Liberal groups Oil Change International and The Other 98% are out with a tasteful new campaign, “Exxon Hates Your Children.” Fun for the whole family! We’d expect nothing less from the radical Left.

The groups are currently raising money to get the campaign on national television.
Eco-zealots are lapping it up:

Actually, that's not really fair. Exxon doesn't hate your children, they just don't give a shit about them, or anything but their profits.

Of course.
For a group so hell-bent on clean energy, it sure loves dirty politics.

Exxon has responded to the ad:
“The campaign is offensive to the thousands of ExxonMobil employees and contractors who work hard every day to deliver an essential product in a safe and environmentally responsible way,” the company said in a statement Wednesday.
…
“Energy use and climate change are critically important challenges facing society that won’t be resolved with media campaigns that rely on provocative language and false allegations,” Exxon said.
