Right Wing NeoCon Fascists Spread Lies About NO Evacutation!! |
Fox's Hume, Wilson take cue from conservative blogs, repeat unfounded claim
that Bush "pleaded" with New Orleans mayor to evacuate city
On the September 5 edition of Fox News' Special Report, host Brit Hume
claimed that New Orleans Mayor C. Ray Nagin had ordered a mandatory
evacuation of the city on August 28 after President Bush "pleaded" with him.
During the same show, Fox News correspondent Brian Wilson repeated the claim,
reporting that Nagin had proceeded with the mandatory evacuation "only after
President Bush insisted that he do so." But while numerous conservative
weblogs had earlier made nearly identical claims, news reports indicate that
Bush called Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco -- not Nagin -- on the morning of
August 28 to ensure that such precautions would be taken. Moreover, Blanco
stated that Bush called "just before" she and Nagin held a press conference
to announce the mandatory evacuation, casting doubt over Hume and Wilson's
suggestion that Bush's phone call triggered the decision to evacuate.
The August 28 press conference began with Nagin's statement that "a mandatory
evacuation order is hereby called for all of the parish of Orleans."
Following Nagin's remarks, Blanco commented on the grave situation facing the
city:
BLANCO: I want to reiterate what the mayor has said. This is a very
dangerous time. Just before we walked into this room, President Bush called
and told me to share with all of you that he is very concerned about the
citizens. He is concerned about the impact that this hurricane would have on
our people. And he asked me to please ensure that there would be a mandatory
evacuation of New Orleans.
Later that morning, the New Orleans Times-Picayune reported that Bush had
called "shortly before" the press conference began:
The governor also said that President Bush had telephoned shortly before
the 9:30 a.m. press conference began. She said Bush said he was "very
concerned about the storm's impact" and urged Blanco and Nagin to order the
evacuation.
The Associated Press reported that Blanco said that Bush had called and
"personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation," but the AP omitted Blanco's
report that he called "just before" the press conference began:
Gov. Kathleen Blanco, standing beside the mayor at a news conference,
said President Bush called and personally appealed for a mandatory evacuation
for the low-lying city, which is prone to flooding.
Four days later, on September 2, the conservative weblog Power Line
highlighted the August 28 AP article under the headline "Why Was New Orleans
Evacuated?" The blog entry claimed that Bush had "prompted the evacuation
order" and concluded that "New Orleans and its residents owe the President a
profound debt of gratitude." Several other conservative bloggers soon picked
up on the story and proceeded to further embellish President Bush's effect on
the decision to evacuate:
* On National Review Online's group blog The Corner, editor Kathryn Jean
Lopez linked to the Power Line entry and wrote that Blanco had said she
ordered the evacuation "only after" the president's phone call.
* In a post at Blogcritics.org, David Flanagan claimed that the order was
the result of a "special request" from Bush.
* Redstate.org excerpted the AP article under the headline "Bush Pleaded
with Nagin, Blanco to Evacuate N.O." and wondered, "God knows what would have
happened had the President not interceded with Gov. Blanco to order a
mandatory evacuation of the city."
The Power Line entry and the AP article continued to circulate throughout the
conservative blogosphere over the weekend. On the Monday night edition of
Special Report, however, despite no further evidence that Bush had spoken
directly with Nagin or that his phone call had prompted the evacuation order,
Hume informed millions of viewers that the president had "pleaded" with the
New Orleans mayor to evacuate the city, and Wilson reported that the order
had come at President Bush's insistence:
HUME: New Orleans' local newspaper, the Times-Picayune, says every FEMA
official should be fired for their, quote, "feeble response to Hurricane
Katrina." And the paper's editors say the aftermath is, quote, "ultimately
the president's failure." But the paper has had nothing but praise for the
performance of New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, finding no fault with his failure
to enforce the mandatory evacuation order he issued last Sunday. That order
was issued only after the director of the National Hurricane Center called
Nagin at home on Saturday night and after President Bush pleaded with the
mayor the next day to evacuate New Orleans in a mandatory way.
[...]
WILSON: In times of natural disaster, government is supposed to work from
the bottom up. Back when Katrina was a Category 5 hurricane roiling in the
Gulf of Mexico, city and county leaders across the Gulf Coast were calling
the shots. Mayor Ray Nagin ordered the mandatory evacuation of New Orleans
just 24 hours before the hurricane hit, but only after President Bush
insisted that he do so.

Mayor Nagin: Gov. Blanco Delayed Rescue
After days of blaming the federal officials for not responding quickly
enough to the Hurricane Katrina crisis, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin praised
President Bush on Monday - and charged that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco
had delayed federal rescue efforts by 24-hours.
"I'm so happy that the president came down here," Nagin said of Bush's
Friday visit to Louisiana in an interview with CNN. "He came down and saw
it, and he put a general on the field. His name is General Honore. And when
he hit the field, we started to see action."
But Nagin had harsh words for his state's leaders, telling CNN: "What the
state was doing, I don't frigging know. But I tell you, I am pissed. It
wasn't adequate."
The New Orleans Democrat said he urged Bush to meet privately with Louisiana
Gov. Kathleen Blanco during the visit. The meeting took place aboard Air
Force One, he said.
After reviewing the crisis with Gov. Blanco, Bush summoned Nagin for a
private chat - where, according to Nagin, Bush explained: "Mr. Mayor, I
offered two options to the governor. I said . . . I was ready to move today.
The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision."
Reacting to the governor's footdragging, Nagin lamented: "It would have been
great if we could of left Air Force One, walked outside, and told the world
that we had this all worked out."
"It didn't happen, and more people died."

Mayor Nagin: Gov. Blanco Delayed Rescue
Why don't you show where this little fabrication came from? It's as phoney
as the unfounded claim that Bush "pleaded" with New Orleans mayor to
evacuate. When Right Wing NeoCon Fascists Spread Lies, they just open a
webpage and start typing. They're so afraid of the truth that they never
show the source of their story because they know it's a lie. They think that
everyone else is like them, a gullible right wing extremist retard who
believes anything he's told as long as it's what he wants to hear.
The idiots believe everything they're told as long as it blames the left and
is written down. If it was on the Internet, that's all the proof they need.

This case has nothing to do with that. Are you really so

on topic. The topic is the celebration that is occurring
because Delay has been indicted.

Who's to Blame for Delayed Response to Katrina?
New Orleans' Emergency Plan Not Followed, Federal Government Slow to Take
Lead
Sep. 6, 2005 - In New Orleans, those in peril and those in power have
pointed the finger squarely at the federal government for the delayed relief
effort.
But experts say when natural disasters strike, it is the primary
responsibility of state and local governments -- not the federal
government -- to respond.
New Orleans' own comprehensive emergency plan raises the specter of "having
large numbers of people ... stranded" and promises "the city ... will
utilize all available resources to quickly and safely evacuate threatened
areas."
"Special arrangements will be made to evacuate persons unable to transport
themselves," the plan states.
When Hurricane Katrina hit, however, that plan was not followed completely.
Instead of sending city buses to evacuate those who could not make it out on
their own, people in New Orleans were told to go to the Superdome and the
Convention Center, where no one provided sufficient sustenance or security.
'Lives Would Have Been Saved'
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin said "80 percent" of the city was evacuated
before the storm hit, but Bob Williams says that's not good enough.
Williams dealt with emergency response issues as a state representative in
Washington when his district was forced to deal with the eruption of Mount
St. Helens in 1980.
"If the plan were implemented, lives would have been saved," Williams said.
There's no question the federal government plays a major role in disaster
relief. But federal officials say in order to get involved, they must first
be asked to do so by state officials.
As one FEMA official told ABC News, Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco failed to
submit a request for help in a timely manner.
Shortly before Katrina hit, she sent President Bush a request, asking for
shelter and provisions, but didn't specifically ask for help with
evacuations. One aide to the governor told ABC News today Blanco thought
city officials were taking care of the evacuation.
Nonetheless, some experts argue that the federal government should have been
more proactive.
"If the city and the state are stumbling or in over their head, then it's
FEMA's responsibility to show some leadership," said Jerry Hauer, director
of public health preparedness at the Department of Health and Human
Services.
Both the president and Congress have vowed to investigate questions of
blame. It may already be safe to conclude that there will be plenty of it to
go around.
ABC News' Dan Harris filed this report for "World News Tonight."

The story blames both FEMA and the Louisana Gov. and doesn't call anyone

Mayor Nagin: Gov. Blanco Delayed Rescue
After days of blaming the federal officials for not responding quickly
enough to the Hurricane Katrina crisis, New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin praised
President Bush on Monday - and charged that Louisiana Gov. Kathleen Blanco
had delayed federal rescue efforts by 24-hours.
"I'm so happy that the president came down here," Nagin said of Bush's
Friday visit to Louisiana in an interview with CNN. "He came down and saw
it, and he put a general on the field. His name is General Honore. And when
he hit the field, we started to see action."
But Nagin had harsh words for his state's leaders, telling CNN: "What the
state was doing, I don't frigging know. But I tell you, I am pissed. It
wasn't adequate."
The New Orleans Democrat said he urged Bush to meet privately with Louisiana
Gov. Kathleen Blanco during the visit. The meeting took place aboard Air
Force One, he said.
After reviewing the crisis with Gov. Blanco, Bush summoned Nagin for a
private chat - where, according to Nagin, Bush explained: "Mr. Mayor, I
offered two options to the governor. I said . . . I was ready to move today.
The governor said she needed 24 hours to make a decision."
Reacting to the governor's footdragging, Nagin lamented: "It would have been
great if we could of left Air Force One, walked outside, and told the world
that we had this all worked out."
"It didn't happen, and more people died."

Since you fail to cite the source of this *****, you might as well be
making it up on your own. Basic right wing dishonesty and an admission of
failure. You guys are such simpletons, you couldn't fool a 12 year-old.
