| Dutch prosecutors charged an animal rights campaigner Wednesday with the murder of anti-immigrant politician Pim Fortuyn. The shooting of Fortuyn in a car park Monday, barely a week before a general election in which he was expected to perform well, stunned this quiet country and sent shock waves across Europe. Lawyers have named the suspect as Volkert van der Graaf, 32, a vegan environmental activist opposed to factory farming. I guess I'm just not as smart as they are, despite my 3-digt IQ. How can you be against killing animals or even causing them discomfort and then pop off a perfectly usable, if a bit eccentric, human being? It doesn't make sense to me. Should I say "Duh!" now? Should I wipe my chin? Or are they the ones that're wrong? |

| #4 Pim Fortuyn was not killed at a car park, but at the Media Park in Hilversum, his driver just came to pick him up. Fortuyn was not an anti-immigrant politician, he was against people who leave their land, because the law in Holland allows anyone to come over here, do nothing and get money. It is highly interesting for each foreigner to intrude in Holland, he was up to destimulate that. He said Islam was a silly, stupid culture? Not at all. He said: it would be silly, stupid if Holland would get back in time, about 1000 years, and become a Islam-nation with Sharia-laws. FraNL |

| #2 Before 9-11 and Rantburg, one of my hobbies was the Leftists and Loons site. I noticed I didn't restore it when I switched servers so I'll put the link back up today. ALF and ELF are on there, along with Ramsey Clark and even the ADA. L & L organizes them into Red (commies), Blacks (anarchists), Greens (ALF and ELF are on the list), and Pinks ("radicals," many classic libs, and Gay/Queer/Whatever the hell they are. If I can time, I want to add the Brown(shirts) and split the Pinks into Pinks and Lavendars. They keep expecting me to do stuff at my place of employment, though... |

| #1 Fred, It makes perfect sense to the ALF crowd. They honestly believe that killing humans to save animals is justifiable. If you're interested in a starting point to learn about these kooks, try http://www.animalrights.net -- the site is NOT pro-vegan, but rather documents their attacks and idiocies. Regards, |
