Anybody just see this lady in New Orleans SHUT DOWN CNN blabbermouth Soledad O'Brien? It was awesome! The lady (whose name I forgot) said her ancestors settled in New Orleans and she's lived there all her life. She said her neighborhood was high and dry, she had running water, and she wasn't going to evacuate. She blasted CNN and the MSM for showing only shots of flooded New Orleans, saying they weren't showing the parts of the city that were dry and inhabitable. Then she blasted the NO city government for failing to implement its own evacuation plan and evacuate inner-city people using buses. O'Brien tried a few times to rebut the "New Orleans lady," but the lady SHUT HER DOWN and seized control of the interview. In the end, O'Brien agreed to take her TV crew to the lady's neighborhood and show that. This was GREAT!!!

Even worse they didn't use Amtrak to evacuate. Blanco is a joke.

Military says "No." to Nagin (Won't take part in Mayor's debacle)
The entire West Bank portion of the city not only has power and water, but never was flooded! Take a look at the pictures! The area directly opposite downtown NOLA across the Mississippi River is still a part of the city of New Orleans!
"How original, let them eat cake, talking points!!!!"
yeah made me sick listening to this a$$. I spent maybe 7 seconds on the channel heard that and clicked really fast.
they blame Bush for every frickin thing that happens here or around the world
frickin Julio could scrape a knee and Bush would get blamed
don't hold your breath....
What if the MSM threw a hissy fit and nobody came? It sounds like that is what's happening - only 13% see things the MSM way - that number is probably close to their steady viewership and the number of people who still trust tha tee vee newz.
But she's hot, right?
Any idea as to why those residents are being strong armed to evacuate? This was my question yesterday on the thread I just cross referenced here.
There was a person that was interviewed on the radio yesterday from a dry area. He had stockpiled supplies and power. This is why he was staying. To guard his property.
Here I was, minding everbody's business, and you, with a mere 17 words, get me thinking of purely prurient interests.
Thanks a lot! ;)
Build their gallows high
Somehow I don't think CNN will exactly be putting it in heavy rotation.
You must've been the one person watching his show.
?
That is wonderful to turn it into a police state.
But that only tells me the authorities are incompetent to deal with free citizens.
Those seem to be excuses to remove the law abiding.
I'm just wondering, are they making those people leave so that they can use there homes to house workers
police and the troops. Maybe even to house the contractors that come in to rebuild the city. A lot of these
homes were high and dry.
Anybody hear Douglas Brinkley on Imus this morning? Disgusting! They are slamming Bush up-down-right-left-in-out, etc. He should have done this...he should have done that...he should have been there sooner...he was on vacation...he was fundraising on that Monday...he doesn't care about black people...America is racist...blah! blah! blah! I don't know how Charles and Bernie can sit there and listen to all that B.S. coming from that old fart Imus. Disgusting that they are willing to put their pocketbooks over principle.
If you think about it that 13% is a HORRIBLE indictment of the MSM.
They SPUN SPUN SPUN.
60 Minutes gave nagin a carte blanche puff piece.
YET STILL the MSM could not cover up the truth.
What needs to be repeated over and overand over is that BUSH SAVED LIVES by forcing that boob governor to order an evacuation
Problem is the GOP leaders and spokesmen are too cowed by the MSM and are more interested in sucking up to them then getting the truth out
You can be sure they won't repeat it. It doesn't fit with their agenda.
