Well done.

Bravo! I loled... Good job, Karen.

Nice Job Karen! Couldn't Of Said It Better Myself!

now, shouldn't the hsus put up the money to put this ad in the times? you know, instead of putting up money as ransoms?

Brad,
I think that's a great idea... money much better spent than on activist witch hunts.

(And by the looks of it, I think my photoshopping skills were about as good as CCF's, so this ad could run as-is!)

Will, that's fantastic!

Hehehe perfect!

Love it!
Did you design that picture of the cigarette towers? If only someone had the money to run this who actually would! Karen, congrats. You're going to love the apron. I bought at AR 2008 and wear it around proudly.

David:
Sorry, I should have had an image credit in the original post! I found it on a couple blogs (it's amazing what "cigarette+terrorism" turns up) but just tracked down the original and it looks like it was made by a New Zealand anti-smoking group.

Nicely done. Would be great to see more opportunities taken to discredit CCF and the industries the hatchet group works for. Erode their 'credibility'.

Thanks Eric. And I completely agree, we need much more information getting out there about these groups, how they operate, and who pulls the strings.

Why not start a fund to raise the cash to get this in the Times too? I'm sure we could get a few hundred people to chip in $10 each.

YES! the ad is awesome.

This is great, Will. I have grown weary of CCF and their hypocritical tactics. I hope more comes of this ad.

The CCF connection to Phillip Morris to "real terrorists" is interesting and I guess it's sort of playing the name game on their terms in a way. It is useful to point out these contradictions, but there's a bigger picture here.

I think the connection of groups like the CCF to terrorists is even easier to make - yet perhaps a bit overplayed and hence in the category of things some activists don't like to talk about because they worry about being dismissed by their opponents, or just sounding cliche.

But the CCF pays taxes to the United States Government. And are connected to and in full support of that government in many other ways. That's your connection to terrorism. The US government is the biggest terrorist organization on the planet. The state and all of it's tentacles - the military, the cops, the courts, the wage system - this is terrorism in action. The terror of war and the terror of police repression, the terror of living our lives in step with business as usual in fear of what happens if we step out of line. Most everything in system is based on terror. And then there's animal expolitation and environmental destruction - firmly rooted in this system of terror.

The American way of life is based on terrorism plain and simple. This is the message that we need to get out.

And then there's all the stats. Pointing out the contradictions of CCF makes sense. But be careful about reffering to the real "terrorist brown people living in the middle east" which is essentially what you are saying when you say "real terrorists in iraq" --- it's playing into the post 9/11 media definition of terrorism, shadowy brown people in a far off land who are dangerous.... Yes, there are people who use terrorist tactics in Iraq (the majority by far are US soldiers)...

This is bullshit to constantly reference these shadowy terrorists in a far off land when we have bigger terrorists in the United States. They wear suits and ties and sit in boardrooms for many hours a day. They live in quite neighborhoods in the suburbs as well as on bustling city streets not unlike the ones Nazi leaders went home too after their days at the office. The maintain the prison system, they declare and continue wars and occupations, they evict people from their homes, they practice and fund vivisection and forest destruction. These people surround us. And they are responsible for a great deal of terror in this world. One of those men in suits was just elected President. You can connect him to terrorism in less then six steps as well.

Perhaps we need to change the image of a terrorist from a bullhorn wielding activist to a person (no longer limited to white men!) in a suit weilding a pen.

CCF promotes terrorism against animals.

The difference is that the purpose of the HSUS is exactly the same as the purpose of the terrorists. A gasoline company sells its gasoline for use for transportation, not to be used in firebombs, and the cigarette smuggling is a somewhat similar misuse of cigarettes, not as direct, but I suppose I can give people that. The HSUS makes use of illegal activities, maybe passively, but look at the job that they gave a former terrorist. That's accessorizing after the fact.

The use of these terrorist activities is to create a chilling effect on freedom of speech. The right thing for a citizen to do is yell louder to get the HSUS away from our animals with their euthanasia van.

Tom: I have absolutely no idea what you're talking about in any of this comment. Sorry, I just have no idea where to begin with that. HSUS has the purpose as terrorists? What in the world are you talking about?

Elizabeth, isn't it funny how the Center for Consumer Freedom, the Center for Science in the Public Interest, and People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals all have the Rockefellers as their puppet masters? CCF is funded by Monsanto (a front for the Rockefeller Foundation). CSPI is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. PETA is funded by the Rockefeller Philahthropy Advisors and didn't utter a peep when David Rockefeller's prized pig Boris was slaughtered at Rockefeller's Stone Barns organic hog farm. And isn't it funny how CSPI used to advocate trans fats and aspartame and MSG, all of which cause obesity and diabetes? The War on Obesity is like the War on Terror. Both arose from self-orchestrated crises: the Obesity Reichstag and 9/11 (the government had prior knowledge and purposely failed to take action).

Nobody cares about your obesity twoof, Darth! There is NO ROCKEFELLER CONNECTION! Show me proof that Consumer Freedom is funded by Monsanto. Show me proof that CSPI is funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, Rockefeller Family Fund, Rockefeller Brothers Fund, and Rockefeller Philanthropy Advisors. Show me proof that PETA is funded by the Rockefeller Philahthropy Advisors. Show me proof that aspartame and MSG cause obesity and diabetes. You can't prove any of this because they are ALL FUCKING LIES.

It's bad enough you spread America-hate trash like 9/11 twoof. But now you're spreading obesity twoof. Your obesity twoof movement does nothing but endanger health and well-being. How many people have died because they were brainwashed by your obesity twoof movement? If anybody has died because they followed your obesity twoof ramblings and adopted them as truth, you should be held criminally responsible for their murders. Fuck you, you America-hate murdering trash.

troyfromwv, that's a lot coming from you, Mr. Child Abuser.

PUTNAM COUNTY, W.Va. -- A Putnam County man charged with abusing his sons at a public ballfield has been released on bond but has been ordered to have no contact with his children until the case is resolved.

Troy Palmer Sexton, 36, of Summit Ridge Road, Hurricane, is facing domestic battery charges after carrying his 6-year-old son across a field by one ankle and allowing the child's helmeted head to hit the ground "more than once," according to a criminal complaint filed in Putnam Magistrate Court.

Sexton was with his four children, including 6-year-old triplets, at the field behind Winfield Elementary on Aug. 6 when a witness saw him being rough with his children during football practice.
Winfield Patrolmen Al Mick and Patrolman Robert Flinn met Putnam Sheriff's Deputy Chad Weaver at the field and found Sexton's vehicle blocked by the vehicles of other parents.

Sexton was described by officers as standing 6 feet 3 inches tall and weighing about 275 pounds. Police said the man looked calm as they approached.

A witness told Mick she saw Sexton leave his seat, cross the field and lift one of his sons above his head and slam him to the ground.
Another witness told police the father had approached the coaching staff and told them his sons were disappointing to him, he was ashamed of their performance on the field and he was taking them home, the patrolman said.

Sexton then grabbed his other son from the bench, "pinched and twisted" his hip and lifted him off the ground by his ankle, Mick said he was told by a witness.

Sexton walked off the field as he carried his son upside down by the ankle, causing the child's helmeted head to hit the ground "more than once," the complaint said.

He then threw the boy over a chain link fence that surrounds the field and the boy landed hard on the ground.

"It took everybody there by surprise," Mick said of the spectators at the field that day.
"It took them a second to realize this is really happening, this is real."

Mick said witnesses told him that after they realized what was going on, several parents rushed onto the field to confront the man. The criminal complaint said an onlooker yelled, "You can't do that to a child!" They said Sexton responded, "Mind your own f-ing business!"

Police said the man tried to leave the field with his four children but was prevented by onlookers who had moved their vehicles to block him and prevent him from leaving.

When police arrived, Sexton was standing with the triplets - the two boys and a girl - and another daughter who appeared to be slightly older, Mick said. Bruising was visible on one boy's legs, the patrolman said.
"The children were still visibly upset, emotional, crying, obviously scared to death," Mick said.

The officer said Sexton admitted to treating his two sons in such a manner but said he did not see why everyone was making such a big deal about it.

Mick said he asked some of the mothers at the field to take the man's children away so they wouldn't see their father arrested and to ensure their safety.

"The mama bears took good care of them, got them something to eat and to drink," Mick said. "I'm very proud of the way the community came together to take care of those kids."

The man was arrested at the field without incident and charged with two counts of domestic battery, misdemeanors. He was released on $20,000 bond Friday.

The children are in the custody of their mother, who was at work when the incident occurred, at their Hurricane home. Mick said the father was ordered to have no contact with the children until the charges are resolved and he is living elsewhere.

Darth, you have no clue. Typical clueless nutfuck twoofer.
