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.

It's astonishing to me that anyone could take Gov Palin seriously. The more she talks, the more she reveals her lack of intelligence. The big bad media, or any supposed conspiracy is the culprit...she is doing this herself!

Some conservatives continue to insist that if Gov. Sarah Palin had been free from her handlers, she would have been able to inspire and win the majority of electoral votes in a presidential election between her and Barack Obama. When may I commence laughter? The irony is that some conservatives have begun to compare Governor Sarah Palin with former President Ronald Reagan. This makes me wonder, if Reagan was known as the “Great Communicator” should we then call Sarah Palin the “Great Obfuscator”?

And didn't one of McCain's advisors call Palin a "whack-job"?

'Thank you for your articulate advocacy". LMAO...

Obviously the people behind the Our Country Deserves Better PAC have too much time and money on their hands.

"carrying to full term her baby boy, Trig, rather than opting out for an abortion as some would have had her done."
This is what she is praised for?? The woman who hid her pregnancy as long as possible so she could run the hills and "thrash" her guts without anyone knowing what she was really up to? The one who waited to give a speech after her water broke, took a loooong plane ride, then a long car trip after that without ever ONCE having a physician check the health the baby??? She was hoping for a miscarriage. An abortion from her God. And for that the conservatives praise her.

The GOP seems to have a habit of making heroes out of frauds. When sensible people would realize their mistakes and move on, the GOP doubles down. Where is the "Thank you Joe the plumber" ad?

Are you sure this isn't another SNL skit?

If this is all the GOP has left in the chamber, they are as dead as the Whigs.

These folks totally miss the point that no one "would have had her" opt to abort Trig - the whole idea of reproductive choice is that the decision would have been hers and hers alone.

Grace and dignity; aritculate, hopeful advocacy??? lol Common sense? Oh yeah, she warmed a nation's hopeful heart with her inspiring rhetoric alright. "Ki l l him," "Te rr or ist," "Off with his head." Yes, a grateful nation gives thanks governor that you lost, and are now back in AK among like minded folk, where you belong.

And wasn't her son given no choice but to "serve," i.e. that or the pokey?

Thank you Sarah Palin for making the 2008 Presidential campaign the most undignified ever - your name calling - terrorist, communist, socialist - must have felt real good. Putting down Community Organizers must have been uplifting for you. In fact you had no class whatsoever - you don't even understand why Barack Obama won. You have no idea what makes Obama so inspiring. Even when he refused to take the bait, and call you many deserved names, you did not catch on. Your pettiness was all too evident. Now a bunch of dimwits want to honor you. For sure you don't deserve any accolades. You will remain the butt of late night humor for a long time to come. Your goose has been thoroughly cooked. Good night!

All right, everyone. Enough is enough.

If you live in Alaska as I do, write your state legislators and tell them Alaska needs a new Governor - NOW, not two years from now. Alaskans need to do whatever is necessary to get a new head of state as soon as possible.

If you don't live in Alaska, write everyone you know there and encourage them to do the above.

Everyone is tired of Sarah.
