In a recent blog editorial from the Texas Rainmaker, Barack Obama Hates White People, the writer compares the disaster in Fargo to New Orleans. I guess you could say he is comparing the response of certain groups to the crisis as well as the actual disasters. The author gives a "conservative lawyer's view of the world through analysis and humor." The blogger is a well respected conservative spokesperson, quoted in the Wall Street Journal and Time Magazine (about Texas Rainmaker).
This particular column is geared towards a Bush administration loving audience, but addresses those who accused him of racism during hurricane Katrina. The Hollywood and media uproar over the levees breaking in New Orleans as a "government conspiracy" against black people, is again brought up for the white community in Fargo. Of course the author is not accusing Obama of racism against white people, but proving the ridiculousness of that accusation towards George Bush during Katrina.
This editorial thrives on the irony of the situation. It provides logical evidence concerning how people took advantage of an awful circumstance, Katrina, in order to bash conservative government leaders. The author implies that this was done in the hopes of falsely leading the nation to distrust it's leaders. This argues the point of bias in the media towards leaders of their leaning (A.K.A. the left).
Interestingly, the community in Fargo is responding differently to this crisis than those during Katrina, by "busting their asses in sub-freezing temperatures to help themselves." I would hope all Americans could respond this way and avoid making a very bad situation worse. This is a logical and straightforward argument, begging the questions that went unasked during the New Orleans disaster.
