Right-wingers say oil spill staged by liberals

No, I'm not making this up: The Republican Right really says this.

Just when you think they can't get any crazier, they always manage to do so.

The latest right-wing claim is that the BP oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico was actually carried out by liberals in an effort to discourage the expansion of offshore oil drilling.

Rush Limbaugh is even spreading this theory. The has-been talker blamed the spill on "environmentalist wackos" who wanted to "head off more oil drilling."

So the right-wingers actually think environmentalists snuck aboard an occupied oil rig and blew it up??? That's about the dumbest thing I've ever heard.

The extreme right is so overrun by stupidity lately that it's a downright miracle their electoral prospects aren't worse than they are.
