cruise ships don't want 'those people' tearing up their ships

[mopaul]

cspan caller just uttered this racist filth

[liberaliraqvet26]

1. they are coming out of the woodwork....

im sure it was on the republican line

[mopaul]

2. only a republican would ejaculate such filth

suggesting that they tore up the super dome when it was offered to help them.

[rodeodance]

5. and Tubbs Jones basically told this jerk to walk in the shoes of the

poor, the displaced, the hungry, etc !!!! you go gal!!

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

3. I just heard this crap! Totally disgusting!!! I loved the idea of

using cruise ships. The evacuees need to be treated with loving care.

[no_hypocrisy]

4. Awwwww!!! We wouldn't want poor, dying BLACK people dirtying up the

Love Boat, would we?

Puke alert.

[rodeodance]

6. it was a really particularly vile comment and i suspect their are a whole

lot more people out there with those thoughts!

[rodeodance]

7. a caller in talking about how the working poor are demeaned--and the

black issue.

[Poppyseedman]

8. For every asshat like that guy there are a 100 people who are helping

They need a better call screener

[rodeodance]

9. "refugee" vs "fellow Americans"--I initally objected to the term refugee

being used, now I am ambivilant. But I do like the ring of 'fellow American"

[rodeodance]

11. I heard other members of the Black Caucus also say not to use 'refugee"

[H2O Man]

18. Rev Jackson was just on MSNBC

He said that "refugee" blurs the reality that these are our fellow Americans.

[rodeodance]

20. umm.. yes, it does when I think about it now.

[OmmmSweetOmmm]

22. Campbell Brown was reporting for the Today Show and said Refugees,

and I screamed! Yes! They are fellow Americans!

[Skidmore]

10. Did you hear the guy from Rock Island who was

perseverating on not taking relief monies out of SS. Clearly doesn't understand that IOUs are what keeps this govt afloat.

[rodeodance]

13. seemed more like he wanted his SS check to keep coming. I am

rather cynical at times.

[Cooley Hurd]

12. There are mothballed ships that could be towed close to NO...

...like the T.S. State of Maine, and it's only 130 miles away from NOLA (in Mobile Bay).

[rodeodance]

14. the FEDS (FEMA)--obviously does not have its thinking cap on.

[rodeodance]

17. when it comes down to it-the FEDS did not take this seriously, then when

some of the horrible pics started coming out, they sprang into action--this action got the military finally out but part of the strategy was to improve the image of the government/bush!

[rodeodance]

19. someone saying we need a public works job!! I am with her--

[qanda]

15. The ignorance is overwhelming

[FormerRepublican]

16. This is a prime example...

...of the sociopathy in the Republican Party I've been talking about in other threads.

[rodeodance]

21. someone 'feels' for the people but where is the mayor?--uck!

[fishnfla]

23. I dont suppose any common sense would be helpful here

the channel markers across the delta are wiped out, folks. Big ships can't get in close to shore or up the river. Where the markers are in place, the storm has formed new sandbars and other hazards

Boaters would understand this, where's 180?
