Sarah Palin -- Gobble, Gobble, Slaughter

It was the perfect metaphor for the McCain-Palin campaign. As Sarah Palin tried to do a good thing -- pardon a turkey -- a turkey farmer went all Marie Antoinette on a bird in the background.



Mildly disturbing? You betcha!

91. This was an interview she did AFTER she had already pardoned a lucky turkey.

92. I would love to see Tina Fey come back on SNL and do a skit about this. Sarah Palin should just remain barefoot and pregnant. I don't think she's intellectually capable of much more.

93. Sarah Palin is VERY naive! First, the radio station from Canada tricked her into thinking she was talking to a foreign leader and now she is so out-of-touch, that she doesn't even realize what is going on behind her during a media interview. Wake-up Sarah to what's happening in the here and now! I would hate to see someone that gullable and naive in public office.

94. Why is everyone picking on Sarah in this video?? she isn't doing anything wrong! she has no idea whats going on behind her! the man doing that KNOWING she is standing there doing an interview is the wrong one here. the camera man could have moved and not had him in the shot also. I love Sarah Palin. people are so ignorant!

95. It terrifies me that people actrually support and defend this woman. It seriously keeps me up at night. The thought that there are people on this earth, walking and living among us, that don't think she's a complete moron is absolutely mind-boggling! I just don't understand it. Can someone please explain it to me?!

96. The point is NOT that the turkey is going to be eaten. The point is that the moron in the background should have either killed it quickly and humanely or let it go until he was ready to do so! The fact that he was holding it upside down in that manner which made the bird struggle out of discomfort and fear for that length of time is DISGUSTING and point of this sickening video!

97. they set her up for that, look how she isnt in the center of the frame, she is on the left and Charlie Manson is on the right, the video is funny as hell but why is a journalist doing something like that on purpose ??

98. What about the reporter doing the interviewing? Or the cameraman doing the filming? It's not like they didn't see what was going on too, but didn't make an effort to change backgrounds. Why is the media so blameless all the time?

101. Palin was asked if the shot was okay. She said YES. She's the dumbest person alive. Poor turkey had more brains than her.

102. You people just can't stand the fact that Sarah is still in the spotlight for whatever reason. I guess she is taking up too much airtime that you think your messiah should be getting.

103. WHAT WAS SHE THINKING???? Oh Thats right, SHE DOESN'T... If my young kids had seen that on TV they would be mortiffied... Eatting meat is a personal choice and I love the stuff, but I'm not about to start showing my young kids pictures and video's of animals being slaughtered...

104. Aja - I agree, but the only explanation I have is that those who are in the "religious extreme right," the so-called"pro-life" crowd cannot see her stupidity because they are so enraptured by her archaic views and wilingness to cram her God and religion down the rest of our throats. As long as she is a Christian, even a lying, power abusing, self centered, one, they will all love and adore her. What scares me is that there are so many of them - I have nothing against religion, as long as they keep it out of govt and politics. But they aren't willing to do that because they think it is their right to tell the rest of us how to live our lives even though it SO goes against our Constitution. Take Prop 8, gay marriage would do nothing to hurt THEIR marriages, however, they think they can tell others how to live and interpret the Bible. With over 50% of marriages failing anyway, even "Christian" ones, how sacred is it anymore?? Even Sarah and Todd Palin were married in a courthouse (and she was pregnant) so how "Godly" is her own union? It wasn't blessed in a church, just a judge. She, and the rest of them who worship her, are a bunch of hypocrites. Just hope that sane, lawabiding, tolerant Americans will always prevail.
