Oliver Stone: Palin makes George W. Bush look smart
The New York Daily News ^ | October 15, 2008 | Jo Piazza

Posted on 10/15/2008 7:56:46 AM PDT by St. Louis Conservative

Stone said he extended invites to the Republican presidential and vice presidential nominees yesterday morning - but they opted for a fund-raiser instead.

That was just fine with the Bush-bashing director, who seems to despise Palin even more.

"I don't think Sarah would understand the picture," Stone said on the red carpet outside the famed W. 54th St. theater.

"It has a lot of complicated dialogue," he zinged.

"George Bush is an intellectual compared to her."

Now that's a low blow. By the way did Lee's parents hate him so much that they had to name him Spike, or did the nurse misspell his name on the birth certificate from Alfred

High Hopes [Byron York]

From a post entitled “Crush Their Spirits,” by Markos Moulitsas:

I’ve been making the case the last couple of weeks that we can’t just focus on winning in November, but that we have an imperative to take advantage of a historic opportunity to break the conservative movement’s backs and crush their spirits. In the White House, that means getting Obama a broad popular and geographic mandate for change. In the House, that means annihilating the Republican caucus and working toward a 100-seat Democratic majority. In the Senate it means getting to a 60-seat filibuster proof majority.

Republicans will claim that McCain wasn’t one of them, hence rationalizing away their loss. But if we decimate their ranks, including their conservative icons, it’ll make it harder for them to justify their spin. Remember, we want them broken, their ranks thinned, their treasury in heavy debt, their morale in the gutter, void of any leadership, discredited in the eyes of the public.

Hence our need this year to take advantage of this perfect Democratic storm to not just win, but to utterly wipe the board clear of as many Republicans as we can catch in this wave.

A key component of this effort is to destroy their most beloved leaders. And in that sense, our Orange to Blue fundraising list targets some of the conservative movement’s top leaders. Don’t take my word for it, take that of conservative blogger/operative Patrick Ruffini, freaking out about the tsunami about to hit:

And while we all to some extent will continue to fixate on the Presidential race, we need to understand the very real consequences if the Senate is irredeemably lost, and if our bench in the House is wiped out. You may not know it, but conservative icons like John Shadegg (AZ-3) and Tom McClintock (CA-4) could lose.

Both AZ-03 and CA-04 are on our target list, with Bob Lord focused on taking out Shadegg, and Charlie Brown fighting McClintock.

There is a sudden realization on the right that they are on the precipice of losing not just their majorities, but some of their most cherished voices. We have been blessed with an opportunity to help that process along.

They’re already expecting to lose. You want to see them truly crushed, you need to help (among so many others) Lord and Brown win their races.

Leave everything on the road.

Standard Leftist talking point. They did the same thing comparing Nixon to Reagan, Reagan to GHWB, GHWB to Dan Quayle, and GWB to GHWB. The previous guy is always smarter than the new guy, no matter how much they insulted the previous guy for being "dumb" in the past.

It works both ways: Obama is far more elitist than Kerry ever was. ;)

No question remains as to who could fill the void of rabid Bush hate when GWB leaves office. I’ve got zero love for Bush (a 1960’s Democrat), but the truly deranged hatred coming from the left for ‘Chimpy McBu$hitler’ must be channeled somewhere, and if Republicans win in November, Palin will be their new lightening rod - their new embodiment of “everything that is wrong with America”.

So which is it, Lefties ? Is Bush stupid or is he a criminal mastermind ?

“W” should be a flop just Stone's movie Nixon was.
Cost $44 million and grossed $13 million in the US.

Josh Brolin will have about as much success as his Father's bad caricature of Ronald Reagan in that horrible TV movie from a few years back.

Hollywood is dead.

Oliver Stone is an aging leftist and an admirer of Castro.

Oliver Stone is a perfect example of the rott that has infested the MSM, Hollywood and TV. If you watch any of the recent movies...they have very little to offer that is uplifting and positive. All the libs can offer is negative, and apparently that and a big dose of Obamaism sells.

Stone is an out and out liar. His film “JFK” was an abysmal piece of propaganda.

I think the narrative was that Bush is stupid and that Rove was the criminal mastermind.

Look for more of the same in future. Only the names will be different.

The screen reporter on Morning Joe went to the movie last night and she said the opening was like watching Sat. Night Live.

These loons have gone off the deep end.

How Stone can produce W. and consider Palin and Bush dumb might be a sign he will be ready for a straight jacket soon.

I was at Filthy McNastys in LA for the “after” party when THE DOORS was made as a guest of Ken Speed, the special effects man on that job.

I met and shook hands with Stone. Oliver is the most arrogant asshat I ever met

It just so happens that Palin’s SAT scores are quite higher than a number of the Dem candidates for prez in recent elections. Her score (combined) 0f 1340 is quite high. How many Dems can match that?
