Most organizations that are pro-life will denounce anyone who does perform violence against abortion clinics. They will shun most anyone who advocates violence.
Instead we have here PETA supporting this fellow.
If I were to find out that any organization I give money to were working outside of what I thought was moral, I would stop giving to them until the point where they stop doing what I thought was not moral. If you give to PETA, can you say the same?

Near as I can tell, the same way that Pope Pius XII not speaking out against the Nazis while issueing fake death and baptism certificates for 800,000 Jews means that the Catholic Church co-operated with the Holocaust. Or a PETA member giving money yet being completely unaware of a firebombing incident is "supporting arson".

Ah- but that doesn't necessarily mean that they've told his students what the charges are- or that they've told the average doner what they are- or that they've even let the membership KNOW THAT THEY DID THIS!
I guess that's what makes me different then PETA. I've never donated money to someone who's admitted they'd killed an abortionist, or torched an abortion clinic, nor would I ever. And likewise, I'd never descri

They should- but demonizing them is no way to get them to do it.
I know what Operation Rescue does, and have never given them money either. Does that make me better than PETA members?
What about the other two? Or are you like me- give only to Birthright for your anti-abortion support? I'd like to say that doesn't support Arson- but to be truthfull I'm not real

Controlled burning is necessary, lest we have even _more_ uncontrolled fires causing even more amounts of unnecessary pollution and 'unrecognizable furry dead things'.

I was playing devil's advocate (partly because I've seen similar in the past, and think them laughable).

His name is Rodney Coronado.
Did the prez of PETA... I can't find anything to substantiate this, besides the fact that it's been repeated across multiple sites (which I put little stock in).
Did he really receive $70K... I found that here [animalscam.com] and here [animalscam.com].

I'm a skeptical person by nature, and know how similarly-aligned political groups can take a "story" and all run with it -- I remember the "more women are beaten on Super Bowl Sunday than any other day of the year" myth that was popular amongst various feminist groups, until it was publicly debunked.
All reports on this issue are on detractor web sites, and that transcript may or may not be such, I have no way of knowing for sure since the original source no longer makes it a

Based on the information provided in that ad, there's absolutely no reason to think that PETA has done anything bad or wrong here, but the ad isn't exactly aimed at the top of the IQ chart, now is it?
