Bruce Friedrich is a Moron Too

This Vortex of Invalidity is trying to equate meat-eaters to whacked out Nazi death camp leaders who had human skin lamp shades. Interesting enough, the link to enlarge the image is broken, but about half way down the page you can see a thumbnail of the actual billboard. To clarify, Big Bruce is the loser that's in charge of PETA's Vegan campaigns.

First, Lee Strobel is the host of a show called "Faith Under Fire" on the PAX network, which I just happened to stumble across. The Brucey character, you should all be familiar with by now. You can read about who Wesley Smith is at this site. I take the following from the page of the Vegetable People themselves.

WESLEY SMITH: Well, nobody supports animal cruelty, and of course PETA will take somebody who.

BRUCE FRIEDRICH: But if you eat meat, you do.

LEE STROBEL: Bruce, give him a chance to respond.

WESLEY SMITH: Nobody supports cruelty to animals, and, uh, what PETA tends to do is find an exaggerated or the exception rather than the rule and say that that's the rule.

LEE STROBEL: Okay, we're going to, we're going to.

WESLEY SMITH: Here's what the, here's what the holocaust on your plate campaign said, and the audience has to understand that they mean this literally, not metaphorically, quote, "The leather sofa and hand bag are the modern equivalent of the lamp shades made from the skins of people killed in death camps". People that eat steaks are not Heinrich Himmler, and anybody who equates the Holocaust with cattle ranching does, is not qualified to preach morality to anybody.

LEE STROBEL: Now Bruce, how do you answer that? That really seems over the top. Come on.

BRUCE FRIEDRICH: Our point is, is that it's the same mentality, this mentality that might makes right that allowed the Holocaust that allows us to do these sorts of things to animals. The reality is that other animals, differences between human beings and other animals are differences of degree, they're not differences of kind. Other animals are made of flesh and blood and bone, just like human beings are. They have the same range of emotion, they have the same vital organs, and they feel pain.



ANIMALS ARE NOT HUMAN BEINGS. Also, animals aren't citizens. Therefore, they don't have civil rights. You people are something else, you really are. Also, Super Bruce tried to say that Jesus was a vegetarian. *sigh* Dr. Smith shot him down on that one too. If you are so inclined, read the full transcript at the link provided above.

Human stupidity never fails to amaze me.

Medium, please. Not,
