Propaganda from Maddow Caller

[K-W]

Trying to put this all on the mayor of New Orleans.

First she critisizes him for not doing enough. Then when Maddow plays him screaming for help the caller says its just "political posturing"

After everything Maddow says, the caller brings it back to the mayor.

My favorite doublespeak:

At one point the caller says that they cant control New Orleans on regular nights.

At another point the caller says that the mayor could have brought this under control on monday by sending in forces.

1. Who is this person

And why is Rachael Maddow giving her an entire segment??

[Ninga]

2. Julia Reed is the name and I am still stunned at the lack of response from

Maddow and at the end of the segment Maddow THANKED her!!

Good grief, is it me???????? Did I hear what I thought I heard????

3. That's the latest right-wing talking point being sent to the ever

decreasing sheep. I have noticed the same pathetic meme showing up on DU this morning with the same points. It's about as 'coincidental' as bush showing up at the same time as the relief trucks.

[K-W]

4. Oh, and she made a major point of focusing on thugs.

She said that all the real victims went to the dome and the people in the wealthier neighborhoods are all thugs with guns enjoying the wealthy peoples homes.

I cant imagine that is a balanced description of the situation.

5. I heard it.

And it made me sick. That's it....blame it all on the evil black people and their crack for the delayed relief. The only person the caller didn't accuse of wrongdoing is Bush. Telling, dontcha think?

Is the mayor of NO black, as well? I really did get the impression of racism in that caller, but who am I to say?
