And now, for your far-left/tin-foil-hat-wearin'/ entertainment pleasure:
Ashley Judd goes all PETA on Sarah!
You're gonna love this. I did.
Ashley Judd: Clown in Wolf Guardian's Clothing
by Michelle Malkin
Actress Ashley Judd has finally earned her Hollywood stripes and provided
award-winning comic relief.
With Washington poised to shove a trillion-dollar "stimulus" pork pie down
our throats, we need all the distractions we can get.
I give Judd's unintentionally entertaining performance in a new Sarah
Palin-bashing animal rights ad
two diversionary thumbs up.
The Defenders of Wildlife Action Fund sponsored the YouTube video
starring Judd. They've dubbed their campaign, launched this week:
"Eye on Palin." ***snickers at this*** - Cyg
With all the serious, socially responsible celebrity earnestness she could
muster, Judd decried the aerial hunting of wolves in Alaska, the GOP
governor's state.
"It is time to stop Sarah Palin and stop this senseless savagery," Judd
intoned.
***heeheeheeheehee*** - Cyg
Casting herself as an
environmental expert, Judd attacked Palin
for "casting aside science and championing the slaughter of wildlife."
The video shows a wolf being shot, writhing in pain, with an ominous
soundtrack throbbing and menacing photos of Palin flashing across the
screen.
***gotta get that "shock factor" across without explaining the OTHER
side of the issue, a typical far-left liberal tactic.*** - Cyg
"Riddled with gunshots, biting at their backs in agony, they die
(pause for quiver) a brutal death," Judd enunciates slowly - as wolf
squeals punctuate the video.
Defenders of Wildlife assails Gov. Palin for proposing a $150 bounty for
every wolf killed by aerial hunters.
She's cruel and bloodthirsty, and she must be stopped!
It's a compelling black-and-white storyline.
But like the world Judd inhabits, this plot is make-believe.
Fact is, the policy is intended to protect
other animals -- moose and
caribou -- from overpopulation of wolves.
Alaskans rely on caribou
and moose for FOOD.
(Not all Americans care to live on environmentally correct starlet diets of
tofu salad and Pinkberry yogurt.)
Neither Palin nor the aerial hunters in those scary low-flying planes that
have Judd quivering promote the program out of malice and animal
insensitivity.
On the contrary, they are the true compassionate conservationists. The
bounty helped state biologists collecting wolf age data and provided
incentives to reduce the wolf population when wildlife management
efforts had fallen behind.
(This is about
predator control. But to liberal, gun-control zealots
thousands of miles away, it's all
heartless murder.)
Federal law makes specific exceptions to aerial hunting for the protection
of "land, water, wildlife, livestock, domesticated animals, human life or
crops."
Targets are not limited to wolves. And, as Alaska wildlife officials note, the
process is tightly controlled and "designed to sustain wolf populations in
the future."
***Tree-huggers simply cannot and will not embrace this truth - or the
fact that HUNTERS provide the lions' share of wildlife funding through
license/permit fees, hunting equipment and ammunition taxes. It's
true...it's DAMN true.*** - Cyg
No matter. As Judd proclaimed, "It is time to stop Sarah Palin."
***STOP SARAH PALIN BEFORE SHE KILLS AGAIN!*** LMAO - Cyg
That is the true aim of left-wing lobbying groups and their allies in
Hollywood.
Palin is a threat not to Alaska's wolves, but to the
liberal establishment's
wolves. Defenders of Wildlife isn't targeting the ads in states affected
by
these policies!
They're running the Judd-fronted ads across battleground states.
It's about electoral interests, not wildlife interests.
The eco-Kabuki theater is just plain
laughable.
On a deadly serious note, Judd's selective concern for savagery is not lost
on longtime observers of the activist entertainer's political forays.
A militant, pro-choice feminist, Judd lashed out at the Republican
ticket during the campaign:
"[A] woman voting for McCain and Palin is like a chicken voting for
Colonel Sanders."
Yet, not a peep has been heard from Judd about the serial predators of
Planned Parenthood - who have been caught on tape urging young girls to
cover up statutory rape to facilitate abortion procedures.
***I smell another double-standard! Nope - wait - that was a fart.*** - Cyg
And she won't be starring in any YouTube ads decrying grisly late-term
abortion procedures.
In a starlet's world, "senseless savagery" only applies to the poster pet
of the month.
