PETA is such a huge joke!! To say that they're "pleased with his record ... on animal rights" and then to turn around and make such a big deal out of a FLY? Totally ridiculous. They just want to get free press on it coz you'd see the same thing if they saw a fly land on them.

Two points here, both related to the fact that you had to search for this story. #1, another proof that the media is left wing, protecting their own fringe groups by hiding the stories that really make the fringe groups look dumb. #2, PETA is a fringe group of NUTS! Who gives a crap what they think?

These are the same people who would kill a 8 month old fetus (baby) in the womb, but would fight for the protection of a fly. There is no group that is more backwards...

To paraphase Jesus...if Beelzebub is killing flies...his house will not stand. In ignorance of scripture you have to those that know it . Proved that he is a better human being than you.

I am no fan of Obama or PETA, but in this case, PETA needs to shut the **** up.

Interesting! Today's paper said that fly was not the only one around but there was an unexplainable large number of flies in the White House. Anyone ever hear of Beelzebub, the Lord of the Flies? You won't hear that on NBC, either.

IT SEEMS THAT THE RACE HATERS ARE AT IT AGAIN. BUSH WAS THE WORST PREXY IN MODERN HISTORY. HE AND HIS CRONNIES CAUSED ALL OF THE MESS FOR THIS GOV'T. THE HATERS SHOULD BE TRYING TO HELP PREXY O , BUT THEY WILL NEED A MORE POSITIVE ATTIUDE. PETER SHOULD SLOW LEEP OFF OF A HIGH MOUNTAIN.
