"FDR" wrote in message I don't
hear anything about showing hurricane victims. Wouldn't the liberal
media be doing that if it were so?


Heres what I read and my point is the liberals were all against showing
images of 9/11 but now that they think theres an angle to help them
politicly they want to show pics of the the poor victims of Katrina. Talk
about hypocrites!

MoveOn.Org Anti-John Roberts Ad Politicizes Katrina Victims
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

The left-wing advocacy group MoveOn.Org is set to run a campaign style
commercial aimed at stopping federal Judge John Roberts' confirmation as
chief justice. Mark Memmott of USA Today writes that the group will use
televised images of "poverty-stricken evacuees from Hurricane Katrina" as
part of a "provocative, last-minute effort" to derail Roberts' nomination.

No surprise there, liberals have attempted to exploit the victims of this
tragedy since day one of the storm.

"The connection is obvious," Ben Brandzel, the group's advocacy director
said. "The images after Hurricane Katrina show we still live in a society
where significant racial inequities exist. We believe John Roberts' record
on civil rights ... is clearly not the direction our country needs to head
now."

Memo to MoveOn.Org: The images come from the liberal utopia of New Orleans.

New Orleans is run by Democrats, and the result is way too many people
living in poverty waiting for their next government check. Black and white.

Liberalism and the results of the policies of that type of thinking are on
full display in Louisiana and it's a sad picture.

MoveOn.Org will try to blame conservatives for that--but if yesterday's
Gallup poll is accurate, they are only playing to the echo chamber of the
sad, angry 13 percent.

That's not going to stop the Roberts' nomination, but I suspect the real
goal is to raise more money from the angry left. (Soon to be re-named the
angry 13%?)

"It is sickening that some in Washington would politicize a national
tragedy," said Sean Rushton, executive director of the conservative group
Committee for Justice.

Sickening indeed, but expected.
