You just can't make this stuff up...

These were educated white liberals — they had been dormitory mates at Harvard — who had returned to New Orleans after Katrina to do good works in "the community." The husband, a doctor, ran a clinic that turned no one away. The wife... well, let the Times-Picayune tell it:

Hill wore thrift store garb and made experimental films, a craft she sought to share with other women, holding "film-making bees" in which they made rudimentary films... Gailiunas (i.e. the husband) sang songs about love and leftist politics in a solo act called Ukelele (sic) Against the Machine...

The couple also ran a feed-the-homeless enterprise named Food Not Bombs. You get the picture. These were not Republican voters.

What happened to this young couple was unspeakably horrible, and there is of course no excusing such barbarism. It is hard, though, not to shake your head at the couple’s unworldly naivety (sic). What kind of people did they think they were going to encounter when they got down and dirty with "the community"? The Times-Picayune story quoted a neighbor of the couple saying this: "They would never do it, but they should have answered the door with a gun." Hard to disagree with that — either part of it.

:grr: :banghead: :nuke:

The fuckmook also refers to New Orleans as "the blackest American city I have been in"! Anyone wanna buy him a one-way ticket to Gary, Ind.?

This DUer, who marched in the memory of Hill and others one week ago today (where was DU coverage of the march?), replies to Mr. Derbyshire thusly:



edit: Thankfully, Gailiunas survived (though he plans to leave the city), so it is murder victim, singular. Plus, I missed that they misspelled 'ukulele the first time. D'oh!

1. That article is purely ignorant

As they say in the South - purely ignorant.

2. WTF???

I lived in New Orleans most of my life (left in 1994), but I have never, ever seen such an obnoxious,idiotic,fucking prejudiced article about that great city in my life!!!!
The fucking moran went there for the first time, spent two fucking days at the beginning of January)and that qualifies him to judge how "camp" Mardi Gras is, the city is so black (yeah, so what, asshole!!), and whether buildings were abandoned/deserted (whatever the hell he wrote) BEFORE Katrina!!
I am furious, and the article gave me a headache.
Even though I'm pissed off and feeling ill now, thanks for posting, KamaAina. You're right, you just can't make this stuff up.
:puke: :banghead:

..this guy is an asshole and the national review published this because they are as racist as any of the members of the aryan nations. i`ve read the same shit on stormfront ,vanguard, and aryan nation. i actually prefer these guys cause they let you know just how they feel and do not hide behind code words...after all-"smiling faces hide the evil that lurks within"
