Logicians call this “shifting the blame,” one of many tactics employed by debaters to draw attention away from their own faulty arguments. When used, the loser ends up not being any of the parties mentioned in the argument but the weak-minded listeners in the audience.
Look at who has endorsed this message, pointing the blame at a collective millions of US consumers, who in comparison with British consumers waste about the same amount of petroleum per person on the average. Compound that with the fact that the leak is in US territory due to their own failure to act. ”BP cares” about looking like not-the-bad-guy. Similar application can be seen on corporate level as well as political and even personal, family disputes. (Abusive relationship, anybody?)
Many thankses to Grindle for sharing.
