Hey, everyone loves pork. They get mad when everyone else gets and enjoys it!

I can't. I just can't. I thought this was a joke, but apparently the good folks at PETA are off their meds again. This is what I mean about extreme thinking. Far left, or far right. The guy killed a fly. A FREAKING FLY. And they're acting like he just kicked a puppy.

PETA CALLING OBAMA'S KILLING OF FLY AN EXECUTION

POLITICO (Washington) - The president has been getting lots of kudos for a lightning-fast, Mr. Miyagi-worthy swipe he employed to slay a pesky house fly that was buzzing him in mid-interview during a taping with CNBC that aired Wednesday.

"He stopped the interview to track and kill the fly," said talk show host Conan O'Brien.

"That's some pretty impressive hand-eye coordination right there," Jimmy Fallon gushed. "Makes Obama look like a bad ass."

But now People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, calling it an "execution," wants the commander-in-chief to show a little more compassion to even "the least sympathetic animals."

"Believe it or not, we've actually been contacted by multiple media outlets wanting to know PETA's official response to the executive insect execution," a blog on the group's website explained. "In a nutshell, our position is this: He isn't the Buddha, he's a human being, and human beings have a long way to go before they think before they act."

The group has sent Obama a device that traps a fly so it can then be released outside.

"We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals," PETA spokesman Bruce Freidrich explained.

The fly saga began Tuesday, and it was the subject of a news report on Italian TV and almost a dozen Youtube postings that have been viewed more than 750,000 times. Thousands of people also have added commentary, including one who wrote, "But can he duck a shoe?" in reference to a hugely popular video of former president George Bush ducking a shoe thrown at him by an Iraqi cameraman during a news conference in Baghdad.

"Get out of here," Obama said as the fly buzzed him during his interview. The pest persisted, and when it landed on his left forearm, Obama smacked it.

"Now, where were we?" the president said without missing a beat. Pleased with himself, he added, "That was pretty impressive, wasn't it? I got the sucker."

Several observers in the room gave congratulatory shout-outs. Obama pointed to the floor and instructed an obliging cameraman to get a close-up of the corpse.

"It's like he's got one of those fly Terminator targeting systems in his eyes," said an awed Jon Stewart.

umm last time i checked PETA cares for animals (well they say they do at least), and a fly is a insect...i hate these idiots.

I don't think Peta would like me. I swat flies, and squash spiders and spray bees and I do sleep at night.


TIS

Right!!

You've got Harry Reid, Dick Durbin and John Mertha to speak for you!!

By the way, Congress DID have Rep. JC Watts up until a few years ago. It's a shame there aren't more sensible African Americans like him & Justice Thomas and Conde Rice out there.

Apple

For your viewing pleasue. They showed this last night at the corresponence dinner.

TIS

Sensible African-Americans? Oh, that cries out for a definition.

Very randon (must be a slow day).. ;), why is it almost always when you see who's online, the anonymous section show's nearly everyone checking the "Do you have any tattoos" site. Is that for real? Just wondering


TIS

TIS, what do you say?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMmX72N6EtE

Yea, I saw that yesterday. Pictures can be deceiving can't they. I hear Fox news jumped on the story playing it over and over and over, from only the "questionable" view.



TIS

What I don't understand is, so what if he did?? It proves he's a young and vital man. Oh, no, we wouldn't want that in a President, would we??

as long as he doesnt stick anything in there is no problem, and if anybody says it is...well they are idiots.

Just because you're on a diet doesn't mean you can't look at the menu.

young and vital but he can't throw a baseball

Watch the vidoe tape. The whole thing is a hoax cooked up by wingnuts and promoted by Faux "News."

I don't see a difference. Was Obama's a bad throw? Then again, I am NOT an expert (far from it).


TIS

DT, explain what you mean please?

EDIT AGAIN: Nevermind, you are referring to the original video re: Obama eyeing that woman right? I thought you were talking about the ball throw video. Yea Fox News says it all. Don't believe anything they show.

Sure came in handy for Katrina.

All men look.

We just can't help it.

In contrast to the last President, who actually owned a baseball team. But was, you know, a fucking retard.

Yea but PB, don't forget, Bush is the kind of guy you'd like to "have a beer with". That's a qualification for some. I like fucking idiot better. More suitable. Ok, don't get me started.

TIS

Agreed! But I didn't see this particular video in that respect. Obama is much too smart to make it that obvious I would think.

TIS

To call Bush a trained chimp is to insult an entire species of primates.

Hey, Slick Willie would've gotten a handful of ass. At least a cheek.

Yeah, Obama's throw was disappointing. He threw as though it was the first time he threw a ball. After the impressive opening ceremony which included the living Cardinal Hall of Famers with Stan the Man Musial being driven on the field, I was expecting an effort that was better than that of a 5 year old.

Also, when he joined the broadcast booth, he couldn't get out of there fast enough. When he was asked at the end of the inning whether he would stick around for the next segment, he turned around and said that he wasn't sure what time arrangements were made with his people, and that he may have to leave. He's the President of the United States, for crying out loud. He doesn't have to leave if he doesn't want to. He sets the travel and social agenda for the evening. He just couldn't get out of there fast enough.

Anyway, I think he's doing a good job in the Oval Office. Baseball is obviously not his thing.

I guess it's hard for me to fell disppointed over something like this, but what do I know about sports? Heck it looked fine to me.

He is a basketball fan all the way!! Well, let me put it this way, I've seen him playing basketball and I know he loves it. He oughta come out to CA and shoot hoops with the Lakers.




TIS

Now Kly, be easy. I didn't see him throw the pitch, but he certainly does need to check with his people to determine what's on his schedule and the associated time. By the way, I watched him in the booth for a few minutes and he seemed perfectly relaxed.

Bombshell: Orders revoked for soldier challenging prez
Major victory for Army warrior questioning Obama's birthplace

A U.S. Army Reserve major from Florida scheduled to report for deployment to Afghanistan within days has had his military orders revoked after arguing he should not be required to serve under a president who has not proven his eligibility for office.

His attorney, Orly Taitz, confirmed to WND the military has rescinded his impending deployment orders.

"We won! We won before we even arrived," she said with excitement. "It means that the military has nothing to show for Obama. It means that the military has directly responded by saying Obama is illegitimate – and they cannot fight it. Therefore, they are revoking the order!"

She continued, "They just said, 'Order revoked.' No explanation. No reasons – just revoked."

A hearing on the questions raised by Maj. Stefan Frederick Cook, an engineer who told WND he wants to serve his country in Afghanistan, was scheduled for July 16 at 9:30 a.m.

Join the petition campaign to make President Obama reveal his long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate!

"As an officer in the armed forces of the United States, it is [my] duty to gain clarification on any order we may believe illegal. With that said, if President Obama is found not to be a 'natural-born citizen,' he is not eligible to be commander-in-chief," he told WND only hours after the case was filed.

he is a white sox fan for crying out loud...no duh he doesnt no baseball.

I think he has more important issues to deal with than watching a baseball game.

Okay, I'm a Bronx Democrat, but Sonia Sotomayor's vague answers are starting to wear thin even on me.

And yeah, reverse discrimination is still discrimination.
