakhan's lunatic declaration, saying, "You're a smart guy. You know that white people didn't blow up the levees to kill black people. You've gotta know that didn't happen."
But the Air America host refused to budge, insisting instead that there was a chance Farrakhan could be right.
"I can't say unless I know for sure what's the actual facts and what's actually false," the rapper-turned-talk host said.
Carlson tried a third time, telling Chuck D.: "Look, I can say for certain that it was not a white conspiracy. White people did not blow up the levee to kill black people."
Still, the radio lefty wouldn't denounce Farrakhan's poisonous rant, saying only, "I don't think it's a person at fault but I think the system needs revamping."
After failing to persuade Chuck D., the MSNBC host turned to panelist Rachel Maddow, who also hosts a show on Air America.
Asked if she believed that white people deliberately destroyed the levees, Maddow declined to render a personal judgment - and instead defended the sentiment behind the toxic hypothesis.
"Conspiracy theories don't necessarily help but you have to understand where they come from," she told Carlson. "They come from people feeling like this disaster had a real racial component. I mean, it was a majority-black city that was absolutely abandoned by the country."
On Monday, Farrakhan uncorked his ugly theory, telling a North Carolina audience: "I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
Looks like Gov. Blanco's plan has been uncovered.
Farafraud must have gotten his theory from:

Large Developers Swarm Like Locust
The Taubmans, Tischman, Shorensteins, etc, see this is a golden opportunity. Most of New Orleans was low-income sub-standard housing for blacks.
Zionist real estate magnate vermin will be buying hand over fist at ridiculously low prices.
How can ya do anything but laugh?
It is obvious that the levees, if blown, was for the sole purpose of saving the French Quarter, and getting it opened back up to tourism and big bucks as soon as possible.
These conspiracy theories are mostly just ways to Bash Bush. They really don't believe them, but they get the extreme leftist wackos worked up who WILL believe these theories.
The only problem with giving credence to all of these theories is that one day soon, the Leaders of the Lefties will lose control of the extremists. DU makes up a new conspiracy every day. They will use ANYTHING that they find on the internet as proof, even if they wrote it themselves and then linked to it.
The Mothership has super Xray scanners (powered by Kryptonite) with Dr Funkenstein at the controls, whom can easily see the crater - that's how!!
Duh....
Actually, I wouldn't put THAT past Calypso Louie, either!
I heard that Faracan of crap sent out the thugs that murdered Malcom X.
Let em go nuts and then LOCK n LOAD!
you owe me a monitor cover!
Spoken like a true left-winger... ;^)
lol
Thanks for breaking the cricket sounds. I was starting to think my talent wasn't appreciated :(
:D
It used to be that the most monstrous lies took careful planning and detailed orchestration in massaging them to be believable at first glance. Nowadays, truth is so wounded that any absurd claim can be regarded as fact.
I have a theory about conspiracy theories/theorists.
They are usually borne out of some insecurity or inferiority - people love to know a secret. Most conspiracy theorists I know are guys who think their 'knowledge' impresses people. The subject is almost irrelevant - JFK, UFOs, New Orleans, 9/11, etc. - these people are convinced that they know more than their neighbor.
The construction of their delusion is usually simple: they accuse the government of all kinds of well-coordinated activities and cover-ups...EXCEPT they have outside information that contradicts the official version! So...the same government that was incompetent enough to let NO drown and 9/11 happen simultaneously is competent enough to squash all sources of information and media coverage. No, it doesn't make sense, but then neither to do these nutjobs.
Unfortunately, 9/11 and Katrina will allow the whackadoos to go on radio stations of all sorts who are desperate for material and they will spew their tinfoil-hat garbage and convert at least 1 soft-minded fool.
Oh no always appreciated :-)

me, me, me, meeeeeee!
Ok ready?
Hey! What happened???
Memo to Obadiah: your confession is worthless without sardonic/maniacal laughter, and the phrase "George Bush made me do it".
Try that, and you'll get 24/7 coverage on MSM networks, perhaps even a book deal or two.
