Hey Rush-Only 10% Believe Your Hippies Sabotaged The Oil Rig Theory!
Ten percent of Americans believe environmentalists intentionally sabotaged the oil rig Deepwater Horizon off the Gulf Coast according to a poll released Tuesday, apparently as part of a ploy to reduce Americans' support for offshore drilling.

The surprising finding was contained in a poll released Tuesday by Public Policy Polling. Conservative radio host Rush Limbaugh floated the idea on his nationally syndicated talk show.

1. my brother and I were just discussing this
and my feeling is Rush is once again projecting.

Just because Republicans would sink so low as to do something like this, he feels Dems are capable of doing it too.

5. It's disturbing to me that the number is that high
That fat fuck must be chortling over this one, since it's a meme he can take all the credit for.

7. are you serious? i never heard that theory
ten percent of americans? smells like bullshit to me, it's pretty clear this was an accident, if there was any HINT of terrorist activity, BP would be passing the buck soooooo fucking fast

we're talking billions of dollars of lost income here, between what BP itself has to spend on this crap plus the huge losses to seafood and tourism...

this would NOT be kept quiet if it were an act of terror

9. H.I.P.P.I.E.S.!
So...the hippies are not only evil, they're very technically savvy. More technically savvy than BP or Halliburton. They blew the rig above the surface, they escaped (or were so committed to destroying the Gulf of Mexico that they died in the blast), AND their separate high tech op went down 5,000 feet to make sure the safety mechanisms in the pipeline permanently failed? That's some James Bond movie shit right there.

Damn you, hippies! DAMN YOU TO HELL!

Please, everyone, you must openly and loudly mock anyone you meet who comes within a mile of this in water cooler conversation.

10. of course, Rushbo doesn't believe that environmentalists actually care about the environment
that's why it's plausible for them to blow up rigs or melt Antarctica; becuase their agenda is to DESTROY MURKA! it also fits with Richard Berman's "ecoterrorist" meme

likewise, vegetarians and paper recyclers aren't doing it for the animals or forests, but to feel morally superior and put one over on the neighbors
