The Catch Up Thread For 6/21/10: "Leave BP Alone Your UTLRA LIBERAL PRESIDENT YOU," Says The Teabaggers


Besides the sports, there are other things to cover, as this is The Whole Delivery after all.

Good old bipartisan is never in doubt on this issue!
Even as Israel shows signs of loosening its blockade of Gaze, large majorities in the House and Senate have signed off on letters supporting the blockade and defending Israel's enforcement of it against a Turkish vessel.

Harry Reid and Mitch McConnell, along with 83 other senators, have signed the Senate version of the letter , which is backed by AIPAC; 298 members of the House have signed on .

As Greenwald said:

As only teabaggers can do, they want mean old president Obama to stop attacking BP!!!
Republican Senate candidate Rand Paul of Kentucky said Friday that he was disturbed by Obama's promise to find out "whose ass to kick."

"I'll move past the obvious problem with the appropriateness of the comment to just say this: Look in the mirror Mr. President," Paul said in a statement. "This crisis has been a case study in failure to lead, failure to act, and using a crisis to advance your own agenda rather than solve the problem."

Erin Ryan, a tea party activist in Redding, Calif., said Barton was correct to use the word "shakedown."

"Wow," Ryan said. "Somebody finally said it out loud?"

Conservative talk show host Mark Williams, chairman of the California-based Tea Party Express, said the White House went too far by pressuring BP to create the fund while the Justice Department is conducting criminal and civil probes of the spill.

"I'm accustomed to mobsters behaving that way, I'm just not accustomed to it from the president, especially when he's standing there with the attorney general threatening legal action," Williams said. "Where I come from, they call it extortion."
Extortion. Hahahahaha, these people give out delusional gems every single day.

And maybe just an outliner, but indeed an eyebrow raising happened today in Afghanistan.

(More to come.)
