Palin, Wolves, and Bears -- Lipstick Free

[jsteele]

This is a fairly graphic commercial. I'm interesting in hearing people's thoughts:

[Anonymous]

Wow...just wow...OMG is all I can think to say. You're right, it was pretty graphic and tough to watch. I think it's disgusting that she supports this.

[Anonymous]

It makes me feel sick that anybody can see sport in this.

[Anonymous]

I'm glad I read the comments; now I know not to watch the clip. I will never understand how people can justify hunting (which is what I assume the clip depicts).

[Anonymous]

I'll wait and see what the facts are before reacting to something like this. This reminds me of the swiftboating of John Kerry. Hoping to hear from Factcheck.org or snopes.com on this one.

So happy this was not "approved" by Obama. This is a non-issue on my view.

[Anonymous]

I've heard this one before, so I'm sure it's true. But I'm always interested to see what Factcheck.org has to say.

I'd heard before that she herself shoots at wildlife from a helicopter/plane. I don't see what the challenge or fun is in this?

I assumed that at least the hunters would shoot to kill and not just leave the animals to suffer and bleed to death.

Sort of like Obama would let babies born in botched abortions just suffer and die.

I know it's just a human baby and not a wolf cub or something more sympathetic, but still ...

I am also glad it's not an Obama ad. However, with all the Moose-hunting mama puffery, I think this aspect of hunting deserves to be seen.

According to Factcheck.org:

you are incorrect.

Nice try though.

But more like Bush and McCain let US military and innocent Iraqis get maimed and killed in an unnecessary war. The baby thing is an unintended and rare occurrence. The Iraqi things are unintended but not rare. The wolves are intended.

If there were no lying, sensationalizing, commercials against Obama, I would say this goes too far. But you don't go into a knife fight with boxing gloves!

You're coming out of Left field.

Hmmm... is there someone who offers $150 for the aborted fetus' left hand?

[Anonymous]

Not out of left field. Just wish the moral outrage extended to the unborn.

If you think jumbled mess of an article settles anything, you're incorrect. He voted against the cmte bill that had the same langauge as the federal one, so that's disingenuous, and he was more concerned with protecting the language of the pro-choice movement than those poor babies born despite botched abortions -- and the effect of voting against the bill is denying them medical care in their suffering.
