A couple of weeks ago he cut off a female who told him that she’s liberal but listens to him. She went on to say that she had never heard him talk to a liberal caller. He denied it. And then told her she would have to call back the next day.

Too funny, Mike Malloy played the audio clip, I don’t think the ‘pigman’ took being called “You’re A Brainwashed Nazi” to well.

I knew sooner or later there would be an attack on organic foods because they are not full of the chemicals needed to fulfill the eugenics vision of depopulation, sickness and disease. Anything good for people will be illegal, period.

I have actually read the bill, and, guess what, it doesn’t say what these right wing nuts say it says. Does that surprise anyone?

I’m a huge proponent of reversing the flow of misinformation.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/business/organic.asp

“if Congress passes any of these bills, the FDA will have to develop rules and regulations to implement the law, a process that we can’t afford to ignore.

But simply shooting down any attempt to fix our broken food safety system is not an approach that works for consumers, who are faced with a food supply that is putting them at risk and regulators who lack the authority to do much about it.”

good idea, slow foods are people I trust to evaluate the bill

You guys probably know this already, but this is a *wonderful* site for researching bills like HR 875 or “organic”.

It helps you relax when you realize there are 50 current bills regarding the word “organic”
______

875 doesn’t seem to say anything about “organic” at all… but the claim is the threat is “buried” in the bill.

Michael Moore will be all over this if it is real.

the White House garden IS organic:

“While the organic garden will provide food for the first family’s meals and formal dinners, its most important role, Mrs. Obama said, will be to educate children about healthful, locally grown fruit and vegetables at a time when obesity and diabetes have become a national concern.”

Geo can you tell me if it is true that Obama wants to ban organic farms

Betsy – I’m not Geo, but I believe the uproar is regarding HR 875, a bill kicking around in Congress. I have friends here in the Bay Area getting those same emails your daughter in SF is getting.

Here’s a link to a relevant blog with their emphasis on taking a deep breath, but paying attention.

http://www.slowfoodusa.org/index.php/slow_food/blog_post/hr_875/

looks like a hit job from “Prison Planet”

http://www.prisonplanet.com/bill-to-ban-organic-farming.html

there is some kind of house bill H.R. 875, I would read it here without the “it’s Obama’s idea” crap.

Debbie WASSERMAN SCHULTZ, is one of the sponsors of the bill.

under “rural issues”

—Encourage Organic and Local Agriculture: Obama and Biden will help organic farmers afford to certify their crops and reform crop insurance to not penalize organic farmers. He also will promote regional food systems.
