“The MSM will never be “fair and decent” where Sarah Palin is concerned.”

Concur.

If filmmaker Stephen Bannon really does remain deeply optimistic that his forthcoming Palin documentary, “The Undefeated,” will sway the media to see Palin in a different light, then filmmaker Stephen Bannon really is a blithering idiot, in this instance.

I would certainly buy the DVD if Sarah was to find a distributor!

...good way to raise some cash! ...and piss off the liberals.

[who knows what evil?]

Breitbart steps on more than a few toes by insisting that conservative men inside the Washington Beltway are all "eunuchs who have run as men but aren't men" for failing to be aggressive enough against Obama and for allowing Palin to be criticized. That's not exactly a page from "How to Win Friends and Influence People."

Come on, Brent...Andrew is spot on...as usual. I wish we could clone him...more Breitbarts, please.

Case in point:

“The latest Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll found 30 percent of likely GOP voters would back Romney. Second, at 14 percent, was Sarah Palin, who is: a) not yet running, and b) not yet literate.”

Thanks for the ping.

...our media tend to greet liberal films with open arms and swooning heads, while similar conservative efforts are inevitably trashed.

We've got their number...

Wrong!!!!

Big lies are easier to put out there and maintained, because they are generally a lot easier to remember the details of, and harder to refute due to their repetition.

Compare it to the quote from Josef Stalin: "The death of one man is a shame; the death of a hundred men is a tragedy; The death of a million men is a statistic."

I want to find out what a quatity discount would be. I’ll take a hundred!

Goebbels And The “Big Lie”

"Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels was the master of the “big lie” tactic in which a lie, no matter how outrageous, is repeated often enough that it will eventually be accepted as truth. Goebbels explained:

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

Sarah is high on her record, she is a Christian, she is brave, delivers excellent dynamic speeches, honest, not corrupted, smart, and loves America and the American way. The left calls her dangerous. The danger is she is going to be a huge threat to their power. Sarah appears anointed of God, and if so she will prevail! Attacks are false and made up ... whole cloth is made up by the progressive liberals and their minions. They appear to want to take America to H---! And have done a good job of it so far.

If this is the time of Revelations and wrath, then it is the completion of prophesy, still man is the actor and it may not be for years yet. Straighten up and get right with God. Do the right thing.. Ask for mercy and forgiveness and it must be sincere. God is not mocked.
