Barney Frank accuses Bush of genocide

Barney Frank accuses Bush of genocide
Bryan Preston (Hat tip: Michelle)

There’s no other way around it: When you accuse someone of perpetrating “ethnic cleansing” in any way, shape or form, you are accusing them of genocide.

Genocide. Let that word work its way around your mind for an moment. Genocide is the deliberate and systematic extermination of a national, racial, political, or cultural group. Think about that. And then watch the most grotesque public statement made by any elected official in the United States in the last 100 years.

No, I’m not kidding or reaching for the hyperbole. Rep. Barney Frank (D-MA) in the video below accuses the Bush administration of perpetrating “ethnic cleansing by hurricane” in Louisana after Katrina, in order to make Louisiana more Republican. The video and audio quality aren’t good, but the words are there. Listen a couple of times if you have to.

If you care about genocide, then you should care about GW Bush funding the TNI genocide of West Papua on behalf of his friends at Bechtel and Freeport McMoRan. Not even the US Congressmen have been allowed to ask their Section 1115 questions about this US funded genocide.
