One can not "prove" an opinion.

Well, damn! I didn't ask you to prove an opinion. I specifically said that your opinion was "misinformed." And it is.

You quite clearly accused me of having posts "full of bigotry." Well, you made the charge, now prove it. And it was a demonstrable fact that you made the charge.

Get busy. I want to see you back up your charge. And if you can't, have enough decency to retract your statement.

Still, many said without first hand proof, they would wait to see.

My dilemma was that hearing the mayor say it, I thought we had first hand proof. I just can't imagine elected officials making such outlandish claims without having verified them. Well, now I can.

LOL... this is my last post to you on this topic because we are getting no where.

I have nothing to prove to you- You may not recognize it-since you don't get to see it that often... BUT- I am one white gal who wont cower to you or try to appease you - all because you want to call me a racist or a bigot for disagreeing with you.

I know who and what I am- the other people who really know me know if your accusations are true or not and those are the only people I care about. And you can line up 100 of your buddies to call me a racist and KKK member and a bigot- and it won't change my feelings a bit.

I have been there- done that with you and your buddies already and I threw the t-shirt away.

I will not retract my opinions of your posts or my opinion of what you are doing here at this website, or any of my opinions of what is going on with racial issues in this country.

You don't like what I have to say? Don't read my posts.

It was amazing how fast some were willing to believe all these stories considering how much the MSM is distrusted on this site.

I'm all for that CW, provided that no one tells lies on me. But once that happens, all bets are off.

What??!? ... they lied .. say it ain't so

The media reported any spicy news they got. That is how they do it.

In the civic center, and the dome, it was horrendous.

Gunfire was heard. A guard was shot.

Thugs and Drugs were in abundance.

People were scared for their lives.

Blacks advised whites "you don't belong here."

It wasn't racial. It was damn good advice.

When it came down to it, American pride, God fearing pride showed itself.

The biggest and strongest , both black and white, defended the weak and infirm.

That is why there were not as many deaths and other violent acts as imagined.

These men will go unnamed, unacknowledged.

They don't consider themselves heroes.

God does.

The MSM won't be investigating those events. No spice.

Yep. After a while, I began to wonder because the MSM needs death and drama to make their numbers. Also, I wonder about the foreign press repeating the same stories with much 'happiness' because it was all about America bashing and Bush hating.

Nagin got them from a trusted source. Someone at the dome. Someone in the LNG. Someone under the control of Governor Blanco.

It was about that and more. The worst part was that the media was complicit in the attempt to drive the racial wedge deep. Despicable behavior.

Yep

Remember how they reported 6 Army Corps Engineers being shot by the NO Police??

They blew that story BIG TIME

And gave everyone a heart attack in the process

Yeah, makes you wonder if it wasn't an orchestrated attempt to smear Bush for his "delay." Lots of good corrections here:

The Associated Press is actually beginning to finally tell the truth about the Big Lie????

Once they begin to report about the failure to evacute New Orleans' poor and the hundreds of flooded parked buses we will then see:
