My Big-Mouth NEOCON brother just blamed "ENVIRONMENTALIST!"

[Jeffersons Ghost]

Isn't it time to stop looking for others to blame? The oil-spill isn't our fault. I told him that "I, as an environmentalist, don't like using oil at all." "I don't support deep-water drilling, shallow-water drilling or drilling in Texas." I told him, "Ethanol is better."

[monmouth]

1. He may have copied that from Krauthamer..n/t

[Jeffersons Ghost]

3. who?

[gratuitous]

5. Yep, Charles Krauthammer's column today

After carefully examining the situation, the negligence and malfeasance of the multinational corporations involved, who cut corners so they could make even more profits, Krauthammer determined that the fault for the oil platform’s explosion should be placed squarely on the shoulders of . . . environmentalists!

I didn’t really follow the “logic,” but somewhere in his addled little mind, it all made sense to Krauthammer and his editors at the librul Washington Post.

7. sounds dumb to me...

Do other "environmentalists" support shallow-water exploration?

[BeFree]

10. hmmmm

Do enviros support using gasoline in their cars?

[Jeffersons Ghost]

22. I don't. I say use ethanol or better yet PGA

[rurallib]

15. I heard this on 5 minutes of drugRush i heard lasr week

"Environmentalists made it so difficult to drill for oil on land that the oil companies had to move offshore."
That, folks, is logic at its best.

21. we should drill for CRAP on the air

[Robbie88]

17. I saw that also.

Apparently those poor, helpless oil companies were forced into deep sea drilling by those big, mean, and much more politically powerful environmentalists. Who knew? :eyes:

[monmouth]

18. Thanks for posting that, I went out and came back too late. I should

have posted the link..

[JHB]

19. He's been thumping that drum ever since the rig blew.

I don't really follow his column, but he was on camera opining away at least two weeks ago.

[DFW]

2. Remind him not to forget the Libbruls n/t

[tridim]

4. That meme is directly from Limbaugh.

Tell him to quit believing the insane fantasies of a known junkie.

[Subdivisions]

6. Ethanol here, starvation elsewhere. n/t

[Critters2]

9. Ethanol doesn't have to be made from corn.

It can be made from other plants that are typically not food crops.

Do you have a better solution?

[Critters2]

8. How does he figure? nt

[HillbillyBob]

12. He is so sure that some librul treehugger swam out there

and planted a bomb right? Didn't Rash say something like that the day after the explosion.

Sorry to say to the OP, your brother is an idiot..Im going through the same kind of crap with my family now. Which only pushes me further away. I have not talked to my mom since MothersDay. Prior to that we had a few 'conversations' where she started with Beck said and Bello said..I said you need to find somewhere else to get news.
What we can agree on is getting corporations out of our government and public campaign funding..because campaign bribes put things that are against our best interets. By the way you know those teabaggers you like so much..Dick Armey ? He took $ to lobby congress for an Iranian group who is on the terrorist watch list. Oh and Don Blankenship donated to that so called health care reform bus..you know the one with the bloody hand? yea. Well he just killed 29 people in the Big Branch mine..you know the area where your mother grew up, by cutting the unions out and elimiating safety in the name of profit..so that bloody hand is kind of appropriate don't ya think? It took a minute to grasp that, she isn't slow, just getting brainwashed watching that shit on fuxnoize.

11. Tell him, Damn right, it's Nixon's fault. He started it all with his damn EPA. nt

[sinkingfeeling]

13. Rush, the blimp, said this last week. His 'logic' was if environmentalists hadn't complained about

drilling on shore, in places like ANWR, the oil companies wouldn't be drilling off shore. He said the Sierra Club should have to pay for the BP mess.

I suggested we begin oil drilling and exploration in his Palm Beach back yard.

[arcane1]

14. Sigh...

none are more stupid than the willfully stupid :(

[liberalmike27]

16. It is a Bizarro World

these days. Clearly, keeping our population so ignorant, and using the media to further confuse folks, has worked well for the evil Republican forces.

[TheKentuckian]

20. Does he even attempt to make a case why he believes that tortured "logic"?

or just crazy talking points as usual from his mentality?

[JerseygirlCT]

23. Krauthammer's latest insanity... nt
