Vegetarian Matthew Scully Wrote Sarah Palin’s Convention Speech
September 10, 2008 · Print This Article
There are a lot of reasons to fear Sarah Palin. As Ecorazzi so accurately put it, “she’s like a buffet of really bad ideas”. Aside from the fact that she’s a global warming denier, anti-environment, homophobic, pro-abstinence education, creationist, and a master at the craft of abusing power, she’s also the antithesis of an animal rights activist. She shoots wolves from planes, for god’s sake. Her house reportedly has a giant pile of caribou antlers outside it, her favorite meal is moose stew and her office is decorated with a dead bear. And ironically, her speech at the Republican National Convention was written by none other than a passionate, dedicated vegetarian.
From Ecorazzi:
In an ironic course of action, Palin’s speech was penned by none other than former Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully. Scully is well known for his vegetarian lifestyle and rather strict views on animal rights. Besides his dietary choice, Scully is also the author of Dominion: The Power of Man, the Suffering of Animals, and the Call to Mercy — an acclaimed book written on the subject of animal welfare. Obviously Matthew is quite critical of the hunting community and has even spoken out against some of the more brutal forms of the practice, including aerial hunting — an activity Palin considers “fun.”
So we have to wonder – what happened, Michael Scully? How could you stomach writing such a speech, to be delivered by such a person? What’s it like to have to totally sidestep your own convictions – not to mention truth and reality – when crafting the fountain of lies and bullshit that came out of this woman’s mouth in St. Paul?

This lady is so frightening. Her list of prejudices are horrific – because that is what they are, not political views. I am Not enitrely disgusted by someone who hunts, if that is how they traditionally eat and are resposible in how they do it- but I really doubt there was any good reason to kill the bear behind her…I didn’t see any stories of her being attacked by it?
Is it just me, or is she kinda like the female version of Dr. Evil ?
I agree.
She is pretty much a thing of nightmares for anyone who is a activist for animal rights. I couldn’t belive it when I heard she shoots wolves from planes. I didn’t like her before and I like her even less now.
If she becomes VP someone shoot me please. I couldn’t bear to watch how horrible things would become for this country.
Take a good look at this link. I don’t know if the amount of insanity enveloping this country has been properly studied or reported on. http://www.vegsource.com/talk/top/ LOOK AT IT. Here is what you’ll find: “Obama is a muslim.” “Obama supports killing babies.” “I’m never visiting this site again because you’re voting for a democrat.” THIS IS WHAT AMERICA HAS TURNED INTO. When and how will this stop?
