Sarah Palin: The Barracuda

The other major point is:
Look how long that bird struggled before dying! Surely a quick chop would be better!
It seemed as though an artery was severed and blood vacuumed out of its body... some blood spilt.
Torture is not necessary!

Have you ever been to a slaughter house? It is normal, even if you remove the neck of a bird it still moves for a while.
 
Turkeygate:

Some blogs about the Palin interview with the turkey slaughter after she pardoned one turkey:

Q. What's the difference between Sarah Palin and a turkey?
A. The G.O.P. doesn't have to pay $150,000 to dress a turkey.

* It is always the president who pardons turkeys, and Palin is a president-wannabe.
She's practicing in case she ever gets to be president.

* Anyone wonder what they did with the turkey blood? I hope you have eaten.
I suspect it goes into sausages and soup and things like that. Yuk.

* There are TWO turkeys in this picture ...

* This woman loves to be pictured with dying animals for some reason.
Maybe she should now be known as Mrs."PAIN"lin. Definitely ODD!

* Palin puts the "laughter" in slaughter!

* Well, being indifferent to slaughter is what it takes to be a VP during war times.

* The birds are put into that thing live, head-first, struggling? Thanks for telling us that - seriously. I just became a vegetarian this minute and will remain so until I can be sure that an animal I eat was killed humanely - i.e. without distress and suffering. It does happen sometimes in the industry - obviously not at this particular place.

* SO, did she spare a turkey to take it home and kill it herself. That would fit, right?

* Palin will get her turkey cooked by the animal rights activists on this one.

* Some nice parallels here: Imagine the saved turkey as a CEO and the slaughtered gobblers as the American worker, soldier, pensioner. And then there's the notion of getting stuffed. And of course the bird brain comparison.

* She did that "turkey kill" shot on purpose - a reminder to anyone thinking of crossing her ---

* It isn't the turkey that bothers me so much, it is the gobbeling of the governor. What, in heaven's name did she say? She speaks in broken cliches, two words forward and one back.

* Pathetic...This woman did this interview with that backdrop, which is barabaric and disturbing, because she knew all the cable news channels etc would take notice and she's get more airtime. Except she has NOTHING valid to say.

* Difference between a hockey mom and a turkey? 7 million dollar book deal.

* Actually Obama did do a similar interview, except in his, Republicans were being slaughtered in the background.

I am with you, it seemed very barbaric based on the bird's struggles. Not sure what her point was in doing this interview either.

Was the bird struggling, or was it just dead and its animations were just reflexes?

Seeing any animal die is unpleasant though, despite the circumstances ... at least, in my opinion. So, quite odd indeed.

Too true.
There was a transition pause - from frantic to weak struggling, when it had died and the nerve twitching began. Awful.

The Australian report on this says Palin was not aware of what was happening in the background as she spoke.
Their video clip is from KTUU-TV in which the journo says Palin didn't know.

In fact, before the taping, Palin was asked about the scenario and she said:
"No worries. I'm fine with that."

Did you note the drums under the guillotine that collected the blood?
I just think they should knock them out before they suck the blood out of them.
Hopefully it will be a wake-up call for all abattoirs - all over the world. Be humane!

Maybe Palin's media addiction ploy for attention will have some value besides self-interest.

:topic - a poem by Gordon - a hypothetical where, in the interests a fairness, a man should take on a fair adversary under fair conditions - take a rifle with one bullet (deerhunter style) and wait outside a grizzly's lair .. ;)

LEX TALIONIS
Adam Lindsay Gordon.

To beasts of the field, and fowls of the air, and fish of the sea alike,
Man's hand is ever slow to spare, and ever ready to strike;
With a licence to kill, and to work our will, In season by land or by water,
To our heart's content we may take our fill of the joys we derive from slaughter..........

Shall we, hard hearted to their fates, thus soft hearted shrink from our own,
when the measure we meet is metred to us, when we reap as we've always sown,
Shall we who for pastime have squandered life, who are styled "the Lords of Creation",
Recoil from our chance of more equal strife , and our risk of retaliation?
....

But you've no remorseful qualms or pangs, When you kneel by the grizzly's lair,
On that conical bulllet your sole chance hangs, 'Tis the weak ones advantage fair,
And the shaggy giant's terrific fangs are ready to crush and tear.
Should you miss, one vision of home and friends, five words of unfinished prayer,
Three savage knife stabs, and so your sport ends
In the worrying grapple that chokes and rends :-
Rare sport, at least, for the bear!"

Although I have not seen the video of Palin and the turkeys, from accounts I would reckon she spent at most 2-3 minutes at the scene.

You jokers have masticated over this for over 24 hours.

Who is worse?

Voyeuristic commentators who eat meat and have never seen a turkey killed, living in clingwrapped fetid cities or a good ole country girl doing her duty as Governor of Alaska, and saving one at Thanksgiving.

gg

Hey gg - she can stay a good ole country girl till the end of time for all I care lol

As long as she never sets foot inside the White House ;)
 
LOL obviously you people that are crying about it have never lived in a real world (but instead everything handed to you).

Lets say she was shown hunting a turkey (of course thats cruel and inhumane blah blah).

If you dont eat meat then cry all you want (your entitled to your opinion) but if you eat meat and still criticize then you are the one who lives in lala land.

Im glad in a way that she is showing people that "this is what happens to a turkey before you buy it in a shop" of course people dont like graphic material but unfortunately some things in life arnt nice but need to be done.
 
Sarah Palin lives in the real world. Many of the Palin haters on this thread live in a make believe fantasy land where meat comes from sources other than actual animals. Get out of the city and see where all the food comes from. Some of it is not pretty, but it is neccessary for our survival.

Incredible.

And for one of the above uninformed posters, Governors do in fact have the power to pardon in their individual states. Each state has its own laws on the extent of this pardon power. The Governor of Illinois a few years ago pardoned dozens of death row inmates, giving them life inprisonment instead.
 
Well I'm predicting Sarah Palin is thrown out of office as State Governor at the next opportunity. Watch this youtube if you haven't already.

Gotta feeling she's "a bit round the bend" even for Alaskans. :rolleyes: ...

Certainly her pastor is! - Pastor Muthree - he who chased down a witch responsible for car accidents in a town in Kenya? :eek:

Alaskan Reporter (Shannyn Moore) :- "We're into hunting, but not necessarily witch-hunting :eek: I think we Alaskans have learnt a lot about Sarah Palin since she was nominated by John McCain."

"Her church is into speaking in tongues ... Alaska is going to be the last days' refuge ?? " ("last days refuse" more likely - if she gets her way) :eek:

"This pastor, Muthree, who ran on the fact that he ran a witch out of town in Kenya - this spiritual warfare, something they talk a lot about at this church, etc " :eek:

"She has a real fuzzy line between the separation of Church and State when it comes to her policies here. Palin gives this pastor and the laying on of hands etc a lot of the credit for getting her into the Governor position. ... It's even weird for Alaskans I assure you."

Incredible news today! Incredible.
Palin is stepping down as governor because she won't be contesting a second term next year.

According to her, this decision makes her a lame duck and all lame ducks spend millions on interstate and overseas trips milking the system, squandering $millions. She will not be this stereotype, thus will do more for her state and her country by working 'outside politics'. Huh?

Take a stand and effect positive change outside government?

http://video.nytimes.com/video/2009/07/03/multimedia/1194841338826/palin-announces-resignation.html

Is she really serious about being capable of taking Obama's job in 2012?
