So true.....next election have a picture of an aborted child behind a pro-abortion politician. The wierd thing is some extremely intelligent people don’t even know what partial-birth abortion is and what the procedure is. A close friend told me he was voting for Obama. I said “you are for abortion?” His response blew me away. I told him of all the senators Obama was the worst. I went on to explain what partial birth abortion was and the procedure. His mouth dropped. He did not believe it. He had a lap top next to him and I told him to do a search. And this guy is an executive in a company. He said, “they do this in this country?”. I said yes. How many others are like that out there. I have a feeling there are alot more than we know. Needless to say he was shocked.

Not that “regular” abortion is any better.

It is just not as “late” or as visible, but of course much more common.

Did he vote for McCain after his abortion lesson. According Rush Limbaugh more that half of Catholics voted for Obama.

It’s quite obvious that the camera person was deliberately panning to the right in order to show the guy killing the turkeys while Sarah talks. This was a deliberate attempt to give her bad PR - what a shock ! Seriously, though - does she have handlers? Does she travel alone or with aides? If so, why didn’t someone say, “Hey, let’s move the interview to another location on the farm.” I’m no animal rights wacko but I can understand why some people would think this was an ill-advised location for the interview.

Abortion doesn't’ bother the bastards though.

Great point.

She should have just said matter-of-factly that the turkey she pardoned was innocent, and that the other turkeys deserved it.

Shuster obviously wasn’t raised on the farm, or around a flock of pullets being used for fryers for a family.

Thank-you Mark Steyn for showing me the humor in this!

I was so mad at what they did to her, I couldn't see straight.

God bless her....she really gets into their melons, as Dennis Miller would say.

Libs don't know were turkey dinners come from I guess we can't expect them to know much about anything.

Well, I suppose that David Shuster must have turned green at the spillage in a Kenyan village on the night of Nov. 4th:

In Obama's Kenyan Village, an Election Day 'Bloodbath' - TIME

Blood flowed as Election Day dawned in Barack Obama's ancestral village in western Kenya. The presidential candidate's half-brother Malik tied a bull to a tree, then hobbled it, and asked me to hold the beast's head to the ground as he drew a machete across its jugular. "Hold this guy down now," said Malik, 50, eyeing the animal's horns as blood poured from its throat like an open tap. "He could kill me now." After five minutes, the blood flow began to slow, and the fight went out of the animal, which stopped kicking and lay still, breathing heavily. "O.K., it's over," said Malik. "Fine animal too."

The cure for the spread of Blue Blight is Conservatism.

Oh! Now I see! She was simply practicing her political skills for 2012, and mean old MSDNC is to blame!

I’m sorry. I suppose that on some level, this should be embarrassing for her and her supporters (of which I decidedly am one), but for the life of me, I personally can’t bring myself to give a damn. As I said before, there are some folks who when they first heard that she field-dresses moose, thought that meant she drapes a sassy little cocktail number over them.

Heh, I’m glad to see that I wasn’t the only one fond of using the phrase nancy-boy to describe the media and the rest of the Obama adoring “men”.

Gov. Palin and the rest of us will enjoy a nice turkey dinner this thursday. The nancy-boys will still be involved in negotiations with the turkey about Thanksgiving dinner come spring.

The charm of Sarah is that she never thought to be aware that she was standing where she was. She has no guile. This is the way the world works. Where do people think their Thansgiving turkey comes from. It's part of not being a phony.

I think Sarah is sending a definite message to the other side.

I think Sarah was intentionally blindsided.

And if that's actually what you think Steyn is talking about, you're even dumber than I thought (and that says A LOT, trust me).

I've got no more time to waste on your nonsense.

According to Fox News, she was told by a camera person what was going on behind her....

What a hypocritical little sissy that "journalist" on the video is.

Where does he think that cooked turkey on his dinner table came from, the Magical Land of Noom? Or does he eat beans and rice on Thankgiving?

Idiot.

I saw a blurb today from ET where her spokesperson was quoted as saying Sarah did not know what was going on behind her.
