| Farrakhan: Mayor Nagin Told Me About Deliberately Blown Levees |
| 2005-09-28 |
| Racially polarizing Nation of Islam chief Louis Farrakhan claimed on Friday that he had a private meeting with New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, where Nagin gave him the information that Farrakhan later used to claim New Orleans' levees had been deliberately blown up. Speaking to a gathering of his supporters in Memphis while promoting his upcoming Millions More March, Farrakhan said he met with Nagin in Dallas, Texas where the New Orleans mayor has relocated his family. "We did a whirlwind tour where we hired a chartered jet, we flew to Dallas, Texas - members of the Millions More Movement - where we met with Mayor Nagin," Farrakhan claimed, in videotape of his Memphis speech posted to his Millions More Movement web site Tuesday. It was during that meeting, Farrakhan said, where he obtained evidence that he would later use to claim New Orleans' levees were blown up. |

| #18 Cripes--like RC says, those "craters" had to have been scour from water lapping over the levee or pouring over the breach and widening it. Any kid with an aquarium would recognize that from pouring in water and watching it dig holes in the gravel, but that's way beyond Farrakhan's or Nagin's IQ level. |

| #15 Used to be bizarre conspiracy theories were consigned to a couple of key issues...JFK's murder for example. Nowadays, EVERY single happening in the world spwans its own conspiracy. "Bush knocked down the twin towers"..."the army blew up the levees"..."Iraq is about Halliburton"..."Katrina occurred because we didn't sign Kyoto"..."the moon landings were a fraud"...etc, etc Tellingly, all these absurdities emanate from the left. |

| #14 Farrakhan: Katrina Gives March Momentum CHICAGO - Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan said the suffering of Hurricane Katrina victims has brought black Americans together. "Katrina is our reason," he said, urging the hundreds of attendees to transform any anger into "constructive energy to channel the movement." The movement is his Millions More Movement, formerly the Million Man March, which will commemorate its 10th anniversary with an Oct. 15 rally on the National Mall in Washington. Hmmmmmmmmmmmm? Where were you on that Sunday Katrina hit, Louie? |

| #13 Nagin was telling the truth about the bomb. What he didn't say was the bomb was set by local officials so they could then tap into $250 Billion worth of fix up funds. |

| #12 Put it to Nagin, publicly, and if he backs down from accusing Louie of lying, rip him a new one. No $ for lying hacks |

| #11 Demo mayors like to keep the semi and fully fuzzy muzzy vote close so they indulge Louie and lesser more mainstream Louie Jr.'s. They send lackies to attend the hate rallies and lend credibility and political legitimacy to these hate breeders. They will not say a bad thing about this type of scum even if cornered at a press conference and confronted with the level of hatred entailed in the activities of these "clergymen." I'd be amazed if Nagin would have the guts to politically cap Louie in the media. He, like alot of his peers, is Louie's Uncle Tom. |

| #10 Looks as if I swerved right into the truth with my question in yesterday's Farrakhan thread. "Ya think maybe Farrakhan is gettin' all this inside info from Hizzoner Nagin?" |

| #9 Mayor Noggin and Farrakhcon may be right. Wasn't there pictures of "W" swimming around the levees while on his summer vacation? And, where was he during the unexplained four months of National Guard duty. I understand Cheney is an excellent swimmer and knows people from Halliburton too.... |

| #8 Steve -- my theory is that the current could have scoured away the soil in a way the looks like a crater. Or, the simplest theory is that Farrakhan's a racist freak and is making stuff up in order to provoke another race riot. God knows I've seen that happen before. |

| #7 Why doesn't Nagin complain publicly and loudly about this racist/liar who distorted what was actually said? Silence on this issue on Nagin's part is about as bad as the accusations themselves. |

| #4 One version of this is that Nagin had told Louis that a crater had been reported or seen under the spot where the levee had failed. Farrakhan added the blown up part himself. A crater could have been caused by water seeping under the concrete levee barrier, scouring away the soil until the concrete wall collapsed into it. You see this with dam failure a lot. |
