"Anti-Second Amendment Cause"? Sarah, Stop Makin' Things Up!

Here is part of what former Governor Sarah Palin of Alaska said in her farewell speech yesterday, obviously taking a final, not too well-veiled shot at actress Ashley Judd: "You're going to see anti-hunting, anti-second amendment circuses from Hollywood and here's how they do it. They use these delicate, tiny, very talented celebrity starlets, they use Alaska as a fundraising tool for their anti-second amendment causes." You may recall that Judd had made an ad for the Defenders of Wildlife against Palin's aerial wolf-hunting policies. You can watch it here: http://www.drudge.com/news/123459/palin-takes-parting-shot-ashley-judd In the ad, Judd condemns Palin for a state policy encouraging the aerial hunting of wolves. “Palin even proposed a $150 bounty for the severed foreleg of each killed wolf,” Judd says. “And now she is encouraging even more aerial killing. It is time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery.” At the time Palin released a statement calling the ad, paid for by Defenders of Wildlife, “reprehensible and hypocritical.” “The ad campaign by this extreme fringe group, as Alaskans have witnessed over the last several years, distorts the facts about Alaska’s wildlife management programs,” Palin said. “These audacious fundraising attempts misrepresent what goes on in Alaska, and I encourage people to learn the facts about Alaska’s positive record of managing wildlife for abundance.” “Shame on the Defenders of Wildlife for twisting the truth in an effort to raise funds from innocent and hard-pressed Americans struggling with these rough economic times,” she continued. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0209/18406.html You know what, some people are OK with the type of animal slaughter that goes on in Alaska and other are not. Maybe those of us who think it's "senseless savagery" as Ashley Judd said don't completely understand what it's like up there in the wilderness but somehow I think there has to be a better way to control the population. Anyway, that's NOT THE POINT. If Sarah wanted to complain about "Hollywood" she could at least have been HONEST about it. That ad had nothing to do with Second Amendment rights or about hunting for food. Remember, "We eat, therefore we hunt"? Sarah, please, STOP MAKIN' THINGS UP!! Annie
