Nagin rules. I love how Sean Hannity totally edited his speech to make him sound anti-white.
It's like..."How DARE this BLACK MAN speak in the name of god!" (cuz we all know only good old white bush can do that and not get flack for it right?)
Nagin: God mad at America
Mayor Ray Nagin suggested that recent destruction from hurricanes Katrina, Rita and other natural disasters is a sign that "God is mad at America," and also mad at black communities for tearing themselves apart with violence and divisive politics.
"Surely God is mad at America. He sent us hurricane after hurricane after hurricane, and it's destroyed and put stress on this country," Nagin said as he and other city leaders commemorated Martin Luther King Day. "Surely he doesn't approve of us being in Iraq under false pretenses. But surely he is upset at black America also. We're not taking care of ourselves."
Joking that he may appear to have "post-Katrina stress disorder," Nagin, who is black, talked of an imaginary conversation with the late civil rights leader. They "talked," he said, while he was thinking Monday about what to say at the ceremony outside City Hall to kick off a walking parade in King's honor.
"I said, 'What is it going to take for us to move on and live your dream and make it a reality?' He said, 'I don't think that we need to pay attention any more as much about other folks and racists on the other side.' He said, 'The thing we need to focus on as a community -- black folks I'm talking about -- is ourselves."'
Nagin told the crowd that he also asked, "Why is black-on-black crime such an issue? Why do our young men hate each other so much that they look their brother in the face and they will take a gun and kill him in cold blood?"
The reply, he said, was, "We as a people need to fix ourselves first."
A day earlier, gunfire had erupted at a traditional second-line walking parade to commemorate King's birthday. Three people were wounded in the shooting in broad daylight amid a throng of mostly black spectators, but police at the scene said there were no immediate suspects or even witnesses.
Nagin said King would not have worried less about those committing crimes than about the good people who knew what was right but lacked the courage to do it.
"It's time for all of us good folk to stand up and say we're tired of the violence. We're tired of black folks killing each other," Nagin said.
Nagin also recounted his disappointment with state and federal officials in the days after Katrina, wondering what King would have thought at the sight of so many people stranded at the Louisiana Superdome and the city's convention center for days after the storm, stuck in sweltering heat and lacking adequate food, water and bathrooms.
And, he said, King would have been disappointed at police in suburban and predominantly white Gretna, who turned back people who tried to walk across the Mississippi River bridge in the days after Katrina. Nagin once again accused Gretna officers of using attack dogs and machine gun fire in the air to turn people back, although Gretna officials have disputed that.
But Nagin also said King would have been dismayed with black leaders who are "most of the time tearing each other down publicly for the delight of many."
"Dr. King, if he was here today, he would be talking to us about this problem. The problem we have among ourselves," Nagin said.
What if Mayor Hardberger said something like this but it was about whites?

Violet Palmer is a good ref.
Anymore drooling re ed statements you wanna make there?
Tpark is so cute when he's sarcastic. I want to take him riding.
Yeah, give me one reason Nagin sucks. Why do portly neocons like yourself get your panties in a bunch when a black guy says he speaks the word of god?
Bush himself wrote a book called "On God and Country" and has claimed to speak the word of God on countless occasions.
Oh wait, he's neocon too. And he's white.
I think Nagin was silly to say all these things but the flack he's getting is stupid too.
Bush is white? Nagin is black? Who gives a ? Racists do.
The man claims to speak in the name of god and its hypocritical for people to flame him when they let it slide every time bush does it.
He flat out said the war was fought under false pretenses, which has been shown the world over to be a FACT.
Coincidence that most people who hate this guy are neocon?
He has made some mistakes but so has everyone else still holding office. Why single him out?
I like Strawberry Milk better.
false pretenses. TRUE.
but still necessary and still worthy. ALSO TRUE.
Miss that whole hurricane thing?Yeah, give me one reason Nagin sucks
Digging and looking much??Why do portly neocons like yourself get your panties in a bunch when a black guy says he speaks the word of god?
I could care less what he says.
Bush doesn't speak on behalf of god, he never says "God is mad" or "God is ecstatic"
But your childish blind socialist hate won't let you see that.
Yeah, that whole, freeing opressed people sucks, we get it.the war was fought under false pretenses, which has been shown the world over to be a FACT.
T Pork doesn't care about black people.
If Bush had said these things, youd be giving him flack.I think Nagin was silly to say all these things but the flack he's getting is stupid too.
YOu give Bush flack for every other thing he says.
Can't be "balanced" on critique can we?
Once again, in typical neocon fashion, an evasive answer, and a quick finger point. Yall are so typical.
The hurricane thing was not entirely his fault, yet you only flame Nagin. Hmm, wonder if he had a (R) next to his name what you'd be saying about him.
Bush has mentioned the will of god several times in reference to the war in iraq.
I don't?T Pork doesn't care about black people
News to me...
Name one thing Bush has said that I have criticized other than the fact that he purposely led us to war on false assumptions and stupidly refused to acknowledge this until every common american already knew.
I do criticize him about that all the time. Yet somehow in your world you see me blindly criticizing and giving you elusive answers. You're the one doing that.
Id say hes a Kook who ed up during a hurricane.Hmm, wonder if he had a (R) next to his name what you'd be saying about him.
Just like Brown did.
nothing evasive about it.Once again, in typical neocon fashion, an evasive answer, and a quick finger point
And if you don't like truth, then go bury your head in the sand spanky.
God isn't punishing the US.
God isn't punishing Black People.
It's 2006, when are bitter people like Nagin going to move on with life?
whaaa whaat? A neocon evaded the point and fingerpointed to avoid attention to himself?
wha whaaaat? Never seen that happen...unless you count the past 3 times you just did that.
False pretenses. Notice the prefix "Pre" before the "tenses"
Oh so you don't know of me criticizing bush on "everythign he says" like you accused me of?
Oh so you were basically talking out of your ass?
The.Name one thing Bush has said that I have criticized
I.
We,
Pretty much everything.
