Hope you post regularly, I'd like to read more. 
I've been doing a lot of reading this last week, especially in the blogosphere, and I've noticed a disproportionately large number of articles containing dumber than usual comments by liberals. So I thought I'd share.
"Now we are all learning what it's like to reap the whirlwind of fossil fuel dependence which Barbour and his cronies have encouraged," read Kennedy's post on Ariana Huffington's anti-Bush website. The eco-evangelist went on to suggest to his disciples that God may have been offended by a memorandum Barbour -- former Chairman of the Republican Party -- had written to President Bush about flaws in the United Nations Kyoto Protocol on global warming. "Perhaps," Kennedy wrote, "it was Barbour's memo that caused Katrina, at the last moment, to spare New Orleans and save its worst flailings (sic) for the Mississippi coast."
He kind of sounds like those nutjob jihadists who think the hurricane was part of their jihad. Maybe Bob and Osama can get together and duke it out over which of them has the greatest right to lie about God for personal gain when it comes to this American tragedy.

... Monica Jackson, ever the race card playing liberal racist, finally took a moment to quit bitching about race to bitch about everyone who points a finger of fault at the New Orleans and Louisana governments.
"What I’m seeing on conservative media and blogs is frenzied shifting of blame. They are trying to deflect blame away from FEMA and the President and focus on the mayor and the governer for not evacuating.
"It’s ridiculous. Where would they have taken this hundred thousand or so people they were supposed to take the initiative to load on school buses and get out of New Orleans? Where would they have gotten the millions, no billions, of dollars for the means to facilitate this? When do they evacuate 100K people every time? How? Where? With what money? There is no way a mayor could marshall the resources to evacucate 100K poor people ahead of a natural disaster."
Heh. Monica, read New Orleans' own emergency plan. It spells it out pretty plainly. I'll translate it for you, rather than making you take the time to read the 45 page document online.
The MAYOR of New Orleans is directed to use all buses owned by the city - including school buses - to transport those without transportation, as well as the sick and elderly, the hell out of the city. He's even allowed to use privately owned buses. He had at least 2 days after they knew it was going to be at least a category 4 hurricane and before the storm landed.
Check out these buses, Monica. Look at the 200 plus buses the mayor of New Orleans had at his disposal, and REFUSED to even attempt to use. Had he made but 1 trip 60 miles outside the city, with each bus loaded, that would have been 14,000 poor people in New Orleans saved by the mayor. 2 trips (surely doable in 2 days) 60 minutes west of the city, that would have been 28,000 poor people saved. 3 trips would have been 42,000 people. And so on. And the buses wouldn't have been sitting in water like they are now, and that would have saved the city a shitload more than the cost of gassing up those buses to transport the valuable human lives he simply directed to the domes for a few days of hell.

What about the governor of Louisiana, Monica? Bush had to CALL her and BEG HER to declare a state of emergency (she admitted this). Bush slow to respond? What sort of governor needs to be told to declare a state of emergency when a hurricane of this magnitude is approaching?
Learn your law, Monica. The state has to first declare the state of emergency and request help from the federal government (because it is the state's responsibility first and foremost to handle emergencies, which makes sense). It works that way for EVERY state. Other states seem to be able to handle this simple plan when disaster strikes. Why couldn't Louisiana's governor manage a simple declaration of emergency and a phone call to Washington to ask for help?
And why couldn't she dispatch the Louisiana National Guard to New Orleans BEFORE the hurricane hit so they could help evacuate people?
Come on, Monica, admit it. You'll say anything if you think you can bash white people or Republicans or President Bush. What's sad is that you will continually mislead your readers to serve your own racist and liberal agenda, even to the point of outright lying.
Hey, I'll admit, FEMA needs some work. But FEMA's role is as support to states in crisis. Not as the sole management of the crisis. Yet Louisiana's corrupt politicians have done little more for their state and city than stand around and bad mouth the feds for not doing the Louisiana government's job, while taking every possible photo op and chance to be on television.
Yeah, these are your people, Monica (and before you get your racist panties in a racist bunch, that wasn't a racial comment - I'm not talking about blacks here, I'm talking about liberals who are full of it).

A stellar quote from Randall Robinson on Ariana Huffington's site (we can always count on her to deliver the most bizarre bullshit):
"It is reported that black hurricane victims in New Orleans have begun eating corpses to survive."
An outright fucking lie. He made it up. All on his own. No one but Robinson claimed this - not the hurrican survivors, not the military, not the relief workers, not even the supposedly racist whites who might have actually had something to gain by such a grotesque lie. Of course, once the outcry of "LIAR!" could be heard clear into Robinson's livingroom, he retracted the lie.
This is a man who brags about all he does for blacks, yet this one quote shows his goal is not to uplift blacks and make them self-sufficient. It is to keep them separate in all ways from whites, because it suits HIS purposes. Note that it was only blacks supposedly canabilising, according to Robinson.
If you were silly enough to buy what he was selling, then you could only assume white victims were simply going hungry, rather than eating the sewage soaked decayed flesh of the dead that floated in the toxic waters of New Orleans.
Robinson's the guy who expects reparations for blacks because of slavery.
Yep, Robinson wants MY money - even though my ancestors never owned a slave. In fact, my ancestors, the IRISH, were treated worse than the black slaves in America. Plantation owners valued their slaves that they paid cold hard cash for. Not so with the Irish. The Irish were hired to do the labor too dangerous for the black slaves to do - labor that was so dangerous that it was more likely the laborer would die than collect a check. So bring in the lowly Irish, because the dumb shits were willing to do the unthinkable to earn a living and feed their families, while the plantation owners got tons of free labor because so many of the Irish died while working for them that they didn't have to cut a paycheck.
Yep, Robinson wants MY money - even though I've never owned a slave.
Robinson wants MY money for the 100 years after slavery ended that blacks were still treated like second class citizens - even though I was born well after the civil rights movement.
Robinson can kiss my white ass.
Reparations will never happen in this country the way he'd like to see it. Not only because there are too many whites who'd vote against it, but because there are too many self- respecting blacks who'd vote against such a dumb policy. And reparations have already happened, in that laws were enacted to give modern day blacks a helping hand that their ancestors didn't get then and whites don't get now. It's called affirmative action, it's called scholarship awards based on race, it's called all the minority programs that have benefited the black community, and it's called being able to say stupid, racist shit without any backlash just because you're black and you get a free pass for it because your ancestors were slaves and therefore, apparently, you're entitlted to say stupid, racist shit.
Robinson is a racist. THAT is his only real legacy.
Robinson is so extremely racist, he almost makes Monica Jackson look like a moderate racist.
A note to Robinson and Jackson: get a clue - you're doing more to perpetuate racism with your racist comments than you are doing to allieviate it. You don't win over hearts and minds by biting the people whose hearts and minds you want to win.
No link here, because I won't link to the Huff-meister's website on principle.
Amanda Marcotte from Pandagon (Monica Jackson's prime source for racist and inane bullshit) wrote an editorial on September 3rd that she entitled: "Dear racist fucks who complained about looting:"
Sorta like the racist fuckpot calling the rest of society racist, isn't it?
The editorial surrounds the situation with Jabbor who commandeered a bus and took 100 people safely out of New Orleans - something the fine mayor of New Orleans couldn't manage.
Every conservative blog that I've seen mention this young man PRAISED him. It was your liberal media that suggested he was looting. It is the liberal and corrupt government of New Orleans who would be in charge of arresting and prosecuting him.
My own blog, for example, from my post on September 6th had this to say:
The media - who Monica Jackson insists on referring to as "conservative", when in fact the media is decidedly liberal and always has been - called a young black man (a boy, really) a LOOTER because he got on a bus ignored by the mayor of New Orleans and drove more than 100 people to safety.
LOOTER? A looter is a THIEF. Someone who, during a crisis, steals for their own personal gain (like the assholes stealing Nike tennisshoes or jewelry or guns while New Orleans drown). This young man - Jabbor Gibson - is a HERO.
He didn't get on the bus and drive himself out. He got it loaded beyond capacity and drove more than 100 people to safety.
It's a shame the mayor of New Orleans couldn't have done as much to save the people of the city.
I found this info thanks to Holly Lisle in one of her blog postings http://hollylisle.com/writingdiary2/index.php/2005/09/03/english-for-reporters-101/
And really, was it racist? Just because Jabbar is black doesn't mean that that's why the media referred to his taking the bus as looting. This is merely a case of a nearly illiterate Liberal media not knowing how to define "looting", and since it was the catch term of the day, they used the word without bothering to look it up.
That makes the media STUPID. Not racist.
Maybe YOU have difficulty understanding the difference between taking food and water to survive (or even a school bus) and stealing a flat screen TV or 6 pairs of Nikes and taking them back to your hovel.
Jabbor is a hero. That kid rocks.
Looters who stole luxury or entertainment items or guns are simply thieves. No excuses for them. Being black and poor is not a pass to be a criminal, even in a crisis.
Jabbor was right to do what he did, and if there's any attempt to punish him for his act of heroism, you can bet white conservatives are going to be paying for his attorney and raising a stink (they've already started thinking of ways to reward this young man). The thugs that turned New Orleans into a criminal playland were wrong and should be prosecuted.
Here's Amanda's profound quote in her editorial, written with so much love for her fellow man (because, you know, she expects that of everyone er, Republicans and whites, but Liberals and blacks in her book get a pass on kindness as long as their hate is targeted at whites and Conservatives).
"And as for the racist fucks behind this foot-dragging and lying and all those that support them, I hope that when you get to hell, after you've been greeted nicely by Satan and checked in by Ronald Reagan, your punishment is to be drowned over and over and over again until you fucking realize that suffering is suffering, no matter what race or class or ethnicity the people suffering are."
Can you feel the LOOOVE?
She continues: "This entire situation isn't "raising questions" about race in America. It's answering them."
Yes, Amanda, dear, it is. In the last week, I've learned that while whites and Republicans are pitching in and doing everything in their power and working alongside blacks and sane Democrats to help people, any question I may have had about racism towards whites by a certain segment of the black community has been answered loud and clear, as has any question I may have harbored in regard to the lengths certain Democrats will go to politicize, even at the expense of those who have endured such a tragedy.

As always, Jesse Jackson can be counted on for a dumb quote:
"It is racist to call American citizens refugees," the Rev. Jesse Jackson said, visiting the Houston Astrodome on Monday. Members of the Congressional Black Caucus have expressed similar sentiments.
You guys are nuckin' futz. A refugee is someone who flees their home for refuge elsewhere. Who in their right mind can dispute that the hurricane victims left their homes and sought refuge to keep them safe? And then sought refuge to sustain them until they could find a way to get their lives back together?
And how in holy hell is it RACIST to use the term refugees, when it has been applied to EVERYONE, regardless of color.
Even if the term did not apply (which I think it does), at worst, it's just another example of the media not using their dictionary. Crying racist in this case makes it look like Jackson has run out of creative ways to get his face in the media.
Bugger off, Jesse. Your blatantly racist retoric is way beyond getting old, and makes you sound like little more than an irritating sound bite.
There's other dumb things that have been said recently by Liberals - these were just some of the dumbest.
Notice how most of the assinine things being said revolve around race? So sad that racists will use trumped up charges of racism to perpetuate their hate.
