one might question, but I would have to think no one would be so centered on John to think him to be the more unforgivable of the two. But, who knows?

And, on edit, it appears I "spoke too soon." Sigh....

3. Neither. But I'll boycott both.
I find it hard to be "angry" at a corporation. I guess some are (infinitely) worse than others and some are OK. At least we KNOW what we are dealing with when it comes to BP - a sociopath economy vampire with zero conscience.

And now we know what we are dealing with when it comes to Sir Elton.

4. BP. That's a no brainer.
What EJ did is trivial. What BP did is hugely significant.

6. This really isn't an apples-to-apples comparison.
By performing for Rush Limbaugh, Elton John validated Rush's hateful views.
BP killed people.

While both of them are worthy of ire, murder is in a separate category.

8. First thing I thought is that Elton would donate the million to AIDS organizations. nt
Or to the DNC.
