I see that on the "Huff" site, someone was appalled that turkeys were being slaughtered. Where do people think their Thanksgiving turkeys come from? And why don't they give thanks that there are people who do the gruesome job of killing turkeys. The method used seemed quite humane to me. My family (in Europe) used to keep chickens and they were killed by wringing their neck or slitting their throat and letting them bleed to death. Welcome to the REAL world, turkeys of the unreal Left!

Hi. Yeah. I'm a liberal, and I used to work on a farm, where we had to kill animals, and I had to kill several sheep, personally, by cutting their throats with a xacto-blade-like knife. Some thoughts:

1) Killing sheep with a knife was kind of an unpleasant experience.

2) If you're shooting a meaningless promotional video where you are "pardoning" a turkey (which is already a pretty meaningless exercise), then...

3) ...It sort of undercuts the point of said meaningless promotional video to then shoot an interview in front of a shot of live turkeys having their heads chopped off.

4) The real point here, which you've missed, is that Sarah Palin can't really do much of anything right, and that she lives in such a self-created bubble that she can't even recognize when things are going wrong. Like, maybe, perhaps, she could have suggested to the cameramen, "Hey, maybe we should move the site of this interview."

5) Thank you, Mike M. for again instructing us 52% of Americans who voted for Obama as to what the REAL (as you put it) world is. Thank god that the 35% of the public who actually like Sarah Palin are around to hector and talk down to the rest of us.

6) Happy Thanksgiving.
