Introduction by Chad Love
If you really want to lay your finger on the pulse of the American people, forget the media. The most dead-reliable snapshot of what's on our collective mind this time of year is found not in a newspaper, a website or on television, but at the Halloween costume party, where once a year we - deliberately or not - revel in our deep-seated fears, insecurities and morbid fixations.
And judging by the following photos, this year New Yorkers fear Sarah Palin more than Freddy Krueger, Jason Voorhees, the bear market and Darth Cheney combined. Why? Because she (rightly or wrongly) is the embodiment of the vision most New Yorkers have of the great unwashed masses that inhabit those frighteningly large and mysterious areas that begin somewhere past the Hudson River. Take a look and see for yourself.

That's a serious pink gun.
Wow, it took some balls to post this before the election.

When is this woman going to leave us alone? I think it's time to slip back into obscurity.
I don't get it. What's to hate about Sarah Palin? She's hot, she's a huntress, she shoots big guns and she's obviously a pro-gun republican. Truly a dream girl.
Hello there BassMaster are you going to actually blame Sarah Palin for being spoofed in these photos?
The people doing the spoofing are the ones who should go away. They are too easily led in their likes and dislikes and allowed themselves to spew hate at a very fine lady and Governor while supporting an inexperienced community organizer to lead this great country. When President Obama begins taxing the fool out of all of us and stripping us of our 1st and 2nd amendment rights just maybe we will begin to appreciate what Sarah Palin really stands for. In the meantime keep drinking your Kool Aid my friend.
When are they going to stop? Just because she's cool and can probably kick other politicians a**?
The people who dressed up here are un-educated LIBERALS. Apparently people don't care or think to highly of the 2nd Amendment. I do not understand why people dis-like Sara so much. She is a genuine person who stands up for what she believes in and is a strong Governor.
Palin is very pro-gun, a hunter, a fisher, and knows about conservation. I would definitely vote for her in 2012 if she decides to run.
We got a community organizer whose middle name is Hussein, has released terrorists from Guantanamo, and is most likely going to mess with the second amendment, and will most likely be successful thanks to a democratic Senate and House. I know that I voted for the right guy though.
dumbassses from new york pprobably never held a firearm
man i miss plain. why god why
Hey Sarah,
Cee U Next Tuesday!!
As lawful gunowners, WE must ubderstand that the theme in these photos is based on a culture where the majority of exposure to guns is at the hands of a criminal. If these same individuals that think it is cute to create this type of negative propaganda were exposed to the positive culture that treats guns safely, has a good time enjoying the shooting sports and loves the smell of the woods on the first morning of the big hunt, you would see a shift in the thinking of some of these individuals. I hope they find their way.
Yankee B@#$#es, i would like these tree hugging, liberals come on down to alabama. They would be hugging those trees foreal, if you get the flow. Plus all of those girls are just jelious.
All these anti-hunters don't understand that hunting is not bad. It keeps the animal population undercontrol, if their weren't any hunting it would be very dangerous for the animals because their would be food shortage, lack of space, we would see more that lie dead on the highways, etc. Since 1964 over 15.4 million acres have been saved, not by environmentalists, but by HUNTERS, now that is great.
New Yorkers don't hate hunters. They hate morons and hypocrites like Palin. How else can you explain someone who claims to be an outdoorsperson but supports the pebble mine on the Bristol Bay tributaries that will ruin salmon and rainbow spawning grounds, probably forever.

To Nycflyangler,
There have always been two lines of thought in conservation: those, like the founder of the Sierra Club, who believe that all nature is a temple and should be preserved and kept off limits - only for viewing pleasure; and, those who believe in responsible exploitation of our resources while maintaining as much of the environment as possible during the process and restoring the land afterwards. Just because one believes in one or the other does not make that person more or less of a hunter/fisher/outdoorsman.
Right now, the only thing you and I know about that pebble mine is that it is having an impact on the environment; there's nothing to indicate that it "will ruin salmon and rainbow spawning grounds" forever. Quit with the hysterics and hyperbole.
Oh, and I forgot, I have never seen a more ignorant and out-of-touch group like New Yorkers when it comes to hunting, fishing, conservation, and the functioning of the environment. They can read all the feel-good environmentalist rhetoric all they want, it doesn't make them experts on the environment. I think its safe to say that most of those people in those photos have no idea what they are talking about.
