Robin Roberts asks Palin about the controversy surrounding her hunting on her reality show, the criticism from Aaron Sorkin, PETA and others. Sarah responded as expected.
Palin on GMA, "[I] would never shoot an animal for its fur or for fashion". In the background, a bearskin rug complete with head.
So it goes.
So what, she hunts. Fake outrage, reminds me of the outrage when she pardoned the turkey then stood there while Elmer slaughtered birds in the back ground. All this incident does is keep her in the limelight.
You are completely missing the point.
Saying you "would never shoot an animal for its fur" while sitting next to a bearskin rug is lying and hypocrisy. Nothing to do with fake outrage.
and then also making use of the hide is a good thing.
Not that it applies in this case, I seriously doubt Sarah or anyone else had a bite out of that rug.
do you know that hunts bear have ever eaten bear meat? Most won't.
have eaten the meat. But that's only a couple bear hunters and the meat's not very good (I tried it). In general I agree with you, certain species tend to attract primarily trophy hunters.
a lot like pork. Not to offend any Jewish or Muslim readers.
Of course, it may not have been prepared very well. My experience is that game meat that is "too gamey" is usually screwed up during butchering and/or preparation.
if it eats vegetables it is food, if it eats meat it is a pet.

CTHULHU 2012 "Why vote for a lesser evil?"
They'll eat meat if they get the chance, usually if they run a smaller animal off a kill, but are not quick enough to run down most animals (yes they are faster than humans). I've eaten bear as a pot roast, it tastes like greasy beef, but the flavor is good.
...black bears of the lower states are mostly vegetarian, but Kodiaks and Browns eat allot of fish, and then anything else. They love raiding dumpsters, and it has been shown that wild animals, bears, raccoons, etc., love McD's food.
That wouldn't offend Jewish or Muslim readers. Serving them pork in your house might be a little unthoughtful, but they're aware others eat animals with cloven hoofs.
far left loon >.<
Wait a minute! Are you implying that Saint Sarah, Patron Saint of the Brain Dead, is a rug muncher?? :-)
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

But Sarah defenders are like most Republicans. They don't know the meaning of the word, "hypocrisy." The just live it!
that bear was probably a "tax and spend" liberal democrat. Therefore, Sarah had to lock and load on it's socialist ass.
think she hunts. Why would she need an instructer by her side telling her how to line up her shot? What few clips I saw she had the rifle clear up to the top of her shoulder before the instructer stepped in.
But a head-on shot is a horrible choice if you have any concern at all about the odds of a clean kill or making the best use of the meat. A "good shot" will have bullet going lengthwise through the body cavity tearing up all of the entrails. What a mess.
Nothing more to say, apart from the fact that she really looks stupid!
Robin Roberts was sitting in the room with her. A serious journalist would have pointed it out. What was Roberts afraid of, being called lamestream?
is intended to be a factual statement
A better comedian would have asked her to repeat that while lying on the bear.

That would be so Stephen Cobert. Lololplololololol. Jusr rolling around on the bear skin while asking the question. Lolol Haha belly laughs.
I can totally see Colbert doing something like that. After what he did to Bush, I know it's not likely she'd appear on his show. If she were willing, they''d do a special segment "better know a half governor". No matter what, her fan base wouldn't care either way.
Palin going on Colbert's show , now that I would like to see .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
upon walking into the room--"BEARS!" is part of his shtick.
me-oww!
because she suffers from the same disconnect...
me-oww!
thought it came from the Alaska rug shop.
It was made of corduroy.
me-oww!
... at the same place she buys he clothes ---- the OUT OF THE CLOSET thrift shop
If you need funds to pay for essentials, you have a revenue problem
If you need funds to pay for frivolity, you have a spending problem
Maybe the RNC bought it for her as a prop for the interview. I hear she gave it to charity afterward :)
The gun photos, reminds me of Cheney strutting with his prop guns. A follow-up on Whitington shows he had almost died on the table multiple times and still has pellets around his heart. GOP and their guns, making fun of Dems like Kerry and their guns...
...journalists in this country any more.
We have "entertainment reporters" that have all been bought and paid for by the corporations.
Look at her glassy eyes. Ditto Diane Sawyer with the glassy eyes. Everything is sweet and rosy in their lovely little cotton-candy world where the days are sunny and warm and everyone poops rainbows, and if you travel there you have the blessings of the Chamber of Commerce in blessed tourist-land where happiness rains down on people like glittery fairy dust. The two used to work together on GMA, and they suited each other. Both are very good at the "concerned" face and tone of voice meant to convey "compassion" (at least I think that's what they are trying to convey). I just roll my eyes at the grimace and tone of voice.
The bigger questions are: WHY does ABC push all things involving Palin, no matter how trivial the info is, including DWTS with the Palin spawn when every comment about her turned into free PR about Mommy Palin's new book, book tour, and reality TV show? WHY did Baba Wawa interview her for the THIRD (!) time as one of the "most fascinating people"? WHY was that failed interview (which Baba said on The View Palin was unhappy about) followed less than a week later by Robin Roberts' interview? It has been like wall-to-wall Caribou Barbie since the '08 election season was over! No one I know of considers Caribou Barbie "fascinating" in any way, shape, or form. She's dumber than a sack of rocks and in all these years she still can't put together a coherent sentence; still nothing but word salad coming out of that mouth. Anyone who thinks she's presidential material needs to take an IQ test.
I've often felt like I did when George Stephanopolous first started shoving Hillary down our throats as consideration for a presidential run before the 2000 election. ABC and other "political pundit" and "news" shows are shoving Palin down our throats as a potential presidential contender. Just makes me wanna barf.
Palin is delusional if she thinks she can take on Obama and win. Many people are unhappy with Obama because he's caved to the Repukes so often, but if it comes to voting for the lesser of two evils, he wins.
Typical modern day nazi and their total lack of self awareness. Same way my idiot sister joined a nazi group because they were so patriotic because they want to murder Mexicans, keep in mind we're half Mexican and that her skin color is quite dark.
I knew years ago. He'd go off on a rant about the "impurity of the white race" while hitting on my Cuban girlfriend...

She doesn't shoot animals for a fashion statement---no, just for the sadistic fun narcisstic sociopaths get from randomly harming other living beings for no particular reason and to show how powerful they are against defenseless creatures.
"We will find fulfillment not in the goods that we have, but in the good we can do for each other."
Robert F. Kennedy
"[I] would never shoot an animal for its fur or for fashion". In the background, a bearskin rug complete with head.
So Sarah Palin is a true republican. Lies and deceptions for personal gain.
"Government by organized money is just as dangerous as Government by organized mob"

Of course, god forbid, the interviewer should point to the wall behind her and ask "If you don't hunt for sport or fashion, then what is that"?
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

That was most certainly a photo-op. The only question is how much?
If you need funds to pay for essentials, you have a revenue problem
If you need funds to pay for frivolity, you have a spending problem
As I tell people, Sarah Palin has become an actress playing the role of Sarah Palin. She even has a "costume." Look at the picture, she's wearing it. Red top, black pants. Varies with black skirt. She is out to make as much as she can for as long as she can.
and will probably be the next president.
Alkali Bill
So Palin is a bald-faced liar OR she makes a moral distinction between shooting only for trophies and shooting only for fashion - most likely, both are true.
Her "Bear in the Woods" video on YouTube where Mittens was screaming and running away was pretty hilarious.

Remember when she called North Korea our ally? Remember when she wanted to prosecute Julian Assange for Treason, even though he isn't a citizen of this country?

To be fair, they only skinned the bear after selling it's gall bladder to the Chinese.
**GAH!**
Just had the image of nekkid Sarah rolling around on the bear skin. Need...brain...bleach...
Since she doesn't know how to fire a rifle,she's correct.She'd never shoot an animal.
I would never shoot an animal for a photo op to prove what a stolid and upright "Individualist" I am so a bunch of old white shithead multimillionaires will feel compelled to back my deliriously self inflated and utterly fucking obnoxious presidential run that makes most people want to goddamn puke just thinking about.

Palin is a chronic liar , just a fraud .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
I've seen the caribou hunting video. She fires six shots, and misses every time. After each shot, she hands daddy the rifle and he chambers the next round for her. She asks if the rifle kicks (wtf??? She's supposed to be a hunter, and she asks that?) Meanwhile the caribou, contrary to all natural instinct, just wanders back and forth after each missed shot - leading me to believe the animal was either drugged or under some kind of restraint). Finally, for the kill shot, we are actually shown the the caribou in the crosshairs, and we're supposed to be stupid enough to believe she took that shot. So to conclude, Sarah Palin, Great White Hunter? No fucking way! But the way she was waving that high powered rifle around (with finger on the trigger) I was kinda hoping she would have done a Cheney and shot daddy in the face.
If you have selfish, ignorant citizens, you're gonna get selfish, ignorant leaders.

The animal probably was restrained.
I'm surprised she didn't just walk up to it and blow it's head off.

It's a great article. I just got onto Joe last week and I love the guy. I bookmarked his website, and sent him an email cheering him onward.
For any that go there, I recommend clicking "home" and reading some of his other essays. They make you laugh and cry (a little). I didn't really cry, but you might. It's not my Empire crumbing, but the rest of us will suffer the fallout.

Too bad she never goes beaver hunting.

And isn't Sarah a loudly proclaimed believer in the Son of Santa?

"[I] would never shoot an animal for its fur or for fashion".
She hunts because she likes to see things writhe in agony and die, I guess.
far left loon >.<
I cannot stand this woman, so I will not watch the video.
However, I also read that in this interview, she claimed that men get a "free pass" when showing their emotions in public, referring to orangeman John Boner and his crying. She said that in fact claimed that Boner is one of those men who has received a "free pass" over his crying. She said that there's a "double standard" when it comes to women showing their emotions in public vs. men showing their emotions in public, and she said if she ever did so, she was sure the media would bash or joke about her.
This woman is so clueless. If anything, it is just the other way around. Men are taught to be "strong" and not show their emotions in public. In fact, there have been so many jokes from the late night comics about the crying orangeman.
I am so sick of Palin.
i'm a progressive female and grew up on a farm in vermont hunting deer to augment our food supply. we also used the hides for clothing, blankets, and other articles.
i've also hunted elk which are analogous to caribou and can state that it is delicious.
in my opinion the sin in hunting comes from those that merely trophy hunt and throw away the animal's meat. from what i can discern palin uses the whole animal.
yes i dislike palin, but it's not for her hunting.

and GMA for pandering for ratings and having this neophyte on their show. All this does is give Sista Sarah a soapbox in which to tell more lies to her minions.
Plenty of "lefty" blogs emphasize everything she says.
How else do Obama's Democrats get to look good?
Corruption favors the wealthy.
If she really stalked, shot, dressed, and used the caribou for food I have absolutely no problem with that. If you eat meat an animal is killed, and the human species began as hunter-gatherers. Sorkin sounds like he is saying that hunters enjoy killing and torturing animals and he certainly comes off as more than a little righteous. In my opinion anyone who eats meat should at least once kill and dress an animal that he or she consumes, then one can decide if eating meat is the right choice.
They're not sure; they think we may've begun as scavanger-gatherers. But as the Ice Age took hold we turned more and more to meat.
Of course recent discoveries of chimps hunting bush babies has put a spin on that again.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
she doesn't need to go shoot innocent wildlife. Sorkin was right, it is a snuff film. Maybe she will threaten the Rethug establishment enough for them to snuff her.
Does it not encapsulate every f*****g thing that is wrong with this country? 1. that Sarah Palin is famous, 2. that 'mainstream' media interviews her every couple seconds, 3. reality shows of any kind, but one with a potential presidential candiate, 4. she contradicts herself right on camera, and the interviewer doesn't point out that the bear rug is decor.
There is no hope. Collect what you can for the next two years and get ready to move out.
Few people know about this little ditty early in the life of America's favorite imbecile. I know, because I was there.
During the Miss Alaska beauty pageant there actually was precedent that should've raised red flags as to Sarah Palin's character and modus operandi. In fact, as she was answering those obligatory questions about fulfilling her roll if she were to be coronated, microphones in the vicinity of judges 3 and 4 picked up some interesting stuff...'If I was Miss, um, Miss Alaska, I would work tiredlessly for world peace...'
"I'm not so sure about this one Charlie, I think there's more here than meets the eye; seems to be a darker side she hasn't done a very good job of hiding."
"Oh, you think she had something to do with the bra switch in the semis?"...'...an' concentrate on the things that are most important to the citizens of Alaska...'
"Well, you have to admit it's kinda hard to get a 36D into a 34C and have it not stand out in the evening gown event..."
"Haha, it WAS kinda funny watching her run off the stage in them heels, trying to stuff the suckers back in."...'children's books, special needs, teenage pregnancy, juv'nile delinquency...'
"Yeah, talk about wardrobe malfunction; now THAT was a pair o' nipples not to be forgotten..."...'law enforcement and ethics in government...'
"Yeah, well, there were only three contestants left at that point, and I can't imagine that it coulda been Miss Juneau, what with her having her own problems in the talent portion..."...'Anwar and Bristol Bay...'
"Oh yeah, the Crazy Glue on the tuba mouthpiece, almost forgot about that..."...'polar bears and the Alaskan wolf...'
"Well, that wasn't the half of it; whoever it was waterbased her eyeshadow had a cold cold heart..."...'religious diversity...'
"Boy, she looked like a friggin clown when she started crying, black running down her cheeks and dripping off her chin, 'n her lips stuck like that..."...'and give something very special of myself back to native Alaskans...'
"I think we oughta just disqualify her outright and send her back to Wasilla where she belongs."
"Yeah, I know you're right; but Charlie, this'd be a cloud that'd hang over her head for life; she'd be the laughingstock of Alaska. Besides, it's not like she's gonna have any relevance outside her kitchen curtains...where the hell is she gonna get into anymore trouble? Plus she's so friggin..."
"Congenial?"
This imbecile has been an attention / spot light whore all of her life and now thanks to the Republican party she's found a way to cash in big time ... on people who are even more ignorant and dumber than she is . Besides being dumber than a box of rocks she's a complete fraud and a chronic liar .
Insanity , it is what it is , there is no understanding it .
She's so fake, i'm sure she doesn't hunt, doesn't fish and doesn't taske a dump in the woods. C'mon survival Barbie, make a fire bow! "wait, i have to eat that? Gross"
Bite my shiny metal ass.

...and asked her for an Alaskan's opinion on Sarah.
"She's a QUITTER!" she answered...nothing more.
realm of fashion.
Was that the interview? No mention of the multiple misses and the caribou just standing there munching lichen. Of course Palin would have to use a high powered rifle. Sheesh, she's killing an animal. It would be inhumane to use a .22 pistol and shoot it 100 times to kill it. City folk need to get out more.
As for the bear rug comment, it's common to eat the meat and keep the fur. Would the solution be to just toss the fir? Perhaps the author of the comment ought to know what he's talking about. Most hunters don't just sever the head and mount it on the wall while tossing the carcass. In Alaska anyway, that sort of thing is illegal.
...that she's Andy Kaufman, in disguise and running amok... I won't be surprised.
w00t!
robin roberts is no prize pig herself.
An untold number of Americans (and those around the world) have to struggle with cancer and many survive, but live outside the range of a camera and an electronic soap box
But for roberts it was a career opportunity.
Diabolus est Deus Inversus
..have the same first letter as the first word in the title of the segment?
She only kills them for meat-she only hunts them to keep the population down. When will someone simply ask,"do you enjoy killing Sarah?" and "why" That is the motive behind a lot-though not all hunting, and they squirm and twist spouting all the above reasons to cover the fact that "yeah I like to kill-I get a thrill out of it."
She hunts wolves; does she eat them too or sell the hides?
I've seen clips of Palin shooting guns and I'm not impressed.
She didn't know how to load a Bolt Action rifle and the 12 Gauge pump Shotgun the way she held it and it's kick surprised her, I could tell it hurt and laughed my ass off; Sara Palin is not a true hunter by any means.
Firing powerful shoulder Guns requires you to lean slightly forward in to it to keep your balance and Sara almost lost it.
Donaldd
The wrong Alaska politician was in that plane crash on 9 August.
What else could she be but predictable given the inanity of of her existence? Spoiled little rich girl pimped as the ever popular big fish in the small pond; Peter Principled to the level of her incompetence compliments of a republican party that knows how to get a rise out of it's ignorant, semi-literate, and banal "base" and finally biting the hand that fed her by "bitch slappin'" the Boys What Brung Her? Unfortunately, at this stage of our declining empire expect to see a parade of Caligulas, Neros, etc. rising like oily pollution to the heights of governance until the absurdity collapses upon itself. The signs are already obvious; look at the US senate!
for tv ratings
in order to promote an image
that appeals to her true believers
just like bush "clearing brush" on his "ranch"
Hey granny, what's with the pink lipstick of 12 year olds?
