   There were deaths from Gustav in Michael Moore’s Cuba. I didn’t hear anybody on their side say, “That proves that God is on our side,” because of that…

   How much did Oberthruster and Moorefat contribute to the restoration of NOLA three years ago?

   Will MooreON send financial help to his buddies in Havana, or New Orleans? Don’t hold your breath.

   I’ll lay odds that the Earl of Chubby Pomposity is living on borrowed time, healthwise…unless he’s been partaking some of that wonderful socialist healthcare in Cuba.

   No, but perhaps you are. Were the matter solely an issue of race, AAs would have turned out in record numbers for Alan Keyes. They didn’t. There was, you see, the teeny matter of differing political philosophies. Therefore (follow me here) it isn’t just an issue of race, as some here would like to suggest.

   The media and press painted Katrina as a republican failure. Where was/is Congressman “Cold Cash” Jefferson?

   The people of Louisiana know who was to blame that is why we elected Jindal. Now, why NO re-elected that moron Naqin is beyond me.

   A friend and I often debate which politicians we think will get the “most special” rings of Hell.

   Up to now, we had Teddy K, Kerry and Murtha closest to the epicenter, but I think Mooron, Olberman and those charming newbies, Flowler and Spratt, will be right alongside their brethren.

   I suspect Dante is digging new rings even as we speak.

    I wonder if Don Fowler, former DNC Chairman, is laughing about this.

    “The ‘Welcoming Committee’ is a criminal enterprise made up of 35 anarchists who are intent on committing criminal acts before and during the Republican National Convention,” said Sheriff Bob Fletcher in a statement. “These acts include tactics to blockade and disable delegate buses, breaching venue security and injuring police officers.

    I wonder if “The Welcoming Committee” was responsible for stomping a NYC policeman into a coma at the RNC in Manhattan back in 2004? If I remember correctly, those perps were just liberal thugs who took Ice T’s lyrics too literally.

    This is just STUPID! Life does not stop in the rest of America because a hurricane makes landfall somewhere! Is this to be the new “polically correct” norm from now on? All baseball, football, and other sports events, all movies, all weddings, all birthday parties are to be cancelled in Maryland because a tornado touches down in Kansas? An earthquake in California requires the cancellation of all activites in Texas out of respect for the victims?

    I don’t recall baseball games being cancelled after Hurricane Andrew devastated my area of South Florida. I want compensation for the insults of the rest of the nation for not stopping their lives because we got nailed. I don’t recall basketball being cancelled for the duration after the Nortridge earthquake.

    What the H*LL is wrong with us? Because the Democrats are behaving like the crass morons they are the rest of us have to join in the parade?

    The economic hit my city (Minneapolis) is going to take is enormous! The hotels, the restaurants…! It does seem a bit crass, however, to celebrate when New Orleans and other cities are being hit so hard. I don’t know what the answer is at this point, except perhaps they could just have the convention as planned, just tone it down. We are going to take criticism no matter what we do. If we are enthusiastic about our candidates, the dark side will say we are typical republicans, no sympathy for the plight of the hurricane victims. This is a really tough call!

    Here’s an election ad the RNC will never run.

    [A slide show of pictures of the citizens of the Gulf Coast fleeing the on-coming hurricane, slowly dissolving to a slide show of Democratic ‘luminaries such as Michael Moore, Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, Howard Dean, etc.]

    [Narration starts] ‘When Gustav came and the citizens of the Gulf Coast had to leave their homes and their livelihoods for their safety, what did they get from the Democratic Party? Did they get empathy; did they get prayers for their well-being and safety?

    They got condescension instead of empathy. Instead of prayers they got mean-sprinted partisan attacks on the Republican Party, the same old, tired partisan attacks which have hamstrung Republican leadership in Washington.’

    ‘If this is all the Democratic Party can show to the citizens of the United Sates in the face of a natural disaster, what will they show the American public as leaders in the White House?’

    ‘Think about this when you vote in November.’

    To look at this issue with a critical eye, just let me say that while their idiological brothers in Cuba were enduring the hardships of Hurricane Gustav, some even dying, the Democrats “partied hardy” at their convention. There, as far as I am aware, was NO mention of postponing their event.

    While it is true that the Cuban’s are not US citizens, we DO have a military base there, there are currently WOT prisoners held there, and since Obamatron claims to be a citizen of the world, where was his concern for his idiological brethren, and the military personnel he desires to command?

    This from a guy who was scolded for telling African Americans to “go back to Africa.” Please. You, by far, represent one of the most obvious examples of the commenters I was talking about. I don’t believe “everything is racist” — I have far too many close, loving relationships with people who happen to be white (and Asian and Latino and Middle Eastern), including family members — to possibly believe that. You, on the other hand, I’m pretty sure about.

    And if the ability to post a coherent comment in your first language is any measure of who is or is not a “moron,” you fall squarely on the is side.

    Changing the subject slightly to the actual topic of the videos, I can’t see how this hurts the Republicans. All levels of government get a chance to redeem their showing from Katrina (thank God for Bobby Jindal) and it gives McCain a chance to act presidential, which plays to people of thought far better than Obama acting like a Greco-Roman rockstar in his convention.

    I’m a firm believer in substance outweighing style, and despite the MSM’s best efforts, this could play out showing the true difference between the two candidates. Now all McCain has to do is handle it right….this is his chance to win the election.

    As a Louisiana resident who’s pretty much glued to the tv and internet for the next 24 hours watching the doom and gloom inch forward, I don’t have a problem with people celebrating and looking ahead to the future. Right now my focus is on the hurricane because it impacts me and my friends and family directly. But I realize that life goes on for everyone else and we need people who will continue to celebrate all the good that goes on in spite of others’ tragedy. It gives people like me hope that even when things are tough, they won’t always be that way.

    There’s plenty of people who are focused on Louisiana right now, those who don’t have a direct personal interest in the situation need to focus their energies on other aspects of our country’s future. We know you’re thinking about us, now go on and make sure there’s something else out there to continue to give us hope and a positive outlook.

Anyway, if he said it in that context, I can see that he was trying to be funny, even though he wasn’t! Never thought I would defend a crazy liberal, but trying to be “fair and balanced”.

    he got caught. ” Oh well, I’ll lay it back on Falwell and that will shut the
    conservatives up.” Didn’t work. Anytime you are talking in public, whether
    you or shouting or whispering, I don’t see an expectation of privacy or you
    wouldn’t be talking in public. Sleazes all.

    I’ve been bouncing around from site to site (while watching Fox for updates), so haven’t read all the other comments yet, but I just want to let CantCureStupid, and everyone else in harm’s way down on the Gulf Coast, that you are in my prayers.

    Dressing for church this morning, I decided to wear the Blue Roof pin made by Lisana’s Glass House in Louisiana that the teens from our church sold as a fund raiser for one of the two summer missions trips they did in New Orleans. We all hope and pray that there will be far less need for those blue tarps this time around, but most of all, we pray that everyone is safe.

    I believe Abe Lincoln said something along those lines.

    As did an Israeli leader named Joshua, someone whom Obama mischaracterized as having limited leadership when he took over from Moses.

    Scripture, however, tells us the very real depth of experience that Joshua had when he led the children of Israel into the Promised Land.

    I’ll take the word of God over the One any day.

    Last I heard, there were 50,000 of them [referring to the moonbats]. Maybe they can be talked into going down to N.O. when the hurricane passes, and help out.

    Kathleen Blanco is on Fox with (guess who!) Geraldo, claiming credit for everything that is going right this time.

    She did admit that the Feds were not in the loop last time. Hmmm, gee I wonder whose fault that was?

    Geraldo is asking if she is bitter she was blamed for the failure of her admin during Katrina. At least she is not whining that she was blamed incorrectly. She is taking credit for fixing everything, and claiming credit for this disaster going correctly.

    She is not admitting it was her fault and Mayor Nagin that caused the problems, but at least she is not as whiney as Geraldo.

    Yep, about sums up my opinions.

    Hey, remember the huge blizzard that swept through the mountain and midwestern states in early ’07? Remember all the flooding in Iowa and other places this year? Remember all the other fires and disasters that have affected places other than New Orleans since Katrina?

    Remember hearing about all the rioting and stealing, and cities inheriting other places’ criminals, cops rounding up citizen’s guns, etc? Citizens taking federal money to blow on strippers and beer? Living in gov’t trailers for years on end? Remember the telethons to raise money for all those people in fly-over country?

    Neither do I.

    Remember how Nagin was re-elected? Yeah. Classic.

    I hope that by some miracle, this storm loses strength, but I know it’s not likely. I am afraid that some people are going to be leary of donating money this time around. I would encourage people to donate to those organizations like the Red Cross who are actually out there to help people.

    Why does Michael Moore continue to open his mouth without having a trash receptacle placed directly below it? Is this not hazardous to the environment? Shouldn’t the nuts in the Greenpeace boats and the Kyoto-lovers be admonishing M&M to better care for Mother Earth?

    And why does anyone left on God’s green earth still mistake Keith Olbermann for an actual objective journalist? Someone please stop the watch on this tool’s fifteen minutes. He was Craig Kilborn’s mental waterboy on SportsCenter, but is still allowed steady airtime nightly (If Keith wants proof that God exists, it’s in the fact his ratings are dwarfed by “Iron Chef America” reruns on Food Network) on an actual cable network where he is allowed to spew puerile rants and ad hominem attacks under the guise of journalism.

    Mike’s election guide looks like it comes in just the right size to use as wipe in the biff, too. So at least we’ve got that going for us.

    Thank goodness Bobby J is in charge now in the great state of Louisiana. Next stop, removing “Vagina-friendly mayor” Ray Nagin, useless corruptocrat of the left.

    To All:

    Michael Moore is disgusting.

    I am a staunch conservative, who often posts here.

    Nevertheless, I have known Don Fowler for my entire life. He is a good person, a great father and a leader in the community. While I do not approve of his attempt at humor in this video, I do accept his apology as sincere. I disagree with Don on all issues, but I know he has a good heart and did not mean what he said as anything more than a poor attempt of humor. Many politicians, on both sides, have made gaffs before. One should never compare Don Fowler to Michael Moore. The two are as different as night and day.

    There will always be those with whom we disagree; however, we should make every attempt to understand the difference between the “Nutbags” on both side and those with strong political convictions.

    God bless and be with all Americans living in the Gulf Coast region today.

    Again, true character is revealed in a crisis or when a person thinks no one else is around to hold them accountable. Fowler, the DNC and a number of left wing nut jobs have exposed the vile underbelly of the DNC & liberals in general. It smells pretty bad. Fowler is so much less of a man when he equivocates his so called apology by evoking the mistake of a now deceased person (who apologized) to try and mitigate his own moral corrupt failures. The man is feckless and we should not let up on him.

    I’m not a fan of non-apology apologies. If you’re sorry, you apologize, and then shut up. This doesn’t seem to cut it. He’s looking for cheap grace; he can go elsewhere.

    Beyond that, you have to ask whether his terrible remarks square with the adage that (paraphrasing) character is what you do when no one is looking (and also when you do something that is the right thing to do even if it will cost you).

    Good luck to Mr. Fowler in working through his problem.

    This morning, our own Amy Klobochar, democrat,Minnesota was being interviewed on the floor of the Republican convention by Steve Doocy. The whole place is empty because our turn at presenting our platform has been postponed due to the hurricane. Doocy asked her a very simple political question and she answered it very quickly and then said, “But this isn’t about politics. This is about those people in the south who are blah blah blah.” Doocy had the audacity to ask another political question and she replied the same way. So let me get this straight. Fox news has been covering the hurricane 24×7 for days. There is nothing going on at the present time. The hurricane has not hit the coast yet. Steve Doocy has the incredible bad taste to ask a political question while sitting in the middle of the decimated republican convention. This is so freaking disgusting! The dems had all last week to spew their garbage, but now we shouldn’t even ask a question because there is a hurricane?. I can’t take this any more.
