100,000 people dead.. maybe more.. trying to equate this to the underpants bomber
is ludicrous.

People and News outlets have to be confronted on this.

The latest meme that the President got in front of the microphones faster with the Earthquake than with the underoos bomber.

Well heck yeah.

I don't even need to do a reminder of how it took Bush 6 days to respond to the shoe bomber.,

PEOPLE ARE DYING.. and some can be saved!

Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, and everyone who even begins to do that, is getting a letter from me, and a writing campaign from everyone that I know in real time.

1. The fruit of the boom bomber was a Muslim
The RW idiots are terrified of Muslims. Haiti is just a bunch of black people who should have built better housing. And if I need it, :sarcasm:

3. The magnitude
The magnitude of the two events is like comparing the Black Plague of the middle ages with having your dog eat your homework.

Utterly absurd at every possible level to make such a comparison.

But, that's what you can expect from people that have no basic sense of decency.

5. plagiarize
Just plagiarizing Joesph N. Welch from the McCarthy hearings of the mid fifties.

That one line brought McCarthy down and ended his political career.

7. They also lack any sense of humanity. They cannot see beyond their own little lives and fears
They are also racist slobs.

11. How many days did Bush take to respond to Hurricane Katrina?
That's a better comparison.
