     In a stunningly moronic display of moral equivalency the Democratic Underground Lefties can't even agree that human slavery is worse than eating animals! I wish I was making this up but here is a little quotey quote for you:

 

Just so, humans who define themselves by religion or culture or nationality or skin color think that their suffering can never be compared, no matter how factually, with any other human or animal's suffering. To do so makes them feel belittled, reduced. But perhaps that's just our primitive biology crying out to protect and save our own kind, the more narrowly defined the better, and the rest be damned. I reject that. Or I try to. Only supremacism makes us think that "our kind," our narrow view of ourselves as Protestants, Muslims, white, black, a woman, a man, a human being, is more important than the rest. But a broader definition of ourselves is simply that we are all animals.

 

     Note that this yahoo actually equates rascism with feeling superior to animals here. I thought that surely there would be a large backlash of common sense from the rest of the DU feverswampers but not to be... Many of them agreed with the poster and PETA that using animals for anything is morally equivalent to enslaving human beings and none of them could really bring themselves to condemn it (well excpet a few Freepers who lurk there to piss off the DU).

One more quotage:

If it offends people so greatly to be compared to other sentient beings who feel pain and suffer just as humans do... well, I think they are getting right to the heart of the matter.

Knock knock puddinheads... this is why you keep losing...

You know PETA's new ad equates animal suffering with both the Holocaust and Slavery, right? And as usual, the sheep at DU blindly bleat their agreement, totally trivializing the suffering of slaves and holocaust victims.

Where's Jesse Jackson and the ADL when you need 'em?


Ingrid Newkirk consistently finds new and amusing ways to inadvertently offend people on her quest to make us all give up our steaks and pork chops. I had hoped that she'd have learned from the chicken holocaust debacle, but that's apparently not the case.

PETA are the looney left are good bedfellows. They both don't seem to care how obscene or offensive their tactics are...they'll utilize ANY situation to get their 'message' across.

I would have thought that this would have been right up Al Sharpton's alley....in fact, I'm surprised he hasn't already embedded himself in the midst of this.

now....what about the wasps that they have evicted out of their nest (read: home) with chemical weapons? And what about the mosquitos that they have killed? And the flies? ants? cockroaches?

Shouldn't all these poor, helpless innocent animals get the right to an attorney and have their case in court?

He probably would be if it came from a right leaning organization. It may be a case of "Don't be in the well you drink from."

Who knows?
