A letter from Michael Moore

[Late BrakeU2]

[ QUOTE ]
I find it interesting that people with little understanding of the demographics or topography of a place like New Orleans would post a letter from Michael Moore to express their dissatifaction of how the hurricane disaster was managed.[ QUOTE ]


I am very intimate with the goegraphic dynamics of the region,but thanks for the condescending overview.Perhaps you should re read that one paragraph from which you gleaned I was pro.. Moore?

[ QUOTE ]
Maybe instead of whining or pointing fingers you could send a check to the Red Cross or Salvation Army to help.[ QUOTE ]


Exactly,and what I felt was a glaring omission in his letter..but he did have room for Cindy.

Do really believe first of all that it's either edifying or constructive to post a letter from someone who loathes the Bush administration as an objective analysis of how the serach/rescue/recovery issue was handled?[ QUOTE ]


Yes, both edifying and constructive,because it clearly illustrates the man's political agenda.His callous,glib spin shows absolutely no class while people are still dying by the hour.A real man would have waited till at least the situation stabilized,but hey strike when the iron's hot and let's throw the race card in for good measure.

[ QUOTE ]
Instead of politicizing such a monumental tragedy why can't people just try to help make a difference?[ QUOTE ]

[ QUOTE ]
Or maybe we should try and prove that George Bush was the sole instigator behind Katrina because (as announced by a particular rapper last night on an NBC celebrity fundraiser)he doesn't care about blacks?

Last time I checked bullets,and extreme weather don't discrimnate but something tells me they would not be sniping dustoffs in Kennebunkport.

It seems that a lot of people want to point fingers at Bush and the Federal government for their slow response to the mess in New Orleans. I agree that the response has been slow but what did the Louisiana local and state governments do to prepair for this? What have they done to help after Katrina hit? From what I have seen, not very much. The New Orleans Mayor and Louisiana governer are as much or more to blame as anyone else. Mississippi and Alabama were hit very hard too but you don't the same things happening there that are happening in in New Orleans.

I think the biggest lesson to be learned from this whole deal is NEVER rely on the government for your protection and NEVER give up your guns. This is a perfect example how thin that "blue line" actually is.

PC term for looters= "Undocumeted Shoppers"

Why are they shooting the cops? I see where 30% of the NO police dept. has quit. Was watching an interview with a bunch of cops and they were fired on. Makes no sense to me.

Lawnessness (Sp?)..Amaizing to see, Seeing people taking shoes and food I understand, seeing the idiots stealing the Plasma tvs and stereos while wading through 5 feet of water is beyond belief. As the greatest country in the world we have some serious questions to ask ourselves here.

Glad to see the Media doing interviews. Think they may have a satallite phone or some grub to hand out. Hey, how about the interviews -- family members looking for each other, aunts, uncles, children. --- Haven't seen any interviews with some concerns for fellow co-workers ????

In my opinion, whether you are a President Bush supporter or a "fat" Mr. Moore lover really does not matter and has no bearing as to what happened in New Orleans.

First, I really want to know why this whole ordeal is being turned into a racial thing. Could we at least wait until we rescue a few people before this crap started. I'll agree that the govermemt's response was maybe (1) day slower than it should have been, but please keep in mind that this is the first time that FEMA has ever had to deal w/ a natural disaster of this magnitude on American soil.
How about giving them a little freakin' time to assemble their efforts.

Second, the liberal media needs to stop turning this into a black and white issue. I was wondering when this crap would start. I get so sick of hearing about this black and white racial discrimination Bulls*@t that I could Fu#@*ng scream!! If you actually think that the government did not respond as quickly because most of the victims were black, then you are indeed a weak minded idiot.

Everyone was warned about the impending danger and had ample opportunity to evacuate. I'll agree that there were some people who did not have the ability or the resources to get out, but for the most part people were just too
Got Damn ignorant to realize the danger. On second thought, maybe when the government has taken care of them for generations and they just don't give a rat's ass what happens because the government will take care of that too.

Finally, I'll tell you why they are shooting at police officers and emergency responders and why they are raping innocent women and children. The reason is because they are common thugs. It's funny how something like a disaster brings out the true colors in people. Why do you need to steal a plasma TV, a dozen leather jackets or a new Cadillac in a time of desperation?? Is this to feed your kids?? Hell no!! You have ceased the opportunitry for capital gain and are showing your true colors as a common criminal.

Shoot all the F*#@ing Looters and that problem will stop. You can then get to more important duties such as rescue operations.

Several of us have been blessed. Some of us have spent more money on a car than some people have paid for a home and that is nobody's business but yours. Please just remember all the innocent people who need America's help in New Orleans.
I have volunteered my services and will probably be sent within the next couple of weeks to help in relief efforts and to restore order.

I'll ask you, Where will "fat" Mr. Moore be during these people's time of need? Will he be pitching in to help the innocent find food, water and shelter or will he be stuffing his fat face w/ another meatball sub inside his $3 million dollar mansion while playing armchair quarterback to something he has no clue as to what is really going on?

Easy answer NOTHING!

Absolutely correct!

You build a city below sea level that in theory will withstand a catagory 3 Hurricane (wrong thinking there in the first place) only to have a catagory 5 Hurricane barrel down on you, you also get a couple days heads up and you do NOTHING??


Instead of sending in 400-700 buses two days AFTER the hurricane why not send them in 2 days BEFORE the hurricane??

I feel for everyone affected by this disaster and believe that more could have been done before Katrina unleashed her wrath.
