Liberals baseless attacks on Sarah Palin

I am just astonished on the people who are on Sarah Palin for hunting...


WHICH of you eat a complete vegan diet? DID you know that cattle are slaughtered by a dull bolt being driven into their skull while they stand in a hold gate? Did you know that pigs are strung up by their hindquarters and their throats slashed?  AND a shotgun is inhumane?  Let me tell you, wolves are killed in Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas and most states to keep the numbers down, they attack livestock, and even children, did you know that alligators are killed in Florida because otherwise they would multiple like rodents....


AND the CHINESE and VIETNAMESE eat DOGS...yes, our little furbabies are on the menu! You can see footage of Chinese clubbing dogs to death for the menu during the Olympics, these are served in Native restaurants there in China. 


The French and British eat horse...


SO, now Sarah Palin looks so barbaric! Give me a break....I live in Texas, we hunt, we also like steak...big deal....IF there were NO HUNTERS animal species would starve and be over populated, which is a worse death to starve or be shot?  I am also AMERICAN INDIAN this is my country you people are fighting over! THIS is my ancestors land before the Europeans or Africans got on it! WE survived and lived on the Buffalo....the white man came along and killed the Buffalo just for sport.  The PALINS eat ELK, and deer, and fish....WHICH of you eat SALMON, that is caught mostly in Alaska!


KILLING babies all the way up till their due dates is ACCEPTABLE, that is a CHOICE....who gives that baby a choice? At least a deer or Elk can run, they have some decision...the baby gets NONE....


All of you in your judgement of Palin for being a mother to a Downs baby, for being a MOTHER period, or for her daughter taking responsibility for her pregnancy ( which includes KEEPING not just KILLING a baby) ought to re examine what you are saying....IF you eat any MEAT or ANY cheese or EGGS you contribute DAILY to the slaughter of an animal.....


IF we did not kill or eat any animals wild or domestic we would be over run with animals....


Rabbits breed like every 21 days....and have litters as big as 12...


NONE of you can bring Obama's platform on the economy forward because he doesn't have one except to raise all taxes across the board....


ASK yourself while you are talking about the middle class, WHO gets the blunt of a tax increase when CORPORATIONS are overtaxed?  GUESS WHAT? Jobs are cut, pensions cut, retirement suspended, and wages dropped for the CORPORATIONS to HANDLE the BURDEN of higher taxation! STORES are closed, people laid off! WALMART is a perfect example, they have already said that IF Obama's tax increases are passed they will have to cut benefits and pay scale and jobs, and raise prices to compensate, its SIMPLE economics....


HATE BUSH fine....BUT to blame PALIN and MCCAIN when they are their own people is like blaming Obama for Bill Clintons Whitehouse affair!


THINK....IF no animal died right now from this point forward what would happen?


Go to Cuba and see all the poor diseased dogs and cats roaming the streets, you would want them put to sleep if you saw that, see a herd of deer starving, the young dying because their is not enough food to support the herd, you would then KNOW that nature HAS a BALANCE and that includes hunting for food and sport!

I am a Liberal and I don't have a problem with it, I know it's a way of life for many, especially Eskimos in Alaska. So, take me out of the Liberal mix on this. I know more deer are hit by cars on the highways than shot by hunters during hunting season.

I'm a liberal and you can't count me as one of those who are attacking Palin because she hunts...maybe some other things, but not this one.

No more than than people in the US. I have never heard of horse meat for sale there for human consumption only for dog food. (With an exception of war time even then nobody I knew

Why do we need hunting?


Because we kill predators, that's why. Don't kill predators, and NATURE KEEPS ITS OWN BALANCE.


Wow, what a novel concept: don't shoot wolves from the air and maybe they'll help keep the moose population in check.


(PS--I don't have a problem with hunting, just a problem with rationalizing it and/or hunting merely for trophy. If you ain't gonna eat it, don't kill it.)

Japanese and many Europeans eat all kinds of horse: horse sashimi in Japan; horse tartare or steak in Belgium; pastissada, or horsemeat stew, in Italy’s Veneto. Fears of mad cow disease in recent years prompted a spike in horsemeat prices in Germany and Italy.
