mburbank It's just a well know gold standard fact is all so stop weeping out your vagina, Kevin. If you ask a hundred people on the street who has given out more money at charity each one will tell you it wasn't the liberals. It's just known, simple as that.

Oh and what am I, your lexus nexus? Look it up.

Its very simple to explain why "us conservatives" use cash donations as a measure of one's compassion. Liberals are the ones who always bitch and complain and giving more money and how the government should give more money to the poor, the downtrodden, the blah blah blah. Although, when it comes to actually ponying up money to get to all these "deserving" groups, liberals would rather give someone else's money then open up their own wallets.

Conservatives give money, liberals give speeches. Which is more effective?

A nicely turned phrase, sir!

ziggytrix I'm guessing Vince grew up in a right wing quasi-racist household, so he deserves as much slack as Kanye West.

You're using this to sidestep the issue, that was my point. Nobody really thinks that Kanye fucking West is the leading critical voice on this issue. If you think class and race had nothing to do with this disaster after the disaster, then I think you're a fucking racist. Yep, I played the race card! Woohoo! RACIST, RACIST, RACIST!

And who gives a shit about Kanye performing at Live 8? Oh man, he went out there and performed at a concert with the goal of reminding people about poverty. Whoopdie shit. How much money did he give, or was he too busy sorting through his $2,000 gift basket?

Kanye West comes from a black panther background. He is a product of his upbringing, and much like a lot of people who grow up in certain regions, believing certain things, he thinks things that go off the meter.

Feel free to answer my question at any time.

That's not what we were doing. I was pointing out the irony that in your effort to trash the guy, you linked us an article which basically proves the guy to be a good samaritan.

As for his thoughts on the black panthers, crack, and AIDS-- A lot of people hold quircky little beliefs about history that aren't necessarily consistent with the mainstream. And I would appreciate an answer to my question.

Of course what he said is ridiculous, and it's a good thing for you, too. Once the very sensible denunciations of Bush start to come out over Katrina, you won't have that "crazy rapper guy" to throw off the debate with.

mburbank "I don't blame Bush for this situation. I blame the local and state goverments and the federal organizations for fucking this up."
-Vince


So... wait... who's the boss of the federal orgnizations you blame? Well, Bush is Certoff's boss, and Chertoff is Browns boss, Brown heads FEMA. If FEMA fucked up, I guess it's not really Bush's fault. I mean, Bush doesn't run FEMA. But as a good CEO he should be firing Brown and getting someone who isn't a fuck up in there ASAP. Maybe someone who has some disaster relief experience, since there aren't a lot of Arabian Show Horses in need right now. I guess ol' W was doing just that when he said:

"Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."


And Vinth, see what happens when you talk about fucking Kevins Mom, (As if a Nancy Boy like you could even get it up for anything but a muscle bound Right Wing Blog Writtin' gay escortin' shill) ? He takes the gloves off and pounds you. Which admittedly is not much excercise, but Kevins usually nicer than me you big sack of watery crap. Now get to posting huge mounds of unintentionally hillarious ravings, before someone sets youy on the remains of Trent Lott's Porch, lights you on fire, rings the doorbell and runs.

I know that's hard for you to believe, but it's true.

Quite frankly, I don't care who's fault it is.
Bullshit. You decided from the very beginning that you weren't gonna let them Bush-hatin', 527-types use this to bring down your guy. Of course the local and state governments are to blame, but there's a question of capacity and capability. There was only so much, both budgetary and logistically, that the city of New Orleans could've done for a class 5 storm, for example. That doesn't pardon nagin or any city level incompetence, it simply means that the blame goes all around, perhaps even to the White House.

You claim that there's "more and more eveidence" exonerating Bush. Where is it? Because I've seen Max post some pretty incriminating things, things that make Bush look stupid, unprepared, and insensitive to the situation.

And also, you piece of garbage, be a man for once in your life. When you say " Some blame is also on the people who stayed behind," you mean that YOU blame those who stayed, despite any inability to leave. Remember, the "kiss your ass good bye" sign over the city? So aside from the fact that many who have criticized the evacuation plan noted that transportation failed the poor that day, you still blame those people. Oh, but wait, there's no class issues in America, everybody is equal, and the Bush administration rocks.

You are fucking worthless, and you're ignorant. Was Newt Gingrich simply deflecting liberal criticism, or was he making a valid point about our nation's first-response capabilities? When the president himself ackowledged that there was quite certainly a relief failure here, was he simply playing the "blame game," or was he pointing out legitimate failures?

And as for liberals not caring about helping those effected-- You can go to fucking hell. Americans from all over the spectrum have donated cash, resources, and their time to those effected. The only difference is that conservatives seem really big about proving it somehow, so would you like to show us your receipts, Vince? Planning on a big write-off next year?

Perhaps this was a pre-emptive effort to avoid being put on the FBI list in preparation for the "George Bush hates black people." comment. If he is already considered crazy by them, how dangerous can he really be?

I mean, he appears sincere and I appreciate his empathy but his comments about shooting people by the National Guard? That was in reference to those that have taken advantage of the situation to commit heinous crimes which is actually a small percentage of those that looted. Anyone with any common sense can see that. There is, and always will be a fraction of the community that is criminally-minded and, when given the opportunity afforded by this sort of chaos, the percentage creeps a little bit higher by those who had thought about it but didn't think that they could get away with it under normal circumstances. As for martial law being instated? That amounts to a failure on many government levels to provide a comprehensive plan to get people out of there in an orderly manner. Now, because they hadn't taken the time (or cared to take the time), they are now faced with an escalated problem that could have been nipped in the bud. I'm tired of the "blame game" being tossed around. There were several failures top to bottom. Hindsight is twenty-twenty ... whatever? Why does Florida manage to get through so many hurricanes somewhat successfully? Call the race card and I call bullshit. It's simple topography (poor civil engineering/planning), logistics and taking the threat seriously because they "know the drill", have been through it before and did not scoff at the threat for years.

It can't happen to me. :/

mburbank "Brownie, you're doing a heck of a job."


And Kevin, you ar SO missing the point. This Negro pop star, whatever his name is, with his flakey conspiracy theories and unavoidably blck endorsement of the 'gansta' lifestyle, is totally wrong and only a dispshit liberal fag would listen to him.

ERGO

All future cristicism from any corner is now tainted, or Janefondafied, and shoud only be listened to by dipshit liberal fags.

I don't agree with anything he said, but I gotta give him respect. That took some balls to say, to put his career up like that to get his point across. I doubt that was for publicity.

mburbank look, buddy, violating a contractual agreement means you're a scumbag and you deserve to die. It doesn't matter what for, and he just thought it would get him publicity. How do I know? Easy. I'm actually in his head, and it's horrible, negro-ey space.

KANYE RISKED LEGAL FIGHT TO PERFORM AT LIVE 8

apper KANYE WEST risked legal action to perform at Live 8 in Philadelphia yesterday (02JUL05) - he was threatened with a lawsuit if he appeared.

The JESUS WALKS hitmaker had to cancel other commitments to appear at the awareness concert, which he called "monumental".

West told MTV NEWS, "We had to go through a lot to be here today. I had another performance and they're like, 'There's no way you can be here - you'll get sued if you go to this.'
This sounds like a horrible person.

Hey Vince, out of curiosity, what is your opinion on the Northern War of Aggression?

Source?
Come on, it's Vince. I think we trust him enough that he doesn't need to cite his sources.
