3. It's not logical b/c it is a fallacy meant to turn the US against N.O.

It made it a lot easier for the country to hate the victims, if they convinced them this would never happen to them.

Even many Dems have swallowed this line. It worked, because nationally, like always, the Dems did not have our back. They turned tail and ran from the situation. They did this b/c they saw the R's were succeeding in turning public opinion against New Orleans.

The other reason, is b/c the DLC believes in all the same anti-government talking points the R's used Katrina to help advance.
