The Seattle P-I reports today on the conviction of a New Jersey animal rights activist for setting a 2003 fire at the McDonalds near The Space Needle. He wanted to protect "our furry brothers."
Christopher McIntosh, 23, of Maple Shade, N.J., admitted climbing onto the roof of the McDonald's across the street from the Space Needle on Jan. 20, 2003, and setting it ablaze....McIntosh called the Seattle arson tip line and left a message claiming the fire bombing was committed by "ELF-ALF."The Earth Liberation Front and Animal Liberation Front are closely allied, underground groups that use violent means to protest what they see as sprawling development, environmental degradation and animal exploitation.....McIntosh...said "there was an E-L-F-A-L-F hit at McDonald's across from the Space Needle. ... There will be more. ... There will be more. As long as Mother Earth is pillaged, raped, destroyed. As long as McDonald's keeps hurting our furry brothers, there will be more."
Sorry, McIntosh. A cow is not my brother. Nor is a chicken. A cow IS property, milk, cheese, yogurt; cattle are meat, shoes, a bomber jacket. My brothers walk on two legs and can handle a TV remote (at least with instructions from their kids). But my brothers don't torch hamburger stands for political theatre. McIntosh will be sentenced to eight to ten years in a federal penitentiary. Lotsa great veggie meals to look forward to there, I bet.

My personal favorite is a large slab of COW on a charcoal barbque grill.
I propose a test: Put some of these ELF-ALF moonbat wack jobs in a situation where it was starve or eat a Big Mac.
Posted by: JCM on September 27, 2005 01:59 PMWhen I think of the difficult circumstances that poor Mr. McIntosh must have endured during his formative years, the brutal exposure to McD's and Wendy's, the lack of 96" LCD High definition cable television with 32 bit overscan digital DVD players, and a garage that only held two of the families automobiles, I could (almost) shed a tear.
I should applaud Mr. McIntosh's single-minded devotion to protecting "Mother Earth" by converting organic compounds into carbon. His choice of a McD's was influenced, no doubt, by the restaurant chain's intolerant attitudes regarding employment of alternative species.
I especially appreciate the care and consideration that Mr. McIntosh gave to any imposition or injury to other random species (especially human) by lugging his incendiary devices up onto the roof where they could be used as an equal opportunity destroyer.
Hat's off to Mr. McIntosh, who showed us what the left is all about.
Now, OFF WITH HIS HEAD!
Posted by: alphabet soup on September 27, 2005 02:01 PMI'm sure McIntosh will enjoy all of the tube steak he'll be eating in the graybar (if ya know what I mean).
Posted by: Jeffro on September 27, 2005 02:17 PMLEFTIST PINHEADS are seriously crazy.
Next thing you know they will be pushing for LEFTIST PINHEAD/FARM ANIMAL marriage and FARM ANIMAL voting rights.

Did you check to see if Mr. Ed voted last November?? How about Goldsteins puppy?? Posted by: Mr. Cynical on September 27, 2005 03:07 PM
I'm sure some of McIntosh's fellow inmates will be delighted to hear him criticize them for eating animals around the dinner table.
If McIntosh starts in with his BS to the prison crowd, something tells me there will probably be some undesirable consequences. Posted by: Mr. Cynical on September 27, 2005 03:11 PM
Cows don't have fur!
Posted by: Jim L on September 27, 2005 03:27 PMOne only need look to the loss of property rights caused by all of of the Wetland legislation that vaguely tries to subjugate man, to any number of isignificant plants or animals that *might* be near any source of standing water.
And this kind of thinking fuels the overreach of statists that will do anything to confiscate more of our property rights.
Thanks for the post.
Posted by: Jeff B. on September 27, 2005 03:53 PMToo bad they don't share that sense of duty when it comes to saving unborn *human* babies!
The LEFTIST PINHEADS are so friggin bassackwards!
What drugs cause this brain damage?
Posted by: Deborah on September 27, 2005 04:53 PMI've actually, thru intense & detailed research, come to the conclusion that LEFTIST PINHEADS are actually from a faraway planet called Alpha Centaura. It is a dyslexic planet so they look at everything backwards!
I don't think their Earthly problems are caused by drugs. It is more likely than not that their problems are brain damage caused by oxygen deprivation on the long spaceship ride from Alpha Centaura to Earth.
I will only stop my relentless disrespect for LEFTIST PINHEADS when I see the Mothership hovering over the Freemount District beaming everyone of these a**holes up!

But I don't recall any state borders near there. I doubt firefighters from Idaho or Oregon responded. So why is he going in the federal pen? Is it just me, or does there actually seem to be nothing particularly federal about this?
Posted by: TB on September 27, 2005 05:42 PMEee i Eee i ooooooo
And on his farm he had TOFU
Eee i Eee i ooooooo
With a gag gag here
And a gag gag there
Here a gag
There a gag
Everywhere a gag me
Old Mc Intosh had a farm
Eee i Eee i ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I cannot think about this without cracking up.
I know what this LEFTIST PINHEAD did was horrible.
The clown could have killed someone.
But I'll bet McIntosh never thought thru the consequences of getting caught.
I can only imagine how BillyBob, the ax murderer from Yakima or Vermin T., the convicted inner city gay male rapist will react to Mr. McIntosh's keen insights into animal rights!!
Just wondering as the chicken is just about to come out of the Webber with that wonderful smoke.
Mr. McIntosh: I've heard that Federal Pen vegetable loaf is absolutely delicious. Add a little A1 Steak Sauce and... -- Oh, that's right they don't have that sauce in prison. Too bad, so-o-o-o sad.
By the time you get out, in seven years or so, you'll be so glad to get your hands on a sausage and egg McMuffin, or a Dick's Deluxe. Sweet dreams with Bruno in the next bunk. Posted by: bulldozer on September 27, 2005 06:34 PM
Apple wood is really good. I do Thanksgiving turkey with a slow apple smoke... um getting hungry now... In a side fire box Brinkman. I want to try some pork that way. Besides wood smoking is two crimes for one, eating meat, using cut wood.
MLK in "A Letter from a Birmingham Jail" talked of being will do to the time in Jail for civil disobedience. Wonder if Mr. McIntosh is willing to do the time for his terrorist attacks.

I believe it is called domestic terrorism
That should move it into the federal jurisdiction Posted by: Jim L on September 27, 2005 09:18 PM
Mother Earth: Save Her from Bush
Brother Cow: Save Him from Bush
Sister Whale: Save Her from Bush
Unborn baby: Suck it’s brains out, were talking choice here!!!!!!!!!
A moonbat whack job starving or eating a Big Mac? Now that's what I call a win-win situation.

Very amusing indeed. Posted by: Amused by liberals on September 28, 2005 09:12 AM
It's a good thing he's an animal lover because there are a lot of animals where he's going.
Never, ever forget that the Achilles Heel of the LEFTIST PINHEADS is that they are oh so serious and oh so self-righteous. They trust no one but themselves which is why they MUST be in control to regulate every aspect of our lives.
LEFTIST PINHEADS are quick to scream about Civil Rights violations....but they are worse than what they claim to abhor!!
LEFTIST PINHEADS have no sense of humor. It is difficult for them to even be slightly funny.
Whenever I talk with a LEFTIST PINHEAD, I think of the song "Send in the CLOWNS"....cuz that is exactly what LENIN'S USEFUL IDIOTS are....CLOWNS!
That said, Mr. McIntosh will be subject to a lot of BEEF jokes....like in the shower, I'm sure other inmates will look at his package and ask "Where's the Beef??"
Certainly prison guards will have to "beef up" security for Mr. McIntosh.
When McIntosh has a complaint, he will be forced to fill out a "What's your Beef" form. Posted by: Mr. Cynical on September 28, 2005 09:45 AM
These are often intelligent (though foolish) kids, persuaded by the desire to be significant. They think they're part of something big, and take it upon themselves to be more important in their own eyes than society at large. This is how cults begin and grow: the draw of a unique, priveleged group.
I think that there is hope of redemption for some of these ELF-ALF types. The realizations and insights that draw you from the self-righteousness of PETA's perspective are the same ones that draw you away from the Left. That is, the same wisdom that acknowledges that animals eat other animals, and that this is natural, is the same wisdom that allows you to see that people compete to win, and this is also natural.
When they stop cursing the system of competition (where some win and some lose-- capitalism) and instead work to make themselves more competitive, and strive to win. They also gain the insight that despite competing, they are connected more strongly with society at large: a paradox until they understand that justice is not contingent upon parity or equity, it is dependent on freedom.
Posted by: Brian Crouch on September 28, 2005 10:38 AMpoof! that black cloud was not a clay pigeon--it was a vandal like McIntosh expressing his unsolicited views on someone's private property; you play the game, you pay the price;

I think he's trying to tell you that the furry fellows are his familial brothers not yours.
