The most likely consequence of associating "green" (environmentalism) with "red" (Marxism) would seem to be hurting the image of environmentalism by tying it to an ideology responsible for millions of deaths and untold human suffering. (see e.g. http://www.polishlibrary.org/review/black_book_of_communism.htm ). I’m not sure what the name of this website supposed to accomplish?

I never claim to be "green," nor do I say anything at all about Peta. I think most reasonable people would disagree that spraypainting racist messages is "standard graffiti." Are you saying that people shouldn't be concerned about this, because the building vandalized belongs to a group you disagree with? Erin:

Perhaps a bit of research into PETA’s practices would be advisable?

I can't stand it when people with influence stigmatize anything that threatens their hold on power. Media groups need to stop trying to maximize their bottom line, and drop labels, and sensational journalism practices. This is so ridiculous.
