    Can someone explain to me why there is so much hatred against "tree-hugging environmentalists"? What is it about environmentalism that threatens people? Because to me, hating environmentalists is like hating people who want to protect nature.

    Is it that all environmentalists are being blamed for groups like Greenpeace or PETA who use some more extreme methods? Or is it the very idea of protecting wildlife that is so appalling to some? I honestly don't get it, but it's probably because I am a crazy Californian tree-hugging environmentalist. I even hike with the Sierra Club, which, holy shit, wants to protect our national parks and waters.

    it's page 3 of the right wing play book ... use any combination of the following words and you are sure to put the fear into your "real american"

    enviornmentalist; hippie; socialist; treehugger; commy
