Freepers are calling the tsunami on American Samoa "Obama's Katrina"

[Mrs. Overall]

These people are absolutely nuts.
This is what we are dealing with in terms of right wing extremists (illogical arguments and racism:


Tsunamis devastate American Samoa.
Obama goes to Copenhagen instead.
Why isn't this Obama's Katrina?

Because everyone knows that Obama hates Whitey and America in general. He just doesn’t care either way about the islanders.

Many will take this as racist, but it’s probably close to the truth:
They’re the wrong shade of brown.

A certain irony since one of the big stars of the LA (and Seoul) Olympics is an American Samoan.

Katrina was nothing more than a long line of hysteria induced lies promoted by the msm.

U.S. Coast Guard Brings Help From McClellan to American Samoa

Source: News10ABC

MCCLELLAN AIR PARK, CA -- Members of the U.S. Coast Guard and FEMA experts left from McClellan Air Park at midnight Wednesday to help with disaster efforts in the tsunami-ravaged areas of American Samoa.

They were expected to land in Pongo Pongo Wednesday morning after stopping to change planes in Oahu, Hawaii.

Tuesday night, they loaded gear and supplies onto a C-130 airplane at McClellan Air Park for the trip. While the teams had some quick packing to do, they say this mission is more about brains than brawn.

"They're really going to do an initial assessment," said U.S. Coast Guard Lt. Commander Wes Hester, "They're going to get out and really help the Samoan government figure out what exactly they need and what the U.S. government can do to help."

2. Isn't willful ignorance a wonderful thing? It allows you to make (and believe) the most

preposterous claims in order to justify your lack of understanding of issues and circumstances as well as letting you feel comfortable with your bigotry and prejudices.

[meegbear]

BWAH-HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

:rofl:

How pathetic.

[phantom power]

3. Does that mean they admit Bush's handling of Katrina was bad?

Of course, I jest.

[sinkingfeeling]

4. Somebody needs to point out the FEMA aid has already reached Samoa. Days quicker than NOLA!!

5. Logic and facts are lost on these people

You are obviously a brainwashed socialist agent spreading lies.

:sarcasm:

[redqueen]

10. Like it'd matter? Facts just bounce right off their thick skulls.

They are the all-time-greatest masters of self-delusion.

Remember what Bush said about focusing on the people whom you can fool all the time? He was talking about them.

[Barack_America]

6. Wow. Didn't take that long to turn racist.

Stay classy, freepers.

[RaleighNCDUer]

7. Never mind that FEMA, instead of trying to keep help out of the

area as it did for days in NO, was flying in aid within hours, to a place that most freepers couldn't find on a map.

Could these people be any more disgusting?

[JVS]

8. Is there even any evidece of mishandling this?

These fucks just don't get it.

[Arkana]

12. No, there's no evidence of it--which is why it's NOT Obama's "Katrina".

Obama didn't horribly mishandle this like Bush did with New Orleans.

[treestar]

9. Do they think Samoans are white?

I'm getting confused here. :silly:

[Lucy Goosey]

11. ...awesome.

And yes, they probably think American Samoans are white.

[BumRushDaShow]

13. So what did they think of the GOP's "Hurricane Ike"?

The forgotten Hurricane that devastated Galveston while the repukes were trying to have their convention, forcing them to cut it short. This after their "prayers" that Obama experience "rain of biblical proportions" during his DNC speech.

Galveston is STILL devastated yet few discuss it.

These people are truly evil.

[JVS]

16. LOL. They suck so bad!

[Lucy Goosey]

14. If any of those freepers knew of the existence of American Samoa before the tsunami, I'd be shocked.

Seriously.

[WinkyDink]

15. "flied"? OMG. AND a Katrina Denier at the end.

[Voltaire]

17. As if they gave a fuck about Samoans

that were not girl scout cookies. American Samoans or Samoa Samoans. Fucking jerks.

[pipi_k]

18. Huh? So Obama knew at least four days ahead that a tsunami would strike?

And, knowing that, he took off across the country to strum a guitar and shove birthday cake into his face?


yeah...the similarities are amazing
