The thought of this guy any voice in public law and policy makes me shudder....
It's a deep deep metaphor for how much of the pollution and release of AGW gases that we blame China for is really our responsibility since the products of polluting industries are made for our consumers. I applaud Hershel.
Apparently some people think differently though.
She says about herself:

Survivor of Terrorism. @ACTforAmerica Founder & Chairman. NYT Best-Selling Author. National Security Expert.
Prominent enough to have a Wiki page:
Brigitte Gabriel
Brigitte Gabriel (Arabic: بريجيت غابرييل; born
Hanan Qahwaji, 21 October 1964) is a Lebanese-American conservative author, anti-Islam activist, and founder of the anti-Muslim group ACT! for America.
If her awful backstory is true I can understand her anger, but it's a shame that it turned her into a Hershel fangirl and a hater:
ACT! for America
Her organization, ACT! for America, has been described as anti-Muslim or anti-Islamic. According to The New York Times, ACT! for America draws "on three rather religious and partisan streams in American politics: evangelical Christian conservatives, hard-line defenders of Israel (both Jews and Christians) and Tea Party Republicans". According to The Washington Post, the organization "touted as its "first accomplishment" its 2008 campaign to shut down a Minnesota Islamic school."
Viewpoints
The Southern Poverty Law Center described ACT! for America as "the largest grassroots anti-Muslim group in the country," and the Council on American-Islamic Relations has described it as "one of the main sources of growing anti-Muslim bigotry in our nation". According to The Guardian, the organization has been "widely identified as anti-Muslim".
According to Peter Beinart in The Atlantic, "the organization has condemned cities with large Muslim populations for serving halal food in public schools. In 2013, its Houston chapter urged members to 'protest' food companies that certify their meat as compliant with Islamic dietary law. ACT! for America tries to dissuade Jews and Christians from conducting interfaith dialogue with Muslims. And in state after state, it has lobbied state legislatures and school boards to purge textbooks of references that create 'an inaccurate comparison between Islam, Christianity and Judaism.'"
According to Laurie Goodstein of The New York Times, Gabriel "presents a portrait of Islam so thoroughly bent on destruction and domination that it is unrecognizable to those who study or practice the religion." Goodstein says that Gabriel "insists that she is singling out only "radical Islam" or Muslim "extremists"—not the vast majority of Muslims or their faith. And yet, in her speeches and her two books, she leaves the opposite impression." ...
She seems smart enough to see that Hershel is a moron. That's some serious hatred in her to gush over him just because he plays for her team.
The
RCP Average 1/13 - 6/27 is Warnock +1.6. However, the only poll since 6/9 found Warnock +10.

), love the handle, too. I'll be using it when referring to TFG, thanks.
