Liberal Terrorists with Tofu breath
The Beautiful & Brilliant Michelle Malkin
(Liberals: Insert your usual left-wing hate-filled, vicious, RACIST,
personal attacks HERE if unable to refute the article... as usual)
They are bomb-throwing Birkenstock brats. Wolves in hemp clothing.
Enemies of scientific progress. Inveterate haters of humanity. They
are environmental extremists and animal rights zealots. They are
running loose. And they are endangering us all.
The same technology that is producing miracle crops is producing
miracle medicines to improve human health and longevity. Biotech is
also being used to tackle toxic waste, reduce lead contamination and
clean up sewage systems. But in the minds of the technophobes, the
only politically correct way to cure disease is to wear red-string
bracelets, eat organically grown ginger and pray to Gaia. The only
environmentally acceptable way to improve the earth is to compost
banana peels and recycle soy milk cartons. And the
only morally tolerable way to use modern technology -- e.g., the
Internet -- is to use it to preach violence and destroy the progress
of others.
With each new scientific breakthrough, the anti-biotech militants have
grown more desperate and reckless. "Ultimately," Fumento writes, "only
two things can defeat such negativism. One is education; the other is
the products themselves." There is a third force: the voices of
biotech's myriad beneficiaries, from the cancer patients whose lives
have been saved by Gleevec to the Third World consumers of golden
rice. It's time to verbally roast the vegan marshmallows and let
biotech move forward without fear.
The national press, which has put a happy green face on the
environmental movement for three decades, has largely ignored a recent
rising tide of violence being waged by eco-nuts across the country --
and around the world. In August, someone planted explosives at
biotechnology giant Chiron Corp. in Emeryville, Calif. Less than a
month later, cosmetics manufacturer Shaklee Corp. in Pleasanton was
hit. Both targets have ties to Huntingdon Life Sciences, a research
lab that conducts animal tests for pharmaceutical, agrochemical and
biotechnology products. Huntingdon has for years been the victim of a
sustained campaign of intimidation, harassment and violence by
anti-science thugs.No one was hurt in the northern California attacks,
but the bomb blasts struck terror in researchers at both companies who
have dedicated their careers to improving their fellow citizens'
quality of life.
The chief suspect in the bombings is Daniel Andreas San Diego. The
feds, who have issued an all-points bulletin listing him as armed and
dangerous, say he has gone underground -- most likely with the help of
a loose-knit network of radical animal-rights activists. The San
Francisco Chronicle described San Diego as a "clean-cut, soft-spoken
25-year-old Sonoma County man, who was trying to invent a vegan
marshmallow."
"Vegan marshmallows." What an apt metaphor for domestic terrorists who
take cover under the guise of "mainstream" environmental activism with
its mushy and harmless facade. PETA, the pet charity of famous vegans
such as Alicia Silverstone and Paul McCartney, may seem as pale and
innocuous as a marshmallow. But it doesn't just dole out money for
celebrity anti-meat ads. The group has provided financial support for
the Earth Liberation Front, which along with its sister organization,
the Animal Liberation Front, is responsible for committing more than
600 criminal acts between 1996 and 2002, according to the FBI. In
Washington, mainstream green lobbyists are silent about anti-biotech
mayhem that has resulted in the destruction of experimental crops in
the Pacific Northwest, Louisiana, France and India.
What's at stake? While aspiring terrorists with tofu breath build nail
bombs and play with matches, the best and brightest scientists around
the world are forging miraculous breakthroughs that will benefit all
mankind -- and especially the poor in underdeveloped nations that the
leftists and Luddites claim to care about so much.
Science journalist Michael Fumento comprehensively documents such
stunning developments in his eye-opening new book, "Bioevolution: How
Biotechnology Is Changing Our World." It's an invaluable antidote to
the irrational hysteria of eco-terrorists. Fumento reports on how
agricultural biotech researchers are refining methods of pumping up
protein levels in corn, boosting vitamin levels in a wide variety of
crops, making crops resistant to the cold, and finding ways to
accelerate the growth of cotton, potatoes and tomatoes. They've
developed a process called "gene silencing" to fight bacterial
diseases that can devastate fruit and nut harvests and have even come
up with a potato plant that glows green when it's thirsty.

Left-wing liberals are EVERYTHING they accuse the right of being. They
are mean, vicious, hateful, greedy, cold-hearted, selfish, intolerant,
bigoted and racist.
