Topic: P.e.t.a Funds Domestic Terrorism

[Dragon Of Grief]

Dear Friend,

If you were watching the State of the Union Address
on the Fox News Channel last week, you also saw a provocative
commercial from the Center for Consumer Freedom. It wasn't about
social security or Hillary Clinton, but it deserves your attention
just the same.

The Center's advertisement asked Americans to
support a petition asking the IRS to investigate and penalize People
for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), an extreme animal-
rights group that brazenly supports and openly funds domestic
terrorists.


While most of our national discussion about
Homeland Security has focused on threats from outside the United
States, we've overlooked the dangerous threat of domestic terrorism.
Since 1990, attacks by home-grown arsonists and bomb-throwers have caused over $150 million in damage. The FBI calls these animal- rights zealots and extreme environmentalists "the most dangerous and prolific domestic terrorists" in the United States today.

PETA, it turns out, is bankrolling some of them.

In 2001, according to publicly-available tax
records, PETA contributed at least $1,500 to the North American
Earth Liberation Front (ELF), a group of arsonists who engage in
absolutely no lawful activities. PETA was either careless or bold
enough to report this to the IRS. Eight different reporters have
asked PETA's leaders why their group wrote this check; they have
offered eight different and contradictory answers.

In 1995 PETA gave over $70,000 to Rodney Coronado,
a convicted arsonist who firebombed a Michigan State University
research laboratory on behalf of the terrorist Animal Liberation
Front (ALF). While PETA insists that the money was for Coronado's
legal defense, court records show that PETA president Ingrid Newkirk communicated with Coronado about the Michigan State arson before it happened.

Coronado never fingered PETA in court, took the
fall alone, and served 58 months in federal prison. In 2003, six
months after his parole expired, he was filmed in a Washington, DC college classroom showing dozens of young animal-rights activists how to build "crude incendiary devices."

Asked later that year on 20/20 to explain herself,
Ingrid Newkirk called Rodney Coronado "a fine young man."

If PETA were financially supporting Hamas, the
Islamic Jihad, or Al Qaeda, it would be laughable to argue that it's possible to bankroll terrorists without supporting terrorism. Yet PETA continues to insist its motives were warm and fuzzy when it wrote a check to the arson-happy (and FBI-designated "terrorist"ELF.

PETA's habit of propping up violent splinter groups
shouldn't surprise anyone. In the 1980s, PETA was a "spokesgroup"
for the terrorist ALF, holding press conferences to gleefully
announce arsons, burglaries, and thefts -- all perpetrated "for the animals." PETA once had a "fact sheet" calling the ALF "an army of the kind." And PETA's leaders have openly advocated arson and other violence.

Bruce Friedrich discussing the merits of "blowing stuff up" at a
national animal rights convention.

It's time to put a stop to PETA, and you can help.
Add your name to the list of over 50,000 Americans who have already asked the IRS to revoke PETA's federal tax-exempt status. Believe it or not, PETA pays no income taxes -- just like universities and churches. And the promise of tax deductions helped the group raise over $21 million last year, mostly from unsuspecting Americans who thought they were helping puppies and kittens.


The Center for Consumer Freedom is dedicated to
protecting the choices of American consumers. Those choices are
threatened on a daily basis by PETA and other animal activist groups who presume to tell us all what to eat.

PETA's stated goal is "total animal liberation."
That means no steaks, hamburgers, chicken, veal, lamb, bacon, milk, or cheese. No milk chocolate on i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because i enjoy felching because 's Day. No Thanksgiving turkey. No hunting, fishing, rodeos, circuses, wool, fur, silk, leather, or seeing-eye dogs; and no medical research using lab animals.

PETA's president is on record saying that "even if
animal research resulted in a cure for AIDS, we'd be against it."

We're pushing back against these lunatics, but we
need your help.


Sincerely,

James Bowers
Managing Director
Center for Consumer Freedom

Yup. They are a bunch of crazy lunatics. So those of you out there who contribute to these maniacs stop and think for one second. What are you really contributing too? For the better treatment of animals worldwide... or terrorism RIGHT HERE in the United States... stop and think for a second.

I always hated PETA anyway. This just adds another reason to the list.

[super_sayian_spongebob]

PETA = Losers.

That's all I have to say.

Meh, once you said it was on Fox News, I lost all interest in it.

FOX News = Worst news station. Ever.

....

You just hate them because they're biased.

[IZ]

Yes, I do hate them because they're biased. They're the most horribly right-wing channel I've ever seen.

[Dragon Of Grief]

I just thought it looked interesting. I decided to post it.

I hate PETA. They show animals getting slaughtered on their website to scare people into their views. This just adds more and more to my side of it.

And, Fox news is good. I don't judge a news channel on it's "wing", I judge them on how they do. Come on, can it really be that bad? I like FOX News and CNN. No one can stop me.

[cmonkey]

Elf, what an interesting group.  It has an uncanny resemblence to Twelve Monkeys.  Anyway, I have mixed feelings on the issue.  On one hand, ELF is attempting to save the world from humanity, on the other, it is doing so through arson.  But, regardless, the Center for Consumer Freedom is a bullcrap organization that spews propaganda on a 24/7 basis.  It is a front for the tobacco and alcohol industries, and happens to be one of the only groups on earth that opposes Mothers Against Drunk Driving.  I'm siding with PETA on this...

[Fan of Spongebob]

PETA is just a bunch of hippies.  Sight Seeing Dogs help those impared and most of them become friends with their blind owners.  How dare PETA tries to ruin one of America's last and finest holidays?!?  They should be blessed that if those pligrims die then there probably wouldn't be a United States and we be living back in Europe complaining about other stuff.

I used to think "meh" about FOX...I mean, they made XFiles and Sliders...must be a good channel, right? Oh, but then I had the priviledge of hearing what FOX News and Anne Coulter have to say about Canada. Since, hey, all Canadians appear to own dogsleds, and are LUCKY to live on the same continent as the US, I think I have a right to hate this channel.

[Eva:Gina]

i think your forgetting that bush funds terrorists.

at least peta are good for somthing. id rather they shoved chemicals into your eyes than a poor creature that cant defend itself.

and its all bull anyway, more of this made-up propaganda that probably has fiscal benifits for someone who already has too mach money and influence over the world.

grow up, why would animal activists be involved in terrorism? are you all really that gullible?
