Wait, people and money aren't the same thing? I never knew that. I think the Jewish World Review for bringing this to my attention.

And, you're right I would not support the government forcing a specific individual to do pretty much any act. But I would support considering you (to use the pronoun of the article) an asshole for not offering.

He's referring to tax moneys being used for charitable works (at least, that's my reading of it), and he's against it... In other words: screw the poor, elderly, and disadvantaged.

Oh, I see. My money being used against my will to illegally invade other countries and kill their civilians by the hundreds of thousands is A-OK.

Got it.

It's not Socialism if they don't want it, iSm. If it has to be forced on them, then it's Democracy.

Not for the squeamish.
Too f*cking unbelievable to be true. But it is.
The following is a link to a YouTube clip. SFW but gross.
Spoiler:

Sarah Palin is interviewed while turkeys are being slaughtered behind her.
WTF?!

Alex 11-20-2008 11:07 PM

Obviously bad PR (though I'm guessing she wasn't particularly aware of what was going on in frame), but I'm not clear why people are reacting so negatively. That's where turkeys come from.

In a few days millions of turkeys will be consumed with great gusto. They didn't appear out of thin air as a frozen ball in the freezer section at Safeway.

Gemini Cricket 11-20-2008 11:26 PM

Yeah, but how oblivious do you have to be to do an interview in front of that? How can you not know that's going on behind you?
Granted, that's how turkeys are slaughtered for Thanksgiving. But I mean, even if there was no one killing turkeys behind her, who picks a slaughter area as a background for an interview?
This definitely qualifies as dinglecheesery.

Seriously. She should at least have been shooting them from a helicopter or something.

Gemini Cricket 11-20-2008 11:38 PM

She can see Russia from her house but can't see sh*t going on behind her back.

Or throwing them from one?
