Palin To PETA Over Dog Controversy: 'At Least Trig Didn’t Eat The Dog'

....

PETA blasted Palin for the photo in a Tuesday statement.

"t’s odd that anyone—let alone a mother—would find it appropriate to post such a thing, with no apparent sympathy for the dog in the photo," the statement reads. "Then again, PETA, along with everyone else, is used to the hard-hearted, seeming obliviousness of this bizarrely callous woman, who actually thought it appropriate to be filmed while turkeys were being slaughtered right behind her in full view of the camera."

But Palin would have none of it, and on Saturday tried to turn the controversy on President Obama.

"Chill. At least Trig didn’t eat the dog," Palin wrote in an open letter to PETA on Facebook. "Did you go as crazy when your heroic Man-of-Your-Lifetime, Barack Obama, revealed he actually enjoyed eating dead dog meat?"

Palin continued to bash PETA in a lengthy post:

Mumbo jumbo word salad things I think liberals = PETA say fuck Hollywood gotcha

It was fed to him when he was just a child living in Indonesia. He said it was tough.
BTW...even if he was served dog, what does that have to do with YOUR bad parenting skills and condoning/encouraging the abuse of a family pet?
This woman is disgusting and vile beyond words.

'heroic Man-of-Your-Lifetime'? Or is that simply more imaginary blather from Palin?

'The dog' sounds like she is referring to a piece of furniture.

Such high standards of care for, what should be, a beloved pet/therapy dog.

What an asshole.

I feel sorry for the dog and for Trig. She is using both of them for her own little publicity stunt, to inflate her already gigantic ego. The sooner she fades into obscurity, the better.
