2. Well, it DID disappear -- just as BP wanted it to do.
Yeah, it's still there, but disappeared beneath the waves, in great-big plumes of long-lasting pollution.

4. Yeah, I remember them. I didn't consider
them or anything they said to be humorous. I thought they were pathetic idiots.

8. Listen to the scientists!
Apparently we're listening to the wrong scientists, or something.
The only scientists that we can trust to be objective are ones with a financial stake in it. ;)

9. They have 'disappeared' much like their claims of the oil
disappearing. But also much like the oil/dispersant, silently lingering, contaminating threads with silent unrecs.
And yes, the snide remarks, the ridicule, the derision. Why?

It makes their guy look bad? They are tired of hearing abut it? They trust the same people who lie to us at every turn?
Its sick.

10. Yes, people who were everywhere at once are suddenly nowhere to be found.
The real question, though, and a disturbing one, is this:

Why has defending Obama come to be synonymous in the minds of some with defending BP?

11. No, that's a strawman.
Most of the oil has been collected, burned, evaporated, degraded, or dispersed.

13. Maybe they have the oil "on ignore".
That's where I have most of those posters. One thing I can't stand is people who lie and insult the intelligence of other posters.

17. yea, I was wondering if they were going to show up again
I thought it might be interesting to see what they said now in light of all the recent reports about the oil pollution down in the ocean.

I guess even they don't want to appear as total morons and continue to argue most of the oil "disappeared".

Its amazing how far true believers will go to make their idol look good. And it doesn't make sense to begin with, most of us understand it was not Pres. Obama's fault for what happened, but I guess they think the BP oil spill and its lasting damage and effects makes him look bad or something. :crazy:
