Native Alaskans Not Interested In “Tofu Salad And Pinkberry Yogurt”

It’s quite amazing actually that once Defenders of Wildlife (yes the “extreme fringe group”) announced their campaign to destroy Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, while hiring a wildlife ignorant Hollywood starlet and hiding behind a supposed effort to save the wolves, the media has loved to report on Ashley Judd’s attack on Gov. Palin. News headlines have read like this:

Judd rips into Sarah Palin
Ashley Judd attack Sarah Palin
Hollywood Star Ashley Judd puts Palin in her place
Judd criticizes Palin of senseless slaughter of wolves
Ashley Judd exposes Palin as animal killer

And the list goes on and on. However, as soon as Gov. Palin released a rebuttal announcement about the efforts of the Defenders campaign, the presses ran silent. Days later the media is still fawning over Ashley Judd’s robotic narration of the video being used against Sarah Palin.

I have weighed in on this action several times and you can find my articles here, here, here and here. You can also find numerous articles I’ve done covering Alaska’s wolf management program.

This morning in Michelle Malkin’s syndicated column, “Ashley Judd: Clown in wolf guardian’s clothing”, she also takes Defenders of Wildlife and Ashley Judd to task on their motives.

No matter. As Judd proclaimed, “It is time to stop Sarah Palin.” 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.

Not only will I give Malkin credit for pointing out the truth about the goals of Defenders of Wildlife, but she, unlike few others in the media, actually takes the time to look into and understand why Gov. Palin has to control wolf populations. Malkin says it best when she exclaims, “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.”
