DO YOU KNOW A CEO W/ A HELICOPTER WHO CAN AIRLIFT IN WATER???
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 12:42 PM by scottxyz
The simple, horrifying truth which is dawning on the country is this:

The Federal government for whatever fucked up reason (incompetence, racism, whatever) is going to let thousands of poor black people on rooftops and overpasses in NOLA die of thirst and hunger live on TV rather than airdrop in some food or water and medical supplies to these people.

The Feds want these people to die. Simple as that. If they wanted to help, they'd be airdropping in water and food and meds by now. This is a dream come true for all the Bell Curvers, Manhattan Instituters, American Enterprise Institute and Heritage fellows. In their racist excitement, they THINK they can blame "Katrina" for killing these black folks - even though Katrina is long gone and the only thing killing these people is the grounded helicopters.

The Feds were in charge of the levee - and the levee burst.

Are the Feds in charge of EVERY SINGLE HELICOPTER and EVERY SINGLE BOTTLE OF EVIAN in the country?

If not, we need to send those helicopters and supplies in ourselves.

If ANYONE knows a rich person who has access to a helicopter, call them up NOW and get them to pick up some crates of WATER and airdrop them to these people. Or if a Senator can authorize a helicopter taking off, get them to do it. This is SENSELESS that people are DYING on TV of THIRST while helicopters and water sit around unused, only a few hours away from these people.

This has to be done TODAY. It will only take a few hours to fly in to NOLA and do this. FEMA has turned out to be another Bush fraud. Waiting for the Feds to help is tantamount to murder now. We have to do this ourselves.

If you don't know a CEO (and who does) call your Senator / Congresspeople. Bush and Chertoff want to KILL these black people and blame it on Katrina. If we don't get them water NOW, they're going to die.

(edited to correct the freudian typo of "air life" to "air lift")

doesn't he even have trump branded ice and water?

come on donny-boy... you have a flair for the dramatic. why don't you and richard bransen do an air lift and get the fox television network to make a tv show out of it?

whatever it takes to get help to those who need it.

4. Have the Feds restricted the airspace over NOLA?



It would be just like them to make things worse with their ineptitude.

6. I was thinking the same thing
How hard is it to load a pallet of water and food onto a helicopter and land it in the street near the Superdome or the Convention Center

7. But all the CEO's
do so much as it is anyway. I mean, they all gave hundreds of dollars to charity last year to save thousands on their taxes. How much more can we really expect out of these downtrodden, tired, and cash-strapped CEO's?? :sarcasm:

8. hey i respect some of these ceo's more than bu$h...
trump even is an outspoken critic of bu$h...

i'd rather him president. yes, really.

remember, trump saved that ice rink in NYC, finishing it under budget and on time. he likes to step in and save the day... i'm surprised he hasn't done something already.

call our congressmen or call trump?

let's do both!
