I knew the day would come where they would try to justify the rights of a fly.
Let us all laugh at how we knew this was going to happen one day because of how *crag* retarded these people's goals are.

| Quote: | WASHINGTON — The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter. |

I'VE ALWAYS FELT THAT PETA IS THE MOST BRILLIANT AND ELABORATELY PLANNED JOKE THE HUMAN RACE HAS EVER PULLED. THIS NEWS CONFIRMS THIS. |

I think PETA is just stupid to not realize that the Secret Service would've killed a PERSON that got that close to the president during his speech. The fly was a threat to the president! It was breaching security! If PETA wants equal rights for all animals, they better teach these animals to obey the law. |

Yes. That is the logic of the secret service for humans. If PETA wants equal rights for animals, that is equal. It's what they'd do to a human getting that close to the president. Or at least arrest it. So, in order for the fly to be equal, it would be either killed or arrested as well. |

Wow, it's not like people do this every day. >_>
Why don't they just bash him for breathing? Hogging all that Oxygen and only releasing Carbon Dioxide. Shameful.
More proof that PETA doesn't care about Animals and just want people to die. |

Uh. Do you know what PETA is?
They don't really promote peace so much as try to give animals more rights than humans.
Seriously, they're mad because the president swatted a fly. A fly. |

PETA asks town to change its name
By Associated Press, 4/22/2003 10:34
HAMBURG, N.Y. (AP) A national animal rights group has offered Hamburg officials $15,000 to change the town's name to Veggieburg.
''The town's name conjures up visions of unhealthy patties of ground-up dead cows,'' said Joe Haptas, spokesman of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), in a letter faxed Monday to Hamburg Supervisor Patrick Hoak.
PETA offered to supply area schools with $15,000 worth of non-meat patties for the name change.
''Our offer is serious as a heart attack,'' Haptas said.
Hoak immediately declined.
''With all due respect, I think it's a delicacy in our community,'' he said about hamburgers. ''We're proud of our name and proud of our heritage.''
The Buffalo suburb, named Hamburg since 1812, claims to be the birth place of the American culinary staple. Hamburg commemorates the birth of hamburgers at the annual Burgerfest.
In 1996, PETA proposed that the Hudson Valley town of Fishkill change its centuries-old name to Fishsave, since the group believed the name conjured up violent imagery of dead fish.
The town was named by Dutch settlers in the early 1600s. ''Kill'' is the Dutch word for ''stream.''
They are not even giving the town real money. Just a bunch of tofu burgers. Morons. |
It's bad. |
