[YouTube link](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URVHFraEZGI&eurl=http://www.ivyleagueconservatives.com/2008/08/crazy-idiot/) No debate here, not really a pitting, though I put it here in case anyone wants to attack me for pointing out someone on the lunatic side of rabid environmentalism, in fact I don’t even expect anyone to disagree with the proposition that this woman is a loony. I just found the whole video funny. OOOOH! Corporations and THE GOVERNMENT are raping our planet for energy, here’s the proof: a rainbow! Bugs Bunny said it best: “Whatta maroon”. ---

> [@](#): > > “The visible spectrum… is **rainbows**.” Really? Thank you crazy lady- I thought I could only see puce goldenrod. Now I know that my ability to see colors is due to the evil metallic salt that seems to be everywhere. But, unlike this lady, I know it is not the government. We all know what is happening. We’ve known it’s been happening for years- twenty years ago and now today. The leprechauns. They’ve been putting gold into the air _and_ water. Has no one ever wondered why rainbows start in water and are circles? They are trying to kill us with colors. Some might now associate a rainbow with the homosexuals, but that is just another ploy of the leprechauns. Not only are they trying to kill us, they are slowly trying to depopulate us by turning normal breeders into abominations. Why do you think that they are called “fairies”? That’s right- they are all evil leprechaun spies. Ahahah. I’m having too much fun with this. That quote might be my favorite thing, ever. New signature! ---

This was a lot funnier before I saw her other videos. Now it’s mostly just sad. She’s clearly got severe mental problems, the poor woman. ---

If you think the crazy rainbow lady is reflective of the environmental movement in general, then you are as out of touch with reality as she is. ---

Maybe not reflective in general but there are plenty of loonies on the environmental side. Just as there are plenty of crazies on the right. ---

She’s got nothing to do with environmentalism, one way or the other. She’s not an environmentalist, she’s just ignorant / mistaken / wrong / stupid / crazy (Check all that apply). If I say that everyone should own a gun because deer are planning to kill us while we sleep (I’ve seen them watching me from the woods, on the edges of my lawn at dusk, making their plans!) I think that would make me a stupid crazy person, not a gun-rights advocate. ---

It’s in the thread title (“This one’s yours, environmentalists!”) and he says she’s on the “lunatic side of environmentalism.” That’s bullshit on both counts. She’s not part of enviromentalism at all. She’s just an insane person. Environmentalism is a complete non-sequitur with regard to this woman. The OP did so try to connect this woman to environmentalism. As **The weird One** says, it’s exactly like claiming that a loony arming himself against aliens is “part of the gun movement,” or saying “this one is yours, gun rights advocates.” > [@](#): > > Do you not think she is someone on the lunatic side of rabid environmentalism?
