On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats' convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least.
For example, they made fun of Sarah Palin for several minutes, Fowler calling her "Dan Quayle" on steroids and Spratt creatively describing her as "just terrible." They both agreed that, "Other than the simple fact that she's a female," she has nothing to offer.
Then there was this gem of a moment from Fowler:
So you see, it's funny. That New Orleans will get a hurricane. That's funny because it is due to hit when President Bush is scheduled to speak. Isn't that cool? Fowler isn't the only one who thinks so, just ask Michael Moore.
We all know Democrats used and use Katrina as a political football as callously as possible. Here's a candid moment showing some can hardly wait for another one.
All Class.
Thanks for the info. Ticker is not good enough though imho. Hope they run with it tomorrow on air!
BTW..John Spratt’s Open Secrets page:

Monday morning...I am calling his ‘donors’!
This is really outrageous!
Well, maybe he will--but only because he got caught.
Sorry to bust your bubble- The chocolate mayor is still the mayor of NO. Wonder if he's got his hotel reservation in Dallas yet?
The RNC starts on Monday, less than 48 hours away. While I sure hope the “Palin Effect” or bump continues, there is not one whole week for the Palin Effect before the start of the RNC..... it’s more like 72 hours from the time she was announced until the start of the convention. Still, let’s hope the Palin Effect feeds right into the RNC and there’s a couple of big bumps up in the polls.
This hurricane is sure to exploited by these loathsome Demagogues, though. I could not believe what they were allowed to get away with last time!
The worst thing happening in the country this weekend is that a huge Cat. 4 or 5 hurricane is bearing down on the Gulf Coast and it could well be one of the worst in many years.
So of course there are lots of vile Demagogues like Fowler who are chuckling and hoping for maximum disaster that they can turn to political advantage. These Demagogues are not worthy to hold any public office, anywhere.
They truly are satans on earth ... the gates of hell have opened.
Prayer request for protection from Gustav and for the effect it will have on the GOP Convention, this just in from Francis Frangipane:
Urgent Prayer for Gulf Coast by Tom Victor
Francis Frangipane Ministries
Ministries of Francis Frangipane August 30, 2008
This arrived today from the National Prayer Committee. Pastor Frangipane felt its urgency could not be overstated. We need focused, believing, faithful prayer as this is a very dangerous storm.
Thank you for standing in faith!
Hurricane Gustav - A Call to Urgent Prayer by Tom Victor
Dear Friends and Prayer Partners,
I woke up very early this morning with a growing concern. Here in the United States we are in a holiday weekend. But we are also facing a significant challenge. No doubt many of you are already praying - but would you take a couple of minutes to read the following. Then please join us in prayer and help to get this prayer alert out to others that can join with us both in the United States and around the world. Here’s why.
History and Context:
In 2005 as Rita, a category 5 Hurricane was lining up for a direct hit on Houston, sustained winds had reached 180 miles per hour. Lt. Col. Warren Madden, a Hurricane Hunter and meteorologist for the Weather Channel, recorded a peak wind gust of 235 miles per hour while flying in the eye of the story and called Rita, “the strongest storm that I’ve ever been in.”
It was indeed a killer, the strongest hurricane to enter the Gulf of Mexico at the time, surpassing the strength of Hurricane Katrina that had devastated New Orleans and the surrounding area only weeks earlier. As a result the largest mass evacuation in our nation’s history began in the Greater Houston area, involving some 2.7 million people.
Suzette Caldwell, associate pastor for Windsor Village United Methodist Church and President of the Kingdom Builders’ Prayer Institute, issued an urgent call to pray. A specific prayer assignment was given as people in Houston were encouraged to point their hands towards Rita and pray in unity. That call was picked up through the Houston Prays network and sent out to key prayer networks in places like Indonesia, India and to praying people literally around the world.
The Miracle:
Did God answer those prayers? We watched as Hurricane Rita shifted her course and landed 100 miles to the east in the least populated regions of the coast. The winds diminished from 180 to 115 miles per hour when the storm made landfall. Winds blowing offshore in Texas actually flattened the storm surge which was only seven feet in
Galveston, well below the Galveston seawall. The five inches of rain expected to fall overnight in neighboring New Orleans also did not happen and the pressure on their levee system was eased. Following Rita, gas prices fell in the U.S. instead of rising as feared.
Current Challenge:
We are facing a new threat as Hurricane Gustav is moving toward the Gulf of Mexico. A line of storms is forming behind, including tropical storm Hanna. Water temperatures are very favorable for intensification of Hurricane Gustav. It has already reached Major Hurricane Status of category 4 with sustained winds of 145 miles per hour. Those winds are expected to strengthen with a growing probability of a full category 5 hurricane.
The implications of Gustav and this line of storms following for our entire nation are very significant, especially for the peoples along the Gulf Coast and in major cities of New Orleans and Houston. Evacuation plans are already in place as well as contingency plans for the GOP National Convention on Monday.
God was gracious to us during Rita as united prayers were lifted up in the area and around the world. Would you join with us in prayer once again?
Call to Urgent, United Prayer for Gustav:
Please join with us in faith as we unite our hearts in prayer. For those in the Gulf Area, you are encouraged to point your hands towards Gustav and pray the following:
The Prayer:
Father, we acknowledge you as Lord over the United States.
You reign above all gods. All power belongs to You.
We thank You for your continual protection and provision.
Using the authority given to us in the Name of Jesus, we speak to Hurricane Gustav and we command the winds and the storm to dissipate.
We ask for the peace of God to still Hurricane Gustav, and we declare that Gustav will not bring harm or destruction to New Orleans, Houston or the surrounding coastal areas.
We also speak to Hanna and the storms lining up following Gustav. We declare peace to these storms and we command them to dissipate and to do no harm.
Lord, we ask You to touch the heart of every believer in this area to pray against this hurricane. Raise up a Spirit of prayer and empower your people to pray effectively.
Father, please forgive our many sins. Please forgive our
disobedience, rebellion, unbelief, and any forms of idolatry. Lord, help us to be a nation that is kind and forgiving to others.
Have mercy upon us. Lord, help us to overcome our temptations as a nation, and please deliver us from this impending destruction. We ask You to destroy every satanic assignment against our nation during this season.
Father, in Your great love and compassion we also ask you to protect the peoples of the islands in the path of Gustav, Hanna and these weather system.
Now to the King Eternal, Immortal, Invisible, to God who alone is wise, be honor and glory forever and ever. We ask this in Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Thanks for praying,
Tom Victor

With Mayor Ray Nagin ordering a mandory evacuation, this event will be shortened...

disgusting doesn’t describe the vermin
I had Dr. Fowler as my professor at the Univ. of South Carolina. He was a great professor but he is a HUGE liberal.
Amen.
I have to say that after reading/listening to Fowler and reading the Michael Moore comments it sickens me to think that they actually believe God supports their worship of death. It is a spirt of uncleanliness that covers those people who speak such. People who actually believe that the God of creation would rejoice over destruction have NO concept of God the Father. Our enemies need our prayers as well as prayer about the storm.
Are they having another gay parade there again this weekend?
I.....
E.....
D.....
I wonder if you caught that??
I agree. I just sent it to a number of friends. One drove from his city north of NOLA to distribute money for gas, plus all kinds of items needed after Katrina. I am certain he will be outraged and get this out to 200 or so on his list.
Regardless, this Fowler is a disgraceful man. He should be forced to resign and ordered to be in NOLA immediately to go house to house and knock on doors with the National Guard.
Ahhhhhh, the “Party of the People”. What’s sad is that 90 percent of the lemmings still wouldn’t understand the significance of this, even if the Democrat media would let them see it.
Maybe “God” ran the video camera... lol!
Despicable.
Well, he stayed pc and didn’t blame it onthe big gay bash that was supposed to have happened in NO this weekend.
The fools of the dems, this means that the Palin attacks will not be covered either.
