On this much, there is general agreement: The destruction of the Lower 9th Ward started with a series of earthshaking explosions.
Preliminary evidence shows shoddy engineering, poor maintenance and politics led to the massive failure of the levee system that was supposed to keep New Orleans dry.
But long before the evidence was pulled together, another theory had taken root, and it probably won't go away any time soon: that the explosions were caused by dynamite set by someone deliberately blowing up the levees.

The only problem with that is that N.O. has been under black authority for over 25 years now.
Yeah, arrest that Nagin guy. (Evidence to the contrary be damned!)
Ahh, so we can't blame black folks for believing such a ridiculous lie because they have suffered so long with RACISM! It is racist white people who caused blacks to cling to ANY story that would explain their suffering.
Racism strikes again!!!
The culprit.
And the TP persists in keeping the lie alive...
Deliberate dynamiting of the levees will becomethe politically correct explanation because nothing bad happens to black folks that is not brought upon them by the schemes of white folks.
These people are beyond belief.
The evil white Snidely Whiplash type...watches the weather and says to himself "This is my chance...a Cat5 Hurricane...nobody will be the wiser...I've been waiting YEARS...DECADES to do this..."
So he and his evil white friends load their truck with dynamite, and drive over to a levee, carefully chosen to flood only the black neighborhoods, and they blow up the levee.
Remember...this is the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan who proposes this theory.
The rumors persist because the da*n news media keep printing and repeating them.
My favorite NO moonbat conspiracy story is that flood waters were pumped out of the elevated white sections down to the black neighboorhoods.
And what, pray tell, is a TP?????

It's time for those who believe the lie to put up or shut up. Let them prove it.
Jimmie J.J. Kid Dy-no-mite Walker is actually a Republican. :)
Which is probably why the rumor perists.....:-)
I heard some of these nuts testifying; truly the dimmest of dim bulbs.
"It's time for those who believe the lie to put up or shut up. Let them prove it."
They won't do that. The lie is perpetuated because it has some sort of political or psychological value.
Makes just about as much sense.

Mayor Nagin did it.
