I Like ItI Don’t Like It

From the department of awkward timing: Days after video of Sarah Palin's interview in front of slaughtered turkeys became a web sensation, the conservative group Our Country Deserves Better releases a Thanksgiving-themed ad "thanking" Palin.

The opening of the spot features an announcer praising Palin...in front of images of roasted turkeys.

Take a look:

Some text from the email announcing the advertisement:

Friends, too many times we've seen politicians who "sell out" to the media or political pressure and succumb to politically correct, liberal positions, rather than fight for conservative beliefs. But Gov. Sarah Palin has stood steadfast by her conservatism, both in public as a politician, and in her own private life - carrying to full term her baby boy, Trig, rather than opting out for an abortion as some would have had her done. She believed in the value of that life, just as she believes in the greatness of America.


It's time for us to stand behind Sarah Palin now, not just to support her, but to also show other politicians that if they take the risk to champion conservative ideals, that they will find support from we, the American people.

I'd be quite surprised if I were to find out that the PAC funding this ad didn't have some substantial link to Big Religion. She was their "pick", not McCain's. They forced her on him.

Since they're so bitter and angry (at "us", the "unreal" America) that she, their new Evangelical theocratic political vanguard, didn't become next-in-line and got sent back to Wasilla---without now even a chance to return to Washington as a senator (...anytime soon, anyway)---they're forcing her on us, too...with a vengeance.

You might consider this her first campaign ad of 2012.

She's not going away. Her Big Religion financiers and constituents wouldn't let her "quit" if she wanted to (and she obviously doesn't want to).

We'll be seeing a lot of her in the next few years...and quite a few more like her no doubt.

Don't you guys remember Sarah Palin said in an interview that she hid her pregnancy for six months? Even from her own parents. She and Todd didn't tell anyone. So if no one knew about the pregnancy, how could anyone suggest she get an abortion at six months? It would be too late for that. My question is why was she hiding the pregnancy? She wasn't Bristol, 17, unmarried and pregnant.

She hid her pregnancy because she new her child has DS and she said she couldn't face it. She didn't even tell her own children that their soon-to-be-born brother had any sort of problem what-so-ever. She seems very sneaky to me.

Wait, this is a satirical type of ad right? No way was this meant to be serious.

The man who is backing the website for Palin was on MSNBC today. I hope someone from Huffington can contact MSNBC and get it to publish here. He said they have raised tens of thousands of dollars and are planning to go national ( gag). He said they were going to run the ads during the Thanksgiving football games. Now I hope that turns off all the football fans.

I would like to know who belongs to this PAC, because he said that Obama raised millions on the internet. Something does not seem right about this, because if Palin is somehow involved and wants to use funds from this website and ads then someone better be keeping good books already to see if they are violating election laws.

OMG I am not ready to see her face all over tv again. I hope someone is done to investigate this PAC and see what this is all about. If he has plans to skim off the top, the people donating may be taken as well. Call it intuition, it just dosen't pass the smell test.

It would be interesting to know who the big doners are that would shell out this kind of money. Palin would not have had funds available from the RNC to start the funding for this would she?

Any way, that's the way it is folks, as Bugs Bunny would say.

Take a look at their website. Everything on it is outdated. If that's indicative of their fundraising or anything else, they are total losers. I think this is called "accidental satire".

Hopefully this fund raising campaign will net them in the negative. What this PAC fails to realize is:

They're thanking Palin for running a negative, divisive, uninformed campaign.

They're thanking Palin for being marginal at best with regard to education and preparation for the position of VP

They're thanking Palin for not providing her son with any options outside of enlisting in the US Army in a non-leadership capacity

They're thanking Palin for a shopping-spree that netted her daughter Piper a designer handbag and high-heel boots

They're thanking Palin for "common sense Conservative Values" that the last 8 years provided in getting us into our current financial crisis

No "Our Country Deserves Better PAC", this Thanksgiving (the Thanksgiving of our founding Fathers) is a time to give thanks to an America of - Hope, common sense love for Country (not party) and stalwart leadership that the promise of an Obama Administration brings.

The Country spoke on Nov. 4th, and the majority disagreed with your concept that McCain/Palin was in anyway "better" than Obama/Biden.

Ya, and Miss Palin was MIA on Veterans Day. She didn't lay a weath or perform any kind of ceremony.
She opted to do her interviews with CNN and Larry King to promote herself. Wow. What an great American.

Then, she chooses (as an official duty) to pardon a turkey and do ANOTHER INTERVIEW (in front of a turkey slaughter). What a fine, selfless Christian woman. Anything to get in front of a camera.

Think those boys with the OurCountry PAC have are thinkin' with their.....­.errrrr...­.little brains?

It's the only reason I can come up with as to why they support Palin. If Palin was an unattractive woman who had an unmarried teenage daughter who was pregnant, do you really think this group would be holding her up as an example of fine conservative values?

I don't think so.

This country is changing and before long, there will be no room left for anti-social behavior and divisiveness that tries to separate the masses. We are moving beyond those negative means of keeping us from coming together. And anybody still left behind in that train of thought will not be a major factor in the political arena after Obama is finished with his 8 years. So if Palin continues to march on the road to domedom, more power to her and those who follow her path. We are not going in that direction so please do not look for anymore travellers. See ya when we see ya!

These Palin apologists are as tenacious as well, pit bulls. They really scare me. I loathe the fact that there is a segment of America that hates everything they don't agree with, including us, the "Vitriol" spewing liberals. They are anti-so-ma­ny-things, they lost the election because normal Americans couldn't keep up with or even remember what the repubs stand for anymore. We sure do know the litany of things they're against though; they can't seem to stop reminding us.

Speaking of Turkeys....(The so called "Conservatives" have really hit rock bottom in looking for a hero figure), if Palin family values, or lack of, if the best they can do, thats really pathetic). Sounds like this movement is more likely looking for a group of people to bamboozle, in the pocketbook with these ads.
