Huffington Posters shocked to discover where meat comes from: "SLAUGHTERED in the background!! Seemingly oblivious to the gruesomeness going on over her shoulder, she carries on talking for over three minutes. Watch the video below to see for yourself. Be warned, it's kind of gruesome."

Palin went to a turkey farm to do the annual "Governor-pardons-a-turkey" schtick. Then she did an interview with local TV. In the background a guy kills a turkey and bleeds it out. Palin had her back to that but it was on camera. Now the New York Times and a bunch of other folks are aghast.
Maybe we have two kinds of people in this country: one that knows where meat comes from, and one that thinks it grows packaged on meat trees.
update: I had several conversations with people who were horrified by this episode. None of them is vegetarian. All of them will have turkey for Thanksgiving. One of them put it like this: "I don't want to see it." I respect vegetarians who think meat is murder and don't eat it. But if you eat meat but can't stand to see what is involved in making animals into meat, you have a little ethical problem that you should work out, instead of trying to arrange the world so nobody reminds you of it.

... and those who know where meat comes from, but still think it's idiotic to use it as a press backdrop.
You may think it idiotic, but that's whey you're like me, with nothing better to do than respond to a blog comment instead of being a VP nominee.
In any case, I wonder if the press will be just as quick to show us the carnage that World President Barak Obama causes in the background of our lives, both economically and politically, when he gets in office on January 20. At least that which we do not experience.
