The Man Be Keeping Me Down

New Orleans was destoyed by George Bush protecting rich white people, according to Daily Kos contritutors brenda and boingboing:
10:57 Raw transcript of comments by NOLA evacuee Clara Barthelemy: "The 17th street levee was bombed by the Army Corps of Engineers to save the more valuable real estate in the city... to keep the French Quarter protected, the ninth ward was sacrificed... people are afraid to speak out... everyone who was near there heard the bombings... they bombed seven times. That's why they didn't fix the levees... 20 feet of water. Gators. People dying in water. They let the parishes go, not the city center. Tourist trap was saved over human life. A six year old girl was raped in here.. 9 year old boy killed. A man in the shower beaten. No hot food. No help for elderly."
And surf over to The Anchoress for similar stupidity.

Carl, the truth is, it actually has been done in the past. Two other times, the 9th ward has been flooded delibertaly in order to save the more well to do parts of the city with the express promise that that sectino of town would be rebuilt. I don't think there is any truth to it being done this time, but I think you could understand how people would be suspicious.

Maybe I missed something. I went to "Anchoress" and she seems to be right on. Are you attempting to appear to be even handed and 'moderate'? Is so you need to find views that are bizarre. DailyKos is clearly a good place to start. However pointing out commonesense post on "right wing" blog is telling. You clearly lean to the left, and are merely attempting to appear evenhanded. You appear hypocritical.
