Matt Lewis: Breaking: Dems Caught on Tape Joking About Hurricane! "God's on Our Side..."
Townhall.com Blog's TownHall Blog —
On the way to the GOP Convention, RedState's Erick Erickson happened to sit behind National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. What they joked about is very disturbing ... Clearly, he seems to find it hilarious that a hurricane is going to hit -- and he is delighted that it will have political ramifications to help the Democrats... Disgusting.

A contributor to RedState happened to be on a plane which yielded some interesting banter: On a plane from Denver to Charlotte following the Democrats’ convention, I found myself seated behind former National Chairman of the Democratic National Committee Don Fowler and Congressman John Spratt of South Carolina. Their conversation was interesting to say the least. For example, they made fun of Sarah Palin for several minutes, Fowler calling her ...
Democratic Leaders Laugh at New Orleans Hurricane
Weekly Standard Blog —
... about the time the Republican convention gets underway!
Fowler was Chairman of the Democratic National Committee from 1995-1997. He's the one on whom the camera is focused during this clip, laughing that New Orleans is going to get hit, and subsequently commenting that 'everything's cool.'
It's nice that Michael Moore isn't the only one that sees the upside of massive death and destruction.
