“Dear PETA,” Palin posted on Facebook. “Chill. At least Trig didn’t eat the dog.”



You go, girl.

I think she's just tweaking them now.

Hell hath frozen over. An opinion piece by a CNN contributor which defends Sarah and criticizes the double standard of outrage as shown by PETA.

Excerpt: "How uncaring? Enough to use a dog as a food stool. The offender in question is 6-year-old Trig Palin, who became an instant target of supposedly tolerant liberals when he wound up being born to mother Sarah, one of the most popular political figures for conservatives and a constant thorn in the side of liberals.

This time, what put Trig in the liberal's version of "timeout" is a photo on his mom's Facebook page of him standing barefoot on his new pet dog -- a black labrador oddly named Jill Hadassah -- so he could reach the kitchen sink and wash his dish.

The liberal organization, People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, was not amused. PETA blasted Palin in a statement, calling her "hard-hearted" and "bizarrely callous."

The statement read, "It'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."

You know who deserves sympathy? The journalists who got that statement and had to whip up a story based on faux outrage.

Palin struck back by zeroing in with the real reason that groups like PETA have lost influence and credibility: the double standard they employ, denouncing certain behavior by the people they oppose while excusing the same behavior by people they support. Where was the organization last year, she asked, when the liberal talk show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, posted a similar photo(*) of a girl standing on a dog? Back then, PETA was AWOL." (*)linked
