Unlike the flattering portrait of Palin touted in "The Undefeated," which was made with the former vice presidential candidate's cooperation by a conservative filmmaker, Broomfield's goal was "cracking her story," as a release for the film put it, even though "people are frightened to talk.

Afraid to talk? Afraid of what - of all the worshipful adoration they will get from the MSM, the Beltway Elites and everyone to the Left of John McCain?

Nick Broomfield, who directed "Kurt & Courtney" and "Biggie & Tupac,"

Well that's certainly a relevant resume, if Palin dies in a gangsta rap war or shoots up heroin and blows her brains out.

Watch, the hit piece will succeed only in bringing more attention to the legitimate film, The Undefeated.

Don’t they know yet? This is the way it always turns out with any anti-Palin move.

More masturbatory material for the leftist and establishment haters... as if there isn’t enough currently around. It’s already on tv/radio/internet 24/7.

Does this mean the people on our side are going to make a Movie to counter the HBO Obama love story from last year?

Yeah. If they think she is so trivial, and can’t win, why go to all this trouble? What are they afraid of.

What? Why are they wasting time making slanderous movies about Sarah Palin? She’s not even an announced candidate.

According to the left-wing mantra (heard daily on Free Republic) “she’s not running” and “she can’t win”.

Shouldn’t they be making movies about Mitt? I thought they were scared to death of him </snark>
