PETA's director of "vegan outreach", Bruce Friedrich, has been quoted complaining about meat being served at the 2004 World Social Forum: "It's like letting the World Bank or the Ku Klux Klan open up a booth here." According to Consumer Freedom, Friedrich believes sport hunters should be viewed "with the same revulsion we presently reserve for Nazi doctors and slave traders".

He once wrote that Oklahoma City bomber Timothy McVeigh "should not be allowed to take even one more life", urging the terrorist's warden to serve the condemned prisoner meatless meals. When McVeigh opted for a vegetarian last meal, Friedrich proclaimed that the decision to abstain from meat "groups him with some of the world's greatest visionaries, including Albert Schweitzer, Gandhi, Leo Tolstoy and Albert Einstein".

The STOP THE WAR COALITION are having a fit over the US’s efforts killing terrorists in Fallujah, and have organised a last-minute rally starting at 5pm tomorrow (Thursday) at Town Hall, and marching to the US Consulate in Martin Place at 6pm. What can you do? You can join Protest Warrior in numbers.
We need:
1. Cameras – these are, behind police, our best defence from left-wing violence. If you have a digital camera or a video camera, can you please bring it?
2. Signs – good ideas for signs can be found here – draw them onto large-sized cardboard with Artline pens/textas. If you can’t bring a sign, a flag or a camera would more than suffice.
3. People – if you have a blog, please reprint this message on your blog. E-mail it to people you know who would be interested in joining us. Put it in the comments section of right-wing blogs.
We’ve done this once before with good success, as can be seen here so it’d be good to do it again.
We will be meeting at: STARBUCKS, George Street, near the Greater Union cinemas, just south of Town Hall, at 5pm on Thursday the 11th. From there, we will get to the US Consulate before the lefties, at around 5:50/5:55pm. If you cannot make it until then, meet us at the US Consulate (Martin Place) at 5:50pm. The address is MLC Centre, Level 59, 19-29 Martin Place, Sydney.

Another significant sliver of their vote doesn't care much for the holy rollers but recognises that on the big issue -- the war -- the Republicans are right.

Feisty internet blogger Michele Catalano put it very well in her election day declaration: "I voted for George Bush. I am not a redneck. I do not spend my days watching cars race around a track while I drink cheap beer and slap my woman on the ass. I am not a Bible thumper. In fact, I am an atheist. I am not a homophobe."
