This is what we get by surrendering the media, Hollywood, academia and the literary world to the Left.

The noble John McCain.
The stupid Sarah Palin.
The wise Steven Schmidt.
The godlike Barack Obama.

Modern American Fairy Tales.

It's NOT about a particular politican?

But for still trying to destroy her, the smearing movie would have NEVER been made!

Libs have tried for almost 4 years now to destroy Sarah and they have failed every single time. Gee for someone supposedly so irrelevant they sure do spend a lot of time talking about her, making BS movies about her, and trashing her every second..if she were so irrelevant you would think they wouldn’t even bother..they are scared to death of her, scared to death that she will run for President and WIN. I bet “Game Change” tanks tonight, only flaming far left kooks will watch that garbage

HBO worships Leftwing #####. I see no subscriber benefit unless you’re... a Leftwinger.

HBO’s recent movie regarding TARP was a shameful portrayal of the two Parties: Democrats virtuous, Republicans moronic.

Exactly. No matter how many issues we are right on. No matter how many think tanks and Tea Party groups we form, the left owns the narrative via Hollywood and the media.

Until we change that and/or push back harder, we will continue to break even against a ideology that should get crushed in a center-right country.

“Republicans are stupid...I hate Republicans....Republicans are stupid.”

Whoopi Goldberg as portrayed on Southpark. Life imitating art.

FWIW; Sarah Palin: The Undefeated and Atlas Shrugged pt. 1, are on Netfix, now.

It’s the first time I’ve watched either, and they are both very good films.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

Look folks, The left, the liberals, the Democrats with Obama heading the pack tried to do in Rush Limbaugh this past week and cleanse the “contraception” from Obama’s back. Neither ploy worked. Mr. Limbaugh is stronger then ever, and will continue so!!! And....ditto for the “real” Sarah Palin!!! Game Change, friends is what has happened to and is happening to the Obama media. They are not effective, and can no longer fool the American public or voters. The latest Rasmussen numbers show both Romney & Santorum, as of today, besting Obama in the upcoming POTUS race.

Now I am not blowing the horn of victory for either of these good gents, what I am alluding to, is that with each passing day, the mantra and final goal, of the majority of voters is 2012, is “ABO”, Anybody But Obama!!! Meaning, voting folks will vote for any human being, as long as it not Obama!!! The “Palin” flick will stoke the attack fire even more against Obama and his dirt bag ilk from Hollywood and the media!!!

Our side has finally grown some backbone and....with Rush, Sarah, Laura, Mark, Sean, Greta, and the Breitbart troopers, etc., etc, etc. on an endless attack against American Hater, and would be destroyer of the USA, Obama, we have nothing to fear or worry about!!! Attack, Attack, Attack!!

And.....whoever the GOP POTUS nominee is....you folks are going to see a GOP Campaign you have never witnessed in your life. And....most of all, we, the people, got get to work and bring Obama and his Democrat Party ilk down politically and then flush them down the toilet to the forever obscurity cesspool, where they rightfully belong for eternity!!!

What are you gonna do? We all wanted to go out and make things.

Please bear with a somewhat lengthy post, but perhaps this might interest a few of my fellow Freepers. This is an example of what were up against. Also note that the media uses the type of people referenced here as “experts.”
I sent the following letter by snail mail to...

Dear Ms. Spectorsky,

I am quite disturbed by a segment that aired on the Channel 3 news March 7 at 11:09 pm.
It was a conversation between anchor Russ Mitchell and a man identified as Jason Johnson, Political Analyst at Hiram College, concerning the upcoming campaign between Samuel Joseph Wurzelbacher, AKA Joe the Plumber and Marcy Kaptur for Ohio’s Ninth Congregational District. I have taken the liberty of transcribing the conversation in case you may have missed it.

Russ Mitchell

“Earlier today I spoke with political analyst Jason Johnson to get his take on this unusual match-up.”

Jason Johnson

“I think this is hilarious. I think that John Stewart and the Daily Show should be following this race, I mean Joe the Plumber is as about as relevant in today’s politics as Sarah Palin and that’s not saying very much, so, uh, Marcie Kaptur is the longest serving woman in the House, uh, this is a great accomplishment for her, she’s going to beat Joe the Plumber...”

This is what passes for political analysis on your newscast? This exchange made me wonder just who Mr. Johnson is. It turns out that Mr. Johnson is currently an Associate Professor of political science and communication at Hiram College.
He is a prolific writer and has made his opinions known, opinions such as...

“...Rick or Mitt is going to have to convince the public he is not as crazy as the Tea Partiers in Congress; that he is not as crazy as unpopular Republican governors in swing states like Ohio, Wisconsin and Florida...”
http://drjasonjohnson.com/2011/09/05/odds-of-obama-re-election-better-than-you-think/

“...We all know that the GOP has some loonies and some crackpots...” http://tri-statedefenderonline.com/articlelive/
articles/6638/1/Scary-picture-emerges-from-reflections-of-former-GOP-insider/Page1.html

“...the public would’ve heard sounder arguments than whatever was the GOP talking point on Rush Limbaugh that morning...” http://drjasonjohnson.com/2012/03/04/america-needs-presidents-questions/

It appears that Dr. Johnson is either a mind-reader or has a degree in Psychiatry given that he sees fit to diagnose the mental state of Tea Party Patriots as “Crazy”. Given the degree of invective, derision and scorn directed at Conservatives, it also appears that this “political analyst” is person with an extreme far left political ideology.

I have had issue with Channel 3 News parroting biased and inaccurate news stories from sources such as as Associated Press without doing the basic fact checking that would have allowed such news to be re-written before airing but have ascribed the lack of such actions on the part of local news media to the pressures of the deadline and lack of manpower to devote to investigating a story independently when it has already been handed to the station wrapped up and ready to go.
I have now been forced to come to the conclusion that Channel 3 News cares nothing for the truth when it conflicts with a very pronounced left-wing bias and that this must be acceptable policy with station editorial staff and management.

As I can no longer trust the veracity of any news story that airs on Channel 3 News, I will now tune in at 11:15 to catch Betsy Kling’s weather and the sports segment. Perhaps I’ll be back at 11:00 at some time in the future when the station sees fit to recognize an old adage I learned in my youth, that “you don’t mix politics with business, you’ll loose half your customers,” but for now you can spew your propaganda without me.

In response to the movie “Game Change” focusing on her historic selection as the GOP vice presidential nominee in the 2008 campaign, Sarah Palin says in an email to ABC News that the film doesn’t matter to her.
“I believe my family has the right priorities and knows what really matters,” Palin emailed. “For instance, our son called from Afghanistan yesterday and he sounded good, and that’s what matters. Being in the good graces of Hollywood’s ‘Team Obama’ isn’t top of my list.”

[RobbyS]

A word on Greta. She and Palin have really bonded, which ought to tell one a lot about Sarah. The two women are peers, and it shows that Palin is far from the yahoo that the Left would like us to think she is. Greta is far from being a movement conservative, indeed she reminds me of the liberal professors I had back in college fifty years ago. Really open-minded and willing to treat others with respect.

>what were up against

Missed and apostrophe, should have read “what we're up against”

Also, one letter isn't going to do squat, but it beats yelling at the TV, and if you send it to people high-up in the company food-chain, perhaps somebody will take notice, after all, the news business is a business, unless it's been so totally corrupted (New York Times, MSNBC etc) as to have become nothing more than a propaganda arm of the regime.

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Yeah, I saw this [*****].

Brought to mind an item that’s puzzled me ever since ‘69.

Exactly what would these libtards do if some of us acted out some....not all, just some....of the names that they’ve thrown around?

Maybe I should call York and ask if he would like to discuss that deal face-to-face.

[onyx]

Oh yeah!!!!!!!
SMILING HERE!!

[RedMDer]

The Undefeated is on cable channel REELZ tomorrow night.

[RedMDer]

Very good!

[RedMDer]

I bet it really irritates the left that Sarah isn’t ruffled by their garbage.
