I knew it was coming, but it still appalled me when it came: Organizing Notes: RICH GET OUT – POOR LEFT BEHIND.
The tragedy in New Orleans is a warning sign. Put your ear to the railroad tracks and hear the train coming. See how the working class and the poor will be treated as our economy begins its collapse. Jobs are moving out of America. Scientists are now saying, that because of global warming, the hurricanes in the future will be more severe because the oceans are becoming warmer and this causes hurricanes to increase in ferocity. So there will be more devastations [sic] like New Orlenas [sic] in the future. Open you [sic] eyes and see what is going on. You might be next.
In the meantime we are blowing YOUR TAX DOLLAR$ [sic] on a war for oil in Iraq. Star Wars research and development is eating up tens of billions of YOUR TAX DOLLAR$ [sic] every year. It’s your future we are talking about here.
In a way, though I’m actually impressed. Wreckage was still falling from the sky when he exploited the victims of the Columbia disaster to make cheap and stupid political points — he actually managed to wait four whole days to do the same to the victims of Katrina.
Funny that someone so concerned about how the poor are being treated and how the government has no money to respond to the crisis has himself done nothing to assist relief efforts beyond stoking class resentment and writing sniveling little marxist missives.
UPDATE: Looks like Mr. Gagnon has decided to stifle dissent at his weblog by disabling comments. I can’t blame him — it’s easier than actually engaging in a discussion about your asinine opinions.
