Obama: Flygate

PETA Freaks Out.

Oh come on now, PETA.  Y’all do a lot of good for animal rights, but then you undermine your admirable goal by doing shit that is really just absurd.

Yesterday during Obama’s interview with CNBC, a pesky fly starting flying about Obama’s face.  So he did what any normal person would do when confronted with an annoying fly–he swatted that fucker dead.

I saw this on the TV last night and said “Uh oh.  Here comes the ‘Obama hates animals’ meme.”  Of course, PETA did not let me down.  PETA spokesman Bruce Friedrich had this to say:”We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals. We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”

After stating that PETA was happy with Obama’s voting record on animal rights, he said,  “Swatting a fly on TV indicates he’s not perfect, and we’re happy to say that we wish he hadn’t.”

Oh for fuck’s sake.

I wonder what PETA’s position on animal on animal abuse is.  This cat clearly has it in for flies:
