Yeah – I know this was supposed to be a “Putrid Potpourri” edition, but there’s been alarming real-time developments in Freeperville.
You know how every so often a little reality creeps into the eternal ragefest, when they catch themselves during the rage ramp-up and realize they’re being played? This was one of those times. However, the True Believers quickly regroup and counterattack. Suit up, gentle people, because the first offering is –Satanic Butterballs!
Happy Halal Thanksgiving (Boycott Butterball)

Did you know that the turkey you’re going to enjoy on Thanksgiving Day this Thursday is probably halal? If it’s a Butterball turkey, then it certainly is.
I discovered that only two plants in the U.S. that perform halal slaughter keep the halal meat separated from the non-halal meat. At other meat-packing plants, animals are slaughtered following halal requirements, but then only a small bit of the meat is actually labeled halal.
Wendy Howze, a Butterball Consumer Response Representative, responded: “Our whole turkeys are certified halal.”
Halal slaughter involves cutting the trachea, the esophagus, and the jugular vein, and letting the blood drain out while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest. Many people refuse to eat it on religious grounds.
Others object because of the cruelty to animals that halal slaughter necessitates.
Still others refuse to do so on principle: why should we be forced to conform to Islamic norms? It’s Islamic supremacism on the march, yet again.
Non-Muslims in America and Europe don’t deserve to have halal turkey forced upon them in this way, without their knowledge or consent.
The same Islamic law that mandates that animals be cruelly slaughtered according to halal requirements also teaches hatred of and warfare against unbelievers, the oppression of women, the extinguishing of free speech, and much more that is inimical to our freedom. Don’t support it on this celebration of freedom. Join our Facebook group, ‘Boycott Butterball’.
Don’t buy a Butterball turkey for Thanksgiving.

To: Mount AthosToo late. Can I make up for it by passing gas in the direction of Mecca?
To: Mount AthosGee, great idea to demand a Butterball Boycott when most people have already bought their birds. That’s like the TV News showing the wild drinking, drugs and sex binges of Spring break 2 weeks after break has taken place. Boycotts seldom work. And most people won’t care much of a drat where the throat was cut, just as long as the bird isn’t still flapping when being stuffed into the oven.

To: Mount AthosIf you don’t believe in Allah, what difference does it make? Buy Butterball and don’t give away your power. By boycotting you admit it makes a difference.
To: Mount AthosGood grief! Why shouldn’t companies provide food that ethnic customers are willing to purchase? Makes for increased sales and a better bottom line. Why punish a company simply because you don’t like the customer base to which it’s trying to expand?
To: SuziQThis I don’t like.while saying “Bismillah allahu akbar” — in the name of Allah the greatest.
This makes me lose my appetite.
.
To: DManAIt has been an ancient custom to pray for the animal that’s been sacrificed for your meal. This is not at all peculiar to Moslems. Christian Arabs would traditionally use terminology very similar to that.So, prayer makes you lose your appetite, or Arabic, or the self-identity of the guy making the prayer?
.
To: DManAIsn’t that the same Mohammedan chant used when they behead Infidels?
To: Mount AthosAnother tidbit on Halal.All and I repeat all of Costco’s lamb is now halal and their Coleman organic chicken.So since we loved the lamb and the organic chicken this is our last year with Costco. We are looking into Sam’s or BJ’s.
It’s too late. You ate the Satanic lamb chops and your family is going to Hell, you baaa-aaaad man.
Most people just think that Halal is like Kosher. It is not. Kosher slaughter is just a way of processing so all of the blood gets out of the meat. Halal is actually a sacrifice. They point that lamb/turkey in the direction of the Black Rock of Mecca and sacrifice it to Allah. We are all Muslims now.

To: Ruy Dias de BivarI absolutely agree with you.
Now that I know what they do with this meat I have a moral choice to make.
Wow. These folks are clowns, and they’re getting crazier by the day.
They can see that their politicians are frauds, but they cannot understand that it’s their worldview that’s fraudulent, based soley on lies, bigotry, spite, resentment, hatred and ignorance… and more ignorance.
God love the little idiots, they’ll never understand that they’re the ones who keep shooting themselves in the foot over and over. They never seem to realize that they’re not the majority — they’re a micro-minority of nutcases.
Nice little omnibus this week.
I’ve been over at Lucianne’s site, reading the reax to Herman Cain’s lawyer’s non-denial about a 13-year affair. Fun fun fun!
On my FaceBook profile (available on request):
“I see Herman Cain is saying he will be accused of an extramarital affair. Is this a ploy to catch up with Gingrich?”
That was adorable!
Thank you yet again for wading into the swamp that is FR!
