Google "PCRM legislative fund" to see for yourself the kind of legal bullying the PCRM have been up to. Last summer, a PCRM-associated advertiser by the name of Mariana Tosca threatened to sue a European blogger for having the nerve to criticize the PCRM's previous campaign, their obnoxious "zero to vegan" billboard, while exposing the PCRM's and their advertiser's association to a crackpot vegan cult leader (seeing is believing, so just Google "PCRM, Ching Hai)". The bullying got so out of hand that the blogger ended up reporting the advertiser and her lawyer to the police for attempted blackmail. That's the type of crowd you are dealing with here: animal rights extremists trying to go mainstream and reinvent themselves as pseudo-physicians and "political advertisers". They might bring a Saatchi-esque edge to their advertisements (and certainly a lot of people believe that any publicity is good publicity), but will inevitably resort to exactly the kind of coercive extremism that this kind of ALF type crowd is long known for.criticaspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-3279403012966033672011-10-05T09:16:21.595+01:002011-10-05T09:16:21.595+01:00One should add that the "Physicians' Comm...One should add that the "Physicians' Committee for Responsible Medicine" is not in fact a scientific body, but a single-issue animal liberationist pressure group that is very cagey on how many of its members are recognised "physicians".Philip Eaglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09944496163799386793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5574479.post-68981747347536218342011-10-05T08:42:09.972+01:002011-10-05T08:42:09.972+01:00We eat lots of corn in Minnesota so I don't th...We eat lots of corn in Minnesota so I don't think we will be seeing any Kernal Death billboards. High-Fructose Corn Syrup may be another matter, as it is purported to confuse one's mind relative to caloric intake.
