Brigitte Bardot backs French far-right candidate Le Pen

[FarCenter]

Screen legend Brigitte Bardot backed French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen in a handwritten note published Wednesday in regional daily Nice-Matin.

The actress made an appeal to local elected officials to endorse the National Front leader so that she could gather the 500 signatures she will need to run in the two-round 2012 election two months away.

"I am scandalised that French mayors are so cold they don't have the honesty to back Marine Le Pen, who is a top candidate, defends animals and has the courage to lead our country, France, to its rightful spot in the world," it read.

The appeal from Bardot, a longtime animal rights activist, came days after Le Pen spoke out about animal suffering over the weekend, claiming all meat in the Paris region is prepared using Islamic halal traditions.

1. Brigitte, how could you? After I beat off to you so many times!

Animal suffering bad...human suffering okay.

I was just reading that the Royal ASPCA was created long before there was a corresponding organization founded for children.

4. Oh look

Marine LePen refused to step on a bug when walking down the sidewalk so now Bardot decides she'll make a good President.

Talk about a single issue voter.

Hitler loved dogs, but that doesn't mean he'd get my vote.

6. I see where this script came from

&skipcontrinter=1

Except in this original 1940 version, it was the Jewish kosher tradition that was causing all the animal suffering. The pictures may be a little too dated for LePen's campaign, but the script captures the essence of her politics.

7. Ugh just ugh.

I suppose she needs to be an animal rights supporter, because the LePen family certainly aren't human.

8. she loves animals but hates Muslims, Gays, and immigrants
