Fox News ^

[Bommer]

Now tell me, who's ignorant?

Apparently you are since you can't do a simple FR search. More concerned being a Spellin' NAZI then refuting facts! But I've seen your ilk in FR. Even when your proven wrong,your never wrong! Chew on these moron:

Mayor Nagin intervened to help tourists escape New Orleans before people in Superdome

Hurricane Aussies fear for safety(racist attacks on tourists)

[longtermmemmory]

NO not outrageous.

THINK!

The DON't need long term help.

Rescue workers need to get them out of the way.

They are only a drain and can take care of themselves once OUT OF THE AREA.


when they are gone that is more food for those who need long term help. More beds, more blankets, even more attention since the otherwise self sufficent are out of the disaster area.


Get rid of them and THEN you have more resources to devote to those who will need more than just a bus ride out.

Can anyone justify why the luxurious guests of the Hyatt were placed in line ahead of those that had been suffering in far worse conditions?

The mayor cares about all of the people in New Orleans; it just so happens he cares more about those that are better off and from out of town.

After all, he doesn't want them to get a bad impression of New Orleans.

Besides, he said it was all Bush's fault that these people went to the front of the line.

[the Deejay]

The tourists had been in a hotel, high & dry.

They weren't desperate for food and shelter like the infants, sick & elderly on the freeways [many of whom died due to no food or water] and the Dome.

[John Lenin]

Doc Martin must be a product of the publik skoolz because he he failed to comprehend the paragraph that explaned the reason why the guests of the hotel were moved. It was to make room for a police, fire and political headquarters. Don't let the facts get in the way, blame it on the power of those rich white guys ...

I don't think you can.

Partner, the way I see it, you received a deluge of pointed, direct responses to your post. With all of the replies to your post, I see that you answered a grand total of two of the "low hanging fruit", the second one mostly on spelling.

I suspect the "Dr." in Dr. Marten might be an honorary doctorate at best, and self proclaimed at worst.

And by the way, Congradulations is spelled Congratulations. Or did you not "con-graduate" from high school?

[longtermmemmory]

still wrong.

They need to maximize the results for the effort.

There were not "high and dry" they STILL take up relief resources. Now that they are gone. That means the others will have the resources once devoted the tourists. THOSE beds are freed up.

I do not thing anyone "died" because of getting the out of towners out of the way of those who need real help.

You should be blaming the mayor for not getting the tourists out of the way sooner. Key West, Miami, Fort Lauderdale, all clear out the hotels upon hurricane warning. This way stranded tourists do not take resources from residents.

Sorry but logistically this is 100% logical.

[Trampled by Lambs]

There may be perfectly logical reasons why this happened. But the fact is, when *some* people see this, it makes them ANGRY. Most of those won't bother to find out why it happened only that they saw rich white folks being given priority.

More race bait fuel for Jackson & Sharpton.

[Logophile]

Congradulations on stupidest post of the year.

That post was dumb, but it cannot match the nastiness of your posts.

[Wormwood]

Bush could have landed in the middle of the Superdome in a flaming chariot, showering the refugees with manna and gold—and the race pimps would still complain.

[serpentineshel]

I am SO in agreement with you. I cannot FATHOM how anyone saw that monster coming towards the coast from outside Pensacola to the western state line of Louisiana STAYED where they were. That storm took up almost the entire Gulf.

If you were sitting in your home waiting for some mayor or governor or local official to tell you to leave and you were able-bodied, then you were an IDIOT.

And the mayor was an idiot to put off mandatory evacs when he looked at that storm and kept all those school buses parked where they were, never intended to help get people out ahead of time.

Those tourists had no way of getting out. They were targets, trapped, and they deserved to get the hell out of there.

Let me try: They are visitors and have places to go. Once they are out, they can focus on the people indigenous to the area. In other words, get the visitors out first.

No brainer, dude.

The guests have houses/some place to return to, most likely in some other state ...

Geesh.

This SHOULD NOT be rocket science ...

This is one that I love (although I'm not sure how true it is...I'm sure it's at least fairly close!):

re: shotgun mag extensions: I have an 8-round on my Rem 870. You need to make sure that the mag extension you get does not extend past the barrel of the gun. For long extensions like the 10-round, you can also get a clamp that attaches to it plus the barrel to hold the mag extension rigid

I can.. extremely corrupt state and city government... like New Jersey..
governing an equally corrupt populace.. voted in to office by the "poor" and "disenfranchised"..

Payback is b!tch.. like Landrieu(d) the Senator.....

[Texas Songwriter]

Were these the people who Mayor Nagan ordered the buses to drive out first? I don't know, let's ask Mayor Nagan.
