Sam defends Lindsay’s honor… against flour
Oh, don’t mess with the Lohan. Or the Lohan’s girlfriend anyway.
After a PETA activist pelted Lindsay Lohan with flour for wearing what appeared to be fur, an angry Samantha Ronson posted a chastisement on her MySpace:
“There is a fine line that distinguishes the difference between exercising our freedom of expression and offending others, for example the debate regarding freedom of speech vs. hate speech…. i feel that this principle should apply to protestors also. It’s a pity that some groups feel the need to assault people as opposed to fighting with words.
Whenever I feel the need to vent about something that feels unfair to me I reach for my computer, I don’t run out of the house with abusive intentions. I don’t expect everyone to react the same way, but I do expect people to respect each other. Maybe that’s my first mistake? It seems lately I am learning that there are too many people who put another species before their fellow man and that’s sad. I don’t wear fur, but I don’t think I have the right to ATTACK those who do. No one has that right.
PETA should focus their efforts on educating people on what they believe are injustices instead of seeking press via harassing those in the limelight. I received an apology too many days late from the PETA folks (the blog removal was too little too late) and today I’m pissed at the bag of flour thrown on Lindsay last night. Not because I got powdered down, but because the girl who threw it acted like an animal herself. I take that back, it’s an insult to animals to group her in with them, my dog is FAR more civilized than that person. I would have more respect for them if they didn’t use other people to get their point across. Lindsay, Mary Kate, Ashley Olsen, Anna Wintour and the rest of the targeted celebrities aren’t the problem, I’m pretty sure they’re not the only ones wearing fur, in fact, they should be appreciated by PETA for giving them a target. If it weren’t for them, who would get them press?????
I know I’m probably going to get a lot of angry emails in response, but I don’t really care. I got enough last week for no reason so I’m more than happy to ignore the nastiness after seeing what I saw last night. I’m not about to throw on a fur coat in retaliation, but had I had one within reach, I’m not sure I would have walked away from it.
p.s. when was the last time you saw an animal attack one of its own in defense of a human? hmmmmm….. that’s one to grow on!
p.s.s. i think there are plenty of families that could have used that flour for a meal. nice job, lady.”
The incident occurred when the two showed up at the the VIP Room Theater in Paris Saturday night. The nightclub’s owner helped Lohan brush off her dress and black fur stole before she posed for photos on the red carpet.
OK, Sam. For starters, I recall the days when wearing fur got red paint thrown at you, so consider yourselves luck that all you had to do was brush this stuff off.
Second, families could have used that flour? Woman. Why don’t you and your lady love sell that expensive-ass fur and feed a few families? Give me a break.

I am not pro PETA, but something has to be done about the Chinese fur traders.
