    Ya’ know, I don’t really appreciate being called a terrorist. If someone what you said about PETA above to my face, I’d kick the living $#!* out of them.

    Yea well, hes right.
    These protest groups actually do commit acts of terror.

    But its all good jersey.
    You can just call yourself a “freedom fighter” and you’ll be safe.

    You’re right – we should elect our next President based on the Kentucky Derby results. Why would we base our vote on who is the most experienced and ready to bring about real improvements instead of empty rhetoric in our economy, healthcare, and standing in the world?

    I don’t go around damaging anything. PETA neithe endorses, condones or supports violence or destruction of any kind. There are some young crazy kids out there who do some pretty crazy stuff, and most of it I do support – with the exceptions of arson and violence. But there are plenty of arsonists and violent people in any group or movement throughout the world. To single out PETA is just plain insulting and stupid.

    Blacktygrrr did not single out PETA if you read a little deeper.
    Also mentioned were those who bomb buldings.

    JMJ:
    “PETA neither endorses, condones or supports violence or destruction of any kind. ”

    Yea right, give me a break, do some research and its plain to see that they revel in these acts of violence, and even fund the organizations that commit these acts

    http://www.cdfe.org/conference.htm
    “On February 12, the Center for Consumer Freedom (CCF) reported to the subcommittee that in the last several years, PETA made donations to ELF and several defense funds for accused ALF members.”

    In a recent op-ed article, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals president Ingrid Newkirk defended her organization by claiming that “PETA does not condone . . . violent acts.”

    But in fact, PETA or its representatives have often rationalized or celebrated violence. Consider just a few examples:

    * In the December/January 2000 issue of ‘Genre’, PETA’s Dan Mathews was asked to name men of the 20th century he admired. Mathews told the magazine he admired serial killer Andrew Cunanan, “because he got Versace to stop doing fur*

    * In 1999, an animal rights terrorist group calling itself the Justice Department sent letters booby-trapped with razor blades to medical researchers and fur farms in the United States and Canada. When asked about the letters, Newkirk said, “I hope it frightens them [the researchers] out of their careers. If experimenters feel afraid now, that’s nothing compared with the fear, harm and death they have inflicted on their victims.”

    * In a new author’s note in her book about the Animal Liberation Front, ‘Free the Animals’, Newkirk writes, “Determined to cause economic injury to the exploiters, ALF members burn down their emptied buildings and smash their vehicles to smithereens. Perhaps, after reading this book, you will find that you cannot blame them.”

    * In 1994, PETA donated $42,500 to the Rodney Coronado Support Committee. Coronado is an animal rights terrorist who in 1995 pleaded guilty to firebombing a medical research facility at Michigan State University.

    * In fact, Newkirk herself has expressed a wish to carry out arson. At a 1997 animal rights convention she said, “I wish we all would get up and go into the labs and take the animals out or burn them down.” In 1999 she expanded on that sentiment, telling the ‘Chronicle of Higher Education’, “I find it small wonder that the laboratories aren’t all burning to the ground. If I had more guts, I’d light a match.”

    Whatever. I don’t care. Compared with the atrocities the Right has perpetrated over the years, PETA is Jesus. I am a proud donor member of PETA and will always be as long as I can. ha ha.

    If running tests on monkeys will result in medical advances that will enable me to spend a few more years on this big blue marble writing dick jokes, then I say “Tough bananas, Bonzo.”

  8. micky2 said,

    Yea Jersey, there was never any doubt that you didnt care.

    Most notably when you say PETA has never condoned these terrorist actions yet I just flew the proof in your face they as a matter of fact do.

    Ha ha.

  9. Jersey McJones said,

    PETA has no official connection to anything illegal, Muicky, or they’d have been sghut down years ago.

    Ronald Reagan, on the other hand, funded nun murderers.

    JMJ

  10. Mr. Fabulous said,

    To be fair, there are too many nuns.

  11. micky2 said,

    Ronald Reagan is another debate.
    Official is not even close to the fact that PETA does contribute to and even admit to supporting acts of violence.

    I’m going to the slaughter house today and pick out my own steak.
    I’m gonna wrap it in bacon, marinate it in garlic.
    And have me a big ole chicken anti pasto on the side with four, maybe five kids of cheese along with some chickens still in an embryonic state ala “deviled”

    Maybe an appetizer consisting of roasted Quail along with some pickeled Quail eggs. And I’ll do my best to make sure the eggs were laid by the same Quails I’m eating.

    Honest, really.
    Its my 51st birthday today and I’m going to wallow in the flesh of dead animals.
    :-)

    Some things are more important than partisan politics.

    Happy Birthday Micky!

  13. micky2 said,

    Yup.
    The TV is goin off tonight and I’m crankin up all 1800 watts and blowin all eight 18″ woofers right at the neighbors.
    And that steak will be blood rare.
    Maybe I’ll play some Ted Nugent while I’m eating it.

    Thank you Eric.

  14. deaconblue said,

    Happy B-Day Micky! That last post is making me hungry. Maybe I’ll go enjoy a nce rare steak in your honor. Maybe I’ll even break out my annoy the PETA type t-shirts:
    “I shot Bambi’s mom. She was good eats”
    “Meat is murder. Tasty, tasty murder.”

  15. Jersey McJones said,

    Oh man, THAT was baaaaaad, Micky! LOL!

  18. Jersey McJones said,

    Everyone loves my goofy face pic. I have an “I’m with stupid” Mad magazine cover with me and Bush. One guy put it on a little dancing baby. Another guy put it on Mel Gibson… The worst part – that’s my happy face! LOL!

    I must be the grumpiest liberal on the planet.

  19. micky2 said,

    Just got back from the meat packers.
    The guy who runs the joint is an ole friend of mine from my restaurant days.
    He’s always had a pair of big chrome bull balls framed and hangin on the wall behind his desk.
    Today they belong to me.

  20. Jersey McJones said,

    What? You like Rocky Mountain Oysters? Who knew? And chromed to boot! That’s just wierd. LOL!

    (Hey, I like a good steak like any other worthy man, but chrome-ified bull b@!!$… eh, no thanks. Maybe if Morimoto did them… maybe…)

    PW If we could find that person they undoubtedly would not be foolish enough to run for president. :-)

    I must say the chicken I had for dinner tonight is tasty. I like PETA (People Eating Tasty Animals that is).

    Truthfully, the only good thing about PETA is their naked campaign, but usually you don’t get to see anything so even that brings no joy.

  22. Jersey McJones said,

    Parrothead, if you have a cat or a dog, or both, like me, every time you look at them, every time they look up at you with their funny faces, every time they snuggle up with you, or lick your face, or bite your toes, or you rub their fuzzy bellies – that’s who PETA represents. Thank God for PETA.

    [...] Eric ties together Hillary Clinton and the Kentucky Derby. Say, wasn’t the lone filly in the Derby put down on the track? [...]

  24. micky2 said,

    I ate dog once.
    Tasted like pork.
    Probably had some cat tacos in TJ and didnt know it.

  25. parrothead said,

    Jersey,

    PETA doesn’t represent only pets they also represent domesticated animals which are raised to be eaten. Like cows, chickens, turkeys, sheep, etc. Obviously most people would eat their own pet, and in this country people don’t eat dogs or cats, but other animals are commonly eaten. I have known many people who grew up on farms and they understand the difference between animals they keep as pets and those that are meant to be eaten eventually. Its a natural part of the circle of life.
