New Film Portrays Sarah Palin's 'Dark Side' (new agitprop)
Sky News ^ | Tuesday September 13, 2011

Posted on 09/13/2011 5:21:27 AM PDT by markomalley

A documentary about Sarah Palin depicts the former vice-presidential candidate and Tea Party idol as a woman with enormous charm but merciless vindictiveness.

Director Nick Broomfield's Sarah Palin: You Betcha!, which is playing at the Toronto International Film Festival, offers a glimpse of the former Alaska governor from interviews with family, including her parents, and former friends and associates.

Palin comes across as a woman known for ruthlessly firing people and holding spiteful grudges, leaving many Alaskans worried to talk about her for fear of reprisals, whether from Palin or her supporters.

"I think that beneath the charisma, which she undoubtedly has, and her ability to engage with people, which she undoubtedly can do, there was a sense of fear about her vindictiveness," Broomfield said in an interview before the festival.

Y’know, I just have an awful feeling that someone is gonna try and kill that gal, whether she runs or not. The fear and hate runs that deep.
(There. I said it.)

After what, 5 years? we’re now being told what a spiteful meanie she was/is? Where have all these supposed victims of her wrath been the last few years when all the checkbooks were open for any kind of dirt on the Palins?

About as credible as an Algore Production.

To the Left, Truth is darkness. (More newspeak!)

It threatens their agenda, their paradigm, and everything they stand for and believe in.

Sarah Palin's dark side is honesty, truthfulness, Truth itself.

No wonder they HATE her so!

Doubt it.

But you want to place a bet that one (or more) of the broadcast networks will air the piece (or similar hit pieces) a day or two before the general election right in the middle of primetime? (a "world premiere" special)

(assuming that she runs and is the nominee...of course)

In other words, they can't find any dirt so they're using the excuse that people are living in fear.

A regular Josephine Stalin. LOL

As opposed to the pResident in chief's utter lack of vindictiveness.

When you actually do what you say you are going to do you make enemies. Sarah has been a reformer from day one, and is probably still interested in filling that role. She has already been more than vetted. This book will not make a spit in the oceans difference.

I hold no brief for Sarah Palin, but it ought to be noted that the director of this "documentary", Nick Broomfield is the one who directed Battle for Haditha, which falsely accused U.S. Marines of responsibility for atrocities against civilians.

If that were to happen, there would be a huge backlash against the liberals (especially) Obama who have been inciting violence by their violent rhetoric.

The Left is STILL crapping their pants that if Sarah runs, she will mop the floor with "The Messiah". Whatever smears they can come up with, pumped by the State-Run-Media, they will do it.

The Good-ol'-Boy Republican Establishment is in the same boat, with their token candidates to do their bidding being blasted out easily by Sarah's announcement, in a couple of weeks.

I have nothing for contempt for Nick Broomfield. He is the same scumbag who maligned our troops and portrayed them as murderers in a movie about the Haditha incident.

He is lower than scum in my book.

Gee she’s not even a Presidential candidate and look at all the research! Maybe the MSM can turn their focus on Obama after all he has a real history of ‘ruthlessly firing people and holding spiteful grudges’.

Gotta ask, what did THEY do to warrant reprisals? Sorry I don’t see any 3 a.m. wake up, and drag out activity on her part. She continues to be the center of the target, there is no let up. WHY ARE THEY SO AFRAID OF HER? My take is she has the fire the other candidates lack and they know it. She recognizes corruption in government and will take action to remove it. The more I see the other candidates the more I tend to stay with Palin. If she does not run, I’ll be very disappointed. We have a Jester and clown as President and VP, I’m sure she’ll do a far better job. The other candidates will also be a 100%+ improvement over what we have now, but IMO they lack the fire.

opinions are like buttholes, every has one
So someone has a poor opinion of Palin.
The question is are there enough real facts to validate that opinion
