Extreme tree hugging
I thought you could use a little lunchtime entertainment. I had to watch this video a few times to make sure that these people were for real. I mean…..I love trees and flowers and plants and all things nature but this is over the top. I hate to make fun of people but this is a little crazy. I kept expecting the little men in white coats to show up.
Just a little something to brighten your day.
Happy Wednesday!

Glenn Beck out at Fox. I got this before Drudge report.

The link doesn’t work, but here is the AP release:
(New York, NY) Fox News and Mercury Radio Arts, Glenn Beck’s production company, are proud to announce that they will work together to develop and produce a variety of television projects for air on the Fox News Channel as well as content for other platforms including Fox News’ digital properties. Glenn intends to transition off of his daily program, the third highest rated in all of cable news, later this year.
Roger Ailes, Charman and CEO of Fox News said, “Glenn Beck is a powerful communicator, a creative entrepreneur and a true success by anybody’s standards. I look forward to continuing to work with him.”
Glenn Beck said: “I truly believe that America owes a lot to Roger Ailes and Fox News. I cannot repay Roger for the lessons I’ve learned and will continue to learn from him and I look foward to starting this new phase of our partnership.”

They posted on the Blaze page then took it down, I was able to grab the screen before they removed it. Glenn Beck is the one who taught me to always grab a screen before I read it.
Can you e-mail the image of the story to me at jason@thebjork.com? I run a 9.12 group and will help to get the story out.
Thanks!
How do I show a grabbed screen?
This video was disturbing the first and only time I saw it. I won’t play it again. I think this woman is a basket case. But, she is truly entitled to her opinion and reaction.
Do you get the feeling that they have been hanging around their 60′s college professors too long?
I get the feeling they are growing something back in the trees, mary jane and ‘roons come to mind..
That’s got to be parody.
I don’t think it’s a parody. It is another reason I come to check out Hillbuzz every day. Always something interesting or funny or infuriating or touching.
I’m sure these ding dongs are a real party to be around. When I meet such fools I usually ask why their feet are not wrapped in ferns that died of old age instead of EVIL pleather. Also…Golly! What do these bird brains eat? Oh, the humanity to murder a vibrant, full of life grape!
That ugly young screaming Mimi…wow…I bet her dance card is full! Not!
Can you imagine being this lost and deceived in life as these folks? It’s sad.
Romans 1 talks about people like this:
For although they (humankind) knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened. Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.
…
They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.
***
People need something to worship. It’s God they are seeking for. But because they reject the God of the Bible, all that is left is to worship nature itself.
If you don’t go within, you go without.
Exactly the comment I was going to post. A perfect example of “worshipping creation instead of the creator” for sure.
We are made to worship. Everyone worships something, without exception. Something is “ultimate” for you, even if you claim to not be religious.
Gosh…it just gives me chills up the back of my spine to think people are seriously this dense. I mean…I know we’re supposed to adhere to the “to each his own” thing…but GOOD GOLLY this is just spooky.
Sorry, I did not mean to change the above subject, but I was excited about Beck.
What is disturbing to me about this video is that these people are most likely Obama supporters.
I think those folks are beyond o-bots. They probably do write-in votes for some imaginary forest fairy.
They need to have someone there who can hand out handkerchiefs……
In the meantime, Earth First wiped out 7 endangered species when they flopped their poncho laden bodies down to mourn the over-sized Bartlett Pear tree they discovered had been hugged to death on their previous visit.
I think these peeps smoked some of their plant friends before crying over others…
sorry they are just plain odd
Looks like mass hysteria to me. And what’s with the drum beating???
I noticed the drumb. Methinks it’s made of animal skin. Dopey hypocrites, all of them.
Don’t you get the feeling that these folks are embarassing the trees?
Yes! I am sure they caused much more pain to the trees with all the bellowing and screeching.
I wonder how many are pro-choice?
What an excellent question! How many of these boobs have had abortions or think it just jolly for women to have that “right”? It boggles the mind to try to figure these people out. Hopefully they will gain some wisdom as they mature….but some of them look pretty old already. You would think living 5 or 6 decades would impart some wisdom…Guess not always.
I love all your comments! I’ve been laughing all afternoon…..and it feels GOOD to laugh.
i hate you bridget for making me watch this, but, i love you for introducing us to ann barnhardt.
goddam filthy hippies.
I’m evil sometimes
After 9/11, I remembered hearing one talk radio host said that he’s so filled with grieving that he cannot tolerate another grief filled event. Take the people who worship and mourn the loss of this tree. I mean, c’mon, how many trees and plants are going to die today? Are you going to make room to grieve for them as well? If you truly do that, you certainly have no time for things such as a “real life.” My advice for them is to save their grieving for things that are really precious. But, then again, they will respond that there is probably nothing more precious than these trees! And I would probably be placed in shock over that response!!
Ummm… I seem to remember Earth Firsters as those folks who buried spikes in trees in the hopes of maiming or killing loggers.
Can you imagine how they’d react if they watched someone making a chopped salad? Sheesh.
Your comment made me laugh!
dittos!
If they didn’t want anyone making fun of them, they shouldn’t have had someone with a video camera recording their lunacy.
They probably all come from affluent families and are doing this to protest their materialistic parents.
These people are lunatics. Where do think all the things we use, the houses we live in, come from? Do they not know that trees are a renewable resource? I’ve cut down a bunch of trees in my yard because they were dead or dying, and planted new ones in their place.
How do these people feel about ethanol? Are they okay with all that corn being murdered?
In Germany there was a sect (long before the Christians came) who worshipped trees as if they were gods.
If you do not know the story of the origin of the Christmas tree then you need to do some research.
My understanding is that the Christians had to get these people to chop down the trees to show that they were not gods.
On a related note, here’s the Arrogant Worms’ “Carrot Juice Is Murder.”
