Dems rooting for Gustav?

[Nathans_Dad]

I was surprised to see this, really should make your jaw drop.

This is a video taken of a conversation between Dan Fowler (former DNC President) and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Both were returning from the recent Democratic National Convention.

Judge for yourself:

From the video above:

"The hurricane’s going to hit New Orleans about the time they start. [Chuckle] The timing is — at least it appears now that it’ll be there Monday. That just demonstrates that God’s on our side. [Laughter] … Everything’s cool."

- DNC National Chair Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina

“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven. To have it planned at the same time – that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for day one of the Republican Convention, up in the Twin Cities – at the top of the Mississippi River.”

- Michael Moore

LOL! Wow. Ummmmmm.....you Republican folks kind of need to....how do you say it?......get a fkuking life?

Really? REALLY? That video made you indignant?

8 years of the republican party destroying our country, destroying our standing in the world, rolling back decades of environmental progress, AND THAT VIDEO MADE YOU INDIGNANT?

Please head down to Home Depot and invest in a 'head from pompous a55 extraction unit'.

EDIT: Please note that I reserve the right to sound a more conciliatory tone once the red wine has worn off

I've heard worse things from people flying in coach.

Be careful what you wish for HardDrive. We may be re-visiting this thread in 4 years after the socialist Obama has screwed up the country big time. GWB is a dufus, but there hasn't been a terrorist attack on US soil in the past seven years, unemployment is low, and our standard of living has never been higher. The Great Depression, it is certainly not.

[id10t]

Thing is, before GWB, there were only a couple of terrorist attacks on US soil... the first WTC, and McVeigh...

So what? It's just a joke. No one has ever made a joke in poor taste?

IF a Republican had made it, it would be front page on every paper and on every news channel. Wishing bad things for honest people isn't a good joke. I hope the people of NOLA get to hear this.

Yeah, Don Imus did...what happened to him again?

I honestly cannot believe you are defending someone who is laughing about a hurricane bearing down on the gulf coast, likely to kill or injure hundreds...and this guy is laughing about it because it might score him political points.

What's a few hundred deaths when it helps your political party???

Moore Under Fire for Saying Gustav Proof ‘There Is a God’

Louisiana Rep. Steve Scalise is calling on liberal filmmaker Michael Moore to apologize after he said Friday that the timing of Hurricane Gustav is “proof that there is a God in heaven,” since the storm approaching the Gulf Coast could disrupt next week’s Republican National Convention.
Moore made the remarks to MSNBC’s Keith Olbermann. Republicans have been monitoring the storm’s progress, considering whether to postpone their convention in St. Paul, Minn., if the storm wreaks havoc on the New Orleans area, just three years after Hurricane Katrina.
“I was just thinking, this Gustav is proof that there is a God in heaven,” Moore said. “To just have it planned at the same time, that it would actually be on its way to New Orleans for Day One of the Republican convention, up in the Twin Cities, at the top of the Mississippi River.”
Scalise released a statement Saturday blasting the documentary filmmaker for the remarks.
“I demand an immediate apology from Michael Moore to the people of south Louisiana for his offensive and inappropriate comments,” said Scalise, a Republican. “People in Louisiana, regardless of political affiliation, are making plans to leave to protect their families from this serious storm, and the God I know would not share Michael Moore’s glee for our plight.”
Residents of New Orleans and the surrounding area have to started to evacuate, while the storm strengthened to a Category 4 hurricane.
Moore seemed to back off his statement on air Friday, later saying, “I mean I certainly hope nobody gets hurt. I hope everybody’s taking cover.”

I think P Diddy recently explained the situation...

[drew1]

I have always wondered if Nagin & Blanco didn't screw things up on purpose to blame the Republicans instead of just being corrupt & in competent.

[TGTIW]

I don't think Nagin could be a good enough actor to pull off the kind of insanity he displayed.

McCain supporter Rev. Hagee says New Orleans was punished by god for a gay parade. Maybe Hagee knows why god is punishing New Orleans again?
During the GOP convention? coincidence? Hagee, please fill us in.
