A friend of mine took some video of me speaking extemporaneously about Invisible Children's push for intervention in Uganda and the Sudan, particularly a bill which passed recently authorizing force, and Invisible Children posted it on their blog along with some fairly comical commentary.

Invisible Children built a nice straw man argument out of a video of me speaking extemporaneously among friends, obviously using exaggeration I wouldn't use in an argument.
I was at the time trying to warn people about S.1067 - Lord's Resistance Army Disarmament and Northern Uganda Recovery Act of 2009
Since they particularly targeted me in their official blog, I posted a response in the biggest heavy metal e-zine I could, which is actually sortof how they recruit kids for their pro-war agenda (Warped Tour outreach, lots of band endorsements, etc.)
I got these warmongers for who they really are in this very big heavy metal blog, widely read among those they beguile.

It was kindof creepy being targeted by such a massive non-profit though! haha
