Nutjob holding hostages at Discovery Channel HQ in Maryland

[Hoss]

Yep, environmentalist who on his webpage calls humans 'filth' and calls on the Discovery Channel to "stop encouraging the birth of any more parasitic human infants"

Wasn't sure where else to put this, so I put it in Entertainment, since that's what the D-Channel is.

I don't think "environmentalist" really captures this guy's point of view. His manifesto is pretty outlandish.

[Gaspar]

Paul?  That you?

"He demands that the Discovery Channel broadcast daily prime-time shows devoted to "solutions to save the planet," perhaps in a game-show format, insisting "Make it interesting so people watch and apply solutions!!!!"

Definitely a Tea bagger

Was he riding a bike and dressed as Mary Poppins?

Here's his little manifesto

I think perhaps if FOTD had not been banned he may not have ventured off the deep end.
This is our fault.

[Conan71]

He could have saved us all a lot of trouble and himself some effort by simply offing himself.

His little tirade on illegal immigrants and anchor babies will get him labeled a right wing nut job even though he's an off-the hinges greenie.

He's confused, bitterly clinging to guns and trees.

Awesome! Good catch!

Huge collective groan at MSNBC. . .

Lee said he experienced an ''awakening" when he watched former Vice President Al Gore's environmental documentary ''An Inconvenient Truth."

[Gaspar]

That movie did the exact opposite to me.  I experienced a "sleeping" shortly after the scene with the arctic penguins.

His environmental concerns are confirmed.  He has died from toxic lead exposure.
They should really ban those lead bullets.

[Gaspar]

So we can watch MythBusters tonight instead of My Ishmael?


Ok, I'll stop.
