We spend a lot of time talking about James Delingpole, and occasionally it seems like maybe we're picking on him a bit too much (and giving him more attention than he deserves).
But then he goes and publishes something so disgusting and disrespectful that our fears are assuaged, and we're again convinced no amount of disdain is sufficient. Case in point, his May 1st Breitbart post, titled, "Five years on: Why Obama will always cherish the Gulf Oil spill."
Delingpole claims to think (because no one could possibly believe this) that, "greenies and lefties," actually, "love oil disasters because they are the perfect way of dressing up their bitter, chippy, divisive war on capitalism as simple, honest, decent concern about the environment." He goes on to say, "the left-liberal media," plays up the stories because they're, "the kind of stories absolutely guaranteed to get their readership big in their trousers and hot in their knickers."
According to Delingpole, the fines levied on BP for the pollution are, "an act of daylight robbery against a company and its shareholders," by Obama, who Delingpole says is, "the most aggressively left-wing president in recent memory."
In arguing how the Deepwater Horizon spill wasn't actually that bad, Delingpole must've forgotten about the 11 oil rig workers who lost their lives, the 8,000 marine animals found injured or dead and the long-term environmental impacts.
