Hollywood filmmakers are ruminating about taking on the 2008 political season. Towering personalities, scintillating stories, and epic clashes abound. The stories of the 2008 political campaign are pretty stimulating. We had the aging Democratic establishment in the form of the Clintons taking on the fresh young face in Obama, not to mention the first black candidate of note. We also had a close fought Democratic primary that went to a nail biting finish. On the GOP side we had the amazing emergence of the hockey mom from Alaska. Heartwarming family woman, popular governor, tender mother of a special needs child. A self-made woman from humble beginnings. Seems like some stories that could make for some compelling movies, eh?
So, how is Hollywood looking to treat these incredible stories? Would you be surprised that the Clintons and Obama stories are set for high drama, earnestly told... and Palin's is for comedy and satire? Would it shock you that only Sarah Palin is to be ripped, attacked, made fun of and satirized? I didn't think you would.
The New York Post had a Page Six report with a few short quotes from various Hollyweird screenwriters on the subject of which 2008 political campaign story would make a good movie. Naturally, all these people could see out of Governor Sarah Palin's incredible story was something to ridicule.
"I'm always down for politics as humor," "Milk" scripter Dustin Lance Black told Variety, adding, "I'm also interested in great characters."
Tom McCarthy, who wrote "The Visitor," is more interested in the tale of hockey-playing hunk Levi Johnston, who knocked up Palin's daughter Bristol.
"This young man gets his girlfriend pregnant and ends up on the Republican platform at the National Convention," McCarthy said. "This 17-year-old kid from Alaska, standing on the stage - there's a dark comedy in there somewhere. He was like a deer in the headlights."
As an aside, I have to laugh about the first quote above from Black, the screenwriter of "Milk." This guy may be "interested in great characters" but he is in no way interested in the truth. His screenplay for "Milk" is one of the biggest pack of lies ever filmed. Little of what he wrote there happened in real life, at least where it concerns Harvey Milk's real personality and the regard with which people held him during his tumultuous lifetime.
In any case, it isn't surprising that Palin is the one that these "entertainers" want to slam Palin. And the other political stories of the season. Naturally Hillary and Bill's "great relationship" came in for one screenwriter's focus and the Obama grassroots effort seemed amazing to another. Only Palin came in for ridicule.
What we have here is further proof of Hollywood's hatred of the average American and its disconnect from the majority of the country. Many millions of people in this country found Sarah Palin to be a breath of fresh air and look forward to seeing her further her political career. Yet what does her name evoke in Hollyweird? Nothing but snide comments and attacks.
They are far outside of the mainstream in Hollywood. Far outside of it.

The Muslim Brotherhood, led by Yassir Arafats uncle who was the Grand Mufti was the prototypical arabic nationalist terrorist organization that started the whole ball of wax rolling.

By your definition since the US Govt does not currently recognize a certain former terrorist organization (Fatah etc) as a certified group thus terrorism did not occur in its name denies its history.

February 9, 2009 - 10:06 ET by jistincaseI think that it is entirely possible that PT used to go to the same school as Palin and he had a huge crush on her. One day knowing that the prom was coming up he decided to ask her to the dance and when he asked her she took one look at his weasely self and said NO! Having his tender little ego forever crushed he vowed that he would get back at her some day some how. More than likely every girl that he ever asked all gave him the same answer which just goes to show his hate for women, especially smart intelligent women. Such a small minded little man.
ROFLMAO!
February 9, 2009 - 10:25 ET by PopularTechI've never had a problem getting a date, least of all to the prom. It is more like you are describing all the desparate men who are now fawning over her. When you have a beautiful women in your life you can think with you brain instead of your pants.

February 9, 2009 - 06:53 ET by NavyBuckeyethat you can pull polls from the liberal based news orginazations and post them on NB. Every single example against Palin you use is from a known liberal biased news source. Irony at its greatest.
The exact point of this site is exactly what you have just shown. Most people I talk to that are conservatives believe the opposite of what those polls say: John McCain lost the ticket for him and Palin. I think, as do most of the other convervatives I talk to, believe if Palin was the main ticket she would of won. More conservatives would of came out to vote isntead of sittig this one out.

The fact of the matter is
February 9, 2009 - 07:23 ET by NewsbusterbrownThe fact of the matter is that the Left and you constantly attack her (for different reasons, since you're a libertarian) because you are afraid of her. Name a vice-presidentaial candidate that has been in the news as much as Palin months after the election ended. There are none.
If you really thought Palin hurt the Republican party last November, you wouldn't waste all of the typing and cutting-and-pasting that you do on her. No, we all know that you are running scared.

Don't hide behind my party to make your derangement seem more relavent. Palin was the only reason I would have voted for McCain period - and I live in AZ (you know, where McCain is from). Palin was the only fresh air in the campaign. Obama was never asked any hard questions and when it was relevant he threw all his beliefs under the bus - his "white" grandmother, his preacher for 20 years, his terrorist buddy Ayers etc, etc.... I'm thouroghly enjoying watching an inexperienced guy trying to run the country, actually watching him get pissed that people are actually questioning his motives with this porkulous bill is rather amuzing, I think it is apparent that he thought he could just make the house and senate do what he wanted because he was such a great guy.
Back on topic, Obama feared her, thus the liberals fell in line, they do see her as a threat or they wouldn't even bother reporting on her. If you're not relative, you don't get reported on - period. The liberal media can't shut up about her, and I'm sitting back loving it, if she runs I will vote for her - does that scare you yet? Bwahahahahaha!!

more dodging
February 9, 2009 - 18:38 ET by candanceWhat's wrong, don't like it when nasty things you say are brought up again? You indeed called Cindy McCain a homewrecker - in the middle of a montage about her charity work - and had no criticism of John McCain for being the one who got divorced. You then called Bristol Palin a "whore" and had no criticism for the boy who got her pregnant. You repeatedly attacked and demeaned various women as pattern of behavior.
In the link I provided you specifically said that the whole intent of legalizing pot was fueled by those who want to validate their behavior. Since Bob Barr wants pot legalized, your own logic dictates he is a pot head. Simple as that.
But acts of kindness and generosity must be free and voluntary; no man has a right to compel another to follow his conscience. This is a concern which lies between a man and his God.

February 9, 2009 - 19:06 ET by PopularTechI simply stated the truth of which you could not handle. I respect women who are patriotic.
Yes the whole pot movement to have it legalized is fueled by pro-pot users. Just like everyone arguing for it here. However there are economists and libertarians who support legalization from a liberty point of view. On this issue, they are in the minority and not the ones really driving the issue, Barr is one of them.

All I can say is: Thank you, Warner; and I admire you considerable forbearance.
Side bets anyone as to whether PT can resist next time Governor Palin’s name crops up this site?
And when you delete it, if you just leave "PT was here," we'll ALL understand.

Shy,
February 9, 2009 - 03:06 ET by R D HelmYeah, but we are supposed to take his biased garbage seriously. After all, they agree with him, so the source doesn't matter.

Same Warning, Mr. Shy
February 9, 2009 - 03:42 ET by Warner Todd HustonI told Unpopular Dreck not to spam this thread with 10 copies of the same reply, and the same goes for you Mr. Shy. ONE TIME for the exact same reply is ENOUGH on one thread.
If you post this same post with this same list again, I will delete it. Take the time to make a REAL reply and don't act like PT and spam post the same reply a dozen times.

Hey, PT, apparently you did not get the memo...
February 9, 2009 - 17:29 ET by needleIt has been statistically documented numerous times – sorry, I am not inclined to invest the effort to track them down, but that seems to be something that you like to do – that the Wall Street Journal is quite liberal.
Only the editorial section of the Wall Street Journal is conservative. (It is like a house divided.)

February 9, 2009 - 09:58 ET by Lord ErondPT, I can tell you what's wrong with all those sources. You quote some of the most left wing garbage that's been plainly proven to be partisan cheerleaders for the left. The credibility of the Times, NBC news, LA Times etc is GONE. That you rely on their reports for so called "objective news and reporting" only indicates that you are stupid beyond reasoning.
When you come back with a real news standard that's credible and believable, you let me know ok?

These links arent even real
February 9, 2009 - 10:10 ET by jondelwichethe 82%: links only to YouTube
the next one links to the LA Times saying 19% were more likely to vote for McCain because of Pain, NOT 81% less likely.
GAWD, these arent even legitimate links, what a fraud.
Spam-meister
Fortunately, the links reflect upon the poster
Try Reading, I know it is hard
February 9, 2009 - 10:31 ET by PopularTech1. Watch the Youtube video!
2. 81% of independent voters said they were less likely to vote for McCain because of Palin (Los Angeles Times / Bloomberg)
"Sarah Palin Factor: Last month’s poll showed that slightly more voters were more likely to vote for McCain because of Sarah Palin’s presence on the ticket. This poll shows that the Palin rock star status has waned (except with the Republican’s core base). More voters are less likely to vote for McCain because of her presence on the ticket. Independents have flipped their allegiance. ...now just 19% say that."
You cannot even read!

WTH, I was formulating in my mind how long.......
February 9, 2009 - 02:52 ET by old croit would take PT to reply when reading your comments, but dang, he must have an internet alert program running.
I think we all listen to
February 9, 2009 - 03:39 ET by Dan The Man 2I think we all listen to the voices we want to. Adn we all dismiss that which bothers us or offends us. We leave our senses and logic in some cases to ride our made up fantasy worlds. PT, you must realize that the public makes up its mind if Palin is ok or not, just as tehy made up their mind Obama was ok.

He's not Black...
February 9, 2009 - 05:22 ET by Army BratHe's Mulatto...bi-racial.
I to am bi-racial. I am Blackfoot Indian and Caucasian...(Irish.)
Am I Blackfoot? Am I Caucasian? I am both and neither.
So why is Obama Black? That's a load of crap.
Happy Trails...
In an interview somewhere,
February 9, 2009 - 06:02 ET by motherbeltIn an interview somewhere, his sister said he is black because "that is how he has named himself." Just like Halle Berry.
And I think it's interesting that they both identify with the black fathers who deserted them rather then the white mothers who raised them.
All through the campaign, I wanted someone to ask Obama how his mother felt about his ignoring her side of his heritage, and whether he ever felt guilty about that.
I didn't think it was physically possible, but this both sucks and blows. -Bart Simpson
That's because...
February 9, 2009 - 07:00 ET by NavyBuckeye(and this will make all the PC police cringe, hehe) being white and embracing that part of thier culture is not lucrative. It is better and more lucrative to embrace the "black" side of their family. I mean if they just said they were people who worked to get where they are....then what kind of story does that make. But if they say "I'm black and my father abandoned me..blah, blah, I'm the first black, blah blah blah"....then the story becomes Extraordinary and breakthrough for all black children to emulate.
It is truly sad....MLK would be beside himself. For he just wanted people to be judged by the content of thier character. Yet someone how many people, black and white, have lost focus on this aspect of his dream.

February 9, 2009 - 17:39 ET by NorthCoasterI heard a similar comment from an African -American young lady working at a gas station just after the election. She ended her comment with, "He's colored and I won't believe a thing he says until I see the results."
I thought d^mn, there is still hope in the youth of today!
So Tom McCarthy likes to
February 9, 2009 - 06:35 ET by ThisnThatSo Tom McCarthy likes to make movies about dark sex, eh? Then I'm still waiting on his movie about a president who got a blowjob, and how he said he didn't because he re-defined the definition of sex.
I think Tom McCarthy should be taken to the woodshed, again and again, until he stops his lying and abandons his double-standards. He's had a decade, now, to produce his blockbuster Clinton movie.

February 9, 2009 - 08:49 ET by GeneralAlThe Hollyweird Idiots live their lives in a world of make believe. They think they are the intelligent, important characters they try to potray! Anyobody can act like somebody else but that doesn't make us as smart as that person. The same came be said for stupid people. We can act like them but that doesn't make us stupid. The truth is, in Hollyweird, you have STUPID people thinking they are smart because they can act like those people. In the case of Sarah Palin, I can only think of a passage in the Bible that fits the context of these stupid Hollywood jerks:
"For God has chosen the foolish things of this world to
confound the wise!"
Its no question that the foolishness of these idiots confounds those of us who have any degree of wisdom in our souls!
re; Palin treatment in Hollywood and elsewhere
February 9, 2009 - 10:17 ET by narcisoWhat PopTech has to ask himself, is what would an alternate set of policies have been. Certainly the Governor who have discouraged McCain had he won from closing Gitmo, would have encouraged expanding oil leases, opening up ANWR, and the Gulf Coast to development. Yes we know it takes time, it took time to open establish the Alaska Pipeline, but it was ready by 1979; during the next oil shock. not surprisingly the real Vice President, voted against it during his rookie year in the Senate. She specifically mentioned Ab Quaiq, and Venezuela and Nigeria in her otherwise folksy acceptance speech, as sources for possible disruptions. Of course, your preferred candidate Ron Paul, took foreign policy advice from Michael Scheuer, who not only sympathized with the supposed AQ aims, but in large part agreed with them. We know that CO2 is not a pollutant, otherwise we would be considered producers of same. This alternate notion only look shape after 1989 or so, to force into the same Ehrlichian Club of Rome theory of scarcity that the actual Science advisor to the President, Holdrim does believe. Would Putin likely have challenged us to remove our BMD radars in Eastern Europe, if she were anywhere on the ticket
To continue to cite her resume, without the context of her actual accomplishments therein, is dishonest, everywhere she has gone in the last 16 years from city council to mayor to governor, one time lieutenant gubernatorial candidate, to head of the oil commission, has been a reform effort. She resigned from the latter, precisely because they would not reform themselves, then after her warnings were proven correct, she challenged both the sitting governor, his predecessor and that malcontent Halcro and won. None of this was conveyed by the paper thin caricature by Tina Fey, or the badly edited interviews by Couric and Gibson, that's because they weren't meant to actually inform, just shape the news in the Alinsky style, or maybe they really didn't know themselves.The fact that Couric had resort to resort to Nunn and Haas, for the questions, really speaks ill of her than of the Governor
One proper way to look at the situation in Alaska, and her role in it, is to see it as the new Texas, much like the series "Friday Night Lights" where everything is bigger than life, substitute hockey for football, caribou for cattle, and it all fits. In this light, it's really not surprising that the governor's daughter would be dating the lead athlete at the school for the last three years,and consequences ensue therein. Not surprising that most Hollywood writers might miss this, although they did have "Northern Exposure" to give them some clues. The local version of this pest, perpetual curmudgeon Dan Fagan, has set about to discredit her, even writing a misleading story to force her daughter's fiancee to quit his job in the oil fields, set up by his father.
The question one has to ask oneself, is who else who suffer such a crushing burden of innuendo and lies, and still seemingly remain unaffected. With regards to any other candidate, retreat from public life, specially a party heirarchy that doesn't appreciate her advice, but the base does. Consequently they will continue to set upon her, for her policies, her life choices, her appearance, until they succeed in driving her from public life, or she overcomes them all.Question is, what side will you be on?

February 9, 2009 - 17:48 ET by NorthCoasterGreat analysis of the Palin propaganda cycle that started with her nomination as V.P. Candidate.
I had heard her name mentioned early as a possible running mate. I was a bit disappointed that she thought it would be better for Alaska for her to stay on as Governor, but it seemed reasonable. I know quite a few conservatives who were excited by her candidacy when it was announced , because we thought she was an ideal candidate with her background in reform.
