    I don't care if Hitler was a vegetarian or not

    There is plenty of evidence on the web that he WAS a vegetarian.

    There is only one reason to not eat meat: one doesn't like the taste of it. All the other reasons are plain and simple bullshit. Please keep your religion to yourself.

    And since when did meat eater = right winger?

    What a load of bollocks.

    You pussy-ass vegetarians have ruined liberalism and the Democratic Party with your bullshit.

    I think I'll have a big juicy lambchop for dinner.

    One last thought: you know that vegetables have feelings and can scream, too, don't you? How can you possibly justify vegetable murder? You savage vegetarian murderers!!!
