What Barton said wasn’t popular, and it sure wouldn’t win friends at a time that everyone is demonizing BP, but on principle he is right.

They had a right to due process.

Interestingly enough the “escrow account” was “suggested” by president Soros and the Center for American progress on May 3rd.

Bingo!

100% dead on right! Rush got it and so did you! Yet another reason I’m NOT a Republican.

And by the way, this $20 billion slush fund that’s supposed to be handled by an “independent 3rd party” — WHEN DID KENNETH FIENBERG, OBAMA’S PAY CZAR, BECOME AN INDEPENDENT 3RD PARTY!?!?!

We have an old saying where I come from: “Don’t pee down my back and tell me it’s raining...”

What he said.

This is f-ing tyranny of the 1st degree. Little Mussolini hard at work.

I was disappointed the Republicans insisted he apologize. He was right and they let PC or fear of criticism be more important than the truth.

Rush was also right, as usual.

What Barton said wasn’t popular...

That's no reason to apologize. To me it looks like Barton apologized for telling the truth.

...and it sure wouldn’t win friends at a time that everyone is demonizing BP

This isn't about winning friendships or hurt feelings, this is about getting to the truth even if it offends some on either side of the issue.

They had a right to due process.

That was a show trial, pure and simple. It had nothing to do with "due process", or justice, or righting wrongs. This was pure politics on display.
