Because they are a group of pedophiles, and PETA is just a group of wacky animal lovers.. yet they get more hate.

Not saying I wouldn't flip if they did it to me though...

I am glad assault and destruction of private property is funny to you.

Some of their members are extremists. I am not comparing them to NAMBLA, but you're glossing over the fact that there are some real maniacs amongst PETA.

Yeah, that's a given. But I've heard a lot more anti-PETA rants than anti-NAMBLA ones, if any.

Sure. Still, as we agree, not very comparable to organized pedophiles.

I made the point, PETA gets so much hate because they make headlines. NAMBLA doesn't, so they get less hate. They're not on the radar.

Your response was, "No, headlines don't have anything to do with it. PETA is persecuted because they go against the desires of society". You must be implying that NAMBLA reinforces the values of society, otherwise your argument makes no sense.

I know what NAMBLA is. I'm sure every time NAMBLA puts out a press release, they get crucified, too.

Oh, wait. I don't see press releases suggesting stupid, sick, or bizarre things in furtherance of their cause. I only see that from PETA.

I wouldn't say that PETA gets more hate than a group of pedophiles. I would say that PETA spends more time putting a target sign on themselves. Their campaign to get other people to think like them is so extreme that they've made themselves repulsive or a joke. Or both.

But I'm pretty sure there will be people with pitchforks and burnings of effigies at the next NAMBLA rally that makes its way to CNN.

Comments like this one are how it's clear you are a jerk IRL.
