Utah Republican Senator calls Bea Arthur a Terrorist
 
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5069112

The Golden Girl is the lead crusader in the People for Ethical Treatment of Animals’ campaign against KFC, and now the chicken company has accused PETA of “corporate terrorism.”

Last week, senior KFC exec Jonathan Blum testified before a senate judiciary committee, describing the pickets and phone calls and ad campaigns conducted by PETA against KFC. He also complained about PETA celebs like Paul McCartney, Pam Anderson, Russell Simmons and Bea Arthur, and asked that the group’s tax-free status be revoked because “their corporate terrorist activities do not warrant this benefit.”

“Any chicken will tell you that KFC are the corporate terrorists,” Arthur shot back later. “Not those trying to stop animal abuse.” The actress has been campaigning to stop KFC from using chickens that have been de-feathered live in a scalding tank.

The reactions from the senators were mixed. Republican senator Orrin Hatch of Utah agreed that aggressive animal rights groups should be classified as “terrorists.” Democratic senator Patrick Leahy of Vermont, however, scoffed that “this administration aggressively stamps everything with a ‘terrorism’ label” and added that “most Americans would not consider the harassment of animal-testing facilities to be ‘terrorism’ any more than they would consider anti-globalism protesters or anti-war protesters or women’s health activists to be terrorists.”

Orrin Hatch is the same guy who sponsored a costitutional amendment allowing anyone foreign born who had been a citizen for 20 years to run for president.

They may not be terrorists, but they are a little over baked if you ask me. I work in a town called Fishkill in upstate NY, and a few years ago they were petitioning to change the name to Fishsave. Apparently they felt the name suggested cruelty to fish. Turns out the name came from the Dutch who first settled there, and the word KILL means CREEK.:laugh:
