fenwaydav - when Sarah Palin first came on the scene she seemed like a breath of fresh air, but I would still have preferred Mitt Romney on the ticket. Now with this latest lapse of judgement I'm just shaking my head.

It would have been one thing if this setup had gone un-noticed by her, but even after it was pointed out she just continued with the interview totally uneffected by the scene going on behind her.

I still have no faith in Obama/Biden and the thought that Pelosi is 3rd in line is very scary, but when McCain signed off on the bailout bill I lost all faith in his ability to bring change.

Romney/Jindal - 2012

RealAmerican, I would love to let Sarah Palin go back to being Governor of Alaska. I don't go out of my way I assure you looking for Sarah Plain stories, and the fact she is a hunter doesn't necessarily bother me. She can shoot every last Alaskan for all I care. But to be interviewed NATION WIDE with a blood bath of turkeys behind her is gross.

What is wrong with this country?

Our entire society is made up up of pre-packaged commercialized agoraphobics. How do you think turkeys get on your table? Every year, my family gets a turkey from Bonji's in Duxbury. When you go there, you can see the turkeys that survived.

In the old days, they would take an ax to the head. What that guy was doing looked like the most humane way to butcher a turkey I've ever seen.

I could see if the thing was bleeding and kicking and squawking, but it went out nice and quiet like.
Am I the only one that looks at the steaks in plastic wrap at the store and think, "if we knew where most of this came from, many of us would have a different diet."

Sarah lives in Alaska, people! They hunt moose and caribou for food for survival. The fuel cost on imported proteins are too high. they have to thin the wolf herds for survival of the population....of humans. And turkeys get slaughtered at Thanksgiving.

Grow up people. You live your lives in a bubble. No wonder we go to war so easily. Most people have never stood over a body, or buried a son!

Dave - when you're govenor, you're in the spotlight. I'll bet other govenors were in this type of situation (I'm sure she is not the only Gov to pardon a turkey - Clinton certainly did as President) but the reality of where we get our Thanksgiving meal from either wasn't caught on tape or just wasn't splashed across the front page everywhere.

Face it, the classless, liberal media is so PETTY, they continue to attack her even after their guy won.

Your comments about her "million dollar book deal and $300 scarf" were just about as tasteless and pointless.

No comments about Obama sending his kids to $30,000 a year schools? Didn't think so....
Where are all the blacks? They should be criticizing him as being to much of an "Uncle Tom" to have his kids go to school with theirs. They attacked Colin Powell (before he kowtowed to "his people" and public opinion and endorsed Obama) with such terms, but I guess that's DIFFERENT...

Listen Guys(and Gals), I know where our food comes from, I don't need lessons in veal or poultry or even popcorn. Do you know how many ears of corn it takes to fill a large order at the movies. (I don't and frankly I don't care)
Yes every Governor and the President Pardons a turkey. It's a stupid gesture if you ask me. I didn't get be the obese person (since my surgery, I am now just a heavy person) eating soy beans. I insist she's an Idiot for doing an interview in front of a tub of blood. I didn't do it she did. Yes almost every morsel of food that passes our table made it there threw the slaughter house. If it were the days when we had to kill what we ate I assure you I would be in the back yard killing squirrels if need be. Luckily I now go to Shaw's get my abundance. I have been called classless and more. I may even be a hypocrite because I love veal even though I know from the minute the are born till the day before they land on my plate, they are in pens motionless. Sarah Palin's Interview was like her pardoning someone on death row while others hung from a noose in the background.

As far as The Obama children going to public or private school, that's a whole other arguement. I know if it were up to the Obama's their children would be right there in public school. How real is that.

TheRealAmerican...just to clarify your point...that's $30,000 times 2 for 4 years! I think Sarah's $300 scarf pales in comparison!

Oh...and I wonder what B.O got paid when he wrote his book (as a sitting Senator)!

No wonder this country is in the shape it's in....we are more outraged over a governor doing an interview in front of turkey's being slaughtered for food for a National Holiday.....than we are about our own governor chastising the citizens of this state for being cynical about all the corruption going on here!

Dave - I didn't say YOU were classes, but I did find those comments you made to be so (and for that, I won't apologize).

Anyway you look at it, it is ENTIRELY UNNECCESSARY to continue to castigate Sarah Palin given the least opportunity.

The woman is Govenor of Alaska and yes, she's getting a lot to write a book. But A) WHO CARES?!? - I'll bet you didn't make a scene about Obama making even more on HIS book(s)and B) it's HER money to spend as she sees fit - I'll bet Michelle Obama has a few in her closet next to her "look, I dress just like you commonfolk" clothes.

You guys got the White House, let it go. There's NO rationalizing further attacks on Sarah Palin unless you're still trying to delude yourselves into thinking she really is evil...

BTW Dave, why not chastize the media group that shot the footage? I didn't read anything indicating Sarah Palin was behind the camera, the TV crews are the ones that control that...

Dave, you've been here long enough to know that this is all a liberal conspiracy and the cameraman is William Ayers' brother-in-law.

BRAVO JUNE!!!!!!!
