From the department of awkward timing: Days after video of Sarah Palin's interview in front of slaughtered turkeys became a web sensation, the conservative group Our Country Deserves Better releases a Thanksgiving-themed ad "thanking" Palin.

The opening of the spot features an announcer praising Palin...in front of images of roasted turkeys.

Some text from the email announcing the advertisement:

Friends, too many times we've seen politicians who "sell out" to the media or political pressure and succumb to politically correct, liberal positions, rather than fight for conservative beliefs. But Gov. Sarah Palin has stood steadfast by her conservatism, both in public as a politician, and in her own private life - carrying to full term her baby boy, Trig, rather than opting out for an abortion as some would have had her done. She believed in the value of that life, just as she believes in the greatness of America.


It's time for us to stand behind Sarah Palin now, not just to support her, but to also show other politicians that if they take the risk to champion conservative ideals, that they will find support from we, the American people.

2. THANK YOU GOVERNOR PALIN!!! For A Laugh-A-Minute Campaign in 2008

Here's hoping for the same in 2012!

[nugzie]

3. hahahaha

is that for REAL??

[Amerigo Vespucci]

6. I kept waiting for the punch line, and it never came...

...especially when listening to the tone of each person's voice. These folks are just way too into Sarah Palin.

:rofl:

[DesertRat]

10. I was waiting for, "thank you for helping elect Barack Obama!"

:rofl:

[rebel with a cause]

26. Funny, as I listened to the tone of each person's voice

I kept thinking......cheap paid actors. ;)

These folks to me were way to rehearsed to be real. And the dude in the cowboy hat, golly gee, that arm action was just a bit too much. :rofl:

[Jack Rabbit]

12. Those are the people who still think Bush is one of our great presidents

Bush was neither great nor was he president.

[badgerpup]

21. Just what I was wondering...

...so over-the-top...did you watch the video?

Please, tell me this was very heavy-handed :sarcasm:...

:hide:

4. ."..support from we, the American people"? ?

"Instead of opting out for an abortion as some would have had her done"??

Geez, what a bunch of ignorant idiots. They really should edit these things before they make them public. Although, doubtless none of their targeted audience would know the difference.

I liked what Jay Leno said last night about Sarah babbling in front of the turkey slaughter--after a few minutes of listening to her voice, the turkeys were saying please, just kill us!

That whole thing was of course reprehensible, but then that's pretty much how I feel about Sarah and her ilk, period.

29. they really do believe being pro-choice means forced abortions...

Who is this "some"? Do such people even exist? If you're going to be taking care of the baby, whatever its condition, it's your decision as the mother.

The "of we, the American people" is likely a botched attempt at referencing the Constitution. "The country doesn't belong to George Bush, it belongs to We the People." No one ever says "Us the People" in that context, even when it's grammatically incorrect to use "We." Breaking it up with "the American" and not capitalizing it, though, botches it up and makes it very clunky.

5. Palin and articulate in the same sentnce is just...wrong.

7. Thank you Govenor. You were the very best thing that could have

happened during an election. You were the gift that kept on giving. Happy holidays.

[TheEuclideanOne]

8. Thanks for demonstrating that if you are Pro-life candidate in the Republican party

that you will get support. You did this by showing that you can be a dismal embarrassment in every single other category that people might care about and they still support you. This demonstrates that those single-issue voters really do care about NOTHING else. Only YOU could have demonstrated that so perfectly. Thanks!

[southernyankeebelle]

9. Thanks but No Thanks

Your pac shouldn't say the country thanks you because it doesn't. It should have said the republican base support and thank you for all the hate you brought forth to the country.

[FVZA_Colonel]

11. Democrats would like to thank her as well.

Very, very strongly.

[stlsaxman]

13. That lady at the end should have said "Gag me with a spoon!"

:rofl:

[Ken Burch]

14. Was the woman who appeared near the end of this the same woman

Who wouldn't give out Halloween candy to Obama supporting kids? It sure as hell looked like her.

[polly7]

15. This is the lamest ad I have ever seen in my entire life. n/t

[BREMPRO]

16. OMG that was SOOOO cheezy! bad acting and all.

[ashling]

17. That'll make your Thanksgiving meal

back up on ya, you betcha!
:puke:

[nolabear]

18. Salvador Dali does Norman Rockwell

Thank YOU, Sarah Palin, for the belly laughs, the moments of sheer, unadulterated terror, the forehead slapping incredulity, the true American Theater of the Absurd that has provided the counterbalance and sideshow to a GREAT upcoming administration. Keep those hits coming; we've got a lot of howling and pointing yet to do.

[Seldona]

19. Did that appear to be a SNL skit to anyone else?

They have finally done it. They have become their own parody. One can hardly tell the difference between the two anymore imo.

"As you sit down to your turkey, or moose..." One of the funniest things I have ever heard a repuke say, if inadvertently.

:crazy:

[underpants]

22. Three of the people in the ad are OurCountryPAC spokespersons

25. I didn't think it was fake.

It really did look like parady to me. Funny though they were totally serious, you know?

Off to the wilderness with them. lol

[dee_from_ott]

20. what the hell is this?

get out of here you mental patient!

[crim son]

23. No, no NO!

:rofl: It's a joke, right?

[Divine Discontent]

24. oh, heavens to mergatroid.... this is definitely an SNL commercial quit kiddin' me that it's real

it's so embarrassing. why do the nuttiest of the fundamentalists have to be so tackyyyyyy!? The fakey sugary behaviors make me gag. I am a Christian, and my Christian friends do not act like that - of course, I don't go to a nutty fundamentalist church or hang around with people that act like this. HA

what a bizarre commercial to make for the losing VP candidate!!!

HA

27. At a time when so many are in need of food and shelter, I'd just like to say FU you to PAC for

wasting money on that repulsive piece of propaganda.

[Vroomfondel]

28. Gurgle gurgle...

I just threw up in my mouth a little.
