Carrie Underwood: Terrorist?

Posted by Colleen Kane

 

The wack-job organization The Center for Consumer Freedom is accusing Carrie Underwood of supporting animal-rights terrorists. And why? Because she's donating some proceeds from her new single -- a cover of Motley Crue's "Home Sweet Home" -- to that controversial organization known as... The Humane Society of the United States.

Carrie Underwood may think she is supporting puppies and kittens, but she needs to understand that she is supporting domestic terrorists instead," wrote a columnist on the conservative site MichNews.com, referring in the first part of the statement to the understandable confusion of HSUS (which does animal advocacy, outreach, education about puppy mills, etc.) and the regular old Humane Society (known for pet adoptions). 

So what's this supposed connection between the HSUS and terror? In a nutshell, activists in a different organization were convicted of using terrorist tactics, and some of those activists have apparently been in the same room as a representative from the HSUS. Check out this full-page ad that ran in the New York Times last December, where the organization attempted to explain with a flow chart how, exactly, the HSUS is a terrorist organization.
