Red State's Erickson Goes There

Erick son of Erick is defending Rep Joe Barton (R-TX) and BP.

What is wrong with BP accepting responsibility for a their actions? Why shouldn't BP compensate folks that it harmed? Plenty apparently. It is a SHAKE DOWN!!!!!

Here is Erickson's beef:

And now, marvel at the results. British Petroleum commits to a $20 billion escrow account to pay for damages. The Democrats get a show trial. The government has a vested interest in ensuring BP does not go belly up lest the $20 billion go the way of the dodo bird, gas prices will probably start trickling up, and BP will pay out damages to people put on the unemployment line by Barack Obama’s egregious action to shut down all deep water drilling. About the only safe bet now is British Petroleum stock — they just became too big to fail.

In Washington, BP will keep doling out contributions to Democrats through other entities and everyone will sleep well at night knowing not a single thing will really change.

Have I told you about my windmills? Ignore the oil still leaking and just gaze at my shiny windmills.

Shiny Windmills???

It has got to be tough to be a wingnut.
