The name sounds scary though. Reminds me of Whackos belonging to the "Earth Liberation Front" who toppled several AM radio towers in Washington a few weeks ago. Reason; "AM radio waves cause adverse health effects including a higher rate of cancer, harm to wildlife, and that the signals have been interfering with home phone and intercom lines."

Looks to me like its an intentional play on Earth/Animal Liberation Front (aka ELF and ALF).

Which are themselves references to any number of leftist revolutionary movements, because remember kids, Communism is cool.
Like Che T-shirts, I severely doubt anybody ever thought through "Hey, I wonder what an all-red color scheme and the words 'Liberation Front' say about our values here". Hint: it isn't "Do no evil."
