Isn't the Gulf Oil Disaster just another "Liberal Media" concoction?
I wonder how Limblah, Hannity, Beck, OReilly and the rest in their stable of psychos will spin this disaster so they can blame the media, Obama, or the victims in Louisiana and the rest of the Gulf Coast. Right wingers ALWAYS blame the victims. They always support the perpetrators, the rich and the powerful. And they always support business over human beings. It makes you wonder about who listens to and believes them. Are they all abusers and victimizers of others? No normal person could listen to these abusers without becoming sick at the total lack of regard for other human beings.

Limblah blamed the miners for the cave explosion. And his listeners keep tuning in. Just what kind of people listen to Limblah, Hannity, Beck and their ilk? There has to be something mentally wrong with them. If you can believe it, Limblah is already blaming President Obama for the oil disaster and his response to it, saying it is worse than Bush's NON-response to Katrina.

As Jim Trafficant, the representative from Ohio, used to say in his one-minute speeches to the house in the mornings "Beam me up Scotty", in total disbelief at the absurdity of what was going on. He had the guts to call members of both parties political prostitutes. Say what you want about Jim, he at least had guts and that is probably why both democrats and republicans in the house turned on him and had him removed...

BTW: Jim Trafficant was so independent-minded he spoke at the Reform Party's inaugural convention in Kansas City. He received a standing ovation. I was a founding delegate to the convention. I met Jim afterwards and spoke with him for a half hour. I loved the way he so easily spoke his mind without mincing his words as 99 percent of politicians do. Just after Jim spoke Granny D gave a speech which had everyone on their feet cheering and applauding wildly. God bless Granny D because she just passed away last month...

1. They MIGHT blame BP
Which is, after all, a British company. However, they'll cover with volume what they're not covering with their words, and yes, Obama and the Democrats will be wholly to blame for any perceived shortfall in the response. Oh, and the only victims worth noting will be the overrich and their overpriced beach properties.

2. Lush Rimbaugh apostles find that worshiping him is easier and cheaper than tithing to a
crappy old church with a Librul (Christlike) agenda that has no media cachet.

3. Well,
we may be witnessing the Crime of the Century, early on. Brought to you, of course, by the miracle of free market capitalism at its unbridled best. And what party and whose Administration(s) are so enthusiastic about that cancerous, malignant ideology now metastasizing around us?

4. Sean Hannity will be screaming "Where are the buses?"
He seems to think that buses are the answer to every disaster. And there will be ANOTHER black person NOT sending those buses.

No, the fallout from this will be HUGH. This will affect MILLIONS of livelihoods all around the Gulf coast. Other countries will be affected. Lawsuits will be filed by the thousands.

They WON'T be able to ignore this, minimize this or blame it all on Obama.

6. Hannity is such a coward...
I've challenged him to on air debates countless times but he is terrified of this one lone veteran. He likes to say he supports the troops, but he is terrified to debate me. I'm not surprised at his cowardice though, because Hannity even ran from serving in our country's military, just like EVERY other right wing radio host and Fox News talking heads. All cowards...
