WASILLA, Alaska -- Gov. Sarah Palin has granted the traditional Thanksgiving pardon to one lucky turkey, but the video that shocked some viewers captured what was happening in the background.
As she answered questions Thursday at Triple D Farm & Hatchery outside Wasilla cameras from the Anchorage Daily News and others showed the bloody work of an employee slaughtering birds behind the former Republican vice presidential candidate.
On the video, Palin didn't comment about the slaughter as she answered questions, saying she's thankful that her son's Stryker brigade is relatively safe in Iraq and the rest of her family is healthy and happy. She said she's glad to be back in Alaska.
"This was neat," she said of the outing. "I was happy to get to be invited to participate in this. For one, you need a little bit of levity in this job, especially with so much that has gone in the last couple of months that has been so political obviously that it's nice to get out and do something to promote a local business and to just participate in something that isn't so heavy-handed politics that it invites criticism. Certainly we'll probably invite criticism for even doing this, too, but at least this was fun."

A fun outing, pardoning a turkey while others in the background are getting slaughtered. Not an accidental juxtaposition by the camera crew, I'm sure.
Pardoning turkeys - I've only ever heard of presidents doing that. Sarah? Did someone forget to leave you a post-it note that the election was over 2 weeks ago? Still got 2012 on the brain, and getting some practice on the duties of president?
By the way, how's our budget looking, Guv?
Step away from the spotlight and cameras for a few minutes, and get back to work, why don'tcha?
Vegan : Bad Hunter
So, which turkey did Sarah pardon? Shall we name names?
fcb: I've heard those Tofurkeys are raised in factories under pretty disgusting conditions. People, don't buy a Tofurkey unless it's free-range. Better yet, let the Tofurkeys live!
TAC,
Better yet, let the Vegans eat the Tofurkeys and let the rest of us (who are not vegans) eat the real thing. Ummmm....
Oh, pass the Sweet Potatoes and Dressing please (there's still room on the plate right next to the Turkey).
omg, it's Palin in the news, BASH HER QUICK!!!
Give it a rest already, Lady, she's going to be in the news for a long time, you gotta pace yourself.
when does ted get his turkey pardon?
Well, unfortunately the turkey she pardoned was little old lady from nyc, sorry oldskool,akboss,akpatriot,newsreader,hadrian38,akbearable,suzzie77,
doris, your blogs will be missed.
Gov. Sarah Palin has granted the traditional Thanksgiving pardon to one lucky turkey.
Question: Was this Pardon for a Real Turkey with feathers, OR was it a Democrat ??
ACMan...I couldn't agree with you more. There are a LOT of Governors, Mayors, etc. who do the "turkey pardon". Apparently some people don't have anything better to occupy themselves with than monitoring the Palin family, just HOPING to find something to whine about. Get a life people!
I wonder what happens to pardoned turkeys, I mean they can't be killed from then on, and someone has to pay to keep and feed them... your tax dollars at work?
darn socialist liberal turkey's, stuff them all
Hey, thanks for including me in such good company, Rooster.
they just fatten the pardoned turkey up for Christmas
I heard the 'unlucky' turkeys are washboarded, interrogated, and summarily executed by a combination of electrocution, lethal injection, and one 50 caliber round from a russian sniper rifle. They never see it comin'. They don't even have time to cluck.
REAL SICK STUFF!
what have you heard?
Jroosterdude,
Did you forget about me?
I'm sure this video will re-surface the next time Sarah Palin runs for office.
LadyNYC
There you go again. Facts are important, no matter what you say. “E PLURIBUS UNUM" really does appear on the dollar bill, even if you cannot find it, or do not have the time to find it.
Governors have been pardoning turkeys for a long, long time. And I am not talking about Palin pardoning McCain. Alabama governors have been doing it since 1948. Many governors guilty of the heinous offence of having presidential aspirations have been known to do it. There is nothing new and unusual in this aspect of the story.
And there is nothing new in the “liberal bias in the media.” The national press is skewering Palin because they have just now discovered that turkeys being slaughtered for Thanksgiving might be useful to further their agenda. True, the press has been covering gubernatorial turkey pardons since at least 1948. And true, many in the press were probably aware that millions of turkeys have been slaughtered for Thanksgiving annually. True also is the fact that the press has been aware of both situations for over half a century. But now, the tremendous difference is that there is an opposition candidate to attack. So the press has suddenly discovered the sheer and unforgivable hypocrisy involved in the act of pardoning a turkey for the camera while the turkey “holocaust” occurs as a backdrop.
The only sheer and unforgivable hypocrisy here is not with the act of ceremonial turkey pardons. The only sheer and unforgivable hypocrisy here is with the act of the press allowing itself to be used as a political attack weapon by focusing on trivia, while failing to inform the public about substantive issues.
This is why Tom Brokaw and Charlie Rose can admit that they don’t really know what Obama’s worldview is. This is why neither man seems to recognize the tremendous responsibility and mission of the press in this society.
The only sheer and unforgivable hypocrisy here is with the act of the press failing in its primary mission to inform the public.

I just watched the video in disbelief as she rattled on with the same BS she always rattles on with while the turkeys are being killed right behind her. This film is indicative of the mentality of who we have governing this state. Happy talk while the slaughter goes on right under her nose. (Bush is wonderful and the Iraq invasion/occupation for oil was "God's plan.") I tell ya, the juxtaposition was uncanny. She was so enamored of the camera, she didn't even notice what was going on around her.
Her pardoning of this turkey, however, is nothing compared to the turkeys Bush will most likely pardon in the coming weeks.
Israel eat's more turkey per capita that any other country.Think about it!
Gee, somebody has to KILL turkeys before you eat them? Who'da thunk? Anybody who's offended by this is being ridiculous.
Well, personally I'd like to see the Gov go "Pardon the turkey? Heck no, that's dinner." But hey, only if she likes turkey.
That was probably the most humane way I've seen of killing a turkey. From the way the liberal newminers wrote the artical, I just had to watch. I was seriously let down, due to the fact, I was expecting the Guy, to lay the turkey across a wooden block and behead the turkey and let it run around the yard. Bummer.. Actually it was pretty cool funnel.. Where can I get my Turkey.. yummy.
WHAT? you actually have to slaughter a turkey before you eat it? Dang, I didn't know that. What a crime. I'll have to quit eating turkeys now. Ya, right.
When asked of Sarah Palin what which turkey did she pardon? She points and quotes what McCain said on the campaign trail .......
"THAT ONE "
Why is it that everytime the Gov. Palin is in the media she getting bashed for something? Haven't you Palin bashers gotten tired? Go seek counseling for it aan ave some turkey. As for the turkeys (not you Palin bashers) bring them on for dinner for Thanksgiving and Christmas. I'm getting hungry just think about it. Everytime I see the video it makes me count the days til Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Many of us actually like Ms Palin, as her on-the-surface candor has its appeal, and in some great ways she'll prove to be as effective in her political role as are most politicians on a state level. This remark may not sound or be very positive, but many lwr-48 states have experienced or endured some very bad situations.
The weather in Alaska looks like it may soon become difficult, but it sure looks wonderful to me.
Robt in Arkansas
I am embarrassed and appalled by her insensitivity. I just made two donations as a result:
http://www.upc-online.org/ and www.farmsanctuary.org
Glad she found it fun. Whether you eat meat or not, that's just disrespectful to the animals.
Tell you what, Robt....since you like her so much, send us a couple turkeys already dressed and we'll send our head turkey dressed in her Neiman-Marcus best. She'd fit in very well down there in Arkansas, I suspect.
Did anyone else get it? She, herself, said people will bash her for going on film again..while killing birds in the background...so no surprise. Just another example of the unprofessional childish outbursts she favors. I want to see her explaining the budget and what lies ahead for our economy...not acting like a spoiled child.
Well it appears she pardoned more than 1 turkey, dobieman is still posting. And let's not forget the embarrassed theabowman, good god, "I am embarrassed and appalled by her insensitivity" oooohh! I am going to send my money to save a turkey.com. That should put some money in your pockets dobieman.
I prefer brown meat. I also like the white meat smothered with gravy.
I wonder if Palin prefers brown or white turkey meat. If she says white meat, the liberals might accuse her of racism.
For those of you who think killing turkeys is wrong, you can try eating them alive, but the horrific squabbles may haunt your dreams.
I'm not sure why the President, the Governor or any other elected politician feels the need to pardon a turkey at all. Does it really matter to most Americans that a few turkeys will not be eaten? Is there some great sense of guilt that must be alleviated by this token act so that we can enjoy dinner? If someone doesn't want to eat a turkey, that is their choice & they can eat what ever they want. But in the great scheme of things, I don't see what difference a pardon for a turkey makes either way.
I don’t know about anybody else, but you know, just once, I’d like to see the President (or even Gov Palin) kill, gut & pluck the feathers off the turkey before they cook it, just like we do to ducks, geese or ptarmigans.
The camera crew should be fired. They let their liberal bias set up the Governor for that shot - pure and simple.
How did y'all think those Turkeys died? There really isn't a more humane way than the (killing) cone and a sharp screwdriver to the brain stem. Look it up.
Fact is, this happens millions of times a day, all over the world. But since when have you seen a prominent political figure actually in the same scene? It just doesn't happen, well, it didn't until now.
I'll acknowledge that many of the Governor's performances of late have been cringe-worthy, and she may well have done more harm to the cause than good. But, you all have to concede the fact that this video was nothing more than a childish act of sabotage.
Whats the big deal? Who's shocked that we kill turkeys for Thanksgiving? What was it you thought you were eating? By December 26, no one will want to look at, think about or smell a turkey anyway.
Happy Thanksgiving!! Gobble, Gobble!!
Oyegi: we, as a society, have become way to civilized to go through that much work. But, if things don't turn around, we will have to revert to being hunters and gatherers again. Sure glad I gained the knowledge of self reliance...even though my idea of camping out is in a fully stocked Winnebago these days ;-)
I think she pardoned the turkey because she plans on using it for a running mate in 2012. Palin/ Gobbles for President 2012!!!
I'm not going to bash her for standing in front of the turkeys while they are being slaughtered. I'd rather point out two things: she better not get too close to that funnel, they might grab the wrong turkey and did any of you listen to anything she said and the fact that she sounds like a blubbering idiot?
...darn...out of popcorn already. This is freakin hilarious.
I am sure glad no cameras are present when I'm hunting or preping a steer for slauter. I thought the video was great.
look at the amount of make-up on her face in the top picture and look at what she's wearing in this next picture:
http://divasblueoasis.com/showDiary.do;j...
Is that mysterious man Hitchcock?
Or a Rooster pleased he is not a Turkey?
If you don't like the sight of blood, don't watch it. There is a serious lack of common sense here. I think most people posting here have had their own heads cut off and lost their ability to THINK!!! We don't eat turkeys that die of natural causes, there is such a thing as "slaughter". Don't forget what your fore-fathers had to do to bring you your nice comfortable Thanksgiving. They too had to kill something for the table and it will go on long into the future until all you greeny bunny hugging liberals can come up with something better. Now I'm heading out to my shed to kill my turkey to let off all this steam!!!! Anybody want to watch???
I just watched the video, is that guy staring at Palins **s the whole time or what? LOL
My favorite is lentil loaf, personally.
I didn't watch the slaughter....because for one, they aren't going into MY oven...Now, if they were....I'd probably be the one scalding them and plucking the feathers. But, if I had to I'd nail a few to be sure. Don't get between me and my turkey dinner Gov., I mean it...I like you but I mean it.
Lady NYC...I've been to NYC, it's a cool place, with some of the coolest people I've ever met...so, what happened with YOU? Don't you know your GOV. or is it mayor is out running rampant cheating on his wife w/out a care of who knows it?! NOW, THAT's CHUTZPAH!
Hilarious!
I'm not a huge fan of Palin, but even I have to admit that it looks like she was set up pretty badly in this video. No vast conspiracy, just a couple of local TV news flunkies having a good time. The one who should be embarassed is the producer, how can you not notice this before it gets on the air? Accident? I think not. Oh, and for you animal rights folks out there who think it is unconcionable to kill a turkey before eating it...try to eat one BEFORE you kill it! Just call me first, I would love to pop some vegan popcorn, pour a nice glass of soymilk, and watch the entertainment.
Oh, and NYClady, while you and your buds have been sooooo engrossed with every little move Sarah Palin makes, WallStreet's getting off with the heist of the century and distributing YOURS and OURS and our children's children's billions of dollars amongst themselves. Watch your own turf....call a cop for cripes sake! And tell them to forgo the bonuses and forward them to the auto industry who needs it more than they do.
alaskansheilah, why everyone takes everything soooo personally, I don't understand. Try taking a look around the internet today, this story is everywhere and the first place I saw it was Fox News.
The Comedic analogies are endless.
Like eating pork in a synagogue, “probably invite criticism”.
Like talking about bombs on an airplane, “probably invite criticism”.
Like passing gas in an elevator, “probably invite criticism”.
Those are not turkeys! Turkey comes in nice, neat, prepackaged slices. For ease of putting between bread.
Soylent green is people.
yep, liberal media at it again. No doubt, this will be a story on NBC news tonight. Or, should I say msnbc news. They used to try and separate the two, but no longer. Anyone else notice they now have a "green" msnbc logo on the bottom left corner of the newscast with Brian williams?
"Mongo only pond on game of life..."
HAHA Even if it does re-surface what difference will it make? Most animal rights people are libs anyways. ;) Haha and I guess Fox News put on their site that the turkeys were going into grinders, hmm dog food? They are actually cones to bleed them out before they can de-feather them. Two thumbs way up for Sarah on this one, this is awesome.
Yeah, Ponderous, that liberal Fox News. Don't be such a joke. The story is everywhere, and Palin herself put it out there. It was a KTUU interview, BTW
Don't start with me, tok242. I was referring to the network news, not cable news. Pretty quick to judge me when the nightly news broadcasts haven't even been recorded yet.
KTUU is an NBC news affiliate BTW.
Wow, I'm shakin' in my shoes, Ponderous. My point is you can't blame everything on the liberal media especially when in this case the base interview was a local station and the story has been picked up by most outlets as far as I can see including your favorite Fox News.
Seriously, did you beat puppies when you were little? Your point is irrelevant. My comment was based on network news and how they are aligning themselves with their cable network alliances (msnbc logo on NBC news). I opined that the network news would pick up the story and create another sensational story out of nothing. The fact that a local station did the story has nothing to do with it.
What makes you an expert in television stations, their affiliations, and their decision making process on whether or not they pick up a regional story?
Who said I was a Fox News watcher? Just because I have served you each time you've commented about Prop 8, doesn't mean you know me.
This is exactly the kind of visceral actions we need from our soon-to-be president. The News-minus still doesn't have the guts to report the truth, this article was just offal.
Go Sarah!

Ponderous: Just because I have served you each time you've commented about Prop 8, doesn't mean you know me.

You served me? Wow, it was so quick, I didn't even feel it.
This could have been a great interview except for two things:
1) Being totally unaware that children could watch it on the news and be a little upset at what was going on in the background;
2) Speaking in complete sentances that make sense would have made more sense but then you have to remember the jobs and yes, being thankful about our troops and yes, giving thanks for what we have up here in Alaska, and of course the economy. ?????????? That made as much sense as her statements. The whole thing could have been done in a professional but light hearted manner and gain her back some followers.
I can't believe this got so much reponse. Must be cold out.
tok, are you making passes at Ponderous now?
Best be careful you know how riled up those gun totin' bible clingers get!
*LMAO*
My pleasure to serve, newsreader. ;)
The Camera personnel are as*holes. She grants them in interview and they pull this? I hope someone gets fired.
Assumption, gotta love it. Assumption makes an "ass" out of "u" and, ... um, Uma Thurman.
For the record, I don't own a gun, not a member of the NRA, and don't go to church.
What was that, Newsreader? Don't know how to attack unless you can label someone and put them on your shelf of hate?
Frank_Costello, agreed. The news crew from KTUU should have framed it differently. Would have been an easy fix.
Man, have some turkey already and take a chill.
"She grants them in [sic] interview..." and fails to notice the light in which she might be portrayed if she conducts said interview in front of the slaughter machine. That, my friends, is much more relevant and chilling than whether "KTUU should have framed it differently."
It's not the fact that turkeys are killed before eating them. It's the fact that she was pulling a publicity stunt that backfired.
I haven't been to that turkey farm, and can't say for sure, but I'd venture to guess that the turkeys there are treated better than at the huge factory farms in the lower 48. The funnel method they use doesn't look like much fun for the terrorized animal, but it's much neater than the way my granny used to do it on the farm in South Carolina, which was to chop the head off and let the thing run around with blood spurting out all over the yard.
Oyegi - I agree with you that this is one of the stupidest traditions America has. The ceremonial pardoning of one animal while millions of others are slaughtered on factory farms is incredibly hypocritical, but it sure represents the hypocrisy of holiday itself. The term "Thanksgiving" has a horrible history in America that has been as glossed over as much as Columbus Day. http://www.manataka.org/page269.html
One of the articles I saw said that the camera man asked if she wanted that as the back drop and she said "no worries"....
Guess no one will be getting fired.
Yes, no worries to that as a back drop, but I don't think even Gov. Palin thought the guy was going to continue butchering the turkeys while she was being interviewed.
Yeah, you're probably right, Gov. Palin didn't think.
I saw on another site that "The turkey will be donated to "Good Sheppard Lutheran Church" in Wasilla." Does theturkey need religion? What is a church going to do with a 'pardoned' turkey?
I think the pardoned turkey is going to the Alaska Zoo (at least that's what the "libby" KTUU site said)
I didn't read a quarter of the comments...but did anyone catch the last sentence Palin said? She predicted people would bash her for a simple event. I haven't been for her lately, considering the stuff she's done, but come on people. She's human, not a robot. I do hope she is back at her office on Monday, to continue her job...a day to participate in holiday cheer isn't going to stop Alaska from functioning...so I don't see all the harm in it.
I'm sure glad I'm old and retired. Who else would have the time to go through this drival. Palin pardons a turkey at Thanksgiving, a time honored tradition for Presidents, Governors, even some town mayors and we spend this much time commenting on it. There's got to be a lot of retired liberals out there with not much to do. Retired, I am, but certainly not a liberal.
CPW
tok242 it appears there is some discrepancy between news releases about the bird's future then,... http://www.kinyradio.com/juneaunews/late...
interesting that the news reports can't agree. (interesting but not very surprising)
true that. Somehow I'm guessing the turkey is going to end up right back in the same pen with the others.
Our People:
Lots of Adults in the USA almost wet their pants by reading a Story about a Turkey getting killed for dinner.
People across the Pond:
Islamic Terrorists start teaching kids to Kill Chickens near age 4, so they are use to Blood. The Trainers tell the kids that killing Infidels and Jews are just like killing Chickens, and they bleed the same. The Terrorists Trained kids by making them watch films showing US military vehicles being blown up and men falling to a snipers bullet. And then the Kids are telling us, they cannot wait until the day they can serve Allah by dying in achieving a martyr’s death....by Killing Infidels and Jews (You are the Infidels).
The U.S. Soldier’s stands between you, and them.
If you get time, get in touch with the Fort and ask how you can help a single soldier over the Holidays
Turkeys are just euphemisms for liberals
Hey, the camera crew asked her about the backdrop and she said, "no worries." Palin continues to display ack of common sense. And I grew up on a farm!!!!
This is awesome; glad she isn’t the vice president. She would be in South Korea with North Korea executions as the backdrop. What an idiot!
We are doomed.
All these comment are from a State that is thought of as hunting, fishing and trapping. Where are you people from, California?? If you don't think the media is prejudice against Republicans??? The media knows what they are filming. Oh well, I'm beginning to understand how Obama got elected.
Glockmod23. Thank-you for a reminder of what is really going on. Unfortunately, we got people here who still might not believe it. Might want to add the people teaching their kids that killing chickens is like killing Jews are trying to tell the world that the HOLOCOST NEVER HAPPENED. If I was back on active duty, I'm not so sure I'd want to go over to some of their houses..One more thing. Some of the best Thanksgivings And Christmases I've had have been spent volunteering at the rescue mission serving the needy. Most of the other volunteers were G.I.s
Politics aside, the piece is hysterically funny. Come on, where is everyone's sense of humor? ROTFLMAO.
Wait_for_it, I totally agree. This has been one of the most humorous threads on the dnm website in a long, long time. Didn't have time to respond to it throughout the day, but I kept checking in, and really enjoyed all the comments.
Glockmod, my hat's off to you. Thanks for the reminder that it's a U.S. soldier who stands between us and those who would martyr themselves killing infidels - i.e., all of us. Thanks for the suggestion as to how we individuals can help a soldier over the holidays. I plan to take you up on your suggestion.
But you made me think, Glockmod. In pointing out how the jihadist extremists desensitize their young to the shedding of human blood, it got me to thinking . . . the religious extremists aren't doing that in our own country. But the capitalist extremists are. Every company that produces and promotes - for the sake of sheer profit - the extreme violence found in the video games that our young people relish to play every day, all day . . . are they not, in effect doing the same thing as the jihadists? Every company that produces and promotes ultra-bloody slasher/horror movies, are they not doing the same?
And ok, I'm sure someone out there is ready to argue that they aren't the same at all, because of the *sources* of production and promotion. All I'd like to do is point out, maybe the end result is as important as the source.
The end result being the desensitization of youth to violent bloodshed. I'd say that both hemispheres - east and west - are comparably at fault, and that all roads lead to Rome, or in this case, the tragic and needless devaluation of any human life.
TAC - how about a little of your humor...I can't believe where this is going. It' s a funny bit of news footage. You all need to lighten up a little, the stress will kill you.
But jeez, Louise, let's get back to the humor, shall we? It's been generally missing from these blogs for all too long of late.
So, um, where will our pardoned turkey end up? Back in the DNC, or RNC? Or on some wildlife preserve, strutting his stuff, or in all likelihood, strutting his stuffing on our dinner plates next week? I have to admit my appetite is being whetted at the latter prospect. Mmm. Add some cranberry sauce, will ya?
As for the Big Bunned One, no problem if she wants to take a time out for a lighthearted outing, however macabre the background scenery may be. And yes, I do think the turkey executioner was *totally* checking out her *ss. Gotta love it!
But, um, Sarah dear, there's more to being governor than irrelevant photo ops. Seems to be something you understood well before August of this year. Wanna reconnect with your old self?
How's the state budget going these days, Gov?
Have any of you seen Jesus Camp? If you don't think the religious extremists in this country aren't preparing for war of one kind or another, then you're not paying attention.
LadyNYC has it right though. I like my leaders to be able to spot a bad photo op when they see one (Mission Accomplished anyone?), but I suppose he or she would have to stop gobbling to be able to see what's going on around him or her. That's what I'd like our governor to do--stop gobbling to everyone and focus, focus on the job at hand, not the job of the future.
Sorry I couldn't give you more humor Wait for it, I used most of it up on my volleys with Ponderous earlier. :)
tok242 - check out Joel's Army. Talk about scary. They want to make The Handmaiden's Tale a reality.
Wait_for_it: I was on it at 7:40 this morning. Came home to a plumbing issue, so I'm just now getting back.
There are more comments here than I can gobble right now, so I'll have to wing it. I tried pecking around for a few ideas, but couldn't come up with scratch. So I think I'll wattle over to the fridge and make a turkey sandwich. And maybe have a shot of Wild Turkey while I'm at it. Then maybe I'll get back to this turkey shoot.
Oh, and on the subject of Tofurkeys, this is an Onion classic from a few years back:
Virulent Strain Of Soy Flu Traced To Single Tofurkey
SAN FRANCISCO—A virulent strain of soy flu has been traced to a single tofurkey at a Bay Area food-processing factory. "An investigation of Green Earth Foods has located the bird-shaped loaf of firm bean curd from which the infection originated," said Dr. Julie L. Gerberding, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. "To prevent further spreading of the disease, all tofurkeys in Northern California are being quarantined and destroyed." Gerberding said it appears that the soy virus was not transmitted to the factory's Spaghetti & Wheatballs Microwaveable Entree division.
And BTW: Anyone remember about ten or twelve years ago when the Bible Baptists gave away free chicks on Easter? Let's dredge that back up, because then we can combing Bible Baptist-bashing with animal rights, two of my favorite topics when I need a good laugh.
Any takers?
Animals that you kill yourself just taste better. Most liberals think that food comes from a store as directed by government regulation. Do you know that only 5% of the American population is capable of fending for itself in the event of an extended break down in general services. Imagine 100 million liberals crying, "who will feed me". Don't believe me, then explain Katrina and New Orleans.
