The Blame America Crowd Rolls Up Its Sleeves and... Blames America--UpdatedWhile the conservative blogosphere was rolling up their sleeves and exhorting their readers to contribute to charitable organizations, the big liberal blogs and their synchophants in the media are doing what they do best: Blaming America.
Arthur Chrenkoff has a
roundup of idiocy at his blog.
I do disagree with him about #6 though:
Germany said on Wednesday the United States was partly to blame for record oil prices and should look to extend its refining capacity after Hurricane Katrina wreaked havoc at U.S. refineries, hitting output.That's absolutely dead on the money and I don't see it as insensitive or uncharitable.
Hat Tip:
LucianneMeanwhile, the
Ankle-Biters point us to this
compendium of lunacy.
And Michelle Malkin
has more. Note particularly this
bottom-feeder:
After I managed to get the candy bar's bar code to fit perfectly over the little laser and figured out how the machine worked so I could waste twice the time it would normally take me to buy a candy bar, an employee approached me and said, "Would you like to give a dollar for Hurricane Katrina?"
I said, "No."
First off, I'm offended that the store employees are wandering around fundraising instead of helping customers, especially when it's so obvious that the store conglomerate uses these do-it-yourself machines to cut down on the number of employees necessary to help customers so that the store conglomerate can turn a larger profit while having fewer of those pesky union workers to deal with.Well, if you kept them busy taking contributions, the store would have to hire more employees, right? And second, this loser didn't have any money to begin with; probably using his food stamps to buy that candy bar.
Update: Greg Gutfeld
takes a cluebat to the rest of the Huffers.
Additional National Guard members were ordered to combat looting that has erupted at the Huffington Post today. The troops have already witnessed brazen incidents of criminality since the disaster began, as Huffposters gleefully sift among gnarled wreckage and corpses to find any blunt or broken object to swing at an administration they detest. "Looters are grabbing whatever they can to make themselves look smart, and make Bush look or feel bad," Greg Gutfeld said in a telephone interview, hiding under his desk.Rick Moran
contrasts the charitable nature of the Right-wing blogs versus the blame Bush crowd on the Left. The Commissar posts a
handy-dandy table of reactions.
Let me mention here that I'm on Howard Dean's Democracy for America mailing list, and the silence from that quarter speaks volumes.
