I was speaking more of the interpretation side by folks, rather than the reporting side.

I think most of the "more liberal types" realized that this was not so much about racism but moreso about poverty, and most importantly about a lack of recognition by the Feds that prompt response was needed. The poor and working poor are not a GOP constituency--at least not with any weight in the party thinking. It is not at all an exaggeration to say the GOP doesn't care about poor people.
