The environmentalists were correct

[malaise]

It's time to expose the RW radio and TV LIARS starting today.

[icymist]

1. That's pretty vague....

Could you please explain what the evironmentalists are correct about?

[Kajsa]

3. The explosion of the oil rig in the Gulf and its consequences.

Add to that every oil spill that has occurred from an offshore oil rig.

[icymist]

9. K&R now that I know what you're referring to.

:hi:

[Kajsa]

14. I'm glad I could help.

:hi:

[Kajsa]

2. Yes it is, Malaise!

The next time I see a 'Drill Baby Drill' bumper sticker or
hear a RWingnut talk about " environmental extremists"
I'm going to shove this #*%*& disaster down their ^&%* throats!

Do you hear that,Assemblyman Chuck Devore?!?

( he's an uberRWingnut running for the US Senate)

4. on one of the networks, they said drilling supporters were right

they said they were right to say drilling was safe because there hadn't been a serious accident in 30 years or whatever.

Which makes no sense, of course, but they said it. (Oh, and they didn't mention the people that were saying drilling wasn't safe).

[daleo]

6. Lots of smokers were "right" about smoking too

Right up until they got lung cancer.

You're right, it makes nosense.

[depakid]

15. There was a MAJOR accident last September!

And they would have known that if they weren't so head in the sand parochial that they don't pay any attention to what happens in the world beyond the US border.

[Robbien]

5. Which changes nothing

Oil companies will continue cutting costs making oil well drilling less safe and congresscritters will continue blessing them and continue ignoring us treehuggers.

7. How's That Oily-Drilly Thing Working For Ya???

The wingnuts will never admit their beloved big oil puppetmasters have done anything wrong here. It's just a little "spill"...the price you pay for being able to drive your hummer...the "price of freedom" :puke:

Now watch the oil companies claim shortages and the price of a gallon goes up to $4...and, right on cue, watch the GOOP shitstains blame this administration. These fukwads have no moral compass...

[Kajsa]

8. +1

you got that right, KharmaTrain.

[malaise]

12. When that scumbag Limbaugh can turn around

and blame the environmentalists, we know we're facing a complete inversion of reality.

You're right - all that matters to them are money and power.

10. The Environmentalists were indeed correct.

The Anti-Free Trade movement was/is correct.

The Anti-Iraq War people were correct.

The Anti-Afghanistan escalation people were correct.

The Anti-Wall Street Bailout people were correct.

The Anti Mandate without a Public Option people ARE correct.

The Pro-EFCA (Employee Free Choice Act) people are correct.

The "Break Up Anything Too Big to Fail" people are correct.

The "Cut Military Spending" not Social Programs people are correct.

The Roll Back the Reagan Tax Cut people are correct.

The Raise the SS Cap people are correct.

The anti-Unitary Executive people are correct.

The prosecute War Criminals and Torturers are correct.

The Transparent, Verifiable Elections people are correct. (Paper Ballots, publicly hand counted at the precinct, results posted on the door, election day holiday)

The Immediate Civil Rights and Equal Protections for EVERYBODY people are correct.

When you think about it, the Democratic Wing of the Democratic Party ("fucking retards") have been correct about damn near everything, and the Republicans and "Centrist" Democrats have been WRONG about damn near everything.

11. This is where we jump in and tell you all...

NUKE is not the answer, also.
We know of what we speak.

13. I do hope all of this puts a stop

to the exploratory drilling by Shell in the Chukchi and Beaufort Seas this summer. From what I understand -- and someone please correct me if I'm wrong -- the moratorium is on NEW leases and exploration, not ones that are already approved and scheduled.
