YES I AM A LIAR Any comments? Why does it tickle you so much. Isn't it better to be a liar than a asshole like Bush is? Took him two weeks to figure out that he is responsible for the Katrina situation.

Farrakhan : Levee blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry. __________________________________________________________ Air America Hosts: Farrakhan Not Wrong on Levees NewsMax.com ^ \| Sept. 16, 2005 \| Carl Limbacher Two hosts at the liberal radio network Air America are defending Nation of Islam leader Minister Louis Farrakhan - saying he's not wrong to suspect that white people deliberately blew up the levees in New Orleans. "You cannot blame people for coming up with conspiracy theories," Air America host Chuck D. said, after he was asked Thursday about the paranoid pronouncement by MSNBC's Tucker Carlson. "They look on television and see that the government is four days late in saving people [who are] supposed to be their citizens," Chuck D. explained. Carlson gave him a second chance to denounce Farrakhan's lunatic declaration, saying, "You're a smart guy. You know that white people didn't blow up the levees to kill black people. You've gotta know that didn't happen." But the Air America host refused to budge, insisting instead that there was a chance Farrakhan could be right. "I can't say unless I know for sure what's the actual facts and what's actually false," the rapper-turned-talk host said. Carlson tried a third time, telling Chuck D.: "Look, I can say for certain that it was not a white conspiracy. White people did not blow up the levee to kill black people." Still, the radio lefty wouldn't denounce Farrakhan's poisonous rant, saying only, "I don't think it's a person at fault but I think the system needs revamping." After failing to persuade Chuck D., the MSNBC host turned to panelist Rachel Maddow, who also hosts a show on Air America. Asked if she believed that white people deliberately destroyed the levees, Maddow declined to render a personal judgment - and instead defended the sentiment behind the toxic hypothesis. "Conspiracy theories don't necessarily help but you have to understand where they come from," she told Carlson. "They come from people feeling like this disaster had a real racial component. I mean, it was a majority-black city that was absolutely abandoned by the country." On Monday, Farrakhan uncorked his ugly theory, telling a North Carolina audience: "I heard from a very reliable source who saw a 25 foot deep crater under the levee breach. It may have been blown up to destroy the black part of town and keep the white part dry."
