Who You Gonna Believe, Me Or Your Lying Eyes?
Rightwingers' New Line: "MSM" Made Katrina Aftermath Up


---
Whew! This actually gets to be hard to follow! The wrong-wingers have been harping on the looting, raping and pillaging alledgedly occurring in NO in the aftermath of the hurricane and when they are proven wrong, then they say that that proves that everything was fine and that the "liberal media" exaggerated the damage that was done!!
Yeah, I know, one has nothing to do with the other, but that's the way their "logic" (and I use the term extremely loosely!) works!
Obviously, the hurricane caused horrific conditions for the people that bush abandoned while he partied, ate cake and played guitar on his vacation. People were subjected to inhumane treatment and downright ignored while living through unimaginable devastation. The fact that the rumors of rape and murder were at least exaggerated does not mitigate what they went through do to government negligence.
Man, they will try anything to blame anyone but themselves!
