Looks like the Left is eating their own.

First time I've ever seen PETA try to nail a fat turkey.

I'm suprised his socialist fans haven't demanded some hand outs from him, since he lives the life of a top 1 percent income earning capitalist.
He's such a fraud. He's made money off of people selling the anti-capitalist theme, and then lives the very way of life he trashes.
Fat a5s!

PETA people are too stupid to live without someone helping them.

Someone must be providing for them.

If we find them, kill them, then PETA might go away.

I've always said, Mikey Moore's opinion carries a lot of weight - or is it, his weight carries a lot of opinion?

It's an inconsequential matter, so I honestly can't remember which...

Coincidentally I investigated a vegetarian diet for weight loss but it's more than weight loss. PETA doesn't care that they're alienating people. This is pretty condescending to me. There are fat vegetarians and even fat vegans so if he doesn't figure out why eats so much, it's not going to help.

That's a new one. It doesn't suprise me. If he practiced what he preaches he's give half his fortune to memebers of his fan club, or he'd move to Cuba.

Me too. I like the meeting locations - Longhorn, Morton's, Ruth's Chris, Logan's, Lone Star, the list goes on and on.

If God didn't want us to eat animals why did he make them out of meat?

But the difference is that it isn't MM's fault that he is such a morbidly obese gastropod. It is entirely, 100% the fault of the food industry! There need to be more people out there 'raising awareness' of these sort of things so that others don't turn out that way!

Geez. /sarcasm off

DFU SONG: My Favorite Things (sing it, Michael Moore)
DFU SONGS | 7-2004 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 07/02/2004 8:16:06 AM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - MY FAVORITE THINGS

Krispy Kreme donuts with extra cream filling...find me a buffet 'cause I'm always willing
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

Deep fried fresh veggies with nice crispy breading...there's lots of fiber there that I am getting
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

Theatre popcorn with two cups of butter...half-eaten Snickers bars found in the gutter
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

In the shower I take monthly when I wash my hair
I can't see my feet and I'm wondering if my private parts are...still there

Large baked potatoes with salt and cheese topping...whoops, there goes seven more buttons a popping
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

Fresh eggnog smoothies with cookies and crackers...I weigh more than the front four of the Packers
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

Steaks fried in bacon grease, Hollandaise dripping...chugging down brewskis...there's no time for sipping
And the aroma that pork gravy brings...these are a few of my favorite things

In the shower I take monthly when I wash my hair
I can't see my feet and I'm wondering if my private parts are...still there

But can't cars run off of animal fat. Heck he should be able to run his car forever, just stick an IV from his fat head to the gas tank.

DFU SONG: Eve of Destruction (won't be long until Michael Moore's explosion)
DFU SONG PARODIES | 5-2004 | Lyrics, Doug from Upland

Posted on 05/17/2004 11:19:11 AM PDT by doug from upland

MIDI - EVE OF DESTRUCTION

His arteries, are they imploding?
He's at 450, we have been noting
Blood pressure's 305...but, control the gloating
He looks just like a whale whenever he is floating
He's really the definition of self-promoting

And I tell you over and over and over again, my friend
That it won't be long till we watch Michael's explosion

He could not find truth if it bit his fanny
He makes up what he likes and pretends it is true
He is Jabba the Hut, but he isn't as dainty
Get the harpoon right now...I will shout "Thar he blew"

He's a real human slob...more slimy than The Blob
And I tell you over and over and over again, my friend
That it won't be long till we watch Michael's explosion

The fat will fly when we watch Michael's explosion

His Bowling film was filled with lying
If you believe it, you're self-denying
A traitor like this scum...yes, we should be trying
He's laughing at the bank at what fans have been buying
And even his fruits and veggies he likes deep frying

And I tell you over and over and over again, my friend
That it won't be long till we watch Michael's, explosion

He wowed 'em at Cannes, those Surrender Monkeys
In the great terror war, they are really a drag
When the going gets tough, do not count on their back-up
With just one cherry bomb, they will raise the white flag

He's real human slob...more slimy than The Blob
And I tell you over and over and over again, my friend
That it won't be long till we watch Michael's explosion

The fat will fly when we watch Michael's explosion

Beautiful! One of my officemates (and one of my grad advisors) at school is a hard-core vegetarian and part of the anti-gun, tree-hugger, 'killing a living being to eat is wrong', whine whine whine crowd.

I try to explain to them my new-found 'vegetable rights activism & awareness campaign'. I personally don't see how people can kill such beautiful plants, just to eat them. So, I merely go after the critters who devour such beautiful plants. (i.e. cows, pigs, chicken, turkey, duck/goose, deer...)

And in keeping with the normal 'activist mentality', I force my beliefs down their throat and tell them that they HAVE to live the same way I do!

You should join my campaign. Its great, Cow eats veggies, I eat cow. Two birds with one stone!!
