MINNEAPOLIS — A documentary portraying mainstream Republican leaders as villains and Sarah Palin as an inspirational heroine for the Tea Party received an enthusiastic reception from grass-roots conservatives at the film’s first public screening here on Friday night.
“The Undefeated,” an unapologetically partisan documentary meant to advocate for Ms. Palin’s potential candidacy for president, makes the case that she was the original Tea Party inspiration. It will make its premiere in Iowa in a couple of weeks but was shown to several hundred activists attending Right Online, a convention of conservative bloggers.
The two-hour film does not spare usual conservative targets like the news media and the Democratic party. But it is establishment Republican leaders — portrayed as toothless bystanders while Ms. Palin was attacked during her vice-presidential run in 2008 — who receive special scorn.
Ms. Palin represents “an existential threat” to them, Andrew Breitbart, the flame-throwing conservative blogger, says in the documentary, and he goes on to compare the party’s establishment to “eunuchs.”

“Now imagine how this same jourbalist would describe a third-party documentary about Barack Obama, John Edwards, Hillary Clinton or _______?”
As in Gerbilist? I love it.
“I really think that they think we rubes are being influenced by their clever writing skills to feel embarassed by our positive impression of Governor Palin, thus turning us against whatever she represents.”
Any more, if their every word isn’t dripping with snot, I get confused at what they are really trying to convey.
it’s MRS. you asshole
And Bachman spells her first name with 1l, but why bother to check when you’re with the NYT?
It’s Governor, but I agree with your sentiments about journalist Trip Gabriel.
I hate the wait.
Love that NYTimes logic (I mean, it’s not as if they have an agenda or anything):
A positive film about Sarah Palin should rev up support for her likely presidential race opponents, Bachmann and Perry....???
