Bayou David Challenges Nagin-Farrakhan Goliath

It may be a lone voice in the wilderness, or it may be the pebble at the head of a public relations avalanche, but the modest Bayou Buzz editorializes today where the Extreme Media's silence has been deafening (via Newsmax):

"Why would Nagin meet with someone as notorious as Farrakhan?"

"The Nation of Islam has been a controversial organization to say the least. Farrakhan is legendary for his anti-women, anti-gay, anti-Catholic [anti-white] and anti-Jewish comments. For Nagin to meet with someone as insensitive and racist as Farrakhan is a slap in the face to his many constituents who have been on the receiving end of Farrakhan’s hate-filled rhetoric."

"Why are the City of New Orleans and its leaders obsessed with the Nation of Islam? Earlier in the year, Police Chief Eddie Compass hired a Nation of Islam official to conduct sensitivity training for his police officers. . . .

"Having the Nation of Islam conduct sensitivity training is akin to hiring David Duke to teach classes on race relations. It was a ludicrous idea that was strenuously opposed by religious leaders in the community, forcing Compass to eventually withdraw the contract.

"After that experience, why would Nagin fraternize with the Nation of Islam again, especially when the City of New Orleans needs as much goodwill as possible to recover from this storm?"

Understand that this is the man who, along with Governor Kathleen "Babbling" Blanco, was cast by the EM as morally superior to President Bush, on whom all of their bumbling, incompetence, and failures were blamed.

Recall as well that Nagin and Blanco stand to become the beneficiaries of the quarter-TRILLION dollar stick-up that the Louisiana congressional delegation is attempting to foist on the American taxpayer.

One thing's for sure: if Congress and the Bush White House are foolish enough to knuckle under to this unconscionably outrageous extortion, the Mayor and his "minister" will be able to afford enough Mother Ships to never have to worry about water-logged school buses ever again.
