AS IF THE PEOPLE IN NEW ORLEANS HAVE NOT SUFFERED ENOUGH, HERE COMES JESSE JACKSON STRAIGHT OFF THE PRIVATE JET OWNED BY HUGO CHAVEZ TO START A RACE RIOT IN THE DEVASTATION.
Today, as the President comes to Louisiana, Alabama and Mississippi for his ceremonial trip to look at the victims of the devastation, he would do well to have a plan more significant than a ceremonial tour,” Jackson said Friday.
“His whole response is unacceptable.”
Bush has acknowledged that the federal response has not been acceptable, but promised that the government would get supplies to survivors and crack down on violence in New Orleans.
Jackson questioned why Bush has not named blacks to top positions in the federal response to the disaster, particularly when the majority of victims remaining stranded in New Orleans are black: “How can blacks be locked out of the leadership, and trapped in the suffering?”
“It is that lack of sensitivity and compassion that represents a kind of incompetence.”
U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Russell Honore, head of the military task force overseeing operations in the three states, is black. His task force is providing search and rescue, medical help and sending supplies to the three states in support of the Federal Emergency Management Agency.
And, there’s more…
The civil rights leader said the flooding that caused thousands to be trapped inside the city was caused by a lack of federal funding for its levee system and hurricane planning. The resulting tragedy, he said, has largely hit New Orleans’ black residents, because they were too poor to evacuate before the storm hit.
“There’s a historical indifference to the pain of poor people and black people” in this country, he said.
Jackson also said the news media has “criminalized the people of New Orleans” by focusing on violence in the city.
And, there you have it.
Just, like that… Jesse starts a race war in flooded, hurricane-ravaged city! From propping up communists, to starting race riots, what a full week for Jesse!
** The Republican’s mistake once again was to believe that the leftists would concentrate on helping these poor people when they were just scheming once again on how to attack the president. However, this attack from Jesse Jackson during this colossal crisis is a whole new low! **
Alenda Lux adds that the tiresome blaming New York Times is beating their Bush-hating drum today.
California Conservative is also disgusted with Jesse’s attempt to trigger a race riot during this crisis.
