Jeff Koopersmith puts the smackdown on Ann Coulter's latest outburst: now she wants you to murder your kids for oil!
June 27, 2008 | Jeff Koopersmith
... Coulter complains that Barack Obama (who she continually calls B. Hussein, which accomplishes nothing but exposing her outright bigotry) wants to hit oil companies with windfall profits taxes. She claims that oil companies will simply raise the price of gasoline to make up for it. She doesn't realize that other measures could be taken to make certain they could not do this – including nationalizing the energy industry. It's clear that if we are willing to murder innocents in Arabia, we might just as casually think about taking control of the energy mess. And why not? It's pretty clear not only that unfettered grabs for cash really didn't work in this case (think Ken Lay), but that the mandarins that control the energy sector have not only looted the treasury and robbed the middle class but undermined our national security.
Republicans have worked hardest to ensure that Americans pay as much or more for fuel than anyone else on earth. They did it through their latest scam – The War on Terrorism® – which shocked the world with its stupidity and awed the markets, which became convinced that one had to "get all the money you can now" because nothing will be left in short order thanks to George Bush Jr. and his boss Dick "Dick" Cheney.
