An animal-rights activist dressed as Jesus was arrested during a protest at a church pig roast in Chester County on Saturday, police said.
Four demonstrators with People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) traveled from Norfolk, Va., to the Hibernia United Methodist Church County Fair and Pig Roast near Coatesville.
"Blessed are the merciful! Go vegetarian!" Caleb Wheeldon announced to those at the fair when he arrived.
Wheeldon, who said he was dressed as Jesus "to make sure that his words are taken as gospel," was arrested about an hour later for trespassing and disorderly conduct after walking onto church property.
PETA's director of vegan outreach had written a letter to the pastor before the pig roast protesting the event and asking him to replace the pork with a vegetarian dish.
"God designed pigs to play with one another, root around in the soil, forage for food, and enjoy God's glory," Bruce G. Friedrich to the Rev. David McMillan, pastor of Hibernia UMC.
Friedrich said the organization became involved after a receiving a complaint about the pig roast from a member of the church.
McMillan didn't respond to the letter and declined to comment regarding the protest.
McMillan listened to the protesters for a few minutes Saturday, however, and offered to meet with them today - an offer which the protesters refused.
West Brandywine Police Chief Walt Werner said a talk- radio program had encouraged residents to counter-protest PETA, so a strong police presence was deployed to the roast.
I double-dog dare any PETA turd to come mess with a pig-pickin' in this area.
If you want on or off this list, please let me know!
This has come about after much badgering by you, my friends and extended family...
Yep, that's why He made their roasted flesh so tasty...
"God designed pigs to play with one another, root around in the soil, forage for food, and enjoy God's glory," (PETA Idiot) Bruce G. Friedrich (wrote) to the Rev. David McMillan, pastor of Hibernia UMC.
Seems to me, if this this is indeed God's word, than it would be in the Bible. All I found on the subject is this:
Genesis 1:26 - Then God said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth."
I wonder if the PETA clown has a reference?
Wow! Four of them! A virtual army of animal lovers! With all the yapping they did about obstructing the BBQ and turning over tables, they got FOUR whole protesters to show up.
I think that's the funniest part of the whole article.
IMHO, a vegan messiah makes for a dull thread.
PETA is much more interesting when the vegan bimbos get naked.
Jeff Katz, Philly WPHT-1210, was talking about this Monday.
Heh. <|:)~
OK, I concede the point, no more vegan Messiah talk, naked vegan bimbos IS a lot more interesting!
I saw a bit on O'Reilly not long ago where he interviewed some absolutely darling little airhead, a Playboy Playmate I believe, who was a spokes-bimbo for PETA.
O'Reilly seemed to frustrate this young woman because he didn't react to her like a 25-year old male might have. He didn't disolve into a drooling adolescent and just agree with everything she said, just 'cuz she was so cute.
Ths confused her, obviously. He wanted actual intellectual justification for the positions she was taking, and all she knew how to do was be "really cute".
Then he set her up beautifully and spiked her. It was something like this:
O'REILLY: "So what, exactly is your point?"
PETABIMBO: "Don't eat meat!"
O'REILLY: "Why not... will you date me?"
Checkmate. She was speechless.
Good gravy, O'Reilly sure went out on a limb with that one.
What would he have done had she said "yes"???
Some of the naked PETA bimbettes may be easy to gawk at...
But I'd never put myself at risk for having to socialize or (GASP!!!) breed with one.
Hmmmmm... maybe O'Reilly was on a very desperate troll... ????

I think the point Bill O'Reilly was trying to make was very subtle... Something like "Sure, youre cute. So what? Why should I listen to you, are you going "date" [implied "sleep with"] me?"
Funny how these leftwingers are more than willing to use naked sexy women to promote their own causes, considering the way they'd scream about such displays if anybody else did them. Hypocritical too.
I mean, we're supposed to give up meat because this little Barbie doll imitation would like it? I think O'Reilly subtly delivered the message "look honey, if you're going to use sex to promote your pet cause, then have sex with me. Otherwise find some other chump to bore with your silliness, your qualifications on this subject seem to be limited to your body rather than your brain."
God intended for them to be prey as well. It dosen't take a rocket engeneer figure that any thing that slow and that fat is to be taken advantage of.
