I'm collecting clips, quotes, and miscellaneous tidbits from various and sundry right-wing revisionists about how the hurricane Irene preparations, evacuations, and states of emergency were over-the-top, unnecessary, and wasteful. Specifically, if anyone has seen examples of fox news or their friends trying to paint reasonable foresight as media "hype", scaremongering tactics, etc.
I have collected around 15 examples, and will be putting them in a video, but if you've seen anything especially interesting, especially in local news, please let me know in comments, or share/PM them to me on my YouTube channel bushonomics.
I knew that, because the Obama administration and various governors actually took Irene's potential seriously--announcing states of emergency early for example--that our friends over at fox would do everything they could to paint preparedness as stupidity and precaution as silliness.
This is of course an attempt to paint Obama as just as ineffectual as Bush was before/during/after Katrina's aftermath. This of course is a steamng pile of bull feces. If enough of us point out that it is better to be safe than sorry, we might (slightly) diffuse this particular effort at revisionism.
Thank you for your help.
