"Sarah-you are a phony" Conservative Blogs NOT Impressed With Palin's Ability To Handle A Firearm

[kpete]

.............

The Conservative blogosphere, usually a forum for cheerleading on behalf the Palin cause, was awash yesterday with suggestions that her outdoorsy image is an elaborate charade.

"I turned on Sarah Palin's Alaska and she just shot four maybe even five times at a caribou and missed," noted a typical comment on the Fox News host Sean Hannity's website. "Needless to say I'm not impressed with her ability to handle a firearm let alone aim it and hit."

Among the basic items of protocol blithely ignored by Palin as she set off into the wilderness in a Rambo-style headband was her failure to take practice shots, or check the sights of the rifle, which duly turned out to be off-kilter. She failed to carry her own weapon, relying on her elderly father and his companion, Steve, to lug it around. When a beast eventually wandered into range, Ms Palin left Chuck Snr to load the rifle, and discharge spent bullet casings.

"What a joke," wrote one viewer on Palin's Facebook page. "I was a fan before the show. No one who is a true hunter lets others carry their rifle or can't load their own shells. Sarah, you are a phony."

1. I think the poor caribou was drugged

and transported into her range. definitely a snuff film

[JBoy]

2. LOL. I read that as Caribou Barbie was drugged and transported into the range.

3. and isn't it interesting that she apparently hadn't the vaguest notion of how poorly the whole thing

would play, even with her fans? This woman must take an awful lot about people for granted.

5. Good point. - n/t

[bleever]

8. And that, inadvertantly, is the only "reality" that was shown.

A tad ironic, isn't it.

[patrice]

14. If I were PETA, I'd leave her alone and let reality speak for itself. nt

[Zenlitened]

4. That's the big thing coming out of this whole "reality" show of hers:

She's never handled a gun in her life before.

She's never cast a fishing line in her life before.

She has spent practically no time at all outdoors.

It's OBVIOUS. And it's all caught on tape (again): She's a complete phony, through and through.

[Lasher]

6. Worst of all, it's inhumane.

You don't just go blasting 5 times at an animal like that, hoping that one of your slugs might hit it somewhere. Unless you don't mind how many animals you leave crippled and suffering.

[driver8]

7. Maybe the RNC can purchase a ranch for her in Texas...

and she can spend her days clearing brush.

9. +1

Credit W for only swinging golf clubs and chainsaws.

10. '"Let's go west." There followed an awkward pause. "That's east," noted her father'

:rofl: The perfect metaphor. Maybe it wasn't Russia she saw from her doorstep, but Canada?

[FedUpWithIt All]

11. Gossip blog has tallied the cost of the hunting trip.

I have no TV so i haven't even seen the commercials for the Palin show but i did see this and thought this should be shared. The fraud runs deep. ;)

Sarah Palin’s Hunting Trip To Feed Her Family Cost — $42,400 or $141.33 per lb. of Caribou Meat! Exclusive!

When Sarah Palin took us on a hunting/camping trip with her dad Chuck Heath on the latest episode of Sarah Palin’s Alaska, she said hunting was necessary to “fill her freezer!”

Hunting for caribou means “food on the table and in the freezer for a lot of Alaskans,” the former Govenor extolled. She opened her freezer to let us see how the Palin meat pantry was getting bare.

“For many people in remote areas of Alaska, there’s no grocery store nearby, we just got to get out and hunt,” enthused Sarah. The only thing is that getting out and hunting for Sarah turned out to be an adventure requiring three separate airplanes to get her to her hunting spot with her father and family friend Steve Becker.

HollywoodLife.com researched the logistics and cost of Palin’s hunting trip which resulted in a bagged caribou, and discovered that it was a mighty expensive way to feed the Palin family, at $42,400 for the trip.

12. They more they get to know her, the less they like her.

Keep it up, Sarah.

[Bandit]

13. She is a phony and yet still the best the GOP has to offer.

I wonder if the Tea Baggers or even the common Republican will take note. Sarah is the cream of the crop and she is as phony as they come. What does that say about the rest?
