"He does not have any problems flying in to restore the feeding tube to Terri Schiavo. I'm sure if this happened in some school in Texas and a bunch of white kids were shot down, he would have been there too," Bellecourt said.

btw Clyde Bellecourt is the founder and national director of the American Indian Movement in Red Lake, the reservation where the school shooting occured.

You know, there is a US Senate seat open in 2006 - I think Clyde should run for it!!!

"We are doing everything we can to meet the needs of the community at this tragic time," Bush said one day after calling Floyd Jourdain, chairman of the Red Lake Chippewa tribe, to offer his condolences.



fucking liar!
NOW you are doing 'everything we can to meet the needs of the community?!?!?!"
You have NEVER done SHIT to meet the needs of Red Lake. If you had it might not be one of the worst pockets of poverty and hopelessness in North America.
Of course, if it wasn't so, there might not have been forces at work that so twisted a young man as to kill nine people and then himself.

G.F.Y.!


p.s. Clyde Bellecourt is a very nice fellow but he carries some baggage. Some in the Mn. Native American community don't like him much at all. but as a candidate he could stir the pot some, now that I think of it.

He's a VERY mixed bag. Sometimes his grandstanding is useful, sometimes not.

Btw, AIM was started in Minneapolis (where I lived at the time), and the Bellecourts, Clyde and Vernon are from the White Earth band, not Red Lake. Not sure if the Red Lake people would have invited him to speak for them or not -- he tends to simply insert himself.

Not that his words aren't good in this case, but he's really no hero.

You might want to check Clyde out more thoroughly before endorsing his existence.






Remember that PDB on August 6, 2001? The one entitled "Bin Laden Determined to Strike Inside the United States"? George W. Bush doesn't

it is my impression that many in AIM don't recognize him as thier "spokesperson" and resent some of his "grandstanding".
Certainly his statement here is true. Do the elders at Red Lake appreciate his involvement? I don't know.

For all practical purposes, AIM splintered beyond recognition in the late 1970s.

** "We are doing everything we can to meet the needs of the community at this tragic time," Bush said **

I just picture someone passing out smallpox infected blankets. Bush IS a cowboy, right?


**Dana Perino, a White House spokeswoman, said the president received "regular and full briefings on the tragedy." **

Bush said he never reads the news, so he probably didn't even know it happened!


** "The president's immediate focus was on making sure the federal government was responding to the needs of the community. They were and they continue to do so," she said. ***

Someone needs to contact the people of Red Lake and find out what all these wonderful things are that are being done.

"We are doing everything we can to meet the needs of the community at this tragic time."

Did this come out of some computerised mad-libs-style government bullshit dispenser?

to the tribal leader on Friday.

This is typical for *. He always has to be shamed into doing the right thing.

His advisors really suck, too!!!
