My response to those who say Mr. Broussard is a "liar"

[texpatriot2004]

I presume that these people are referring to the segment on Meet The Press recently where Tim Russert tried to make a liar out of Mr. Broussard. BTW shame on you Tim Russert, you should be ashamed of yourself for re-traumatizing Mr. Broussard and blindsiding him with the earlier segment, the least you could have done was let him know ahead of time your intentions. I think that the episode aired on September 25th on MSNBC. You can read the transcript at WWW.MSNBC.MSN.COM . I would hardly agree with these people that Mr. Broussard was "proven a liar." I think that is a matter of opinion,and far from fact.

What did Mr. Broussard supposedly lie about? That his friend called his mother instead of the mother calling the friend? Is that is? Is that what these people believe makes him a "liar"? The immoral majority never ceases to sink to new lower levels; what kind of person needs to debate this kind of thing? Since when do we attack people who are traumatized, who have lost more than we can imagine, who are grieving, who are struggling - what kind of human being does that? What kind of human being does that and can't even see how unkind and mean spirited that is? I think the particulars of who called whom are NOT the issue here. I think people who try to make that the issue are missing the point. Furthermore, if we are going to start judging liars, how about we start with the neoconster gang in the White House? They have lied through their teeth, right to our faces for nigh on 5 years now.

1. Right on!

People died in that nursing home because nobody came!
FEMA lied!Still dragging their feet!People still waiting for help!

* lied/lies!

2. Exactly! While the Federal Government lied about help that was

"on the way" and that lying lunatic in the White House did nothing for more than 4 days, the least among us died...from lack of water, from lack of basic medical care or in this case, because help never arrived.

Criminal Negligence is what it is. I will never forget it. Ever.

3. They're

was not one fact to Broussard's crying rant other than the fact that the old lady was dead. It was all made up. He dramatized the whole situation making it look like she had been waiting 5 days for help when in fact she died on the first day.

[HEyHEY]

4. Hey

In such a situation he probably told the story from the pieces he could remember... who's to say he knew the whole story? Misunderstandings happen... it doesn't excuse the crap federal response to this.

And many died on the fifth day I might add

[bluedonkey]

5. They pulled

a man out of his house,alive, 16 FUCKING days after Katrina!

They were leaving our people to drown like rats.
They were turning people who tried to help away at gunpoint!

But,you know what,Mr/Mrs/Ms undeclared,it doen't matter! Next time we know what to expect! NOT A FUCKING THING!

Mr Broussard didn't lie!
