Hmm. Good question.

If it bleeds, it leads   [Mark Steyn]

I didn't think I could like Sarah Palin more than I do, but the nancy boys at MSNBC bleating all over the screen about the Great Turkey Carnage is hilarious. This is a great caption:

 TURKEYS DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM MEDIA

Or was it: MEDIA DIE AS GOVERNOR PALIN TAKES QUESTIONS FROM TURKEYS.

After she's sworn in in 2013, I hope President Palin arranges for a ritual turkey slaughter to be going on behind her at every press conference, if only during David Shuster's questions.

Tim Blair has a good round-up of reaction.

Definitely something we want to look into. Maybe we could have her talk about her policies regarding foreign relations while chopping a side of moose into appropriate cuts for barbequeing later.

I haven’t seen this interview, but I heard about it, and it made me laugh like no other. Life is so funny.

As another Freeper has proposed, imagine Sarah Palin delivering a Mark Steyn penned speech.

How about an Inaugural Address?

Maybe someone could photoshop Obama's swearing in ceremony with a procedure in the background.

Gotta love Steyn. He'd by my speech writer in a heartbeat and worth every penny.

I wonder if the back story is that the newsies positioned Sarah with some story about the lighting, etc.? I wouldn't put it past them for a minute to manufacture something like that.

That was my thought. They fight for the right to abort but get squeamish at the vision of the turkey they will eat on Thanksgiving being killed.
They prove every day how out of touch with reality they have become. Just when you think they cannot get any worse they prove they sure can.

They criticize here for supposedly being naive but they don’t seem to understand that something has to die if they are going to have a turkey dinner.

I like the way you think.

It is long past time to go the mat with these MFers.

I thought she did a great job. I was unable to discern anything remotely gory. It was not even clear what was going on behind her. I couldn’t tell if the turkeys were dead or alive or what they were doing to them. Weighing them? De-feathering them?

I will bet money that the people that object to this video are the same ones that enjoy going to slasher movies and find nothing objectionable there. I will also bet money that many of those who complain about this video will be eating turkey sometime within the next 7 days.

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

The guy behind her who is killing the turkeys keeps looking at the camera, like he's amused that he's slaughtering them behind the interview.

And yes, isn't it ironic that the people making a flap about these stupid birds will not stand up for life when it is that of an unborn human being.

That's a funny image. Okay, I'm googleing the video. And I agree, it's amazing that all these PETA people are pro-abortion. Maybe the animal thing is how they compensate for being pro-abortion.

I wonder if she was really interviewed with the 'matador' in the background. It wasn't a long video segment though. Isn't possibly video layering using Adobe Premier or Final Cut Pro?

Best part of it all is when the reporter asks if “anything else will be heading for the chopping block” - I LOVE IT!!!!!

Gotta love Thanksgiving - gobble-gobble-gobble!
