On Saturday, June 1st, Fox News’ Neil Cavuto snarled:

"All right, you might want to get this straight because I can’t, but the green crowd’s at it again, demanding the president block the Keystone Pipeline. And anti-fracking laws are getting support across the country."On Saturday, June 1st, Cavuto snarled:

A few panelists offer their disparaging opinions on the protesters, then Fox connects remotely to Ben Stein – a has-been actor and conservative political commentator — who declares:

"This isn’t really about policies, this is about attracting attention, for the protesters to have something to do, as if they’re morally superior to their parents."

[Cavuto smirks and chuckles, along with his fellow panelists]

"Protests of this kind, they’re a psychological issue, they’re not an economic or political issue … they’re about a mental disease or defect …"

[the final dregs of Stein's wisdom are drowned by Cavuto's loud and hearty guffaws]




The discussions was about protests against the Keystone Pipeline:
Quote:

Canada’s British Columbia province handed Big Oil a major setback when they rejected plans for the planned pipeline for transporting oil from the Canadian Tar Sands. Who can blame them? The oil companies seem to wreck everything they touch.

Christopher Jones — a lawyer representing the B.C. province — described concerns about oil companies constructing and drilling through pristine and ecologically sensitive areas, and pointedly explained during a Canadian government’s review of the project:
Quote:

Northern Gateway has presented little evidence about how it will respond in the event of a spill … It is not clear from the evidence that Northern Gateway will in fact be able to respond effectively to spills either from the pipeline itself, or from tankers transporting diluted bitumen.


The oil companies have caused damage in Arkansas, Detroit, and the Gulf of Mexico — plus a multitude of other places — and now refuse to pay medical bills for the hapless workers who’ve cleaned up their toxic sludge.

And who can blame the folks who protest? Who wants toxic sludge in their back yard?



Who? Apparently those on the right who have no belief in people's right to protest in this country; that if they dare to, it must be a mental problem.

And then there are the holes in the pipeline sections that have already been built and welded...
