RFK Jr.: Hog Farmers More Dangerous than Osama Bin Laden

Finding this video and accompanying story in The Washington Times, I knew I had to show it to others WITH the video. Otherwise almost NOBODY would believe it.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Wednesday said he thinks hog farmers are a greater threat to Americans than Osama bin Laden.

Mr. Kennedy, son of the the slain New York Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, is an environmental law attorney who was testifying before a House Judiciary subcomittee when Rep. Steve King, Iowa Republican, asked him if a quotation attributed to him in 2002 about hog farmers representing a greater threat than the leader of al Qaeda was accurate.

"I don't know if that [quotation] is accurate, but I believe it and I support it," said Mr. Kennedy, who has been involved in a vigorous legal effort against the meat industry for some years, arguing that manure and other products associated with large livestock producers emit toxic wastes that threaten the environment.




No wonder President Obama wants to cut the Defense budget by 10% and Democrats cheer.

All I have to say is, "Please, pass the barbecued pork. This made me hungry!"

Read the rest of the Washington Times piece and see the video there.
