Chainsaw-Wielding Sarah Palin Complains About Conservationists With Their “Pretty Little Pencils”

video
» 39 comments

Only one more episode until TLC‘s Sarah Palin’s Alaska calls it a season. But before the fun is over, Sarah Palin, meet chainsaw. On the “Logging” episode of her reality show, Palin learned how to chop down a tree and jumped right in to “one of the most dangerous jobs,” by taking a chainsaw to the tree faster than she can fire off one of her tweets.

And for any environmental conservationists out there, upset with Palin for whatever reason, she’s got a few words for you too:

Conservationists [who] write me nasty letters because I support [logging], usin’ their pretty little pencils and their pretty little stationery, not realizin,’ where do you think your pencil and your stationery comes from? It came from a tree that was harvested!

Conservationists watch out, Palin has a chainsaw and she knows how to use it!

    Fact: Palin looks so Presidential! She has what it takes to crush the democrats in 2012!

  • TangledThorns

    Palin is awesome for calling out the leftie hypocrites! Wish we had a president that is brave and caring as she is.

    Sarah nailed it again….Thank you Sarah for what you do!

    I knew the “Green Weenies” would have a cat after watching Sarah cut down a tree!

  • TrollJuice

    Ha! I hope she runs! She will get crushed! Run Sarah, Run!

    Is that a teleprompter in Sarah’s picture? Hahahahaha!

    You need to get your eyes checked…you have her confused with Obama.

    Sarah is an intelligent, charming, witty woman!

    Did the Drop Out Governor actually fell the tree, or did she just make a cut and stop half way? I don’t know because I actually have a life and spent a portion of it with friends and families and in praise and prayer much of the last week.

    Well, yes it is, and she is really staring into it with those squinity little beady eyes, isn’t she. I’m surprised with all of the mascara and eye make-up she uses her eyes don’t appear to be normal size.

  • writer

    The King spent time in prayer? Wonder if God said anything about his hateful intolerance toward others.

    Look at the picture you dolt. She can’t stare HARD ENOUGH at that teleprompter. It must have a three syllable word on it…..

    Hey, if that position was good enough for James Watt, Palin should have just about as much success with it.

    “No one’s gonna cut her off at the legs,” Wallace claimed. “Only Sarah Palin can beat Sarah Palin, and let me tell you why no one will take her on. Her defenders and supporters, the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity — people I admire — are so powerful on the Right that nobody wants to anger any of those people, nobody wants to end up in the crosshairs, and nobody wants to look like they are unwilling to let her do her thing.”

    Wallace continued: “Just let her do her thing, she is going to be exposed enough to the American public that she will reveal what her nature is. I think her nature has been revealed lately as very prickly, very cynical.”

    I could support that ticket without reservation. I wouldn’t vote for the ticket in November, to be sure, nor would many other Americans, but I think it would make a fine ticket.

  • Thelonious Funk

    Sarah Palin is right. It is impossible to support sensible logging plans and oppose reckless deforestation if you use a pencil.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Lars-Svensen/100001028197161 Lars Svensen

    Super Sarah Palin is right about craven conservationists who carp & cavil. They are just like phony “animal-lovers” who meet at shushi bars and steak-houses for their PETA conferences.

    I remember when her teleprompter failed at the convention. She winged it by memory and hit a homer. The few times Obama has had a teleprompter failure, he’s reduced to a babbling idiot. Yeah, but he’s the smart Harvard guy, while she only went to Idaho, right? Where was all that “smartest kid in the room” shit when he needed it? :)

  • Mr B

    This was another great episode. I like the blend of family challenges, Alaska highlights, and the jabs at the idiocy of washington/media. Sarah Palin is putting the real in reality TV.

    You underestimate the Drop Out Governor. She actually went to four (4) different college, one of them twice, to get her Bachelor’s Degree. Many in academia believe that to be a record.

    Yes, let us make fun of a low-paying, humanitarian profession. Let’s make fun of these ridiculous people who’d take a low salary and work long hours helping their community in ways no government can (and dealing with real systemic tragedies) instead of settling into a comfortable, well-paying office job where they are shielded from reality.

    Really. You don’t know many in academia, do you? Some of us couldn’t afford to go to college full time. I did classes at three separate community colleges over the span of several years before finishing out at the UofW. My BS took almost ten years, I didn’t ask anyone for money, and I didn’t get any grants. I did it on my own, which puts me one up on Obama.

    And that makes you morally superior how?

    You know, I paid my way through school, too. I had to take out loans, but I pay more than the minimum every month. And I also took grants, because there is nothing wrong with using money set aside for the explicit purpose of putting people through school.

    Your statement is a little interesting. You chide King for looking down on someone in regards to how they decided to approach college, and then you implicitly assert that you are better than other students who chose to take different, easier, yet perfectly legitimate, means of funding their education.

  • writer

    King, you should have said (4) different colleges. This instance calls for the plural, not the singular.

    And I’m not indignant. I just found it interesting that in the same statement in which you are criticizing someone for criticizing another’s choice of how they went about higher education, you yourself implicitly criticize others for how they chose to go about higher education.

    Without those conservationists, there wouldn’t be any trees around now for dipshit Sarah to do her folksy photo op.

    And to think she’s a member of the party of Theodore Roosevelt.

  • Darklady

    The woman is delusional.

    I challenge her to present even ONE letter that was written in pencil on stationary complaining about her environmental policies.

    The woman lies. Pretty much with every breath.

    This is just another pro-active attack on folks she knows don’t support her views. She thinks it makes her look tough, and to those of you who think that wanting to bang her makes her presidential material, she does look tough.

    To those of us who know that pretty can be poison, it just shows her for the mean-spirited, closed-minded, shallow woman she is and who is absolutely unqualified for leading a diverse nation.

  • Greg

    Only someone who believed Africa to be a single nation would forget the origins of paper and pencil. Her own stupidity obscures her perception of others critique.

  • Nachi

    She speaks while pointing out how true and deep witchcraftery is & has nothing to do with evil or Satan or excessive black eyeliner or sacrificing newborn babies while listening to Ministry & smoking cloves – and it all helps her with her “spiritual warfare” & the “python spirits” which she claims help her deep intellectualism & “conservative timber” & protect her from “demonic forces” more horrifying than, say, condoms or gay people. Or Charlery Darwin. So there!

    You mean President Obama didn’t wind up in a well paying office job, after being able to save millions of dollars as a public servant and making additional millions from books that I’ve never seen for sale at book stores in airports or train stations. Books that I’ve never seen people reading while I was traveling. You mean he didn’t do that? He is just getting a low salary and working long hours helping his community in ways no government can? When did this happen?

    Oh my gosh, Rich, you’re right! How could I forget that every community organizer becomes President of the United States and writes 2 best-sellers!

    Nice attempt at a deflect, but the fact remains. Community organizers are some of the hardest working and under-appreciated people in our country. They deal with the realities most of us try to ignore, like our nation’s expanding level of extreme poverty. Save a few, like MLK, they are largely ignored. Until, that is, it became vogue to make fun of them in order to diminish their hard work and standing for political purposes. Politics aside, it always makes me sick when people make fun of what community organizers do.

  • Jayson

    What a foolish, uneducated, embarrassing American woman. How anyone can think of her as president one day is beyond me. People the world over have to be laughing at the stupidity of the Americans that are worshipping the ground Sarah Palin walks on.

    Unfortunately, the worshippers of Ms Palin, are not thinking about her brain. Instead Ms Palins worshippers are so obsessed with her looks, how she talks her backwoods idiot slang, including her constant you betcha’s they could care less about her brain.

    Sarah Palin lovers want her running the country? Actually want her dealing with world leaders? Intelligently? Want her dealing with the massive health/housing/financial problems in the US?

    Then be prepared for the worst..

    You are the one who decided to generalize about community organizers, not me. You are also the one who deflected. The point about President Obama being a community organizer is that he had no executive experience. He has no idea how to run a small country, much less a great nation. So, please stop deflecting and then getting on your high horse when you are called on it.

    1. I did not ‘generalize’ community organizers. I explained what they do. Using your logic, I’d be generalizing mechanics if I said that they fixed vehicles. You, however, used the extraordinary case of Obama as ‘community organizer to president’ in order to diminish the important role of community organizers in our society. A community organizer tends to have a pretty low salary. They do it because they want to help, not because they want to be rich. And there’s the important fact that Obama is not a community organizer any more, so your earlier comparison is moot.

    2. I wasn’t referring to that ‘point’. I was referring to a comment made by Batboy where he denigrated community organizing.

    BatBoy said:

    The President is a Community Organizer!

    That comparison carries the implicit assertion that Obama is not intelligent because he is a community organizer. Or rather, a community organizer cannot be intelligent.

    3. It’s not a high horse. I have worked with community organizers and they really do a lot of society’s difficult work. They don’t get much recognition for the good they do and they certainly do not deserve the denigrating remarks coming from people who just want to score political points. I’ve been pissed about it since Palin used community organizers as a punchline in her RNC speech.
