If you followed sports, you would comprehend the analogy, because once the entire officiating crew and the ‘panel’ are working for the other team, you cannot win and should not continue to compete lending credulity to their wrong doing. It isn’t quiting if there is absolutely no way to do the game by the established rules. Sarah is not a quitter. She’s someone very different than what this sagging Republic has come to value. She is not a sexual degenerate like too many demoncrats and republicant’s. She’s not a liar. She’s not into criminal graft. In short, she isn’t an establishment politician, she’s Sarah Palin. A genuinely good person. Too many Americans cannot recognize that quality when it is shown to them. What happened in Alaska was a service to evil, and she was not going to enable them any further. THAT is doing the principled thing regardless of the idiotic media mischaracterizations to follow.
Surely we never expected anything coming out of Salon to be nice.You would THINK so, eh?
Yet here is ANOTHER "left-wing" commentator......this time frtom the Huffing-and-Puffington Post (!)...
...that managed to find a few nice things to say about this movie!Amy Siskind, Huffington Post:The Undefeated: The Movie I Wish Hillary Had Made
And stop calling me "SHIRLY"!
Which is why The Undefeated is providing such an important service by, finally, introducing Sarah Palin.True, the producer Stephen Bannon does share the same political ideology as Governor Palin, and so has a point of view (as Bannon aptly points out, so does Michael Moore in producing his documentaries).
Yet, it's hard to watch the film without tripping over the facts:
the character of Sarah Palin and what has she accomplished.Yet, our country has yet to know Governor Palin beyond the initial smear job done on this woman as she entered the national political arena.Seems pretty basic, yes.
At the end of the film, I suspect the 20% of voters who consider themselves far left still won't consider her (just as those 20% on the far right would never vote for a Democrat);
but, I am quite certain that a whole lot of reasonable voters in between will be surprised by what they see...
:o)
Ping for what will be an ongoing thread with reviews and commentary about the Sarah Palin film, “The Undefeated”.Aye, that's what I intended for this thread to be, lonevoice...
...except that it sounds a little like the mission of the USS Enterprise! :o)
I'm now going to be offline again -- for a while.
On the Huffington post?
Once again I’m almost speechless.
Great thread RonDog! Thank you very much, you and Al B, GonzoII and others that have been contributing.
OK, that’s interesting. So, though he was approached about the short videos, he took it upon himself to create the actual movie. I hope it will be shown somewhere around here, in Central MA.
Sounds good!
marking a good news thread
:)
Does the film have a website or some official blog or something where one can see definite news about showings?
On the Huffington post?LOLOL!Once again I’m almost speechless.
Salon.com, Huffington Post - both saying some nice things about this movie?
Who woulda thunk it?But wait, there's MORE! How about Dan Rather's SeeBS?
Jan Crawford, CBS News: New Sarah Palin movie hints at presidential run
I hope that the Louisville, Cincinnati, or Nashville areas (or all three) will be included in that list of 50-100 market areas. If not, I guess I’ll just have to drive a little further to see it; but I’m definitely going to see this movie in a theater.
Sarah Palin is either running for President or she should be:That's the takeaway from "The Undefeated," a new movie about Palin's life and leadership set to hit theaters next month.
Billed as a documentary - though told in a fast-paced and dramatic style - the two-hour movie is an unabashed defense of the former Alaska governor that leaves the distinct impression her presidential candidacy not only is possible, but inevitable...-- snip --...By tracing her political rise in Alaska, her battles with Big Oil and the Republican establishment, and her accomplishments as governor, the movie argues one overriding point:Sarah Palin is a seasoned executive who is more than qualified to be President.
...It also adds context to her bus tour of historic sites and patriotic events, which she says she undertook to remind people about the principles America was founded on and the importance of the Constitution.Critics have questioned whether the tour is, in fact, just a big publicity stunt, but "The Undefeated" shows video of a young Palin echoing some of those same themes 20 years ago, when she was a rookie on the stump campaigning for office.
That's one of the things I found most striking about the movie.Since Palin burst on the national scene in 2008, critics have portrayed her as an unformed and uninformed political thinker, suggesting someone just crammed her head with these ideas and unleashed her on America.But "The Undefeated" goes a long way towards debunking that tired narrative.
It shows an unbroken line in her thinking over the past two decades.The things she's saying on her bus tour about freedom, free markets, fiscal responsibility and the proper role of government are the same things she's been saying ever since she entered into politics.
Does the film have a website or some official blog or something where one can see definite news about showings?For now, I only know of an UNOFFICIAL "fan page" on facebook, here:
www.facebook.com/TheUndefeatedMovieBut, in the past, Steve Bannon has usually set up a separate website for each of his movies.
If I had to guess, I would expect that the website for THIS movie would be something like:
www.theundefeatedmovie.comCurrently, if you click on that link, you get THIS cryptic message:
Future home of something quite cool
But, in the past, Steve Bannon has usually set up a separate website for each of his movies.The four recent films which Steve directed are, from www.imdb.com:
John Nolte at BigHollywood is out with his take on "The Undefeated": ‘The Undefeated’ Review: Doing the Job the Corrupt MSM Won’tExcellent, Al B.!
For FUTURE referrence, I'll put that wonderful review in the same format as my OTHER links here:
John Nolte, BigHollywood: ‘The Undefeated’ Review: Doing the Job the Corrupt MSM Won’tFWIW, my plan is to "cut and paste" from THIS "reference" thread into FUTURE threads (and e-mail blasts) about "The Undefeated." :o)
What an indictment of the mainstream media that in order to present to the public the missing pieces of a major political figure’s governing record, an independent filmmaker has to drop a cool million of his own dollars.While our corrupt journalist-class is (at this very moment) out trashing Governor Palin’s children, blaming her for their own acts of public urination and proving they know nothing about Paul Revere (or Google), writer/director Steve Bannon is putting the final touches on "The Undefeated" (this is a review of a rough cut), a feature-length documentary that does the MSM’s job for them — tells the intentionally ignored and buried stories of Sarah Palin’s two decades as an unconventional but very effective public official.Unless you’ve read the Governor’s autobiography “Going Rogue,” anyone with an ounce of intellectual honesty will find it impossible to sit through this film and not ask themselves,“Why haven’t I been told this?”
