Palin struck back by zeroing in with the real reason that groups like PETA have lost influence and credibility: the double standard they employ, denouncing certain behavior by the people they oppose while excusing the same behavior by people they support. Where was the organization last year, she asked, when the liberal talk show hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, posted a similar photo of a girl standing on a dog? Back then, PETA was AWOL.

She is right about the double standard. And I admire her spunk. In a world of politicians and even former politicians who are so careful about what they say and do that they don't say or do anything, Palin unplugged is a refreshing exception.

She also said PETA should have criticized President Barack Obama, who wrote in a book that he was introduced to eating dog meat while living in Indonesia.

And she complained that PETA has opposed commercial fishing and Alaska's famous Iditarod dogsled race.

"Yeah, you're real credible on this, PETA. A shame, because I'll bet we agree on what I hope is the true meaning of your mission -- respecting God's creation and critters," Palin wrote.

"Our pets, including Trig's best buddy, Jill Hadassah, are loved, spoiled and cared for more than some people care for their fellow man whose politics may not mesh with nonsensical liberally failed ways or don't fit your flighty standards," she wrote. "Jill is a precious part of our world. So is Trig."

But the part of Palin's post that seemed to particularly irritate PETA was her accusation that the company's employees wear leather to imitate "celebrity idols."
