Fuck You, Sarah Palin.
Sarah Palin Blames Environmentalists For Gulf Oil Disaster

In her latest note on Facebook, Sarah Palin is blaming "extreme 'environmentalists'" for causing the gulf oil disaster that has been unfolding for over a month. Her logic is that because environmentalists push for tougher drilling regulations onshore in places like the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (also known as ANWR) it forces oil companies to explore deeper offshore drilling which has more risks.

Palin writes:

With nonsensical efforts to lock up safer drilling areas, all you're doing is outsourcing energy development, which makes us more controlled by foreign countries, less safe, and less prosperous on a dirtier planet. Your hypocrisy is showing. You're not preventing environmental hazards; you're outsourcing them and making drilling more dangerous.
Extreme deep water drilling is not the preferred choice to meet our country's energy needs, but your protests and lawsuits and lies about onshore and shallow water drilling have locked up safer areas. It's catching up with you. The tragic, unprecedented deep water Gulf oil spill proves it.


This is one of several comments about the oil spill Palin has made that has caused a stir, including a tweet in which she said we said we shouldn't trust BP because it is a foreign oil company. Palin's husband Todd worked for BP for 18 years.

1. Doesn't suprise me. Not at all.
She's just rabblerousing and making it up as she goes along. You KNOW she doesn't know what she's talking about.

2. I heard there was a huge pool of oil under a 14-foot high fence in Wasilla, AK. We need to start
drilling immediately.

4. Conservatives are tying themselves in knots trying to blame this on liberals.
My guess is the Bush/Cheney loving "get big government out of the way and drill baby drill" crowd are experiencing some guilt and trying to compensate for it.

5. Guilt? Are you serious? Darth Vader doesn't have a drop of guilt in his body.
he doesn't even know what guilt is.

that, along with empathy, sympathy, honesty, integrity, and a slew of other qualities that he does not have.

6. I think this is a good time to once again ask:
"What happened to the electric car?" We need to abandon oil rigs in the oceans and those politicians with ties to oil industry lobbyists. If this 'event' in the Gulf of Mexico isn't a sign for us to change I don't anything else would work.

10. Dim witted broad
The oil companies drill where they expect to find Oil. It does not matter where it is found Thats where they drill. this disaster is a direct result of Oil companies forgetting the past (safety procedures and how to stop a blow out) and Deregulation. (not forcing the Oil comps to practice safely)

12. Big time fail
Pretty much proof positive that has no idea how much energy the US consumes and and what's the percentage of the world's oil reserves reside within our borders.

(Clue for Caribou Barbie: No where freaking enough for what we consume)

14. Sarah. Palin. Is. Just. CRAZY.
The woman should not be left to her own devices.

She's a nut bag. Has a big screw loose. Delirious. A psychopath. Mentally unsound. Unable to face reality.

Which means NOTHING she says should be considered relevant. Get the woman some help, and shut her up before she encourages others to do something stupid.

15. I dare you, Sarah, to go one-on-one with Rachel Maddow.You know you're too stupid
to be in the same room with her and all you'd say is that
Rachel gave you "gotcha questions."
That's all you have.  It reminds me of people who invoke
"god" as an answer and we're all
supposed to not question them.  Hmmm...Bush comes to mind with
this.

18. Does Palin blame the police in alleged addict Limbaugh's hometown for shutting
down local prostitution and drug rings so that he has to travel to DR for his fixes?

21. "You MADE us do it."
"We warned you! Oh wait no we didn't.

You warned us! Stupid Greenies!

See what you made us do?"


So BP is canning this "Tony" BP spokesman guy.

May the x 1st dude of Alaska could get a job with BP again.
