I’m not ashamed to have voted against Bush for Kerry-Edwards in 2004, but it gets harder every day.
Responding to a question at a bookstore here, John Edwards said he has never heard of PETA, the animal rights group.
“I can honestly say I have never heard of PETA,” said Edwards. “They don’t want people to eat meat? Well I am not in favor of that.”
Can he possibly be that moronic? If he is so unaware of the news to not know who PETA is, he’s clearly not capable of ever being fully informed about our world. We have a president like that now, we don’t need another.
On a more fundamental note, is he really be such a dunce that he thinks somehow meat-eating versus vegetarian/veganism is going to become a campaign issue requiring a public stance? Alright, now I’m a little ashamed.

Well, it could require a public stance. In the UK they’re scrambling to recover from this: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=458242&in_page_id=1770
For what it’s worth, I still like Edwards. But maybe we should all mail him some PETA literature 😉
He definitely needs some education, even if just for his own mental expansion.
