Bush has gone totally daft...

[JPaul]

I am also aware that there were about 150-200K Hispanics (legal and otherwise) in the metro area.

I haven't heard a thing about them-do you suppose they all perished?

They made preparations.

The Colombians each put 1 Kilo of cocaine in their pockets thus making them totally invisible to US law enforcement and immigration officers.
The Cubans fashioned rafts out of bathtubs and ironing boards and are still paddling up the Mississippi to Wisconsin.
The Mexicans are currently working for fema contracted companies "cash in hand" for 30% of the minimum wage.

If I were to call you a narrow minded, stereotyping, half-wit would that make me a bad person.

Read this, then.

No movie material here...there were more forceful recountings, but I chose this one because it is not possible to refute Auntie Beeb, and everyone knows it.

Ask anyone...

Well damn...I never heard of babies being raped and such. I can't say all the stories are true. Who can?

I would believe that state officials will try to play down some of it to save face irregardless to the lack of local law enforcement at the 'Dome.

I really don't know what you are getting at but then again who does?

Well, then, in aid of your confusion:

You alluded to them as being on welfare-I surmised (therefore) that they were poor.

You alluded to the Superdome stories as indicative of neglect; I find testimony that this may be an incorrect conclusion.

What did I miss?

I think vid was attempting to commit sarcasm, JP.

Let us default to a more charitable position.

BTW-

I am outraged.

Busyman has accused me of gleaning.

What do you think I should do?

With the allusion to folks on welfare, I think you missed the "so the fuck what" in there. In essence, I could have said, "Whether they were rich...".
It would still be STFW. The word 'whether' kinda takes you there.

Irregardless to the 'Dome, I could be incorrect in my conclusion.....since I wasn't there. Admittedly, I haven't sat in front of Fox News as much as you have, most likely. When I've been in front of the tube, it's been mostly to watch all the good American TV shows that I've TIVO'd. Hell, I just watched an episode of CSI: Miami from last Monday.

Actually - JP is well aware of sarcasm. He must get in his jabs. Let him. I remember one when he went on a rant about America when...no one said anything about it in the first place.

Actually - you were accused of not gleaning.

[GepperRankins]

a lot of damn lefty news sites are suggesting that the looting, shooting and so on were exagerated in the media. does anyone know who raped who in the dome or who shot who during airlifts?

at the same time there are reports that suggest the people were neglected, hundreds being refused exit for several days and people asking for help being told to fuck off by the police and national guard

Was, too.

You said gleaning, and it doesn't matter what else you said.

Hmmm.

How do you type a soft wet raspberry?
