This from Michelle Malkin on the “Rent-a-riot” in New Orleans [housing project demolition].. . . with video of the New Orleans public housing battle to my post on the Hurrican Katrina rent subsidy story in Houston. As Bryan Preston noted, most of……

that’s why i’m pinning the protests on the rcp. they were the group behind the coalition to save public housing pre-911.

i’ve been posting here longer than you have. so, you know, sit down and stop making a scene.

No, you just have longer posts. Need to tighten those babies up, dude. Nobody reads ‘em.

Does that about sum it up?

amerpundit was referring to the guy in the video who described it as police brutality.

Oh, and thanks for throwing us all under the bus while you were at it.

P.S. She can Taz me anytime.

The use of pepper spray to beat back crowds trying to crash through a gate and disrupt a meeting is “police brutality”?

I believe the prevailing opinion here at Hot Air is that the officers should address crowd as if they were speaking to small children, fully informing the mob of its rights, including the right to file a 42 USC §1983 civil suit, followed by a scholarly exegesis on the Miranda ruling.

If that doesn’t work, the officers are thought obligated to lie prone, single file, so as to form a human walkway over which the masses may pass without the unnecessary scuffing of any Manolos.

Does that about sum it up?

And while the rhetoric has planted a perception that the scheduled demolition of the aging complexes is a result of Katrina, in reality it stems from a national policy shift launched well before the flood. Demolition of public housing in New Orleans has been going on for years as federal officials have sought to improve housing for the poor.

Indeed, federal lawsuits filed in New Orleans before Katrina objected not to demolitions, but to the living conditions in the city’s aging public housing developments, many of which were built in the 1930s and 1940s and were derided for warehousing the poor in dilapidated, inaccessible buildings.

I do know not to feed trolls.

for christmas i want you to make texasdan proud of himself. increase the size of his weiner if that’s what’s required. but however you increase his self-confidence, let it at least be to the extent that he doen’t feel intellectually threatened by not especially inobvious points offered in plain language.

“You like those presents, well you just wait. Oooooo what have we here… why its free healthcare. Do you like that Sharon Jasper? Well we’re not done yet. No sirreeee Miss Jasper. Ooooo look at this… why its free college tuition. You like that Miss Jasper don’t you. What’s that Miss Jasper? Oh, you say there is another present under the tree. Why yes there is. And this one is extra special! This one is free pre-school for your fatherless children. Yippeee! So Mrs Jasper, I bet you have friends that broke into our country illegally don’t you. Well why don’t we just dish out some free college tuition for them too? Why not? Mike Huckabee thinks that the Christian thing to do as well. Yes, you like Mr Huckabee don’t you Miss Jasper. Once we get the free tuition thing done we can work on that Amnesty thing and turn them into nice lemming socialist Democrat voters. Yippee.”

Thank you Santa.

a rich white person who is defined by their leftism creates a violent situation at a city council meeting. they say they are speaking as the voice of public housing residents.

conservatives: they take their word for it and offer up harsh words for public housing residents.

a rich white person who is defined by their leftism seeks out a public housing resident to use as a prop in their narrative in suppport of expanding government, using the public housing resident as a human sheild.

conservatives: attack the public housing resident.

a rich white person who is defined by their leftism want to eliminate the the u.s. border, comprimise her market and cripple the neo-liberal colosus in her cradle. so the rich white person who is defined by their leftism organizes illegal mexican aliens into million-strong marches.

conservatives: are somehow blind to the 3 white college leftists per mexican at any of these rallies and instead direct their rancor at mexicans.

and over and over and over again.

“Omissions of the Omen” by Matthew Good Band:

Wait for me if I don’t show up
Take from me this hypocrits cup
And someone to run the world
Someone would love to have my first world problems
Kill the moon and turn out the sun
Lock your door and load your gun
Free at last now the time has come to choose

That picture shows what her lazy butt does all day. Sits on that very couch, eating, watching that TV, and complaining about a leaky faucet.

Being poor is having no food, water, or shelter. Even then, NO ONE owes you anything. That’s what (voluntary) charity is for.

Reminds me of some lyrics from a Matthew Good song (Lefty Alert!). Something along the lines of:

“Lots of third world people would love to have my first world problems”

Being poor is having no food, water, or shelter. Even then, NO ONE owes you anything. That’s what (voluntary) charity is for.
