Dear Georgia:

Your right to shoot, eat & enjoy squirrel does not remove my right to go "Ewwww."

That is all.

Love, Mad

Um, Georgia? You can have my serving of squirrel. Enjoy!

A greenlight? For this?



Really?

Squirrel is om nom nom nom baked on its back with its chest cavity packed full of sausage stuffing.

Nothing wrong with a little squirrel. It tastes (unsurprisingly) sweet and nutty.

 
ThrnPhl [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 11:15:10 AM  
I've never had squirrel before, but fluffy bunnies are mmmm mmmm tasty.

Why did this guy write this letter? Did someone at the Globe or another person who wrote to the editor disparage Huckabee for eating squirrel? How very odd.

I've never had squirrel. They don't look like they would have a lot of meat on them. And I don't care if Huckabee eats squirrel. I can that he is a right-wing nut job who doesn't even believe in evolution.

Us Georgians don't need any reason to write letters to yankee propaganda firms extolling the manliness of our diet and our willingness to shoot socialists. I'm currently drafting a letter to the Wall Street Journal about the time I wrassled a crocodile and then made it kill a wild hog for me. Then I ate them both and dug up Marx and stabbed him a few times.

A country boy ca survive yeeeehaw

But seriously I have seen a some news reports looking down on Huckabee's eating of the squirrels.

 
plmyfngr 2008-02-16 11:25:02 AM  
I have never understood why people will happily eat one animal and not another.....(all y'all vegetarians can blow me...)

 
Psychotropic 2008-02-16 11:31:49 AM  
I eat squirrel.

And opossum
And woodchuck
And rabbit
And raccoon
And muskrat

If I lived in a part of the country with other small woodland varmints, I'd eat them too.

I eat lots of other wild birds and animals too.

I still wouldn't vote for Huckabee on account of him being a religious nutcase.

TFA MIKE HUCKABEE, in my opinion an honorable man, has been ridiculed for eating fried squirrel while in college.

This guy probably thinks that Obama is a Muslim terrorist

But his name is Hussein. Doesn't that prove it?

 
Unright 2008-02-16 11:39:27 AM  
Why can't Georgians simply NOT CARE about what others think of their dietary habits?

Seriously. Nobody is trying to ban squirrel-eating, so just shrug it off.

 
Generation_D [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 11:46:33 AM  
Because! There's a whole Southern / Religious / Republican mind-set that says basically we're victims and you oppress us so we come out shooting and Fark Yall.

Its one part messed up history, 2 parts dumbassery, 3 parts "We Hate Teh Libruls" and is all about seeing everyone else's faults as more important than their own.

Oh, crap. I guess you're right. Now I can vote for Ron Paul with a clearer conscience

I guess you're right. For a group that always brags about how they hate political correctness and the victim-mentality, they sure play the "we're oppessed!" card a lot.

I come from a part of the country where squirrel was common fare to the family of a hard-working coal miner. I now live in a part of the country where many people still eat squirrel. Some of us also eat rabbit, venison, frog legs, gator tail, catfish, and even a bite or two of rattlesnake every once in a while.

My dad told me that he often ate squirrel as a lad - back when you shot and ate whatever you could, or you didn't eat at all.

Then the Depression was over and he stopped eating squirrel - like a sensible man.

 
GaryPDX [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 12:18:32 PM

If you've never tried it, you know not what you speak...lol.

Squirrel is a fine meal...arrrrr. Dog too. Cat is kinda stringy.

 
Fluff Girl [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 12:21:34 PM  
But does he eat beavers? They are more abundant, and you can use a smaller gun.

 
HotWingConspiracy [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 12:24:27 PM  
At least we have water.

 
BilltheThrill 2008-02-16 12:27:02 PM  
I was really expecting this guy to sign his letter with an X.

 
luckybastard 2008-02-16 12:28:15 PM  
That read like an Onion article. The guy's juxtaposing eating squirrel with being a real American. Something tells me he's a bit unhinged...

Individual firearm ownership and the consumption of vermin is certainly what made America a desirable location for investment, and the international powerhouse it is today.

 
Phil Moskowitz 2008-02-16 12:44:06 PM  
America needs a map that indicates what parts of the country are living in what decade.

 
Born to Die 2008-02-16 12:47:00 PM  
I just read that letter before logging into FARK, and here it is again! While I have no doubt as to the writer's conservative and occasional squirrel-consuming credentials, it is obvious that he's writing with tongue firmly in cheek.

He'd be a good Farker (if he's not already)

and carp

These are the same people who think eating sushi is abominable.

According to Oregon trail, you could shoot 20 squirrels a day, and your five person party would still be starving.

 
KrispyKringle 2008-02-16 01:07:03 PM  
FTFA: There was a time when squirrel was a mainstay in the diets of the Founders, who, at great risk of life and fortune, defended the principles upon which our nation was established.

They also wore powdered wigs and wooden dentures. What's your point?

 
Saborlas [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 01:11:46 PM  
Dear Charlie,

I don't give a flying fark about your opinion about Chuckleberry, as you clearly didn't educate yourself beforehand.

Smoking dope is fun and cramming a bunch of people into a phone booth is a great way to make friends. "Whose hand is that?" "Depends. Whose ass is that?" Good times. But you've been brainwashed by idiots into thinking that these activities are Satanic, so your opinion on them can be dismissed as well.

I come from a part of the country where AMERICA BEGAN. Don't you talk to me about the Founding Fathers. You'd hate most of them if you knew them personally. They were quite liberal.

As for your culinary habits, frog legs were first popular in France. Feel free to stop reading until the cognitive dissonance goes away, as I know you probably hate the French with a passion despite them not doing a damn thing to you. As a matter of fact, if it weren't for the French, you'd be singing "God Save The Queen" at your armoured wankball games.

We needed you and your guns when an usurper seized office despite a VERY questionable election. What were you doing? Oh, you supported him because he lied and said we wanted to take your guns away (we never made any such claim). We needed you and your guns when he got into office again despite an even SHADIER election. At that point, you had proof that he was the inferior candidate and you STILL supported him.

So, no. We can't count on you and your guns. America's internal enemies have eroded our freedoms, and you sat on your ass. You had your chance to use your guns to defend the principles upon which this country was founded. Instead, you let a miserable failure and his team of thieves rob the country blind, fail to do a damn thing to prevent catastrophic loss of human life (and not just once, either!), destroy the Fourth Amendment with illegal spying on American citizens, tamper with federal elections (which is treason in of itself), use "signing statements" to declare an intent to break whatever laws they choose, and numerous other crimes I shan't mention because I'm trying to keep my blood pressure at a healthy level.

After you're done eating that squirrel, you can choke on my boner. And no, you can't coat it with peanut butter and pickle juice first.

 
Lord_Baull 2008-02-16 01:16:20 PM  
This is why the Founding Fathers added the squirrel clause to the 2nd Amendment. You damn liberal hippies want to take away our guns!

Or at least, that's the best I could understand from the article.

In New England they used to shoot and eat passenger pigeons. When they et 'em all up, they started in on the squirrels, but the squirrels could see what was happening and lit out for Georgia. That's when the New Englanders went all liberal.

You're next, Georgia.

 
BrokenToilet 2008-02-16 01:21:06 PM  
Dear Georgia,

Don't be so quick to judge. Some of us in New England do own guns and eat squirrel.

Sincerely,
The State of Maine

Squirrals are OK, if you have enough of them. But mountain oysters are real good eatin' and more filling too.

 
Nameless_One 2008-02-16 01:23:56 PM  
I fail to see where Georgia is mentioned in this article. Hukabee lived in Arkansas with another squirrel chomper named Billy Clinton.

/love Georgia

Three Crooked Squirrels [TotalFark] 2008-02-16 02:29:09 PM  
When Huckabee said he used to eat squirrels in college that he cooked in his popcorn popper, I was under the impression people were more amused by the fact that he cooked them in his popcorn popper, rather than the fact that he was eating squirrel. At least that is the part that I thought was weird.

After spending the first 18 years of my life in CT things like this along with living in FL for 12 years make me ask one thing...why did we just let the south go??
