Enviromentalists 'feel stabbed in the back' over 'dastardly move' by Obama admin.

Via Americablog: The environmentalists now have their own version of the DOMA brief from the Obama administration. Via NYT's Greenwire:

The Obama administration has urged the Supreme Court to toss out an appeals court decision that would allow lawsuits against major emitters for their contributions to global warming, stunning environmentalists who see the case as a powerful prod on climate change.

In the case, AEP v. Connecticut, the 2nd U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals sided with a coalition of states, environmental groups and New York City. The decision, handed down last year, said they could proceed with a lawsuit that seeks to force several of the nation's largest coal-fired utilities to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions.

Reading the article evoked a lot of memories of June 12, 2009 when we read the Obama administration's despicable DOMA brief. This part sounds really familiar:

Matt Pawa, an attorney representing plaintiffs in the case, said he and his colleagues expected the White House to stay out of the matter. During a meeting with more than 30 administration lawyers at the solicitor general's office on June 24, it seemed they had "a lot of friends in the room," he said.

"We feel stabbed in the back," Pawa said. "This was really a dastardly move by an administration that said it was a friend of the environment. With friends like this, who needs enemies?"

blah blah blah

16. And poor people have often felt stabbed in the back by uncaring environmentalists.
   
Maybe some poetic justice to wake 'em up?

36. Then, thank you. When environmentalists keep pushing for higher federal gas tax,
   
which only hurts the poor (and has been proven NOT to be a deterrent to affluent drivers), without thinking of how it will affect the lives of poor folk, and then won't listen to the objections, it says clearly that we are not the recipients of your concern. There are alternatives, but it falls on deaf ears.

That is one example.

There are others.

The point is to Think First how things affect others, rather than only those who are like you. Then to be willing to listen if the proposal is objectionable to vulnerable people.

It is really common decency.

86. How does a gasoline tax hurt poor people?
   
That doesn't even make sense. The poor people that I know don't buget any money for gasoline.

You'll have to explain to me, like I'm ten years old, exactly how you think that a gasoline tax will affect the homeless, for example.

The way you present this "factoid" about the gasoline tax sounds more like some kind of dogma than the result of some kind of scientific study or even thoughtful reasoning. Where did you hear this?

102. If you're living in your car, the gas tax does indeed hurt you..
   
There are very few place you can just park a car permanently and live in it, you have to keep moving it or sooner or later someone is going to complain to the cops, at which point your car will be impounded and quite possibly you will go to jail.

Moving the car requires gasoline (unless your car is a diesel).

See, there is a connection..

56. I honestly think you're fighting the wrong people here.

In a thread specifically calling out Obama, don't you think Obama is the worse of the two at the current time? For instance, they keep saying the seafood here is safe to eat now since they opened it up again for fishing, but who honestly buys that horseshit? Because it seems that's what the EPA is trying to feed all of us here.

Yet you plug environmentalists as if all of them are limousine liberals who are out of touch with reality in polluted working class neighborhoods with not a possibility that some of those environmentalists were of the poor like many others. You honestly shouldn't be tossing stones if you live in a glass house.

62. This is exactly the kind of crap that happens because people pick one issue, and that is all they know.

oh boy.

[Randy]

oh boy.

The irony sorta burns don't it?

[DumbAss Tanker]

What?!?  You mean that poor woman is homeless and living in her car???!!!???

 

 

[Texacon]

bobbo has GOT to be a mole and the best one on the internets.

DUposter; My dog died today ...

bobbo;  Well, if you were forced to live in a CAR that wouldn't be a problem now would it.  That's the problem with people who have dogs ... they have NO sympathy for those of us who don't even have HOMES!!!!!11!  You should spend your money on the homeless rather than buying dogs and all the costs associated with them.  That's what's wrong with this country

Seriously, she can turn absolutely any post into a highjacked thread about homelessness and not be deleted from the island.

Here's to the man behind the woman behind the mole ...

I don't have nearly enough experience here to state with any certainty whether or not this sanctimonious broad is, indeed, a mole.

But the self-centeredness she/he/it displays is beyond staggering.

She has an iPhone.  Apparently she can budget $72 a month for phone service, but raising gasoline prices is inhumane.

You will quickly learn that Bobo-The-Hobo's Raison d'être is to complain about homelessness. In nearly every thread. It doesn't matter what the thread is about, it will be all about her living in her car when she is finished.

79. Bobbolink asked me for help with some homeless-related project or other some time ago
   
and I was going to give him/her help with it until I realized that this person as a really bad attitude. Bobbolink shows up on thread after thread after thread (go ahead and search the username; this is his/her M.O.), twists the topic toward homelessness regardless of whether or not it has anything at all to do with the subject being discussed (such as, say, the environment), and then proceeds to bash anyone and everyone who doesn't agree with his/her interpretation of that topic as it relates to homelessness.

I think there's a word for that.

I refuse to help someone with that sort of attitude. You're on your own as far as I'm concerned, Bobbo, and you only have yourself to blame.

[Texacon]

LOL  That was a pretty good rant Occulus.  Wonder if any of your overly PC DUmor friends will call you out on your misogyny.

Wait just a damn minute! Didn't Bobo the hobo just last week say she was living in a controlled rent apartment and was standin' up against the little hitler that was abusing his tennnants?

Did I miss sumpin'?

That was from 2008.

Little hitler won that war.  She couldn't take it, so she just walked away and left all her stuff there.  That's how she became homeless.  Or maybe she drove away and now she lives in her car, not sure

Ah! I knew I had read somthin' close to it. Hard to keep up with proffessional victims and the yarns they spin.

Walked away? More like kicked out, doncha think?

[Carl]

I have the feeling that bobo really is one of skins moles and he uses her to poke the spawn that he has such contempt for.

They fellate him at every word because he has brought a meaning to their pathetic and useless existences never realizing that he despises them for what they are.

The money they just donated he probably wipes his ass with and flushes away with a scornful grin on his face.

[soleil]

You know, I would think that being homeless would probably humble most people. Bobo seems to be a first class bitch. It is really hard to want to help someone when they are always hurling insults and "me me me" at you. Maybe if she looked in the mirror (oops, guess she doesn't have one), she'd see that an attitude adjustment would do wonders for her position. There are people out there who are homeless, poor, whatever, that would do anything to get on their feet and be grateful for the chance. Bobo likes being this way because it gives her the attention she wants and she can be the bitch she wants to be.

It is sad really. It is sad that she is the DU face of a homeless person. No one deserves to be homeless but DAMN show some humility for once. IT ain't always about YOU.

This is the same kind of idiot who can't understand how sales taxes are a tax on the poor.

HA HA!!! 
Her Buick's alternator and battery are going crazy with all that wattage from her plugging in her laptop and charging up her iPhone.

[Revolution]

If this...no, I can't say that word; let's just say it rymes with "bunt..." If she/he really is homeless, and depraved, I'd say she/he deserves every bit of life kicking he/she in the teeth that he/she is getting. Purely based on attitude. I can't read too much of that person's nastiness without anger boiling up from the very depths of my soul.

My LORD!!!

I can't remember the exact thread, but someone posted about going down to the Gulf region to help one of the animal rescue agencies after Katrina.  Bobo popped up with her standard screed, accusing DUmors of wanting to help animals more than the poor people, like her.  She's still waiting for that fully furnished mansion where she can reside far away from any other person.
I'd rather give money to a skunk fund than to her.
