Why the big deal about something that everyone knows happens every year for Thanksgiving? So what if Palin happened to be the one in the video? What if it was Obama or Biden or Cheney? Okay, Cheney would probably have shot the thing himself, but still, who cares who was in front of the camera. If killing turkeys every year is a problem, complaining about it because Sarah Palin showed up in a video filmed on a turkey farm is not going to make a difference. There were likely dozens, if not hundreds more turkeys "processed" on that same farm when Palin wasn't being filmed. Do you ever hear anyone complain about that?

From Palin's interview immediately before this, "pardoning" a turkey:
"I, Sarah Palen, Governor of Alaska, and friend to all creatures great and small, do hereby deem this this fowl creature worthy of a pardon ..."

I was astonished to see how long it was taking those turkeys to die.

The second one was inserted into the killing machine at 1.17 on the video.
This turkey was still struggling, flapping its wings at 3.00.

All that time, dear Sarah was happily burbling on assuring us that she hasn't changed at all, and that what candidates go through is "pretty brutal".

"Oh well, this was, this was neat, (looking back at the turkey still struggling in the killing machine,)
I was happy to get to be invited to participate in this, and, and uh, you know it for one,
you need a little bit of levity in this job ...
...
At least this was fun."

I hope the poor turkey was dead before time the interview ended.

Imagine having to listen to that as your life slowly drained away. You wouldn't be able to die fast enough.

""Imagine having to listen to that as your life slowly drained away. You wouldn't be able to die fast enough.""

Welcome to the world under liberals. The turkeys were and are fair game.

HAHAHAHA!

Just wanted to stop in one last time and laugh at Sarah Palin for this poor attempt at looking decent in front of the media...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

I kind of feel bad for her... but she shouldn't have been a puppeteer around the states for John McCain when the lies and deception were brought into the campaign. Failure to put her foot down landed her right back where she started, face first.

Well I'm eating turkey for thanksgiving anyway. The same people who gripe will be the ones at burger king tomorrow. And for vegetarians ( I have nothing against that).........Dead animals help fertilize the ground that grows your veggies, so I guess we all consume meat somehow.

I honestly don't care, but she is a respectable person. Why is she "face down"in a turkey farm?
Please elucidate.
Awkward, yeah ,but see my earlier posts about this.

I'm not going to play poor turkey or kill em kill em but come on!
Levity?
Did that crazy tart say levity?

For the 87% of obamaphiles (Zogby poll) that can't tell the difference between Sarah Palin and Tina Fey (from Saturday Night Live), I'm proposing that this was actually another Tina Fey skit.

Now which candidate said, "I can see Russia from my house."?

People eat dead turkeys all the time.

So what?

The POTUS pardons a turkey and then days later eats a dead one.

So what?

Bad choice of backgrounds for the interview.

She, and 'her people', should have known better with that.

The funny part is that the producers HAD to have known that they were filming in front of a turkey slaughter, but they dont mind sending Palin to the slaughter with humility. They needed this kind of footage to jump their news station onto the national stage for a bit. Great publicity for the news station.
