Weirdest FR post I've seen yet: DUers are animals!
Humans Should Vote for the President (Non-humans vote for Kerry)

You see, by choosing “A,” you are unavoidably affirming that other than for some superficial biological differences, such as brain size and opposable thumbs, you think that people and animals are similar. From here it follows logically that as animals, smart and sophisticated animals perhaps but animals nonetheless, we are products of our natures just like denizens of the zoo or occupants of the farmyard. It should also be said that like those animals we are in need of a zookeeper or of a farmer to care for us.

Like cows and sheep it is appropriate that we deliver all our productivity to the farmer and like lions in the zoo, it is appropriate that resources like food are distributed to all animals equally. Resembling animals, we ought to dismiss the quaint notion of “family” along with such terms such as “evil”, “soul”, or “faith”. Needless to say, homosexuality is perfectly “natural” and harvesting the young for their skins or stem cells is perfectly “normal”.

But if, in the choice above, you chose B, you are identifying all humans as God’s children, each of us touched by the finger of the Divine. To remain consistent with your beliefs you have virtually no choice but to vote for a candidate who is comfortable using terms like “axis of evil”. You have no choice but to vote for a candidate who shares your basic belief about the origins of reality because more of his decisions will be in accordance with that belief of yours. And what is more, sitting it out is no option; you had better vote.

Remember this: Politics is no more than the practical application of your most deeply held beliefs. It is tough to live in a social environment in which your beliefs are ridiculed and in which their political implications are suppressed. Just ask all the refugees from the former USSR who are voting for Bush. For you, the choice is George W. Bush who clearly also believes that people are here because God created us. That makes him a better choice for Jews who care about Israel and for blacks who care about winning a color blind society. But most importantly, it makes him the only choice for all Americans who know that each one of us is far, far, more than merely a smart gorilla.

Radio talk show host, Rabbi Daniel Lapin, is president of Toward Tradition www.towardtradition.org—the American Alliance of Jews and Christians—a Seattle-based, bridge-building organization providing a voice for all Americans who defend the Judeo-Christian values vital for our nation’s survival.

Bizarre. LOL!

Peace, Elle, "a smart gorilla"

The Nazis de-humanized their enemies as well.

5. This is how Hitler got started
Thing is, I looked at his site and this doesn't seem like a parody. It should be, though.

Anyway, I'll see you guys later -- I have to go now, or my husband, the raw rock of masculinity and sexuality will stone me.

:puke:

6. Can we get the Southern Poverty Law Center to go after the FR?
I think they're advocating hate crimes. Since, in their mind Democrat = minority, welfare cheating, idiot, we might be able to make a case for their inherent racism and sexism.

They are such a waste of molecules. Oxygen thieves, every one...

13. But I don't believe in "god"....
Does that mean I'll be in the first load to go to the Freeper's ovens?

I'm gonna try some marginalizing here..."Well, of course, you understand, any idiot would be for Bush. His psuedo-stupidity appeals to the denizens of America's Mobile Home Communities and Section 8 housing..."

No offnse to any DU'er's who've gotten a full "blessing" of the Bush Economic MIRACLE and are living in a tin box on wheels themselves now...

14. I've looked at that site maybe 2 times
and it makes my thinker hurt.
Just scanning down the page causes me to get some sort of vertigo-like feeling.
Perhaps that might be the reason that people who post on there seem so disjointed?

23. Reptiles always try their flip-flop reality on we humans.
Everything is the opposite of what they say. That's how it goes with those greedy alien lizards.

25. This is what Nazis
and others like them do.

Dehumanize hated groups. (the nazis associated jews with "rats") This allows them to better attack, demean, and even kill opposition. After all, you're not killing humans, just animals.

Make no mistake. If bush is in for another 4 years these people will be hired as brown shirts.
