Don't let ANYONE tell you who you can or cannot blame and WHEN you can do
it.

I'll point my finger at WHOEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE.

I'll BLAME WHOEVER I DAMN WELL PLEASE.

AND I'LL DO IT WHENEVER I DAMN WELL WANT TO.

How DARE you motherfuckers try to tell us WHO we can and cannot blame and WHEN we can do it?

Fuck that. Seriously. Take it and shove it up all of your puckered bigoted asses.

I will point my finger and scream "HE'S TO BLAME" in the direction of Fucky McFuckerson for the rest of my natural days and there's not a damn thing any of you heartless assholes can do to stop me.

In fact, when you assholes start whimpering about not blaming certain people, that's when I DAMN WELL KNOW IT'S TIME TO.

And by the way, people who are helping these people can help AND BLAME AT THE SAME TIME.

2. Yes
I'm tired of people saying you can't critize this person or that person. Sorry but I can. If you (or myself) don't like it don't read it! You can do that you know. People should be allowed to vent.

4. They are also talking about how we cannot think about the past &
especially not the future. That means we are not aloud to consider anything. We are supposed to just focus of the 'job that is going on now "to help people"'. Then I guess, Rove will give us the go ahead, & we will be aloud to think like adults once again.

12. Then at that time...
The meme will become "It's no time to GO BACK and place blame for something in the past, time to move on, etc..."

Bush had plenty of quotes and quips about responsibility, the office of POTUS, and the "responsibility" of holding that office BEFORE he became the first POTUS to be "selected" by the SCOTUS. But ever since he took his oath, the term "the buck stops here" has no longer applied.

Bush will go down in history as the "wasn't my fault" or "don't blame me" president.

42. Ted Bundy would still be alive
if we all followed that line of thinking.

Maybe we should just forget about Osama too. That was over three years ago you know.

5. Why not? -- time and place for everything -- the reporting will go on for
indefinitly, Bush isn't going anywhere, the GOP has already said an investigation/inquiry will take place taking this thing apart from day one -- which goes back many years in the Bush administration.

They've gotten away with the cooldown periods for far too long. No justice? No peace! Blame ON!

10. No thanks
You go right ahead and muzzle yourself. I'll go right ahead and lay the blame at the doorstep of those who turned their backs on these people. And that starts with bush and goes right. On. Down. The. Line.

27. Again, I never watched much Twilight Zone.
Your little allusions are not making any sense.

If you have something to say, just spit it out instead of hiding behind vague references to old TV shows.

Or are you afraid to say what you want to say?

21. I saw it. That was misplacing blame.
I don't think people are misplacing blame when they accuse Bush, Homeland Security, and FEMA of not doing what they should have done.

It is not paranoid to think the federal government has FAILED in this rescue effort.

31. Nope...but nice try....my point has nothing to do with who is to blame...
or when to place the blame.

Oh...and quit salivating. Foaming at the mouth is quite unbecoming.

32. Hmm,

my entire face is dry. Lying about someone is quite unbecoming.

So you still refuse to say what your point IS, then?

I don't play these little games. State your point or forget about it.

Let the mob rule. Let our heroes today become our enemies tomorrow. Throw rationality out the window for the satisfaction of feeling good for the moment.

Good night, Monsieur Robespierre. Sleep well, but keep an eye on the mob. They don't trust you either.

34. State your point outright.
Is it possible for you to speak plainly?

You've done a lot of typing for someone who fails to make a single plainly stated point. I don't play "ooo let's figure out what he means" games.

Say it, or don't. You didn't.

23. The Gigli line is the best! and
it makes me think I'd rather have a president IN the Oval Office even if he is getting a blow job than a president who is on a permanent vacation.

As I've mentioned before I finally had it with an ass on my neighborhood discussion list - told him he was a loser b/c he kept insisting on blaming the victims of the hurricane. I'm sick to death of having to act like every opinion is valid because opinions that reduce human beings into waste that shouldn't even be bothered with are WRONG and need to be publically denounced.

25. It was a comment
left at Brad deLong's blog. Brace yourself, this is stupidity turned up to eleven:
You know, It's really sad that americans like you are so quick to jump on the bandwagon and start conversations of impeachment when you yourself have no idea what's actually happening out there. YOUR stupidity rings louder than the actions of the president. Our country has never had to deal with this sort of thing. Hind sight is fifty -fifty. There are alot of things people could have done to help this city before the hurricane. What Fema and the president is facing is so challeging. It's not that they are not allowing the help, they can't get the help in!
What part of NEW ORLEANS is floodoed do these people not understand. And other thing, the people of new orleans need to take responsibilty for there actions in this time of crisis. Instead of worrying about getting out, a lot were making things worse. Wehn you have police people having to worry about looters, people stealuing drugs from the hospitals, getting violent with other victimes, how are they supposed to also then help the organization of evacuees, helping people get in so that these organizations can help.
And another thing. It's not about race! I'm tired as a white person being blamed for our behavior toward blacks. We are all one race that comes from one place. I'm tired of the black organizations caliing all there meetings and making big press releases that only preach about the negativety of our country. If they would get in there and help and work together, they would send out the message to there other fellow blacks and help spread peace. instead they preach negativity, your going to make those people belive that only negetivity works.
GEt off your ass and help rather than hionder! ASSHOLE.

29. You mean there's never been a flood in this country before?
What the hell is FEMA than?

"I'm tired as a white person being blamed for our behavior toward blacks."

Who else does he think we should blame for his behavior?

"There are alot of things people could have done to help this city before the hurricane. "

Yep. Including the federal gov't.

26. For certian things like the investment decissions it is easier to
say someone made a mistake when something actually happened so in some ways that comment is justified. The problem with the disaster is that there was warning and the people in charge did not take the necessary steps to prepare for it. Afterward the response was poor as well. This can be placed on the people in charge.

28. Hindsight needs some slight vision correction, then.
Don't they mean 20/20?

And I'll remember that when their town gets hit by something unexpected and they're the ones yelling for help.

Well, motherfucker, hey hindsight's 20/20, right?

Have a nice day!

40. The assholes found another way to say "don't blame me"
that didn't sound so defensive (weak).

"Don't point fingers," by contrast, is offensive.
