Fowler Fouls: Hurricane is God’s Favor to Democrats

Plus, it's totally funny!

By: Caleb Howe (Diary)  |  August 30th, 2008 at 01:17 PM  | 

RESIZE: AAA

UPDATE (see below for SC GOP Statement)

On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats’ convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least.

For example, they made fun of Sarah Palin for several minutes, Fowler calling her “Dan Quayle” on steroids and Spratt creatively describing her as “just terrible.” They both agreed that, “Other than the simple fact that she’s a female,” she has nothing to offer.

Then there was this gem of a moment from Fowler:

So you see, it’s funny. That New Orleans will get a hurricane. That’s funny because it is due to hit when President Bush is scheduled to speak. Isn’t that cool? Fowler isn’t the only one who thinks so, just ask Michael Moore.

We all know Democrats used and use Katrina as a political football as callously as possible. Here’s a candid moment showing some can hardly wait for another one.

All Class.

BREAKING: Statement from SCGOP Chairman Katon Dawson

“The outrageous behavior of two of the Obama campaign’s highest profile supporters in the south is despicable, a cynical politization of life and death. I call on Barack Obama to immediately denounce Fowler and Spratt and demand sincere apologies from these members of the Democratic leadership.”

    back one week?

    If our GOP governors manage the storm well, we can tout that the following week at the convention.

    If the storm goes bad, at least we have time to adjust the convention accordingly.

    Trying to do this while the storm is going on is insanity.

  • E_Pluribus_Unum

    And they are foul, cynical, hateful monsters. I am highly amused that they aren’t even smart enough to see what a devastating move the Palin VP pick is.

    So add STUPID to the list of things they are in their candid moments.

  • Mord

    When McCain gets elected, he should reward the peopele who created YouTube.com for single-handedly under-cutting the liberal media and bringing tranparency and forcing honesty on American politicians. I think YouTube will be the main thing that keeps democrats from taking back the WH this year.

    • E_Pluribus_Unum

      Hotel reservations, airline reservations, events are scheduled in those venues well in advance (so there’s probably rock concerts in that hall the next week, maybe rodeos, technical conventions, etc.) Thousands of individual delegates and otehr people have scheduled vaction time to go there.

      It is simply not possible.

      • Mord

        Doing as you suggest would backfire big-time.

        • savings

          I agree, that would never work.

  • poultond

    I live in Spratt’s District and I’m making sure that the local Talk Radio get’s their hands on this.

  • Rod_Patrick

    It will be the first time in our history that our Republican Convention shall be turned into a form of community services to those areas that will be adversely affected by the hurricane. Instead of speeches and attacks, we can celebrate McCain’s nomination by helping people in time of need. The Convention will become nationwide, involving Preparations against the said calamity.

    That’s 1000 times better than the rockstar concert in feel-good-for-nothing Denver Convention.

  • PhxG

    Reveling in the misery of others. Typical response of the party that despises the American people.

    • gclaghorn
      • zuiko

        There’s no way you can move an event like this with a few days notice. This stuff was all booked 18-12 months ago. The next several day long opening available at Xcel is probably at the beginning of 2010… might be a little late for a convention.

  • gclaghorn

    …that Michael Moore called a hurricane striking the RNC “proof there is a God in Heaven.”

    • PhxG

      How about the audacity of these people to believe to know with certainly what God is planning.

      What if God wants New Orleans removed from existence?

    When they think nobody is watching, they’re really not scared by this VP pick.

    So without calling you out for recording people when they don’t know they’re on camera and using the words of grown-ups speaking to grown-ups (which is when Dems abused Cheney and his dirty mouth on the Senate floor, don’t lower yourself to that level) here is my question:

    We can look over the very, very short list of “facts” that we know about Palin, and watch the few minutes of on-camera interviews that actually exist of her, and pray that she turns out to be a good candidate. Or why not stand up for what the party wants- and have proven with their primary votes- like the HRC supporters at the DNC and push for a McCain/Huckabee ticket, or McCain paired with any ESTABLISHED conservative leader?

    McCain has thrown away the “chemisty” argument behind a VP pick by picking somebody he had met only one single time EVER, and he has thrown away the “experience” argument by picking somebody without any. They’re not gonna pick up those PUMA votes (and who cares, those people are kind of insane) nor are they going to pick up any pro-choice. What does Palin gain? A strengthened base? How much STRONGER would this base be with a Huckabee- a candidate everyone already knows and loves/respects?

    So if you’re going to support the base with a candidate they’ll love once they get to know her, why not give them a candidate they’ve wanted all along?

    And before somebody tries to sink their teeth into me because I’m not foaming at the mouth with support, I do not know this woman, and just look back a few days on this blog at the little bits of talk Palin received…

    “probably too unknown as a vetting matter for 2008″
    “Palin is too green. ”
    “Cons: who knows how experienced she really is? She was a mayor of a middle-sized town in Alaska 2 years ago.”
    “The entire Palmer/Wasilla/The Colony area is smaller than most suburbs of large cities. I agree that Palin needs a little seasoning”

    • zuiko

      I’m sure as a Dem you’d just love for McCain to pick Huckabee. Sorry thing didn’t go your way. I also didn’t really see the point of this video as “look, he used a cuss word!”

      • Rod_Patrick

        and not supplementing what already exists.

        • PhxG

          are praying for ANYTHING to disrupt the momentum McCain/Palin now has.

          • RedFox84

            You’re one of those folks that’s been pro-life all your life and agree with Rush 99% of the time BUUUUUUT….

            Right?

          • NightTwister

            You had me going until you said this,

            …Huckabee- a candidate everyone already knows and loves/respects

          • E_Pluribus_Unum

            But I would counter with a couple of points:

            (1) it may just be that these guys are stupid, and SHOULD be more fearful than they are.
            (2) Judging that the response from the Dems has consisted mainly of low blows and ‘how dare they’, I think that the GENERAL Dem crowd seems to have more fearful respect for the pick than this guy does, so I refer you to point #1.
            (3) turn it around. If the Dems had made a surprise but good pick (nobody really comes to mind), we would, even in GOP-on-GOP conversations, be picking that person apart just as a matter of course.

            So anyway…. just food for thought.

          • Sam_Gamgee

            A website could be set up to accept contributions for the Red Cross and/or Salvation Army. The convention would go on as normal, except that every speaker would remind people to contribute to hurricane relief. The website could be listed on the podium, on the video screen, and anywhere else it would be picked up on television. We could ask the networks to post the website. Make it a completely non-partisan appeal. We’ll be helping the country by electing Republicans to office, while at the same time doing our part to help those in need.

          • Moe_Lane

            …”recording people when they don’t know they’re on camera and using the words of grown-ups speaking to grown-ups” bit. Grown-ups don’t take pleasure in the destruction of fellow countrymen’s homes and livelihoods.

            Get off of my website.

          • streiff

            that a “private” conversation held is the freakin cabin of a scheduled airliner is off limits?

            I guess the same rule applies to the open mike comments at public events, too?

            When did this become the standard?

  • patriotroom

    Hope McCain’s guys get this and beat the Dems like a rented mule with it.

    • David_Hinz

      McCain only MET HER ONCE and made her his VP. WHAT WAS HE THINKING?

      GIMME a floucking break! This is NOT the 18th Century! Ever hear of TELECOMMUNICATIONS? It’s all the rage today.

      There are any number of people HERE and at The Minority Report that I have NEVER met, and yet we talk on the telephone regularly — we have become friends.

      AND most of THEM don’t regularly appear on TV [well, except Erick -- but he is special] as do politicians. Ya think that it is possible that Sen McCain MIGHT have a pretty good read on the character of his running mate from communicating with her other than face-to-face?

      The way the IDIOT LIBS and the MSM [but I repeat myself] talk, it is as though this was an arranged marriage from the 18th Century where neither person knows a darn thing about the other.

      LIBS! Get over yourselves — the Senator has upstaged you with a SUPERIOR choice for his VP and you got pwned!

  • RedSt8Kentucky

    …simpletons open their collective mouths, it only cements the notion that they are absolutely childish, mean-spirited and wholly lacking in intellect.

    Fowler sounds like a snotty, cliquish fourth grade girl celebrating the misfortune of another. Someone please tell me that this person, a former national chair of the DNC, doesn’t engage in such chatter.

    But then…I look at others who have filled the same shoes, and it’s no surprise whatsoever.

    Well, as the saying goes, dookie flows downstream.

    Bailiff!!!!

  • Flagstaff

    last night with a similar question.

    It seems the Dobson website had at one point suggested that it would be good if the Dem Convention were rained out. When there were objections, it was taken down.

    Alan kept pushing it, “Now it looks like there’ll be a hurricane spoiling the Republican convention, huh?, huh?, huh?”

    Dobson just chuckled and said, “It rains on both the just and the unjust.”

    • c17wife

      parade is quite different than mocking a city with a catastrophic storm heading for it simply for political gain.
      It’s no wonder these guys have a jackass as their mascot.

      • BlowFish

        Scott McClellan sounds like he isn’t quite done with his wrecking ball act:

        “If it’s a major hurricane, I think that they certainly need to show they learned lessons from three years ago, both from a policy and perception standpoint,” McClellan said.

        He also suggested that McCain could benefit politically from such a scenario: It would allow Bush to mount an effective GOP response to a disaster while removing the unpopular president from the convention roster.

        “It could be a two-fer,” McClellan said.
        ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

        A hurricane as a “two-fer”. Yeah, looking at the political upside of a hurricane – that’s real class and sensitivity. Whose side is he on, anyway?

            I disagree with most of your post, but I did have some concern about the propriety of recording a conversation without the other parties’ knowledge. Then I thought about the situation. These two men were chatting in an airplane cabin with people all around them and who knows how many people walking by. I think it could be fairly argued that they didn’t have an expectation of privacy.

            Trying to force Gov. Huckabee on the ticket against Sen. McCain’s wishes would guarantee a disrupted convention and a nasty floor fight. While some Republicans are opposed to Gov. Palin on concerns about experience there are certainly others that object to Gov. Huckabee’s past positions. The pick is a done deal. She is the VP nominee, and we’ll know in 60+ days if she’s an asset or not.

          • mbecker908

            disgusting piece of human filth.

            Insensitive racist.

            Out of touch elitist.

            I could go on. These guys are the snapshot of elected Democrats. Totally unfeeling, completely cut off from the real world. These responses from these little insignificant pieces of flotsam, including Michael Moore, and the lack of outrage from the media are just another reason I am irritated as hell at GWB. The problems in NO were not the fault of the federal government or their response. The problems were created, part and parcel, by the elected Democrats who were running the City and the State at the time. Nagin and Blanco should have been hung on their petard but the Administration let them off the hook and never responded when your elites attacked them.

            Boy, I sure hope McCain carpet bombs Obama and the elected snobs from your party.

  • mbecker908

    idiots?

    • PUMAproud

      I won’t bother hiding the fact that I’m a Dem like you are doing. Palin is a brilliant choice, even if she isn’t for choice. She’s “pro-contraception”, which is enough of a shading for many middle of the road women. The economy, taxes, security, and energy issues are also important and PUMAs won’t be voting on one-issue alone-so Palin is going to be attractive to women in that balanced middle ground -unlike Huckabee ever could, not just because she is a woman either.

      No way can I vote for inexperienced Obama (who still dismisses women with “Later, Sweetie” and a laugh), and McCain’s choice of Palin just re-emphasizes the reason I’ll be voting for McCain. I’ve known about a potential Palin for months (why is everyone else so shocked?), and have seen more than enough to know that her record outweighs Obama’s.

      My vote isn’t based on gender, but the Dems did not help their bad candidate with their bad attitude. The current Dem meanstreak, like in this clip, saddens me, but the emergent sexism in the Dem party breaks my heart. These are the same men that threaten me to trust them with my body “or else”, when they won’t even respect me? They’re like the thugs that threaten shopkeepers with destruction unless they pay the thugs “protection”. YES WE CAN vote elsewhere.

      Beyond the vicious treatment of Ms.Clinton, the left calling Palin “just any woman” “like a lego” is itself demeaning, and saying she is anti-woman because of her views is despicable. I don’t agree with some of her religious-based views, but I respect them. I also respect her record as being more concrete, and as Bill Crystal said: Obama talks about things, Palin has done them. Palin meets every need that McCain was looking for in a running mate; she is quick witted and a fire cracker, and has anyone seen so many smiling conservatives in years?

      In my mind, strange bedfellows for me, but whatever it takes to get McCain in the White House and keep Obama out…and Palin might just be the tipping point.

  • The_Rebel

    On the one hand we have the Fowler moment to show America. On the other, we can show Republicans assisting in the aftermath of the Gustav disaster.

    The Republican Convention will proceed on time, as well it should. However, the President should be on-site in the gulf region on Monday and communicate with the Convention by satellite TV. All non-essential Republican leaders, alternate delegates, etc. should head for the gulf and assist the victims once the storm has passed. Only those delegates necessary to secure the nominations of the President and Vice-President should remain.

    The Convention can be shortened by a day, with the President and Vice-President giving their acceptance speeches on Wednesday, and then immediately heading to assist in the recovery efforts. The cost of sending all these people can be borne by the RNC. They will more than offset this by the contributions that will roll in to the RNC by such a gesture.

    The alternative to this is a Convention that proceeds normally, but is a PR disaster. I can envision the MSM networks showing split screens, with the Republicans partying in Saint Paul on the left side, and Obama and other democrats assisting victims on the right side.

    We have the opportunity to get this campaign off on a high note. Let’s not blow it now.

    • OccamsRazor

      We [Americans] could spend as much as they did on the Democratic show to essentially control weather-as an afront to God. But with our convention, we might be able to hand out bread and relatively clean water.

      But the idea is intriguing.

  • OccamsRazor

    Absentee,

    Mosttimes it goes unsaid/untyped. Thanks for making this trip and this footage.

    OR

  • jeffmacguy

    Maybe the Dems can have a disaster relief fundraiser for their ideological brothers in Cuba.

    Looks like they could use some help about now.

  • buckeye

    Regardless of the hurricane, I think there should be a larger theme at the convention led by Palin that although not perfect the Republican Party is far more competent at reforming and governing.

    Challenge the Dems to identify a single level of government that has trended from Republican to Democrat in recent years that’s better off. I can’t think of one although many have changed hands. Watching Michigan, Ohio and other states trend blue is like watching countries fall to communism during the Cold War. It’s to a lesser degree only because the corruption and collectivism is to a lesser degree but they’re all worse off and heading over a cliff. Congress isn’t any different sense it changed hands. We have a very recent and thorough track record of what change looks like when it involves putting Democrats in charge.

    Urban America going over the Democrat cliff is the perfect example, the more Democrat power, the higher the unemployment rate, the higher the crime rate, the higher the illiteracy rate, the higher the teen pregnancy rate. People are fleeing the Daley machine led Cook County, Illinois by the truck load (note my 100% Dem run Cuyahoga County and Detroit’s – indited mayor Wayne County Michigan also top the list). The same Daley machine Obama never once stood up to but rather carried water for with Durbin and Stroger. Palin is just the leader to deliver the message, “we can’t let the same people that are destroying our great cities and now many states get their hands on the entire country with a political monopoly. If you like what Obama and his friends did for Chicago, Detroit, Cleveland and the rest of Ohio and Michigan you’ll love what they’ll do for the entire country”.

    It needs to be said, there are millions of citizens across the country that have seen their quality of life diminish while the Democrats took power over their lives and the rest of the country prospered. Democrats do not produce results to be proud of, anywhere other than leafy college towns drowning in federal grants. Obama took the fight to McCain last week and we should take the fight to Democrats this week, as a party of failure.

    This gets back to the hurricane. Since Louisiana is no longer governed by an incompetent Democrat but rather a very competent Republican like Mississippi and Florida who could handle hurricanes all along, it’s under control. America will witness the same week as the GOP convention how governance improves when you get Democrats out of power. It’s touchy and risky, but somehow it needs to be pointed out who’s delivering misery and failure around the country and who’s not. There’s no opportunity like a convention speech from one of the candidates.

    • Putter

      to hear it. Welcome to Red State. I think you will find that, like you, the folks here don’t care so much whether or not she is female. We like her because she has been successful in something besides politics. We like her because she does not have to convene a focus group to answer a question. We like her because she has a spine, a moral compass and a host of other desirable traits in a public servant.

  • McCainForPrez

    Just postpone it a month. People will still come; they can make arrangements. If they can’t, others will gladly take their place.

    If they can’t accommodate in one month at St. Paul, hold it in another city (any city would love the revenue and attention).

    Dems, Kos, and MSM will clobber GOP if they hold their convention during Gustav. Just just don’t even fight it. Heck, closer to the election, the better.

  • Mr_l3itchy

    There is a special place in hell for these people. I watched Olbermann’s show last night and have felt compelled to send this email to MSNBC as well as everyone else I can think of, seems appropriate here as well.

    To: letters@msnbc.com; letters@msnbc.com
    Sent: Saturday, August 30, 2008 12:23:42 PM
    Subject: the worst person in the world

    I have never emailed a news service before but feel like some things should not go without complaint. On August 29, 2008 during Countdown with Keith Olbermann, Michael Moore laughed, joked and chuckled about the propsect of hurricane Gustav hitting New Orleans while the republicans try to start their convention since it would be so close to the three year anniversary of Katrina. Mr. Olbermann seemed to find the idea of a major storm striking the city humorous as well and chuckled along even comparing it to people praying for rain during Sen. Obama’s acceptance speech the night before. To be honest I don’t believe I have ever seen two more offensive people on television at the same time in my entire 40 years of life. Katrina caused tens of billions of dollars worth of damage to New Orleans and killed 1600 people, and if Gustav hits, despite everyone’s best efforts, there is no guarantee that the same tragedy could not reoccur. To make this even more offensive, on the same evening Mr. Olberman included Fox weatherman Steve Doocy in his ‘Worst Person in the World’ segment for making a lame but certainly not evil remark about Gov. Palin having international experience for living close to Russia while airing and apparently agreeing with this drivel spewing from Moore’s mouth. This man’s show belongs on Comedy Central or in the trash heap, not a ‘news’ network. Michael Moore should be forever banned from television and so should your host. MSNBC owes the country and particularly the city of New Orleans an ON AIR apology for even allowing such filth to air on its station. The only reason I or anyone else watches your network anymore is to see when someone will finally have a meltdown and get carried away by men in white suits. You should all be ashamed.

    Very sincerely,
    D J S, Houston, Tx (former resident of New Orleans)

    Just postpone it a month. It’s a lose-lose if we try to hold the convention during the hurricanes. Dems, Kos, and MSM will clobber us. Let’s just not fight it.

    Inconvenience? Sure, but people will have a month to rearrange their schedules. If they can’t make it, others will take their place. We’ll have a packed house.

    If St. Paul can’t accommodate the changes, many other cash-strapped cities will gladly host us. And by having the convention closer to the election, we get a “bounce”. Mac can keep raising private funds until then.

    And besides, the MSM will be giving more coverage to the hurricane than to our convention. Just postpone it a month.

    Gov. Jindal will handle it much better than Ray “School Bus” Nagin and what’s-her-name. The REAL “lesson of Katrina” has been completely lost on the Dems and their drive-by media: Disaster recovery begins at home, not the White House over 1000 miles away.

    Obviously Moore and “his” followers do not know God. Statements like his are well recorded for eternity. Unless he places himself above God. (maybe)
    Such lack of understanding on the phrases or words the liberal choses to express himself looks foolish and uneducated and dare I use immature.

    • DaBoogieMan

      evil, derogatory statements on the threat of american’s lives while being thousands of miles removed.

      I would suggest he come down here and see how “typical conservative Americans” are not the one’s with their hand out look for the government to SAVE them from stupidity. If the obese MM would show his fugly face here with us in south Louisiana, we’d have to roast him on the pit, the good pig he is and feed him to the alligators.

      Katrina was an example of how Liberal America works and how pathetic its policies are. We had a liberal governor and a liberal mayor and you saw how they operated. Blame, blame, blame and make them suffer, then blame Bush.

      Rest assured people, Gov Bobby Jindal is not idiots Blanco and Nagin. Nagin gets to prove himself that he can do right or he can just moved to his home in Dallas and stay there forever.

      People are prepared and they know the threat is real. We’ve been rolling people north since yesterday.

      • OccamsRazor

        Remember, this IS an act of God framed in context by the left. Yes, WE know in our heart of hearts, that we would prevail over the mass American suicidal haters, but the energy involved in one hurricane is more than just a few tingles down 200k German thighs.

      I am open-mouthed, slack-jawed amazed at the cynicism and lack of simple human compassion being shown by Moore, Fowler, and Spratt, et al, for the Gulf Coast residents who may lose (again) everything they have, not to mention their lives.

      Lincoln was right: this country can’t fall from enemies without, but the enemy within may get us.

      I cannot imagine hating anyone so much, or “the other side” so much, that I’d wish a hurricane on innocents just to claim some sort of supposed moral superiority.

      Outraged doesn’t begin to cover how I feel about this. There is no word for it. But when I hear things like this, I despair for the country I love.

      God bless us all, and God protect us.

      I’m completely disgusted by this former National Chairman. I’m not a religious person in the least, but does this moron actually believe that God, GOD, would destroy people’s homes, take their livelyhood, and kill them just to make the Democratic party look good and win the election???? These people are sick.

      If a hurricane we’re heading to their states I doubt this would be a laughing or turning it political. I have family all around NO. Some lost alot after Katrina. The place was barely getting back on its feet. Now this Gustov. The democrats should throw these guys from the bus. Obama is gonna lose.

      • tallicedtea

        I guess they (the Democrats) forgot that there were 3 TORNADOS IN DENVER at the onset of the Democrat convention!! What was that!? Hmmm? It certainly wasn’t business as usual in Denver! Whatever it was or wasn’t, it certainly is no different than a hurricane hitting right now, um, DURING HURRICANE SEASON!! Oh brother, get a life!!!

    • BookLover

      but, I am not a leftist troll. I saw the headline on Drudge and I was absolutely livid, so of course I had to read the article and that brought me here.

      So, the latest news is Palin is heading to Jackson,MS and McCain is to follow. Meanwhile, Republicans are making plans to collect funds for the hurricane victims. Palin the newly picked running mate is heading right into the storm, instead of campaigning the duo is actually going to do what Liberals say they should do, but fail to do.

          Yes, I noticed back in 2003. I changed parties because of my increasing concerns about Democrats, it started with Bill Clintons lying and witness tampering(didn’t blame the whole party), then there were things they said about Condoleza Rice and Colin Powell, then there was 9/11 some said that we deserved it. Then there was the funeral for Wellstone turned into a rally. Finally, the War in Iraq, that was the final straw that they would vote for the war and then when bombs started dropping they abandoned our troops. Dispicable the lot of them.

      Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family thought it was funny to pray for a down pour on top of Obama and his cheering 84,000 supporters! The far right laughed and slapped one another on the back in the good ole’ boy way. But to Stuart’s great disappointment the Lord sent perfect weather to Obama.
      Personally as a father of two Iraq war vets I was offended by Stuart’s and Focus on the Family’s folly and hypocritical prayer.
      Strings of bad luck spring from the ores of Irony. “I don’t know how many houses I own…Does not know Iraq does not border with Pakistan…Ooopps its not 1989 and its no longer called Checkoslovokia. Joe whisper in my ear which tribe is involved in and doing what…and oh no, on the 3rd anniversary of Katrina and the day of the GOP convention’s scheduled opening we have ourselves a category 4 or 5 hurricane coming straight toward New Orleans.”
      Mother Nature and freak coincidence? Yea, probably…The Irony of the Lord making known His opinion over the last 3 years….That’s for the far right conservative values voters to decide.

      • rstreu

        An ironic fake prayer for God to send rain on some people, while inappropriate (I agree!) is rather far removed from celebrating a disaster of the proportions we’re about to see here.

        Beyond that, you take a couple of very minor gaffes (conveniently forgetting, I suppose, Obama’s 57 states, the “bitter clingers” comment, and his hundreds of other supposed “gaffes”) and suggest that it’s God’s irony. I’d laugh, if your ignorance wasn’t so very sad.

    • runner2300

      I guess the possibility of a CAT 4 storm hitting New Orleans and killing people and destroying homes seems to be a joke for the Dems. Had that been a Republican who said that, this would be front page news on the NYT.

      Obama will say that these are not the men he has known over the last few years. The same excuse he has used for Rev Wright, William Ayers, etc., etc., etc.

    • sage

      I did not hear any conservatives condemn rightwing pastors like Hagee and his ilk for saying New Orleans deserved Katrina because of hosting a gay pride parade. Let’s be real here folks, outrageous comments are made by both sides. So stop being so hypocritical. It’s pathetic.

      • rstreu

        People who made those comments were roundly criticized. But that’s okay… you can play make-believe if it makes you feel better.

    • VetDad

      The Gulf States need our prayers and support.
      And to be completely honest this hurricane has come at the worst time ever!
      And noooo..only an idiot would enjoy the fact that a massive powerful hurricane is going heading for the Gulf States.
      What the far right neo cons are doing is jumping to conclusions. Even a simple minded pinhead could see the sad irony in the timing of mother nature’s wrath.
      And it was not a democrat who prayed for a down pour on top of Mile High Stadium during Obama’s speech. With this act of the right wing prayer warrior as a past reference the Irony of this tragedy is brought out by Fowler and Moore.
      To deny these facts of timing is being dishonest!

    • VetDad

      Jesus Christ in the Scriptures told the hypocrites they would receive a far worse judgment than those they condemned. For Hagee and the likes of the other far right fringe neo cons to judge New Orleans as the target of God’s wrath by way of a hurricane is God awful twisted and sick. Why? According to Jesus if you’re a hypocrite you got worse coming to you.
      How many homeless veterans, families without healthcare, Americans out of work, hard working americans that have seen the value of their wages sink like the titanic, lies told to start a war…and neo cons overlooking this and stand in judgment over the gay citizens in America? Now that’s a hypocrite for ya!
      Now a freak of nature and a string of bad horrible luck…any person that’s honest would admit to the tragic irony of the timing of this hurricane!
      What’s most important now is these poor people. What will be done to put their life’s back on track. Three years have past and we judge what has been done to know the answer to what will be done for them.

    • Tempered_Steel

      Fowler’s “god” wants to destroy New Orleans For political gain. Fowler’s “god” wants to kill unborn children for the same reason. Fowler’s “god” wants a nanny state to take care of us all, as well as take all our money. Foweler’s “god” thinks my God should accept gay marriage.

      Fowler’s “god” is power. Are you surprised?

      • rstreu

        This isn’t even about Hagee. He was condemned by people on this side of the aisle as well. If you want to make this about that, that’s your prerogative… but do it somewhere else. You can be a hero over at Kos. Here, where people actually think, you’re starting to sound like an idiot.

        • Rod_Patrick

          You can only do that if you are Obama!

    • VetDad

      So a troll would make this about Hagee!
      Neo Cons. They are not able to process information.
      Let’s go back to 2nd grade so that the neo cons can some what grasp simple thoughts.
      Hagee: Speaking of reasons why Hurricane Katrina hit New Orleans, It was the gays.
      Fowler: God favors the Democrats. Why? Gop convention to be upstaged by the Almighty by sending a hurricane.
      Common Denominator: Hurricane
      Left condemns Hagee
      Right Condemns Fowler
      Common Denominator: Hypocrisy.
      What’s the thread about? Fowler implying God sent the hurricane.
      What did Hagee do? Said God sent Katrina.
      A troll would send out red herrings by calling those who do see the irony of this present tragedy, “A troll!”
      How does the Crow soup taste?

      • QueenOfCups

        Hagee is a pastor entitled to free speech, people can go to his church and buy his books or ignore him. I’m sure there are plenty of Christians who were appalled by what he said and his credibility as a serious and pious man of God has suffered.

        Fowler is an elected official charged with the welfare of the people. For him to find any humor in this impending tragedy reflects very poorly on his role as public servant. He also is entitled to free speech, but he has much more to lose because people can then decide whether or not to vote for him.

        And what does God think about it all? Rain falls on the just and unjust alike.

        • Mr_l3itchy

          Rev Hagee was never head of the RNC as far as I know. And I am offended by ANYONE that tries to be so arrogant as to assume they know God’s will. Just because the atheist baby killing America hating socialist loving freaks associate anything Christian with the republican party does not mean ANY pastor or priest speaks for me or a majority of the party. Calling for paritioners to pray for some people to get wet during Obama’s speech is a far far cry from calling for God to send death and destruction upon them. For this Fowler and Moore and Olbermann to treat this storm as some kind of joke while a million people are evacuating the gulf coast is beyond offensive. Hagee has been thrown under the bus by the republicans numerous times. Where is the left saying the same? All I see is a bunch of that side of the aisle defending these people and their comments. Shame on you all…..

    • zuccozoid

      MSM will cover the RNC by split-screening the worst pics they can find of the storm and its victims, along with images of cheering Rep delegates.

      Don’t delay the convention: no shirking. Tackle this one head-on, hands on and SET UP A LIVE HURRICANE RELIEF FUND right there at the RNC and make it PROMINENT: 800 line, website, etc.

      With our donations, YES WE CAN make a difference, while preventing the Dems from branding us yet again as “uncaring.”

    • r_dubs

      Stuart Shepard of Focus on the Family, one of America’s leading evangelical groups, was shown in a video filmed at Denver’s Invesco Field, where 75,000 are expected to cheer Mr Obama on Aug 28, asking Christians to pray for “torrential” rain.

      “I’m talking ‘umbrella-ain’t-going-to-help-you rain,” the former pastor and television meteorologist said.

        DO these people speak for you or your party? NO? then shut up.

        If it is any help I will right now personally repudiate anyone who ever prayed for rain on any political opponent. I repudiate them and think they are stupid and not very Christian in their temperament.

        Now, shut up.

            about rain falling on a stadium (even if it is a heavy rain)and a category 5 hurricane that will destroy homes and lives and possibly even kill people on a town at the other end of the Mississippi from the convention.

            AND and even BIGGER difference is between the purveyors of the jokes: an evangelical minister, or copyboy, or whomever it was making the joke about the rain in the first place, and an elected official charged with the welfare of the people hoping for a catastrophe on innocents.

    • jcadla

      To think God sent this foul weather on purpose, just now when the Republican Convention is about to begin, is a stretch, I must say. However, if He did, indeed, send it purposely at this time, it was probably because He knows that the Republicans are much more able to handle such things than are the Democrats! He wouldn’t have wanted to panic a bunch of grown-up wanna’be’s, the Dems by sending the storm earlier! Listening to Obama’s speech at the Clinton National Convention,(what..it was the Obama Convention? OK.) was bad enough at the best of times, much less at a stressful time. The Dems need all the help they can get! As Chico the Wonder Dog would say, “Oh, well!”

These scumbags are making light of and taking glee in the fact that the republicans will have to look at another hurricane almost 3 years to the day after Katrina while their convention is kicking off. There is no glee to be had or jokes to be made at a time such as this. It just goes to show that when it all comes down to it, the party that is supposed to care about the poor and working class could really care less as most of the people in shelters and being evacuated on buses are also the ones most likely to come home and find they have lost everything, AGAIN! HAHAHA how funny is that? Now Fowler making a statement in extremely poor taste to a friend on a plane (as poor taste as a rape joke I might add) is quite different from the disgusting display by Moore and Olbermann on MSNBC. This was not a private moment captured by hidden video. These two are openly gleeful about the approaching disaster on a nationally televised broadcast in prime time on albeit the worst cable news network on television. All I can say is they are lucky I wasn’t on the set or waiting in the greenroom I would slapped them both in the face on air if not worse. New Orleans is my birthplace and I don’t care who thinks we should rebuild or who doesn’t I am as offended by their remarks as the left coasters would be if the big one was to wipe out San Francisco and Rush Limbaugh was to go on the air and make a statement along the lines of ‘oh well it was mostly registered democrats anyway, tilts California in the republicans favor now.’ Any human being that finds glee in the suffering of others on this scale for some political gain is just SICK!

      Here is a prime example of the fanatical haters, bigotry and stupidity that abounds in the Republican and Democratic party’s (Republican in this case) and their adherents, this is a post in the comments section of the Denver Post:

      Hopefully, this hurricane will wipe New Orleans off the map. Residents of New Orleans, flee now, we already know your “Chocolate Mayor” and your Democrat Gov will do nothing to help you flee!

      Note of Fact, Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is a REPUBLICAN, and also of ‘chocolate’ complexion.

    • moneyjumpshot

      As both a REAL Republican and a religious individual, I do believe a higher power is causing this storm to occur. I don’t believe, however, that this would occur in a way that punished all the innocent people in New Orleans just to get to the evil of the current Republican party. Ever since Nixon/Reagan/Bush hijacked the party it has gone completely downhill. All of these three personalities are part of the same club. It is time for new leadership in the GOP. My choice would have been Romney running as President and Bobby Jindal as Vice President. Unfortunately the party blundered and put up Mccain. I don’t know how so many of the same people who bashed on Mccain are now singing his praises. He’s better than Obama, but what is that saying?

              normal person- understands the irony of a hurricane heading towards a place that caused one of the hugest natural and political disasters for a party during an election year. anyone on both sides of the isle would see the irony and yet understand the enormous toll on our fellow citizens. it is pretty pitiful that anyone would get excited about it.

    • infinitewisdom4u

      First, McCain has nothing to do with any disaster preparedness and response activities for this hurricane. He is making himself a target by getting remotely involved. By stating that he is being briefed by the president and is contact with other key officials, he can avoid the entanglement. There is only one political winner during a catastrophe and that is the democrats. the media will see to that.
      Second: Go forth. Tell the nation that for too long and for the wrong reasons every situation has become politicized to the point that everything is a stalemate and that the American taxpayer is the loser. A disaster should be handled with all the capability, efficiency and care that the appropriate responders can muster. All the racing about with politics gets the priorities out of whack and real people get hurt because of it.
      Third: People are tired of politics in everything and if it appears we can get an effective response to the hurricane (it has been done in many other places) then the government as a whole can get kudos.
      Another point: Imagine if the Mayor of NO had been someone other than Naggin, or was Republican, and told everyone if you stay you are on your own? That the government is not going to provide shelter or services because you decide to stay. The media would have castrated them immediately and made it look like they, Republicans or someone who was not black, did not care about black people. But since Naggin said it (we know he is incapable) its okedokey.

      There is just no way around it! If a Republican does it…it MUST be wrong.

      Fair to say that the RNC is being dwarfed by Gustav. It is hard to watch political coverage when there are people who are being devastated again by a massive hurricane. Three people have already died during evacuation. (FOX news)

      It is easy to look back and say what could or should have been done, but it takes true conviction and leadership to take action on the spot. I trust that McCain will act with respect and dignity and lead this convention in the appropriate direction.

      I also expect that the press will blame the Bush administration, yet again, for an act of NATURE. That makes so much sense.

      Tragedy has no political affiliation.

      ps….If character is what you do when no one is watching then we know Fowler’s true character and/or lack thereof. Only problem for him is that someone was watching. Good job!

      Dobson?s Focus on the Family member, Stuart Shepard asks Christians to pray for rain on Aug. 28, when Obama is scheduled to give an outdoor address at Denver?s Mile High Stadium during the Democratic National Convention.

      Shepard calls for ?abundant rain, torrential rain ? flood-advisory rain.? He adds, ?I?m talking about umbrella-ain?t-gonna-help-you rain ? swamp-the-intersections rain.?

        And you are three days late and probably a million brain cells short, sparky. Apparently you never read any of the thread or you would see your brilliant talking point has already been taken and dealt with.

        Learn to read.

          Obviously you possess the same single-digit IQ as the rest of your talking-point-spewing imbecile cohorts that have dumped their turds here earlier. Repeat after me: “A rainout of a speech is not the same as the results of a deadly hurricane.” Do you have the mental capacity to absorb that simple concept? I somehow doubt it.

            There’s been way too much feeding going on lately…

              I think it gets the point across nicely:

              A stupid, drooling troll, just sitting there (probably in its parents’ basement)

              since it really points out why these idiots see fit to post this stuff. It helps them forget about their own inadequacies.

            • NAVWIFE

              the previous posts! Leftists aren’t concerned with actually following the thread.

              By the way: WHO is Stuart Shepard in the Republican camp? Is he the head of the RNC? Is he an advisor to McCain?

              Were it not for this hurricane, those comments wouldn’t carry such weight and could be seen as a lack of good judgement. Christians should never pray for bad things to happen to others. Indeed we are even to pray for the good of our enemies and for the most evil of this world.

              Just accept it…the democratic party has become and evil cult of this country and you drank the kool-ade. If you ever come out of your brainwashed stupor, educate yourself and re-register as a Republican.

              You can start by READING the truth, which is provided for you all over this website by these educated people!

              We’ll be praying for ya!

      It really sucks that Spratt got pulled into this, since he didn’t say anything on the recording (he was probably just nodding & smiling to get through the flight with Fowler anyway- I know he’s very respected by both sides of the aisle)… but now Hanna is going to likely hit his district, I’m sure he is no longer laughing.

      Things seem to be more controlled in the Gulf region this go-round; hopefully everyone will be safe! Jindal is doing a great job… any else think he’s going to run in 2012 if McCain doesn’t win- the same way Clinton runs in 2012 if Obama loses?

      Holding up hope for the Gulf region!!
