Sarah Palin Turkey Murder Interview (Video)

By The Staff at wowOwow.com
YouTube

Poor bird.

Sarah Palin appeared on a local news station on Thursday to pardon a turkey from slaughter in anticipation for Thanksgiving. Upon pardoning a bird, the fallen vice-presidential candidate did an interview. As the Alaska governor spoke to a reporter about serious issues, she was totally oblivious that a worker was slaughtering a turkey behind her! For more than three minutes, Palin spoke about the campaign trail and her plans for sprucing up Alaska’s economy (amid plummeting oil prices, Alaska’s prize commodity). Meanwhile, watch the clip below to see what happened to the poor bird in the background:

I’m with you, Dee, on this Palin video. Whether one is a vegetarian or not is not the point. This is killing a live turkey on what was live TV. If one eats meat is not the question, is it? We also have sex but don’t want to see ourselves on TV in the act. These things are just private or they are pornographic and I look at this in those same terms. I “heard” that she was asked before the shoot if she’d prefer to use a different background and she said, “no”. This imagery, this woman and her words say it all. Enough IS NOW More than enough!!!

Palin seems to have no conscience about her. She shoots animals from helicopters? Does a live turkey-killing commercial, while supposedly allowing one turkey to live - they most likely killed it as soon as she got ‘off air’ don’tcha s’pose? She reminds me of some people who really do not have a conscience when it comes to killing… it is just matter of fact. I wonder if she values human life, at all.

Of course she values human life, you dolt. She is anti-abortion isn’t she? I guess your a vegan, if not where the hell do you think your steaks and burgers come from? They have to kill the animal first, and it has nothing to do with conscience. Happy turkey day, don’t eat too much dead turkey.

Irish- Thank you for saying the obvious! Gov. Palin is a member of Feminists for Life I am a vegeterian not a vegan. However, I could never understand why there are vegans who are for abortion. You don’t like the fact that an animal had to die and how it had to die so you decide not to eat meat. The torturing of an animal sort of speak. Can you only imagine how a baby feels being tortured when it’s getting aborted? Hello. Just a thought. Have a Happy Thanksgiving Irish Eyes and thank you for posting.

Oh, Irish, this is for you. You may have missed the outtakes. http://www.slatev.com/player.html?id=2957154001

Thanks Kermie, I didn’t know how to respond to this garbage. You did it perfectly. I’ll listen to Pro Life people, when I know they’re teaching their girls how to not get pregnant, and when they work hard to help families in poverty. Talk is cheap. Self righteousness is disgusting.

Murnah H—Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for having the day off from work (so thankful) and the expensive ravioli (no animals were harmed in the making of this pasta) I have sitting in my fridge. My boyfriend will have turkey—I don’t judge, nor do I care what others eat as long as it is healthy. I love what you said: “Talk is cheap. Self righteousness is disgusting.” But wasn’t that video spot on? So disgusting.

Ro: Merrill: I want to tell you and all the other wonderful people on this website about many of the other blogs available. 1. Saudi women struggle to break free from abusive husbands. 7 comments. 2. Africa needs empowered women. 3 comments. 3. U.S. may have tortured a Pakistani woman. She is missing, but accused of killing U.S. personnel. 1 comment. 4. Letterman confronts Couric about John McCain 6 comments. 5. Couric on Letterman discussing Palin. 37 comments. 6. Palin turkey murder interview. 86 comments. If you really want to change the world, you have to become involved. Women in Saudi Arabia need your help in understanding that the beating of women cannot be tolerated. In Africa where children die by the thousands, women are raped by the thousands, they need strong women to start the necessary changes they need. You have the opportunity to involve yourselves in dialouge that would acheive that. Instead, you cannot stop talking about Sarah Palin. Palin was the mayor of a small town, then voted in as Governer of a State, then thrust into the national spotlight as a VP running mate. Couric could’ve asked her anything, but she obsessed about newspapers and magazines. I know women hate other women, but one thing you’ll never get from Palin is bullshit. If Palin believed, by lying about her view regarding abortion would win her an election, she would’nt do it. You don’t have to agree with her views, but they’re the truth. I’ve never heard a good reason why any of you dislike Palin. Its always the same, shes uneducted, and of course the Couric interview. No one on here knows Obama anymore than Palin, but you have treated her as if she were dirt. You should all be ashamed of yourselves. I’m sure most of you have already purchased your turkey for Thanksgiving. I’m not sure what type of bird you bought, but turkeys that take their own lives seem to be very popular. Of course turkeys that commit suicide are more expensive. The ones that jump off tall buildings are the cheapest as they’re more messy. The most expensive turkeys, are the ones that hang themselves. When serving a turkey that took its own life to your relatives for Thanksgiving dinner, you’ll at least have that peace of mind knowing it wasn’t M U R D E R E D !!!!!!!

This is just too hilarious and too pathetic—she hasn’t got one iota of political sense for where and when in giving an interview. And people actually voted for this?

Forgot to say, glad she wasn’t standing in front of someone making sausage. Perhaps I will cook a vegetarian dinner Thursday…

Diana…. couldn’t you picture Bush doing something stupid like this for a Thanksgiving photo op? Palin is his twin sister.
