Upset Over Sarah Palin’s Turkey Video

Oh leave the lady alone.
Isn’t it enough she lost.
She is not the first turkey killer I know.
I kill a few myself.
God ordered us to eat animals as the Bible says.
So leave Sarah alone.

What an absolute imbecile she is to be interviewed in front of the slaughter of a turkey just after the pardon of another. I was horrified once I realized what was going on behind her.
Media – please stop providing air-time for this air-head.

Right up her alley,this is the nutcase she is….

She shoots moose and photographs herself with a gun and the carcass.
What is a dead turkey compared to that?
You vegetarians should just stop whinning and leave Sarah alone.
It is no one’s fault that you hate meat. the rest of us love it and we are with God on this one.

I defer to no one in despising Sarah Palin for myriad reasons.
But maybe the woman simply isn’t squeamish and hypocritical about eating meat — and doesn’t care about the tender feelings of people who are.
I’m an omnivore, but I respect many of the animal-rights, anti-meat folks because they live by their principles. The hunters and farmers I know are upfront about killing animals for food and are willing to do the dirty work themselves. I can respect that, too.
The people I can’t respect are those who criticize hunters and farmers for killing animals but then eat meat and wear leather. And who try to pretend that their desire to eat meat doesn’t require the killing and dismemberment of animals.

proof that it is God’s will that this woman has nothing to do with the leadership of the republican party… or MAYBE, God is up there right now with George Carlin having a BLAST showing the world the republicans are complete idiots

Good Grief! Turkeys are for eating not pardoning! Get a life!

YOU GUYS MAKE ME PUKE
YOUR SICKENING LOVE FOR OBAMA HAS LED TO THIS OBSESSION WITH ALL NEGATIVES ABOUT PALIN..
TURKEYS GET SLAUGHTERED BEFORE THEY END UP ON YOUR NICE FLOWERY THANKSGIVING PARTIES.
THOSE FOLKS ARE REALISTIC-
YOU ARE NOT-
EVERONE OF THOSE ANIMALS IN THE GROCERY STORES GET SLAUGHTERED.

I just bet the media set it up to stop her at that particular point on the farm. Why not just shoot a close up. They wanted the back drop of the slaughtering. As far as killing the turkeys, what’s the big deal. That’s why we breed them. The activist need to get a life! Imagine showing up in the homeless shelter on Thanksgiving and giving those poor people a few carrots! It’s so ridiculous.

Yes I eat turkey, but come on here! Do you really need the kiddies watching that at age 5? Maybe it’s normal in Alaska or on the farm, but try explaining it to some New York tot. It’s just one more instance of insensitive, imbecilic behavior from a half-rate politician without the sense to consign herself to the dustbin of history where she belongs. Now I have to go calm down my visiting 4 year old niece after she peeked onto the computer the older kids were watching that mess on. Thanks a lot Sarah

Too bad the liberals got offended by the death of a chicken.
What on earth will they do tomarrow morning when deer hunting opens in my state.

I’m smoking my Turkey!!!!

And just what do these people think happen at a slaughter house???
They should see the way turkeys flop around when they are shot with an arrow.

If people are so concerned about what children see on television and the Internet, maybe they should actually pay attention to the youngsters’ television and Internet activities.

What’s wrong with a 5 year old seeing where their food comes from. Parents let their kids watch TV where people are killed every day but let them see a real turkey being killed for Thanksgiving and they get upset. Grow up. I eat meat and so does millions of people and if they can’t watch a turkey being killed they should become a vegetarian.

Are we actually letting these people breath our oxygen? I can think of a few folks I would substitute for the Turkey…quite a few in fact!

Some people are still obsessed with Sarah.
Get a grip.

Just my two cents… Has anyone ever considered that the guy in the background who put the turkey in the barrel is an idiot? Think about it..and watch the clip again. As many times as he looked back at the camera during the interview, he knew exactly what he was doing–he knew he was being filmed. It doesn’t appear Sarah knew that was going on because he appeared “after” the interview started and she didn’t look back. Cut her some slack, for goodness sake. Perhaps this guy did it to get some noteriety or stir up the pot some more…who knows? ..hmmm…I wonder. Honestly, if he had any sense whatsoever, he would have waited after the interview to kill the bird–if it ever died. That part is never shown.

Hey, Frank! Maybe you should have read the other comments.. Palin was asked BEFORE the interview about the location, and at the end, she DID look to her left before she made a comment about probably taking criticism for ‘this’ too. She knew what she was doing. She’s a farm girl, a hunter. She’s not being duped, tricked, and the worker at the farm wasn’t in some kind of conspiracy.
It’s a matter of whether or not she used good judgment or whether choosing to do the interview during the ongoing slaughter was showing sensitivity.
And I agree, the worker didn’t show much intelligence in not waiting for the interview before going back to work.
This IS the reality of eating turkey – they get slaughtered.

Palin is a train wreck that just won’t stop and thank God for that! I googled Palin + turkey and got 0ver 3,290,000 sites and trust me it wasn’t the publicity she’s seeking.
It’s difficult to believe that she has any advisors whatsoever because the least astute of professional media handlers woulda nixed this in the bud. She’s probably got someone else from her Wasilla High coterie advising her. While most governors who even “pardoned” a turkey just issued a press release, Palin sees this as a camera opportunity but doesn’t even have the foresight to have the lucky tom turkey bathed so she wouldn’t soil her designer duds. And then the irony of pardoning one bird while the slaughter goes on in the background is lost only on her base of rabid supporters. I laughed out loud when she said “We’re probably going to get criticized even for this.” Well, yeah, um… DUUUH!
I trust that Palin had the option to reshoot the interview had she had the slightest foresight to do so. Any time constraints that she was under had to be entirely self-imposed.
Thank you Sarah, this one was priceless. Get more air time, PULEEZE! BTW, growing up in north Ga, I’ve hunted often and slaughtered animals myself but, BUT, we controlled the environment and access to the goings on to those who might have found it offensive. It’s painfully obvious that Palin is obliviously and idiotically insensitive to the public sentiment she so desperately courts.
Flailin Failin Palin!! 2012!

Sarah is sending a little messege here. We’ll let all of you on the left have some extra time to figure it out, because youre special.

Palin still trying desperatly to keep ‘the buzz’ alive by doing moronic PR stunts like this. Pathetic.

It’s just too damn funny! I love Sarah, but you gotta admit, this was pure unintended comedy. Bravo!

Hey there Bob, you used up 253 words on Sarah (not to mention your time), you Googled her and the turkey, and you read what you found so you could report that it isn’t the publicity she’s seeking. Why so intent on “Failin’ Palin”? I don’t get you and your ilk.
Go ahead and live life, Sarah. Everybody enjoy your Thanksgiving turkey, even if it’s Tofurkey.

Sarah Palin is a pathetic human being, she guns down helpless animals from a helicopter and brags about what a fantastic hunter she is. She clearly doesn’t read material that relates to world events but instead reads children books and thinks she will be one of the super heroes when she finally bags Bullwinkle J. Moose.

You can debate Sarah abilities all you want. At least we know she is eligible to be President. I think it is time for the Anointed One to prove he is eligible to serve in the White House.

Leave it to the MSM to follow the bidding of the shadow gov’t and continue to bash Sarah. Sarah is what they fear most so MSM must destroy her. For those of you who only get your news from one source (CBS, NBS, ABS, CNBS, MSNBS) a simple suggestion: If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes. The MSN message is always the same. More gov’t, more security, less freedom.

Ed B,
I watched the turkey slaughter over on FoxNews and it was just as disgustingly ironic over there as it was on the MSM outlets.

Eating turkey is murder…tasty, tasty murder. Pass the drumstick.

Instead of complaining about the turkey being abused, why dont you use that anger and transfer it towards a more useful cause such as help children being sold in different parts of the world into prostitution,slavery or have more compassion for other human beings rather than a stupid turkey. it is so ridiculous.

It is good to see at least one honest women, still left in this country. The squemish little fools and deluded pea-brains on MSNBC and elsewhere could not handle the truth if it got up and wrung their phony little necks. If only they could get up in arms like this about the murder of millions of unborn human babies!! Or something else that is important to the wellbeing of our country, such as the erosion of individual freedoms and the misguided and failing public school system. But turkeys, that is something they can sink their stupid wrotten teeth into? Anything to twist the truth with misguided cynisism. “You shall learn the truth and the truth will set you free.” But then, when will we ever learn?
Sarah Palin in 2012! Let freedom ring!

This appears to be staged. The turkey handler waits to appear until after the film was running and then keeps looking at the camera. He also is looking to the side and appears to be acknowledging some signal from off camera the the viwers left.
I wonder how much the ABC news crew paid him for the photo op???

Try watching the COMPLETE clip available at other news sites. The ‘handler’ is already conducting a slaughter as the interview begins. When the turkey has met his maker, the ‘handler’ takes the lifeless carcass out of camera range. That’s where the SHORT video clip begins. The ‘handler’ then returns with a second turkey and does his dirty work again.
Richard, your conspiracy theory is nothing but turkey droppings.

The turkey in the video is never slaughtered. It is still alive at the end.

I’m sorry, but someone should be fired over the Palin turkey interview.
It seems that everyone out there is reacting as though something was wrong with Sarah for not having eyes in the back of her head. In fact, there was something wrong with the producer and the camera operator. I am an amateur photographer, and I know that your picture is only as good as your background. It’s like hunting… you alway need to be aware of what’s behind your target. This is Photography 101, and even I could have made Sarah look better than this.
But the producer is even more culpable. At least the camera operator managed to get the picture. The producer made Sarah look like a complete buffoon. This is clearly a case of media incompetence, or worse, yet another instance where the media has maliciously tried to make Sarah look incompetent.
It did not work on me. I know Sarah, and I also know how it works on the “safe” side of the camera. The videographer and the producer should not be so safe. KTUU should fire someone, or apologize, or both.

That was nothing! At least they were in that container so they didn’t take off running around the lot! I’ve butchered chickens numerous times, and it still amazes me that a chicken with it’s head cut off can run around the yard for so long! As to the tree huggers and Peta idiots that are offended…. shut up! It’s a free country and I have the right to eat meat. And YOU have the right to remain silent!

Yes, we know that the meat we buy at the store is not magically produced by the meat fairy. The point people are trying to make is that this dim-witted woman(Palin)was a candidate for VP,and possibly the Presidency. What this video shows is reinforcement of all the ineptness she displayed during the campaign. She continues to demonstrate a lack of political acumen, and plain old common sense that is startling. If she is the future hope of the GOP, someone had better wake up and see what
they are dealing with. The previous post that said, “If God didn’t want us to eat animals….then why did he make them out of meat?” BRILLIANT!!! This had to have been written by Sarah.
Oh my,oh my.

First of all, turkeys are killed in a very horrible way. They, along with chickens, are put on conveyor belts that chop their heads off. It doesn’t matter what the bible says- who says that the bible is right? And who cares what it says is right? If people have to eat meat, the animals could at least be treated correctly and humanely before they’re killed. Most animals are in factory farms their whole lives, never even seeing the light of day or feeling the warm sun on their backs. I am a vegetarian who DOES NOT wear any animal products, like leather, suede, etc. Animals deserve their rights just as people do. People should not be superior to non-human animals. Just because they can’t speak to us doesn’t make them inferior.
