Charity For Katrina Victims Paying For A Big Party At Democrat National Convention
I have a hard time believing that people still claiming victim status nearly three years after the original storm are, in fact, victims still in need of charity...but even so. It seems more than a little inappropriate for a charity set up to help Katrina victims to be throwing a party for Democrat delegates at the national convention.
After months of planning for two dozen parties to fete the 56 delegations to the Democratic National Convention — and facing financial difficulties — the city’s host committee is scrapping those parties and holding one big bash.
Friends of New Orleans, a charity formed to help that city recover from the devastation of Hurricane Katrina, is paying for the party, and for a concert with New Orleans-style food at the Fillmore Auditorium afterward for the 6,000 delegates and their guests on Aug. 24, the Sunday before the convention opens.
It’s worth noting that Barack Obama still has an entire section on his campaign website devoted to Katrina. Perhaps he should ask himself why his political party is benefiting from lavish parties thrown by “charities” which are supposed to be helping the Katrina victims.
If anything, this proves how the victimhood mentality has become so ingrained on the liberal left that charities and organizations servicing it have become an industry unto themselves. To the point where they’re even defacto “corporate sponsors.” Which actually makes sense. These victim pimps lavish the Democrats with parties and such and the Democrats respond by appropriating ever larger chunks of our tax dollars to said charities.
It’s a symbiotic quid pro quo arrangement not unlike big business lobbying legislators for tax breaks and extra special regulatory treatment.
