Guardian Moonbat: Steve Irwin Had It Coming
Greg Gutfeld's outrageous HuffPo post blaming Steve Irwin's death on President Bush and global warming was a parody, but the Guardian's Germaine Greer is apparently on the level as she denounces Irwin's career and squawks that the "animal world has finally taken its revenge."
While everyone else mourns the tragic lost, Greer clambers on top of Irwin's tombstone to shout:
What Irwin never seemed to understand was that animals need space. The one lesson any conservationist must labour to drive home is that habitat loss is the principal cause of species loss. There was no habitat, no matter how fragile or finely balanced, that Irwin hesitated to barge into, trumpeting his wonder and amazement to the skies. There was not an animal he was not prepared to manhandle. Every creature he brandished at the camera was in distress. Every snake badgered by Irwin was at a huge disadvantage, with only a single possible reaction to its terrifying situation, which was to strike.
It takes a bitter heart not to acknowledge the great good Irwin did for wild animals by giving them so much favorable publicity. If anyone gives a hoot what happens to some endangered poisonous snake in a remote part of the world, it's not due to the screechings or terrorist acts of pious animal rights activists, but because guys like Irwin encourage normal people to like animals. Being a progressive, Greer manages to twist this into something bad:
The animal world has finally taken its revenge on Irwin, but probably not before a whole generation of kids in shorts seven sizes too small has learned to shout in the ears of animals with hearing 10 times more acute than theirs, determined to become millionaire animal-loving zoo-owners in their turn.
The heart of her animosity toward the beloved naturalist is revealed near the end of Greer's nasty diatribe:
Howard is now Irwin's chief mourner, which is only fair, seeing that Irwin announced that Howard is the greatest leader the world has ever seen.
Getting stung to death by a sting-ray is apparently too good for someone with nice things to say about Australia's conservative Prime Minister John Howard.
On a tip from V the K.

Hey now... She's just trying to "open a dialogue" or "raise awareness"

Obviously his singular ability to raise awareness of geniune environmental issues (as opposed to the sham "issues" designed to make us guilty and repentent to our environmentalist "masters") has passed this woman by. Ah well, Ms Greer was never particularly bright...

(Thanks for the tip, here's another:) Mother of all Moonbats Fantasizes About Killing Bush in Her New Book
Cindy Sheehan, the pudgy gift that keeps on giving. She apparently fantasized about murdering him when he was still a child. She and Deb Frisch have SO MUCH to talk about.

No sooner did I joke about it, than the moonbats already came up with the same conspiracy. These nuts are as predictable as clockwork.

Well she gives some good advice (hold on), only I would want her to volunteer herself for the solution.
Anyone who believes her drivel and agrees with it, should line up for the solution: Mass Moonbat Suicide.

Wow--What a breath of fresh air that would be.

Germaine's right... animals (like her) need space ..... deep space

She's a fembot with no brains. If she ever would learn to shut up, that would be the smartest thing she ever did since everytime she opens her mouth everyone finds out how stupid she is.

Steve Irwin was a nobody who became famous by getting offed by a stingray. Jeez, what a bunch of losers. Do you really think Irwin did anything for animals (except himself? Just another stupid self-publicist who bit off more than he could chew. I've no time for Greer either but she's worth tewnty of Irwin.

Steve Irwin in my eyes was a man of "Great COURAGE" and not a wimp. His devotion for animals and their welfare had to be admired. Whilst you are writing these nasty comments about him, think of his two poor children, every child has the right to admire their father and I think it is so sad to read these nasty comments about him. One wonders if these people would put themselves in a position where they were trying to dave a crocodile from being killed and having their skins ripped of, i doubt it. I personally think he took risks, "great risks" but at least he devoted his time to good things and not bad.
