I'm not sure, but now our good friends at MoveOn are using the disaster in an attack ad against John Roberts.  Sheesh, are these guys that desperate?  Seems like each time they attack someone, the only people they hurt are the party they represent.

"Group's TV ad uses storm's aftermath to target Roberts"

The televised images of poverty-stricken evacuees from Hurricane Katrina are part of a provocative, last-minute effort by a liberal interest group to divert federal Judge John Roberts' path to confirmation as chief justice.

MoveOn.org Political Action plans to unveil a TV ad on Monday that questions whether Roberts is sensitive enough to civil rights concerns to lead the Supreme Court. The ad suggests that the plight of the mostly African-American evacuees in New Orleans showed that poverty remains a serious problem among minorities, said Ben Brandzel, the group's advocacy director. In a mix of judicial and racial politics, the ad then suggests that minorities could suffer if the Senate confirms Roberts.

"The connection is obvious," Brandzel said. "The images after Hurricane Katrina show we still live in a society where significant racial inequities exist. We believe John Roberts' record on civil rights ... is clearly not the direction our country needs to head now."

Conservative groups such as the Committee for Justice accused their opposition of playing politics with the disaster on the Gulf Coast and saying that the conservative Roberts has favored several legal positions that would benefit minorities and the poor.

"It is sickening that some in Washington would politicize a national tragedy," said Sean Rushton, executive director of the Committee for Justice.

I just don't understand this tiny minoirty who really loath Roberts, he's seems like a pretty good fit for the court IMHO, and he's fairly moderate... I suppose it is simply because he's a conservative and for groups like MoveOn that all they need to demonise someone

Yeah.  I had no problem with them during the Clinton impeachment process, but ever since then, they've gone totally bonkers.  And while I understand that a majority of American realizes that MoveOn doesn't speak for them, I worry about the small group which follows their lead every step of the way.  But, that's modern politics.  Don't offer an alternative . . . just flame and destroy whatever you don't agree with.
