Has anyone tried contacting Stewert or Colbert about this yet?

About HR669 that is. I remember reading somewhere that the majority of Americans get their news from sources such as these two. Honestly they probably report the news more accurately than any "real" news station. I can just see Colbert asking an animal rights activist how he should protect himself against his hamster.

I'm not sure, the talk radio thread might know though.

I hate the use of 'animal rights activist'. I'm one, but it's far different then the typical stereotype that people give it.
Most people generally don't agree with the abuse of animals. :gj:

I'm sorry, in the future I'll try to be specific. FWIW, when I say "animal rights activist" I'm thinking PETA, Green Peace or some other equally loony organization.

Ahaha, Touche.

Who's to say that Colbert or Stewart would be on our side?

If they say something about snake owners releasing pythons and boas in the Everglades, it would probably be perceived as a reason to pass the bill, by their viewers.

yeaaaa, I couldn't ever see them taking the issue serious, or avoiding lampooning our side, and gaining us some really negative responses. You know how they like to exaggerate, and how few people actually get that. lol.

if this passes im going to petition getting cars outlawed.. think of the few ppl that do drive by's... just because a few ppl abuse it... im going to say nobody can have them.. lmao.. just joking of course but think about it.. they are doing the same thing to us

My thoughts as well... Could see it now "Sure we should let people own exotic snakes..." and then the clip of one of the obscure Sci-Fi channel snake movies or giant komodo dragons etc.

I think Jon Stewart even lampooned a snake story once...

john stewart has made comments on his show that florida is to blame for the "reptile invasion" and made jokes about it that are not in our favor. i would leave them out of this.....they will not help!

Here's the clip in question....

I remember an episode recently where one of the correspondents was holding a boa but I couldn't find the clip.

This clip though from Colbert at threat #2 he says crazy animal rights activists:

i posted a while back about jon stewart making peta and them look like idiots and basically saying their retarded for thinking the snakes could expand from the everglades to the west coast like they wwere saying on fox, and that was the clip with asif mandi holding a python. Id think theyd be on our side.

This one is classic, it's the Rep who brought this stupid bill, towards the end they talk about tree snakes...sort of. She clearly is clueless though.

I wish we could show him the article disproving the 1/3 US burm invasion... But sadly even if he saw it he's not likely to say it on his show... Not "sensational" enough...
