where a hospital collapsed and people were screaming for help

Alright, that is a pretty chilling mental picture and a horrid way to go. I can think of few things more terrifying.

Vernon has a valid point. Everybody wants our money and support with no strings attached, as if the US owes them something, and how dare we expect anything in return.

Worked with a guy from Indonesia when the tsunami hit. He chided Bush for sending a measly $10 million at the time. It felt good to ask him - how much did Indonesia send the US when Katrina hit? The pause in the conversation was very telling.

Also, just once wouldn't you love to hear some country like Pakistan or even Israel say - hey America, we hear you're broke, we'll pass on this years hand-out - we don't expect anything from you.

A Human tragedy is happening at this moment in Haiti, an the best the Conservative peanut gallery can do is try an be cute. You Fucks make me sick!!!!!

Maybe someone should tell Fox News that there is a real Human tragedy going on this minute. CNN AND MSNBC are covering the News with the seriousness it deserves. Fox News is showing repeats of the Orielly and Hannity shows, WHAT ABOUT THE FUCKING NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!! These Fucks have no sense of real News, they are here only to attack the Democrats and anyone who doesn't think so is beyond any Help!!!!!

Good point Celisary. I see wall to wall coverage of the biggest news story of the new year on the real news networks, CNN and MSNBC, but FOX has a rebroadcast of Hanutty, smug piece of shit. I guess FOX is giving up any claim to being an actual news network with this one. Maybe there's no FOX coverage because they can't figure out a way to blame Obama or the Democrats for this.

I heard one estimate that with the amount of damage, there could be as many as 100,000 dead or seriously injured, and the Talibaptists/Convenient Conservative/Repuklicans who are making jokes here are showing just how much Christian compassion they really have. But then since FOX isn't covering the story, maybe they don't know what's happened, FOX hasn't told them how to feel, and certainly they've not been given their FOX approved talking points!

Let me help you assholes: Obama's fault! Ried's fault! Pelosi's fault! Democrats fault! Stimulus' fault!

Poor Haiti.

Hopefully relief efforts aren't stymied too badly by the situation on the ground there.

Planned Parenthood promotes abortion in every inner-city in AMerica. They are not on Madison Avenue. They are in Flatbush, Brownsville, Bedsty.
While, immoral women from the Upper Eastside have abortions too, it is usually a result of walking on the dangerous side and dating a guy like Chambers. Face it the abortion doctors in the inner cities are alot busier than the clinics in Hazzard County

A couple of years ago after a hurricane ravaged Haiti (again) I took a cab here in Ft. Lauderdale which had a Haitian driver. I just asked him if he had any family members who were effected by the storm, he just about broke down and cried. He had lost several family members and I happened to be the first American who had even asked him. We have many thousands of Haitians here in S. Florida and I'm sure most don't even know if their relatives are ok. This is a terrible tragedy and I hope Americans can put aside our xenophobia and selfishness and try our best to help the Haitian people.

My question: Why is Jesus so offensive to the tolerant crowd?

Comforting to see that the US does not send drones and bombs only

In spite of my misgivings and beefs about the us they are there in days of need

From as much as I scanned, it appears the worst of the bad have happened in the last 100 years and appear to be escalating.

In the past 100 years, people have been studying the earth in more detail and recording disasters in more isolated regions because there are more humans on the planet to observe these events and better technology permits better observations. Ooooh... spooky.

Jesus doesn't offend me at all. I merely take issue with the incredibly stupid things that get said by people who believe in him.

Actually, it's just some people that believe in him. Most Christians find a way to be entirely reasonable individuals - which leads me to believe it isn't that difficult. For whatever reason, others go off the deep end.

Thing is.. you can't notice the difference in the before and after picture.

Doc, yer slayin' me! That was hilarious.

Ok, on a different note, and at the risk of sounding callous, does anyone else think this may be an opportunity for Haiti to "wipe the slate clean"? Most of the housing was shanty or mud hut, there was no infrastructure to speak of and tourists avoided the place like the plague due to the horrific crime level. Mother Nature has now given, at great cost, a choice to the Haitian people (and the world who will fund it): give up and continue as you were or start from scratch and build something worth having.

You know (we all know) that the international community (the US in particular) will be writing big checks for the Haitians. It's time to make that money count. No more shantytowns. Contract EcoShells or concrete monolithic construction for the overwhelming preponderence of home and business construction. Bring in wind, solar and tidal energy production technologies. Rahm-bo Emmanual (sp) said to never waste a crisis: well here you go. Green proponents worldwide should be uniting right now to turn Haiti into a showpiece that can demonstrate to the world that they're right.

Of course, if they screw it up..........

"Thing is.. you can't notice the difference in the before and after picture."

Oh, that's just so funny. Gee, I wonder if Haitians were making jokes on 9-11???

Just think how much more help we could give to the victims of tragedies in our own hemisphere if we didn't invade and occupy Muslim countries on the other side of the planet. Our neglect of our own hemisphere is going to come back and bite us in the ass.

right????

I say this with 100% sincerity...Who the fuck cares about what happened in Haiti?
I'm already sick and tired of hearing about it.

We'll send tons of money, food, and other aid, and nobody will thank us or appreciate it.

Fuck those 3rd world losers. No more news coverage, no more money and food being sent their way.

-We'll send

"We"?

I thought Grace Jones apologized to you for the little, "misunderstanding"?

Like the Iraqi GI shower deaths, a lesson in why we need building codes. The US has survived large earthquakes with minimal death and destruction. Our building codes for structures, pressure piping and vessels and electrical work have saved many lives.

Poverty sucks and Haiti is the worst in our hemisphere. Haiti's condition was predetermined by France, who took everything of value before agreing to leave. When Shrub forced the freely elected Aristide out and reinstituted a military dictatorship, starvation and disease increased.

List of aftershocks in the region:

The main prison building in Port au Prince has collapsed - escaped convicts fleeing.

The US will respond--like we always do.

There are containers being assembled right now in LA and Atlanta to go there.

They are search and rescue. They have to be self sufficient--so they pack everything.

What is Cuba doing to help??

How about Venezuela-what is mr. pineapple head sending?

I heard they have 9,000 UN people working in that building which is a pancake--all feared to be dead.

Like the Iraqi GI shower deaths, a lesson in why we need building codes.

We had a 6.5 here in Humboldt county and while there was moderate damage there were no deaths. My internet access went down for 5 minutes! But the power stayed on in most places. Mostly the supermarkets had a big mess in the liquor isles to clean up. The Bayshore Mall was closed for days while they repaired some ceiling tiles.

The difference I suspect is the stricter building codes. Most of the damage that did occur to buildings was on the older brick and masonry buildings.

I am not sure why I see folks complaining about lack of US help. Did you check before you said that? There are many folks and rescue agencies gearing up to go. The quake just happened last night and it takes time to muster resources. You can do your part by contributing rather than bitching also.

I wish these folks luck and hope the help arrives soon. The recent earthquake was a wake up call to us to revisit our earthquake and disaster preparedness. Something we all should do. The lesson is it takes time for help to arrive and you should be able to last for days or even weeks if necessary.

We have a disaster kit for our family with food water and first aid but something I overlooked was cash. I noticed all I had on me were atm and credit cards and if he power had gone out for days we would have had no cash. Also another thing that we needed was a better family plan as we were scattered all over and it took a while for the phones to start working again.

remember you cannot control or predict an earthquake or disaster but you can prepare and control your own ability to recover. Don't depend on outside help to save you. Save yourself and then you may be able to help others too.

We don't have money for either. Therefore, we should be doing neither.

"OK, what would you have said to Haiti???"

What did they say to us on 9/11 or after Katrina? "I'm sorry this happened to you." What else can you say? If they ask for money, I would say "Sorry, we don't have it." I wouldn't be lying. Screwing over the next generation of Americans to help Haitians - when your fucking job is to worry about the welfare of Americans and its a position you campaigned for - is not the morally unassailable position many seem to believe it is.

"Screwing over the next generation of Americans to help Haitians"

Very short sighted. Future generations of Americans will be better off if most Haitians remain in Haiti. I would expect that millions are going to look at this disaster and decide to try and enter this country. In the long run I think we are better off helping them even from a selfish point of view.

i'm sure lovely friend israel wouldn't mind if we took the money we give them every year and sent it to the poor haitians for the next decade.

Very interesting site. From as much as I scanned, it appears the worst of the bad have happened in the last 100 years and appear to be escalating.

that's because there are far more people to be impacted.

"Very short sighted. Future generations of Americans will be better off if most Haitians remain in Haiti. I would expect that millions are going to look at this disaster and decide to try and enter this country. In the long run I think we are better off helping them even from a selfish point of view."

I don't think its short sighted to discount a consequence that is easily avoided. Tell them we aren't accepting millions of refugees form anywhere at this time because our government is broke.

This disaster affects us only to the extent that our leadership is determined to make sure it does.

"I don't think its short sighted to discount a consequence that is easily avoided. Tell them we aren't accepting millions of refugees form anywhere at this time because our government is broke."

Like that will stop them. They arrive on our beaches here daily. The only thing you could do is sink their boats and I don't think we are quite ready to do that.

We don't have money for either. Therefore, we should be doing neither.

"i'm sure lovely friend israel wouldn't mind if we took the money we give them every year and sent it to the poor haitians for the next decade."

Some people have suggested that Obama is willing to risk being a one term president if that's what he has to do to pass his health care plan.

If any president were willing to risk being a one term president by cutting off Israel (as a financial dependent, not an ally), he would be one of the greatest individuals in this country's history. Personally, I think if you cut off Israel early in Year 1 of your term and then allowed the pro-Israel wackos to spend four years jumping up and down and screaming about how Israel's needs should be met by our government before our own, there would be a tremendous backlash against the Israel first movement in this country.

All that said, I don't see any connection between this and Haiti. We truthfully don't have money to give either.

"Like that will stop them. They arrive on our beaches here daily. The only thing you could do is sink their boats and I don't think we are quite ready to do that."

But to say that millions of people would be able to boat their way over here isn't true. They don't even have enough boats. LOL. And it would be much more noticable on this end and we could find a way of stopping it assuming we really want to do so.

Bush's fault

IS anyone confirming the "hundreds of thousands" numbers?

"They don't even have enough boats."

They will find the boats. You'd see (probably will now due to the earthquake) Haitians who already came here going back to Haiti to pick up family and friends just like the Mariel boat lift only much larger and much further which will cause many more deaths. Haitians die all the time trying to get here in flimsy boats.

I'll take your word for it. I used to have a Haitan neighbor but all I really know about Haitans is that Jamaicans get PISSED if you call them Haitan.

I don't think it would be that hard to stop millions of people coming over by boat if we really wanted to do so but we'll have to agree to disagree on that.

The US military is already responding. The USS Carl Vinson Carrier Strike Group and the USS Nassau Expeditionary Strike Group are already enroute. The USS Comfort (hospital ship) has recalled her crew in preparation to head south. The coast guard is already there. P-3 Orions are scanning the destruction and relaying information to rescue teams.
Just like they did after the devastating tsunamis, the US military will have essentially set up two floating cities capable of providing medical facilities, rapid airlift and rescue and coordination of efforts within 48 hours of the earthquake. And will probably not receive thanks or be remembered by those liberals who would prefer to take the money it costs to run our military and give it to ACORN so they can go buy elections.

The only reason Obama was so quick to act was because Haitians are black. If this happend in Ireland he would tell them to drink a beer

It's the Dominicans that get pissed if you call them Haitians.

.the people that OBAMA IS KILLING WITH DRONES never got a trial...

True, yet some how 7 years ago you were cheering your hero when he started those wars.

#137 TIMBECILE

Exactly!!! Nail on the head flag right here!

"It's the Dominicans that get pissed if you call them Haitians."

I imagine that there are many people who dont' want to be called Haitan. I've been told by Jamaicans that they specifically don't like being confused with Haitans.

Nail IN the head flag, more likely.

If I was a Dominican citizen, I would go to Haiti and barter bottles of water for sex. I would turn some young Haitian women into my whores and put them on the street for American tourists. Only light skinned though. Reid was right.

"I imagine that there are many people who dont' want to be called Haitan."

Virtually all of the Caribbean island peoples consider their own group to be superior to the others. I have known some very impressive Hatian people, very smart and very determined to succeed. I've also know some not so bright. Same with all the various groups.

Living in Miami, I have noticed that it seems no Spanish subgroup likes any other Spanish subgroup: starting with Islanders and Main Landers hating eachother, then each Island hates the other Islands and each Main land country hates all the others too.

That's alota hate....No wonder they vote Democrat.

Stir,
They vote Republican mostly. They say "Democrats are left and Communism is left so Democrats are Communists."

Drudge just put up this story about the video from Eureka during the 6.5. I don't buy the theory a bout the sixth sense though.

Bush's fault.

"Living in Miami, I have noticed that it seems no Spanish subgroup likes any other Spanish subgroup: starting with Islanders and Main Landers hating eachother, then each Island hates the other Islands and each Main land country hates all the others too."

This is mostly true where there is a huge Spanish speaking population. Where there are less Spanish speaking people, they gravitate towards each other regardless of nationalist rivalries.

Part of my family is Spanish and most of the older generation of Spaniards were real bad with this. They would be highly insulted if you suggested they have anything in common with South Americans, for example (although I have noticed many cultural similarities). Definitely a racial thing too. They're European, they would say. Some of them would go so far as to pretend they don't speak Spanish. My grandma actually enjoyes conversing in Spanish with anyone who will speak it with her and is always willing to help with translations to English and stuff like that because she remembers being an immigrant herself. It is funny because when we were in Spain, I saw her get into several fights with people (she pretty much renounced her Spanish citizenship during this trip, lol) but Spanish speaking people from other countries who she meets in the US usually love her.

Everybody but the Venezuelans think the Venezuelans are the worst.

They, of course, think they are the best.

Sure Danni, he gets a pass then. So by that logic, you didn't have a problem with Bush continuing to read to the kids that sunny September day?

Obama is not going to do anything until he's told to do so.

Bogey, that is not true. He stops and starts his negro dialect all the time, just ask Harry.

W didn't comment on the Shoe Bomber for 6 days, so is he twice the inept President you purport Obama to be? W's phony Texas accent is a hoot too. Videos of him in the 80's? Not a trace. Yaley all the way. Even drunk.

First of all douche-bag, don't assume that someone that is against this administration is somehow pals with W and his gang of spenders. My point was that the same people that criticized that buffoon for not sending the kids into a panic that day are the ones making up excuses for Obama's golf game.

Do you know what W didn't do when he discussed teh shoe bomber? He didn't call it an event of "isolated extremism." He recognized it for what it was. While the guy couldn't keep from spending us into oblivion (which surprisingly has been made even worse, wouldn't have thought that possible), he could recognize and address danger.

Uh, sure Obama takes terrorism with a grain of salt. That's the oldest GOP meme since 9/11. Before that it was 'weak on defense'.
If you're going to start a reply with an insult, don't expect people to read further. Shows a real lack of intellect on your part.

back on topic regarding the thousands (hundreds odf thousands) who may have died whilst you are bickering...some sites who may be able to make a difference that you can donate to.

There are those of us out here in the shadows that still believe in the Constitution of this country, and we're coming for the dirtballs people like you have put in power that place their party over the people.

Donnerboy... oxfam.org is another great one

BRENT

It's no surprise you can't formulate a decent response.

BTW, it wasn't W who singlehandedly doubled the budget or national debt. The GOP Congress did that all by themselves. Bush didn't veto a single bill his first 6 years. You should be happy the Democrats actually have the OMB score bills to ascertain their impact on the deficit and ensure they're revenue neutral, unlike, say, the completely unfunded Medicare Part D fiasco, where they made negotiating for drug prices ILLEGAL.

I'll bet that Harry Reid is happy that the news of all the deaths of dark skinned negroes in Haiti are taking the spotlight away from his racist remarks.

Geez

Eb

I can't recall implying happiness over the GOP's inept, fiscally reckless governance from anyone, but I did point out that the Dems are having the OMB score bills to ensure they're revenue neutral. It's quite funny watching watching the very same GOP politicians who nearly doubled the federal budget and more than doubled the national debt in 8 years now whine about deficits and debt.

au"You should be happy the Democrats actually have the OMB score bills to ascertain their impact on the deficit and ensure they're revenue neutral, unlike, say, the completely unfunded Medicare Part D fiasco, where they made negotiating for drug prices ILLEGAL."

Kind of like how the o did w/ big pharma over the healthcare bill?

Wyclef John, Haitian recording sartist, has had a tax deductible charity for several years doing many good works in Haiti.

100% of proceeds go directly to relief efforts (unlike most).

#175 | Posted by Dalton

Nothing like it at all. We get something in return for the WH deal with PhARMA, unlike the unfunded, trillion dollar Medicare Part D fiasco.

what do we get?

Commitment of up to $80 billion, but not more than $80 billion.

1. Agree to increase of Medicaid rebate from 15.1 - 23.1% ($34 billion)

2. Agree to get FOBs done (but no agreement on details -- express disagreement on data exclusivity which both sides say does not affect the score of the legislation.) ($9 billion)

3. Sell drugs to patients in the donut hole at 50% discount ($25 billion)
This totals $68 billion

4. Companies will be assessed a tax or fee that will score at $12 billion. There was no agreement as to how or on what this tax/fee will be based.
Total: $80 billion

but I did point out that the Dems are having the OMB score bills to ensure they're revenue neutral.

How did that work for STIMULUS 1??

Was that neutral??

How about the budget/defense appropriations bill for 700 billion??

Was that neutral??

And face it--you don't know what the HC bill looks like.

No one does--and it won't be deficit neutral--you can bet the mortgage on that!

"Thousands Hoped Dead in Haiti"

The earth has a way of lessening even its most minor of burdens...

A pity Nature hasn't gotten around to dealing with you... yet.

If you feel like donating, here are a couple organizations where 98-100% of donations go to direct disaster relief in Haiti:

Wyclef John's Yele.org, who've been helping thousands in Haiti since 2005. 100% of donations go to direct relief. You can use your cell phone to text "Yele" to 501501, which will automatically donate $5 to the Yele Haiti Earthquake Fund (it will be charged to your cell phone bill), or you can click this link to DONATE:

Those reluctant to give credit card info for online donations can donate to Save The Children Haiti Emergency Fund via PayPal. 92% of each donation goes to direct disaster relief.

(PayPal has partnered with Save The Children's Haiti relief efforts and are waiving any fees for donations).

AmericanUnity...your compassion for this disaster almost makes me overlook your general douche-bagginess...ALMOST.

I'm surprised you don't demand federal tax dollars go to this disaster...wait, you want the money to be more effective? So charity's ARE more effective than government programs? Or is this another one of your double standards?

"Mark 13:8 - "For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be earthquakes in divers places, and there shall be famines and troubles: these are the beginnings of sorrows." check."

Nanc, this isn't something "new". Everything listed above has been going on since long before anyone worshipped the God of Abraham. Not exactly a recent development, or a sign of anything.

Horrible tragedy.
For you conservatives, I'm sure some of the last thoughts of these people were:
"I'm glad I live in a society where contractors didn't have to toil under the yoke of Big Government building codes and fire codes."

As the world witnessed and reaches out to the tragedy in Haiti, Olbermann capitalizes on the situation to push ObamaCare:

"what health care reform really means" in Haiti's "awful message of nightmarish reality."

"A slightly heavier earthquake in California could do extraordinary devastation to San Francisco or Los Angeles. I was thinking about this -- and maybe it's inappropriate and tell me if I'm inappropriate in asking it -- but how would survivors of something like this here fare in terms of getting on their own feet economically afterwards, with the health care system we have in place right now?"

"Uh, sure Obama takes terrorism with a grain of salt. That's the oldest GOP meme since 9/11. Before that it was 'weak on defense'."

Considering the pants bomber did not act alone and that the attack is part of a larger pattern of Muslim extremists trying to kill Americans at random - particularly but using airplanes to do so - dismissing this as an isolated case of extremism is "taking it with a grain of salt".

I didn't know Obama had said this. Its disappointing to realize that our CIC apparently believes being politically correct is more important than accurately representing the threat represented by this attack and the accomplices who remain at large.

The fact that this REALITY mirrors a GOP talking point doesn't make it any less true.

From as much as I scanned, it appears the worst of the bad have happened in the last 100 years and appear to be escalating.

#68 | Posted by nanc

that's because there are far more people to be impacted.

That and better media coverage.
And the numbers are, according to the Red Cross about 50,000.

The European Commission on Wednesday provided three million euros in initial aid to earthquake-ravaged Haiti, and carried out an EU-coordinated response to the humanitarian crisis in the Caribbean island nation.

Cuba, which felt the quake, sent 30 doctors to add to its medical staff already in Haiti. Brazil said it was sending 10 million dollars in immediate aid, while Peru, Venezuela, Mexico, Colombia, Guatamala and Chile also promised help.

Reality and the right....

By all fucking means lets make this political. Just remember it in the future.

too late

Wouldnt really call my statement political so much as an observation of the "fuck americans" attitude everyone (not just in politics) seems to have the last decade or so.

Food, jobs, money, resources etc when people here need them just as much if not more shipped out to places where a large portion of it ends up in the pockets of whoever with a bare fraction being used as intended.

Just tought I'd clarify.

Loh

So charity's ARE more effective than government programs?

BRENT

In a case like this, it takes a massive coordinated effort. It seems the major problem, Port Au Prince's airport - which lost power and whose ATC tower was heavily damaged - has been remedied through our military sending air traffic controllers, generators, and other equipment to make the airport a 24/7 operable facility. Their port has been rendered inoperable as well. I'd guess SeaBees are working on a solution for that as we speak.

Most of us Americans are good hearted people, as I'm sure you are as well. If I have to be something in your eyes, a douche bag isn't that bad a thing to be. LOL Take care man.

Please send any Money to the the Francois Duvalier Foundation to promote positive aspects of the Duvalier presidency and improve fortunes of the National Unity Party.

"Since Jean-Claude left, there's no work, no food, no nothing. Only burning tires, people getting killed and kidnappings," Jesus Duvernois, 71, said at a gathering last week to mark Papa Doc's 100th birthday. "Without Duvalier, there is no country."

It would be cheaper to give every haitian a credit card with 1000 dollars on it and give them a cruise ship ticket to Florida, than to get the military involved for two weeks.
And 2 million haitians with 1000 dollars in their pocket would do WONDERS for the Florida economy!

But the fools have locked the Haitians on the Island and they CAN'T LEAVE!

Whoever orderd this ought to be horse whipped and fired.

Now is the time to bring them into the US while the children are still alive!

I'll take four children myself! I am sure two familis in every city in America woudl take a child, that would solve the problem.

US government needs to hire 20 cruise ships NOW and pick up all the haitians and put them in the FEMA detntion camps until each family can be placed.
HAITIANS are HARD WORKERS and they like to help, they are a great addition to any family.
We have two of them already, very nice people.

They don't need money
Do not send money, it will end up in the wrong hands.
Call your congressman, get the hatians here. Government and military already have money
the legitimite people already have money

The ones asking for money are shysters.

we need haitians transferred away from that zone, MAKES NO SENSE to take supplies there

CHEAPER TO BRING THEM HERE TO WALLMART AND ARBIES and PIZZA HUT and give the HAITIANS the money
it will stimulate our economy!

(Course that is not what they want, they want your cash- Majority of Katrina money went to the groups and they got bloated.
victims never saw a dime.

Do not send money

When Hillary says send money, you can bet they aint getting it.

Here is the plan they are doing:

1.LOCK THE PEOPLE ON THE ISLAND.
2.Throw money at relif agencies who are in bed with the rich, who were appointed my millionaires.
3. Watch the people die.
4. Spend the money.

The REAL PLAN IS
OPEN THE BORDERS
BRING THEM HERE
GIVE THEM FOOD AND CLOTHES
LET FAMILIES TAKE THEM IN

Only way this will work.

Otherwise a million will die.

I'll take four children myself! I am sure two familis in every city in America woudl take a child, that would solve the problem
