He's still a CEO and will defend his company against the environuts. I like how they admitted picking the iPod just because it's the most popular. They're not pro-environment, they're anti-business.

I've heard Steve Jobs is a huge lib and FOB so I'm very impressed with his performance reported here. Sounds like he had an excellent response to everything the environmental wackos threw at him. Way to go Steve!

Yea, He's held numerious fundraisers for democrats over the years, Al Gore (as noted in the article) even sits on the board at Apple.

He has a few different reasons to hate enviornmentalists, from both business and personal reasons (involving him home).

"Isn't Steve Jobs a liberal's liberal?"

He's a fairly strident social liberal, with all that that entails, but he has managed somehow to remain relatively pro-business. Chalk it up to his and Woz's "shoestring" startup experience, I guess.

In other words, a flaming hypocrite?

Yup.

Not so much as you'd think.

Even liberals are targeted by enviro-nuts. I love my Mac computers ... on the other hand I could go with liberal Bill Gates.
