Let me first start out by saying I have no love for BP, and I’m not trying to defend any of their actions and such. If any BP executive knowingly did anything to cause or neglect the oil spill situation then I hope charges will be brought if need be. I strongly hope a fair and independent commission will investigate this disaster on both BP’s and the governments role in it. Unfortunately, I don’t think fair will be involved as anything with dealing with the oil industry will be met with extreme bias.
However, what I have been seeing from the left has been nothing less than disgusting and hypocritical - two staples of liberalism. Whether it has been on forums, or social networks like Twitter and Facebook, I have seen so many comments from people demanding BP execs be jailed without trial, and even executed. I have seen so-called tech “celebrities” encouraging people to assault BP execs and even employees. The real funny thing, looking back through their comments these people have falsely accused the Tea Party of violence, and condemned them for being “angry”. Wow, what hypocrisy.
The real sad and pathetic part is these are people who stomp and cry for Constitutional rights for islamic terrorists, demand they have taxpayer funded public trials, and go out of their way to proclaim their innocence because they were captured on a battlefield.
This really shows the mentality of the left wing in this country.
