You have to ask yourself: don't they have better things to do?
But what else should you expect from these psychos.
WASHINGTON – The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants the flyswatter in chief to try taking a more humane attitude the next time he's bedeviled by a fly in the White House.
PETA is sending President Barack Obama a Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher, a device that allows users to trap a house fly and then release it outside.
"We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich said Wednesday. "We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals."
During an interview for CNBC at the White House on Tuesday, a fly intruded on Obama's conversation with correspondent John Harwood.
"Get out of here," the president told the pesky insect. When it didn't, he waited for the fly to settle, put his hand up and then smacked it dead.
"Now, where were we?" Obama asked Harwood. Then he added: "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."
Friedrich said that PETA was pleased with Obama's voting record in the Senate on behalf of animal rights and noted that he has been outspoken against animal abuses.
Still, "swatting a fly on TV indicates he's not perfect," Friedrich said, "and we're happy to say that we wish he hadn't."
Deputy press secretary Josh Earnest said the White House has no comment on the matter.
Sometimes I actually do feel like they are basically saying things like this as a joke but I doubt it. I wonder how far they can sink when it comes to respect. I mean can flies even feel pain?
Not to mention this makes proper groups that are dealing with REAL enviromental issuses look like idiots to some.
Is anything PETA does even newsworthy anymore? Pretty much every time they make the press it's yet another asinine publicity stunt. Seeing the latest PETA antics posted is starting to feel like seeing the latest Chick tract.
"It's you Americans. There's something about nipples you hate. If this were Germany, we'd be romping around naked on the stage here."
Well when that girl baked the Kitten I checked their site and not a word about it. It might have change by now.....but still.

We have passed burden of proof, reasonable doubt, overwhelming evidence, nail in the coffin... really, at this point we are just getting more data points in order to construct the perfect correlation, an ideal most statisticians only dream of.

At this point we've gone from beating the dead horse to sodomizing its skeleton's eyesocket.

What? No hot naked chicks wrapped in flypaper attacking people with flyswatters? Pffft.
Something about Libertarianism always bothered me. Then one day, I realized what it was:
Libertarian philosophy can be boiled down to the phrase, "Work Will Make You Free."
In Libertarianism, there is no Government, so the Bosses are free to exploit the Workers.
In Communism, there is no Government, so the Workers are free to exploit the Bosses.
So in Libertarianism, man exploits man, but in Communism, its the other way around! If all you want to do is have some harmless, mindless fun, go H3RE INST3ADZ0RZ!! Grrr! Fight my Brute, you pansy!

Fake Report wrote:INTERNET - The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals wants members of an online forum to stop sodomizing a metaphorical horse skeleton.
PETA has objected to some of the recent activities on the internet forum StarDestroyer.Net, particularly comments about their message to President Barack Obama regarding a recent fly-slaying incident which have been referred to as "sodomizing [the dead horse's] skeleton's eyesocket."
"It's just cruelty," whined one PETA member who has requested not to be named, "There's no point to sodomizing this poor horse's skeleton in the eyesocket."
Another member of PETA, upon being asked if he was aware that the horse skeleton in question was metaphorical, replied that, "It doesn't matter if the horse is alive or not, and it certainly doesn't matter if it's real or not; their activity could encourage other groups to realize that we're nothing but a bunch of loonies! And then where would we get funding?"
I'm just a little surprised they didn't mention the fly's family. They must have decided that since Colbert already took that route, it would make them look like idea theives.

What can they gain by going aganist a couple of kids who no one likes? Haven't you checked your attention-whoring manual?
More proof of my point.
They don't actually care about real animal cruelty.

Hell, if they get this worked up over the Pres killing one fly, they'd probably think I'm the Anti-Christ, what with my giant bug-zapping tennis racket flyswatter. 2,000 volts of insectoid death, powered by 2 AAs.
どうして？お前が夜に自身お触れるから。 Long ago in a distant land, I, Aku, the shape-shifting Master of Darkness, unleashed an unspeakable evil,
but a foolish samurai warrior wielding a magic sword stepped forth to oppose me. Before the final blow
was struck, I tore open a portal in time and flung him into the future, where my evil is law! Now, the fool
seeks to return to the past, and undo the future that is Aku...

PETA has the problem of being complete ideologues. They are terrible at choosing their fights; they make as much noise about the swatting of flies, a battle they won't possibly win, as they do about the death of elephants, which they could win effortlessly.
