HBO On Defense: Writer Danny Strong Claims No Agenda Behind Palin Film
Big Hollywood ^ | January 14, 2012 | by John Nolte

HBO is one of the most liberal entertainment outlets ever conceived, but at the very least you had to respect them for not trying to hide that agenda. So why go all spineless now? Part of HBO’s absurd, intelligence-insulting denial is simply disingenuous. The network’s “agenda” took a pretty big hit when Governor Palin chose not to run in 2012, but the timing of this docu-drama, which is based on a political book written my John Heilamann and Mark Halperin, was always obvious: Drop this bomb in the heat of the GOP primary.

She isn't the Pope you know.

And you're a far cry from being original as a comedian.

If you're writing your own stuff I recommend you keep your day job as a waiter.

“Are you saying that any thread about Palin should only be commented on by her fans?” Nope

“Crying “PDS” hardly addresses anyone’s objection to her.”

Your objection to her in light of known facts is PDS.

“Would you prefer that everyone simply bow down to her or shut up, one or the other?”
Standing with her to get this country back is more of what I had in mind.

“She isn't the Pope you know.”

If she were,I wouldn’t be supporting her

Yes, her doing occasional commentary at Fox will save us.

She's a freakin' hero.

Adams series got pc preachy too....tried to make Abigail look like an abolitionist

And Jefferson like an old world aristocrat

Not to mention having them shagging on the dinner table

Most common HBO offense is homosexuality gratuitously inserted into every story regardless of plot

Place must be governed by fags and minorities of every stripe

Sarah’s brother responds to the HBO hit piece:

Hi guys (and gals),

I thought I’d share something with you that you might enjoy. A friend of mine in Alabama told me to check out the trailer for the new HBO show, Game Change. Now as I recall, that book was written about the race between McCain and Obama, but somehow, HBO decided to make it into a Sarah story. Anyway, I watched the trailer tonight with my two sons (eleven and eight years old). When the trailer gets to the end, the actress portraying Sarah says something like, “We have to win this thing; I so don’t want to go back to Alaska”. Both of my kids burst out laughing and the oldest said, “dad, that’s crazy! That doesn’t even sound like Sarah, and you know how much she loves Alaska”.

I know all of you Sarah supporters know that this movie is full of bull; just thought you might like to hear the perspectives of two of her nephews here in Alaska that know her just a little bit better than some Hollywood writer.

Chuck
