1080 nutjob

Written by 

Some 1080 opponents were indecently quick to distance themselves from the eco-terrorism scandal in which an anonymous coward threatened to contaminate infant formula in protest against the poison.

This extreme threat of economic sabotage provoked instant and widespread disgust and it is understandable well-known 1080 opponents wouldn’t want to be associated with it. However, in our experience at Rural News Group, while this is at the top of scale, the bully-boy, gestapo style of self-righteous attack is in keeping with many anti-1080 nutjobs we’ve encountered over the years.
