We do, but Hollywood and the mainstream media don't push their books and movies for them. Even though his movie has been fully discredited, how often did you see and hear stories about it, or TV hosts gushing over every book or news clip that put Bush in a bad light? Interviews, newspaper articles, Democrat senators that used their own money as startup capital for Air America.

Moore is nobody special, he's not intelligent, and he doesn't have any special insight. The lens of the mainstream media is like the side-view mirror on your car... "Objects may appear larger than they actually are". Take that away from him and he'll be back in Flint taking cheap shots at General Motors, waiting for someone to notice him.

How many thousands died recently in Europe from the heat? I thought thousands of elderly died in France.

No, you're wrong. We're not bringing this up to say Bush is to blame and Clinton was to blame too. We're saying "Where was the effing mediain 1995?" Bringing it up shows the absolute partisanship of the media and how it colloborates with the unconscionable Democrats.

"Every right-leaning talk radio station in the country should remind their listeners about this."

And what good will it do if a day or two later President Bush comes out and disputes this claim and again sides with the left that the "unexceptable" response to Hurricane Katrina was based on racism?

Right leaning radio stations are doing just fine. Fire the WH spokesperson for starters. He's useless. The media has a hayday with him everyday and Bush's approval ratings have been dropping ever since this man started in his job.

Because NOTHING happens unless its on TV news, if the "news" want to ignore it, it did not happen, they write the script to every news event.

During Clinton, there was total peace and prosperity.

As awful and unscrupulous as Moore is he got a lot of votes for Traitor Kerry. Bush would've won by 15 points if Moore didn't make that movie.

You're right.. the leftists learned a long time ago that perception is reality and ever since they've been about distorting and concealing reality to create the perceptions that they want.

For two weeks straight the alternative media has made the race-card liberals look foolish. What did Bush do? He came out with a speech in New Olreans claiming the liberal media was right and the response to the hurricane was indeed "racist" and he was responsible. Bush is right, the buck does stop at him. The question is, will he fire the WH spokes person or will he continue to let the media knock this guy and the WH approval ratings down?

This man is like seeing Gilligan in the ring with Mike Tyson!

Drudge just said Clinton was out golfing while the people baked to death in Chicago. WOW!!!!!!!!

Cameron Diaz said the same thing about Bush out in California. He was actually commemorating the anniversary of VJ Day in San Diego.

I need Rush, Hannity, Savage and O'reilly to mention it. I need it to get to get forward through e-mail 10 million times.

Rush talked about this already, either earlier in the week or during the week before. It's old news.

Posted before, but once again:

Where was Clinton, Dewitt and FEMA in 1995? During the month of July heat wave of that year in Chicago, in spite of repeated warnings of the impending disaster, all of them stood by and let well over 1,000 (even higher if counting those who were admitted to hospitals and died later) poor, disabled and mostly Black elderly die alone and unaided in one week.

Why did Clinton, Dewitt's FEMA and Chicago Mayor Daley not follow their own heat disaster plan? Why did Clinton and FEMA down play the number of dead? Why were so many of the unclaimed dead stuffed into pine boxes and buried unceremoniously in mass graves? Why was this hushed up in the MSM after several independent studies and resulting reports laid the blame directly upon all of them.

Aftermath postmortem.

On second thought...you're right... it is his fault and the fault of all Democrats that had a moral obligation to take care of their constituents.

Democrats are nothing but racists. Black America, welcome to your new "plantation!"
