SubscribeReuters Omits ‘Oil Protesters’ Are Code Pink
From their allies at Reuters:
A protester holds a sign while Chairman and President of BP America Inc. Robert Malone, President of Shell Oil Company John Hofmeister, Vice Chairman of the Board of Chevron Corporation Peter Robertson, Executive Vice President of the ConocoPhillips Company John Lowe, and Senior Vice President of the Exxon Mobil Corporation Stephen Simon, testify about the rising cost of gas prices before the Senate Judiciary Committee on Capitol Hill, May 21, 2008.

Separate Oil from STATE Skyrocketting Oil Prices
~Live reports by CODEPINK Activists House residents~
CODEPINK Capitol Hill Peace Activists joined with environmental community to speak out against Congress for a weak Energy Policy that keeps US dependent on foreign natural resources ie OIL and direct our outrage toward the OIL CEO’s that rake in billions in profits without paying a fair share in taxes!
We Shouted out before the hearing up until the gavel went down:
STOP OIL WARS
Promote renewable energy
SHAME ON YOU WAR Profiteers
Why do Oil Ceo have record profits
Ride a bike everyone
reduce use
Buy Local
Note that our heroine from the first Reuters photo appears second from the left in the second Code Pink photo.
Note that our heroine from the second Reuters photo appears third from the left in the last Code Pink photo.
Of course our watchdog media’s photographers and caption writers know exactly with whom they are dealing.
Yet they intentionally and consistently fail to note that these are full-time professional America-hating protestors.
Why is that?

Bad habits are hard to break, especially if one does not want to break the habit.

I swear, if Code Pinko was any more moronic…
What ever happened to SMART traitors? I mean, c’mon…the Copperheads at least had brains!

Aren’t they finished with menopause yet?
It’s funny that the media even takes them seriously enough to try and gloss over who they are. They’re not exactly a scintillatingly intellectual bunch. They probably drove to the meeting in an SUV.

Code Pink aside, is there not a single brain in Congress that realizes in a time of worldwide high demand for oil, if OPEC is sued, OPEC will simply choose to stop selling oil to the United States?
I know I’m asking a lot, but surely there’s someone left that realizes businesses won’t just sit and take the abuse but will instead go where the abuse does not occur and will work to minimize the abuse.
So, tax “windfall profits” and oil production and exploration in the US will stop.
Sue OPEC and OPEC won’t sell us oil.
Way to ensure $30/gallon gas and rationing.
Of course given that’s been the left’s desire all along, perhaps they do know what they’re doing…

“Why do Oil Ceo have record profits”
They have record sales you (ahh, too many foul descriptions, fill in the blanks)
May 22nd, 2008 at 12:33 am
Once again, for anyone that doesn’t understand the source of profits, much of it is from speculators, and for that we have to bring out the old OilBay example I use.
Oil production costs have remained about stable over the past few years, yet largely on the basis of speculation, oil prices have shot up to $132/bbl or so.
So, if your production costs were $40/bbl and people are paying you $132/bbl, you’re making a bit of profit there, through no “fault” of your own.
I call it “OilBay” because it’s akin to putting a barrel of oil on that other auction site for $45; if people bid it up to $132, are you going to refuse to take their money because they’re paying you “too much” for it?
But it’s actually quite complex as that’s just the crude oil productions side; what about the refineries?
Well, they get their oil from buyers who have to pay the $132/bbl to guarantee supplies, so that price gets passed along along with the costs of refining, complying with EPA regs, and the costs of keeping ever more rickety refineries running 24/7 to keep up with demand while not having accidents that reduce capacity.
$4/gallon comes along pretty easily, especially when you remember that a sizable part of that $4 is federal, state and local taxes.

How is it that code pink ends up with these primo seats in the Senate for these photo ops? Which Senator is responsible for these loons????? ( What? Are these misplaced hippies that missed out on the 60’s and are reliving their youth???)
Doesn’t anyone in Congress understand how the oil companies work? We NEED to drill, people and build refineries… as soon as we possibly can. Plain and simple. If they want to incorporate alternative energy in with their agenda, fine. (Whatever floats their boat.) But, we are going to crumple into a economic/energy disaster if we don’t drill for oil in our own Country. The chain reaction is already starting to develop. If the Liberals keep this nonsense up, America will look like a scene from the “Mad Max” movie. Sheesh, this is ridiculous!
I would have put the last paragraph in all caps but, I know how SG feels about shouting… :-)

BillK did a great job of explaining things in a nutshell……and regardless of how easy it is to jab the oil execs in the eye…..that tubby guy second from the end said to them all…..”let us extract the trillion or so usable barrels of oil under the United States, and prices can come down”
That said a lot. Dont beat up the oil execs……beat up the congress who refuses to pass legislation for drilling, but especially the eco terrorists who stop all progress in that respect. They are responsible for our dependence on foreign oil…….
We need someone who can just declare the need for gasoline and heating oil trumps the need for a “yellow backed bark licking tree planaria” to be able to live with out interference.
The ironic thing is, there are lots of domestic companies chomping at the bit to get drilling or extracting petroleum, but “moon beam” and “dust bunny” are chomping at the bark and suing in federal court to keep it from happening.

I do, however, wish just one of the oil execs would have first told Leahy the question of what they make is immaterial because it has nothing to do with the topic at hand, and then asked just how much he and the other members of the judiciary committee make as compared to the ordinary American, and why, if Joe Six Pack is hurting so much, they’re unwilling to temporarily suspend collection of Federal gas taxes?
At least Hofmeister would have had nothing to lose; he’s retiring June 1.

The D’Rats have brought us $4.00 gas. They hold these hearings to preemptively deflect attention from themselves. The Republican leadership can’t figure out how to encourage people to vote for their candidates in the upcoming elections and, if we listen to them, have conceded that congressional and senate elections will be a disaster. The Republican leadership is completely out of touch. Every day, every person who fills a gas tank complains about the price. Yet, we do not hear anything from the Republicans. The D’Rats would be sending out talking points to each member of the party. No D’Rat would be on any talk show or give any speach that failed to lay the responsibility for high gas prices at the feet of the Republicans (they cannot do that here so they deflect to blame capitalists - the natural enemy of communists everywhere). Instead, we get Newt Gingrich talking about strategy to have a Republican initiative to “address global warming.” How naive. The whole premise of the global warming scam is to lock in world socialist redistribution schemes and attack free market progress. Look, do we want oil? Yes. Do we have oil? Yes. Can we get oil? Yes. Can we create jobs getting our oil? Yes. Can the most environmentally concious free market society in the world get its own oil cleanly? Yes. Can Congress create incentives to do all this? Yes. Can we do all this as Americans and be proud of our country? Yes. So, why would you vote for a D’Rat?

Dang Trialdog, the Republicans need YOU to write their talking points for them. Great post!
May 22nd, 2008 at 4:51 pm
Uh, would someone with the proper addresses get Trialdog’s post sent to the GOP pronto? This echoes the sentiment of almost 80% of Americans….yet the liberal left minority has bigger mouths and seemingly bottomless funds to sue…..trialdog put it right exactly where it is….we CAN free ourselves from foreign oil….but for some reason, our leaders choose not to. I wonder what the real reason is……?
May 22nd, 2008 at 5:47 pm
Trialdog has knocked the cover off the ball.
Welcome to S&L TrialDog.

Now “hate” is a very strong word…but as a female…I HATE HATE HATE “code pink”…(I’m not even gonna grace them with capital letters) I just hope that men don’t get the impression that all females are crazy lingerie-over-clothes wearing, bubble-letter sign writing, and un-patriotic/anti-American…
How come all their nonsense gets broadcast everywhere for everyone to see? But the wives, mothers, daughters of those that are over there fighting for our country never are shown, never allowed the chance to give their opinion of things?? (Minus our dear friend Ms. Sheehan of course) That’s just a rhetorical question…I know the reason…
For fun, I constantly go on the code pink website and harass them…they’re waaaayyyy to easy to rile up…Just say something like “God Bless America”!!
May 22nd, 2008 at 8:50 pm
I like your post, m072592. And the last picture above?? Well, I just added another sticker to my motorcycle helmet last Sunday, and this pic reminded me of it. It says, “It’s OK to be ugly——–but you’re over-doing it!”
I’d just like to slap ‘em.
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:22 pm
“It’s OK to be ugly——–but you’re over-doing it!”
LMAO!
When I need brakes put on my car, I know to find a good mechanic.
If I need a new TV, I find a manufacturer that produces one to fit my needs.
When I need a new computer….. You get the idea!
So will some one please tell me why idiots line up to ask politicians to give them a non polluting renewable energy source?
May 22nd, 2008 at 9:32 pm
Why would anyone ask a politician for anything? The degree of ineptitude these cranks display should shake the confidence of even the most exuberant optimist. “But if it’s free, Vern, I’ll take two”.
By the way, DEZ, you do know why we have Ten Commandments don’t you?
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:01 pm
“By the way, DEZ, you do know why we have Ten Commandments don’t you?”
Um, that caught me off guard!?
So you may have to remind me.
Regardless, You nailed my point, Why would you ask a politician for anything?
Have they ever done anything that would make them or me think they are smarter than Einstein, Hawkins or any number of other brilliant scientists to have looked at these problems?
Sure, politicians may be able to throw money at the problem, but if the brightest minds mankind has to offer says here is what we have, We can build it or do it, all it takes is a few twig munchers screaming about a dung beetle in their outhouse that could be harmed, and its a dead end project.
Best thing we can do is feed the bunny huggers to great white sharks, then we may proceed!
May 22nd, 2008 at 10:33 pm
The lack of leadership among our elected officials is epidemic, and the surrender to PC is nearly complete. And you’re correct about their solution for just about everything. Throw money at it. Most frightful of all is the fact that the people responsible for the purse strings are total nincompoops about finance. The very individuals raising the most stink about Big Oil are the first to bitch when none is available. Morons!
P.S. I’ll e-mail the Ten Commandments thing.

And I suppose all of these hags walked instead of drove to D.C. Just a bunch of leftovers from the flower child generation and wannabes from the seventies and eighties.
I wonder where all the sixty-year old men with male pattern baldness and ridiculous looking ponytails are? Maybe at Starbucks drinking Latte Mochas.
In other words - they’re all a bunch of CLICHES from another era with too much time on their hands. You nitwits are not helping the U.S.
May 23rd, 2008 at 3:55 am
Leahy is the employee, oil execs are the employer’s. Would you allow your employee’s to interogate you. I sure as hell would not. As far as Reuters goes, what else is new! & to code pink it’s time to rename themselves to code RED.
Hold your nose and vote Republican, it may be your last chance.
