Katrina - Democrats Use Disaster to Raise Political Funds

Remember I had this to say yesterday?

Left Using Media to Politicize Disaster

How disgusting can you get? Apparently this disgusting.Rescue operations are still underway and Moveon.org is trying to capitalize on people's suffering. The left have absolutely no shame.


Well, just when you think they can't go any lower - they do.

Newsday reports on the Democrats attempts to use the Katrina disaster to raise funds for the party.

WASHINGTON -- A new Democratic effort to whip up indignation about the Bush administration's handling of Hurricane Katrina also tried to raise money for Democratic candidates.

Sen. Charles Schumer, a New York Democrat and the head of the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee, issued an appeal Thursday urging people to sign an online petition to fire the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency over his handling of the Katrina response.

After an inquiry from the Associated Press, the DSCC quickly pulled down the page and said they would donate to charity any money raised by the anti-FEMA petition.

When recipients clicked on a link to the petition, the top center of the screen _ above the call to "Fire the FEMA director" _ had asked for a donation to the DSCC.

Other DSCC Web pages have the same appeal for contributions, but several do not.


I bet this doesn't make it into big media.

UPDATE

And the Democrats are trying to use Katrina to smear Supreme Court nominee Roberts.

This is how low these people are. They will use the suffering of anyone to further thier political ambition.
