Comments on: Anti-Fur Activists Pelt Lohan With Flour

Actress Targeted By PETA After Being Criticized For Wearing Fur

[erich_1-2009]

My Opinion:

PETA should leave her alone.

"Colored" - President Elect Obama''s mother was 1/2 white, and his natural dad was 1/16 negroid and the rest Arab.

"Colored" is a derogatory term and should no longer be used, though technically correct.

Should the term "Black" be used for someone who is only 1/32 Negroid or Black?

The correct term for President Elect Obama is African-American...if he really is a U.S. Citizen.

PETA members are spoiled loonies. I guarantee you if you placed them in conditions where they had to eat or wear animals or die, these crazy people-haters would come down on the side of the humans at last.

YOU''RE the spoiled loony. I guarantee you if you were an animal placed in conditions where you were going to lose your life because of your fur coat, you''d support PETA. You crazy animal-hater would come down on the side of animals, at last.

Meat eaters are leftovers from the caveman period. They are made both violent by eating it and made sick by the factory farm version of it.

I don''t know how people eat that stuff.

Yuck.

"I guarantee you if you placed [PETA] in conditions where they had to eat or wear animals or die, these crazy people-haters would come down on the side of the humans at last."

That is the point. PETA people have a choice; you also have a choice. No one is asking you to die, just to make the right choice and not act like you are being forced to abuse animals--you CHOOSE to do so, and not just once--it is a choice you make every day and will make again tomorrow.

Why is this fur thing even worth mentioning?
Instead the news should focus on why she used the term Colored to describe Obama. How much of a racist is she?

She''s lesbian. She''s entitled to be as much a racist as any non-white person* is entitled to call her a perceptually derogatory epithet too.

* or even a white person.

[hypnotoad72]

Such a waste of a good foodstuff. And I''m referring to the flour.

[deadmaverick]

wow- it looks like Lohan has just as much brainpower as the Governor of Alaska...too bad there are no pics of the flour child

[cbsguest6]

She should start carrying around water balloons and "retaliate" when she''s harassed by animal rights activists.

[chordmonkey]

"Animal haters" ?????? ***????? Who hates animals - they are so tasty! PETA = Poser Environmental Tagalong A$$h*les. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[rsmik]

I suppose using the word "colored" to describe our president is just easier for Lindsay to say than "person of color" or "non-white" or "half-black", just as it is easier to refer to Lindsay as "furbound firecrotch" instead of "intelligent person".

Wow, alot of souless animal haters here. If it''s peta or some other group, the point is in this day and age we should be more educated then scalping animals for a coat. It''s not even attractive looking. While they way they stand up for animals rights aren''t always right, someone needs to be advocates for the animals since they don''t have voices and choices like we do.

A search warrant executed at Blantons home turned up evidence that PETAs other co-founder, Alex Pacheco, had also been planning burglaries and break-ins along with Rodney Coronado. The feds seized surveillance logs; code names for Coronado, Pacheco, and others; burglary tools; two-way radios; night vision goggles; [and] phony identification for Coronado and Pacheco.

Shortly after Coronados arrest, PETA gave $45,200 to his support committee and loaned $25,000 to his father (the loan was never repaid and PETA hasnt complained). Now free from jail, with an expired parole, and with the benefit of an expired Statute of Limitations on his many earlier arsons (to which he readily confesses in his standard stump speech), Coronado stood before a crowd of hundreds of young people at American University in January 2003 and demonstrated how to turn a milk jug into a bomb. A few days later, ALF criminals tried to burn down a McDonalds restaurant in Chico, California, using a firebomb that matched Coronados recipe.

Most ominously, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk was involved in the multi-million-dollar arson at Michigan State University that resulted in a 57-month prison term for Animal Liberation Front bomber Rodney Coronado. At Coronados sentencing hearing, U.S. Attorney Michael Dettmer said that PETAs Ingrid Newkirk arranged ahead of time to have Coronado send her a pair of FedEx packages from Michigan -- one on the day before he burned the lab down, and the other shortly afterward.

The first FedEx, according to the Sentencing Memorandum, was delivered to a woman named Maria Blanton, a longtime PETA member who had agreed to accept the first Federal Express package from Coronado after being asked to do so by Ingrid Newkirk. The FBI intercepted the second package, which had been sent to the same address. It contained documents that Coronado stole before lighting his firebombs, as well as a videotape of the perpetrator of the MSU crime, disguised in a ski mask. Since Coronado was convicted of the arson, we now know that he himself was that masked man. Significantly, wrote U.S. Attorney Dettmer, Newkirk had arranged to have the package[s] delivered to her days before the MSU arson occurred. (emphasis in the original)

For instance, in 2003, ELF set fire to an unfinished, 200 unit condominium complex near San Diego. The arson caused $50 million in damage, and according to a San Diego Fire Captain: It could have killed someone. ELF left its calling card in the form of a twelve foot sign that read: If you build it -- we will burn it -- the ELFs are mad.

PETA also has given $2,000 to David Wilson, then a national ALF spokesperson. The group paid $27,000 for the legal defense of Roger Troen, who was arrested for taking part in an October 1986 burglary and arson at the University of Oregon. It gave $7,500 to Fran Stephanie Trutt, who tried to murder the president of a medical laboratory. It gave $5,000 to Josh Harper, who attacked Native Americans on a whale hunt by throwing smoke bombs, shooting flares, and spraying their faces with chemical fire extinguishers. All of these monies were paid out of tax-exempt funds, the same pot of money constantly enlarged by donations from an unsuspecting general public.

PETA president Ingrid Newkirk is also an acknowledged financial supporter of a publication called No Compromise. This periodical operates on behalf of the radicals of ALF, and often publishes underground communiqus and calls to arms from ALF leaders.

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals provides aid and comfort for the Earth Liberation Front (ELF) and the Animal Liberation Front (ALF). The two groups are responsible for more than 600 crimes since 1996, causing (by a very conservative FBI estimate) more than $43 million in damage. ALFs press office brags that in 2002, the two groups committed 100 illegal direct actions -- like blowing up SUVs, destroying the brakes on seafood delivery trucks, and planting firebombs in restaurants.

The FBI calls ALF and ELF the nations most serious domestic terrorism threat. Bruce Friedrich, PETAs vegan campaign director and third-in-command, didnt seem to care when he addressed the Animal Rights 2001 convention in Virginia, telling a crowd of over 1,000 activists that blowing stuff up and smashing windows is a great way to bring about animal liberation.

It would be great, he added, if all the fast-food outlets, slaughterhouses, these laboratories and the banks who fund them exploded tomorrow.

PETAs connections to ALF and ELF are indisputable. We did it, we did it. We gave $1,500 to the ELF for a specific program, PETAs Lisa Lange admitted on the Fox News Channel. PETA has offered no fewer than eight different explanations of what the specific program was, but law enforcement leaders have noted that since the Earth Liberation Front is a criminal enterprise, it has absolutely no legal programs of any kind.

[nothappyatall]

PETA opposes life-saving medical research.
PETA has repeatedly attacked groups like the March of Dimes, the Pediatric AIDS Foundation, and the American Cancer Society, for conducting animal testing to find cures for birth defects and life-threatening diseases. When asked if she would oppose an experiment on five thousand rats if it would result in a cure for AIDS, Newkirk responded: "Would you be opposed to experiments on your daughter if you knew it would save fifty million people?" In addition to opposing any and all medical research that uses animals, PETA also insults medical professionals by arguing, with a straight face, that animal testing is a counterproductive means of finding cures for human diseases.

PETA devalues human life.
PETA''s efforts to treasure every mosquito and cockroach invariably lead them to hate human beings for using bug spray and RAID. Ingrid Newkirk argues that as human beings, "we''re the biggest blight on the face of the earth."

PETA openly supports violence and terrorist activity.
PETA has long-standing ties to militant groups like the Animal Liberation Front (ALF), and the Earth Liberation Front (ELF). The FBI calls these criminal groups a "serious domestic terrorist threat."

PETA''s leadership has compared animal farmers to serial killer (and cannibal) Jeffrey Dahmer. They proclaimed in a 2003 exhibit that chickens are as valuable as Jewish Holocaust victims. They announced with a 2001 billboard that a shark attack on a little boy was revenge against humans who had it coming anyway. They have branded parents who feed their kids meat and milk child abusers. In 2002 PETA organized a campaign to sabotage a popular Thanksgiving hotline, which provides free advice about cooking turkeys. The group has even contemplated dancing on the grave of Kentucky Fried Chicken''s Colonel Sanders. And in 2003, PETA president Ingrid Newkirk wrote to Yasser Arafat, pleading with him to make certain no animals are harmed in Palestinian suicide-bombing attacks.

PETA peddles its animal liberation food agenda through a medical front group that pretends to offer objective nutritional advice.
A group misleadingly named the Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine has duped the press into believing that it is an association of conscientious doctors promoting good nutrition. In fact, it is a PETA front group. PCRM and PETA share money, offices, and staff. The American Medical Association calls PCRM a "pseudo-physicians group," has demanded that PCRM stop its inappropriate and unethical tactics used to manipulate public opinion, and argues that PCRM has been "blatantly misleading Americans" and "concealing its true purpose as an animal ''rights'' organization."

[nothappyatall]

PETA rakes in nearly $30 million each year in income, much of it raised from pet owners who think their donations actually help animals. Instead, the group spends huge sums on programs equating people who eat chicken with Nazis, scaring young children away from drinking milk, recruiting children into the radical animal-rights lifestyle, and intimidating businessmen and their families in their own neighborhoods. PETA has also spent tens of thousands of dollars defending arsonists and other violent extremists.

PETA claims it engages in outrageous media-seeking stunts "for the animals." But which animals? Carping about the value of future two-piece dinners while administering lethal injections to puppies and kittens isn''t ethical. It''s hypocritical -- with a death toll that PETA would protest if it weren''t their own doing.
