Now there can be no doubt whose side they are on:
PAT BUCHANAN: “Barton made a very courageous statement in my judgment. … To have anyone stand up and even indirectly defend [BP] and say that they were a victim of a shakedown shows some political courage.”
INGRAHAM: “I think Joe Barton, before he apologized, had a legitimate point.”
NAPOLITANO: “That is a classic shakedown. The threat to do something that you don’t have the authority to do. ”
KILMEADE: “One Congressman calling the BP compensation fund a ’shakedown,’ but does he have a point?”
GINGRICH: “The president is directly engaged in extorting money from a company.”
VARNEY: “It is Hugo Chavez-like, is it not? To seize a private company’s assets.”

Do they actually think this is going to help them win elections this fall?
Garry, they probably do! This is just how ignorant and out of touch they are, even with their own constituents! That, and they love being in the news for whatever reason except maybe for sex scandals, but hell, that’s become the norm for them anyway.
The GOP has long been the party that considers corporations more important than people. The “Free Market” fixes everything, remember!
Gingrich climbs out a cesspool – says Obama stinks and does a one and a half flip with a twist and half right back into the deep end. Just the sound of this hypocrite is enough to induce projectile vomiting.
All these hacks are so far out of touch with reality it’s sad. They THINK they are doing something to get them votes, but these idiots are just driving the wedge between American citzens and the gop’ers more and more. Great work you republinuts, keep up the good work of showing your TRUE colors regarding the American people!!!
The really, really sad part of all of this is that most Fuchs Noose viewers will definitely believe that the Obama WH is full of “Chicago-style mobsters,” “shakedown artists,” and “extortionists” simply because the president got BP to agree to a fund that will be used to alleviate the suffering of the residents of the Gulf Coast whose livelihoods are being affected by the oil constantly washing up onto their shorelines. I’ve already seen the use of these and other terms to refer to the president and progressives on several web sites I’ve visited over the past few days. I suggest we ignore them and keep working to deny “conservatives” that majority they are banking on in November.
