EDITORS NOTE: THERE IS LANGUAGE THROUGHOUT THE COLUMN THAT MAY BE OFFENSIVE TO SOME READERS. THANK YOU.
On CNN recently, Screenwriter Aaron Sorkin ("The Social Network," "West Wing") called Sarah Palin an "idiot."
Let's see to whom that label applies.
Last week in the Huffington Post, Sorkin wrote a column attacking the ex-governor of Alaska and her TLC mini-series reality TV show, "Sarah Palin's Alaska."
Sorkin opened with a quote from Palin on the hypocrisy of meat-eaters who condemn hunting for food. He then proceeded with this response:
"You're right, Sarah, we'll all just go f--- ourselves now."
That non sequitur was the high point of Sorkin's column. (Also, as I noted in my last column on the Grammy Awards nominees for Record of the Year, while most people use expletives in private conversation or in a rare uncontrolled outburst, the Hollywood and art-world left uses expletives in public discourse and in writing as a matter of course.)
Sorkin was furious that the documentary showed Palin hunting and killing a caribou. Although she made it clear that she intended to eat the animal, according to Sorkin she had committed an act of murder and torture. To quote Sorkin:
"I don't relish the idea of torturing animals."
"I don't watch snuff films and you (Palin) make them."
"I've tried and tried and for the life of me, I can't make a distinction between what you (Palin) get paid to do and what Michael Vick went to prison for doing."
"I get happy every time one of you faux-macho s---heads accidentally shoots another one of you in the face."
"That was the first moose ever murdered for political gain."
"Sarah Palin is deranged."
Sorkin admits that he eats meat and wears leather. So while he and almost any of us in the affluent West can eat healthfully without eating any meat, Sorkin chooses to have animals killed solely for his culinary pleasure. In other words, he is morally at peace with paying others to kill animals for what is in fact the "fun" of eating meat. But when Palin hunts and kills an animal for food, she is a murderer and torturer.
And while on the subject of torture, isn't there more torture in the way in which most animals are confined and killed in the slaughter mills of modern society than in the killing of an individual animal while it freely roams in the wild?
As for comparing Palin's TV show to a "snuff film," what kind of mind likens the murder of an innocent person on film to hunting a caribou? There is an answer: the Hollywood leftist mind.
Likewise, Sorkin's use of the word "murdered." Outside of his confused moral universe, humanity has always reserved that word "murder" exclusively to describe the deliberate killing of an innocent human being. It has never been used to describe the killing of an animal. By Sorkin's logic, his eating meat renders him a mass murderer.
No wonder, then, that Sorkin sees no difference between shooting a caribou and Vick's using dogs to kill one another in a sadistic sporting event.
I return to the question: Does Sorkin really not see a difference between hunting an animal for food, torturing an animal or murdering a human being -- especially given the fact that he pays people to kill animals for his joy in eating them?
If he sees no difference, then it is he --- not Palin --- who best fits the description of her he wrote in his column. The only other explanation would be that he so hates her that he will say anything, including turning moral standards upside down, in order to insult her.
Good people can differ on Palin's political positions or on whether she should run for president in the next election. But what has she ever said, written or done to justify Sorkin's hatred and cruelty? Indeed, what has she ever said or written that was as infantile or morally foolish as what Sorkin wrote about her?
Ironically, all Sorkin's column achieves is an elevation of Palin's status. If people can be judged by those who hate them, Palin must be more impressive than many people have realized.
So, how does one explain Sorkin's irrational hatred and morally twisted thinking?
As noted earlier, it is indicative of the Hollywood Leftist mindset. Members of Hollywood's left generally live in a left-wing cocoon. What strikes most people who live outside of that cocoon as irrational and immoral is often regarded as brilliant in that world. To the rest of us, comparing shooting a caribou to a snuff film, to murder and to torture is the ranting of an immature and morally confused mind. But among many of Sorkin's peers on the cultural left, Sorkin's column is not merely brilliant, it is f---ing brilliant.

While it is fun to hammer idiots like sorkin for their idiotic and silly statements in the end they are just meaningless poeple and what they say is even more meaningless in the vast majority of American citizens lives...........
It amazes me how they really don't see idiocy they display
I’m voting for Sarah, simply because the entertainment value of liberal heads exploding is too good to pass up.That's not my number one reason for voting for Sarah, but it is on my list of reasons to vote for her.
Aaron who?..........................
I didn’t know that Sorkin did “The Social Network”. Darn and that was a fantastic movie. I loved every minute of it. I guess no DVD for me.
Hate has its own self-justifying logic. It’s not confused by facts.
Yes, thank you, Kaslin.
Yes, thank you, Kaslin.
My new tagline...............thanks!.............
That may be the one thing I like most about her, she makes vicious enemies of the exact people who should be our enemies.
What he does relish is watching wolves tear the caribou apart alive, or eat the fetus right out of a female and leave the rest to die a slow and outrageously painful death.
"It's natural." No, he thinks that, by comparison, an instant kill from a bullet is "torture."
Moron.
How on Earth do you accomplish that? No meat? That can't be healthy. Especially for an omnivore.
“I’m voting for Sarah, simply because the entertainment value of liberal heads exploding is too good to pass up.”
Why not. We are being entertained big time by the dude in the office now. Obama certainly adds humor in all he does.
The profanity is the least offensive part.
Destroying the country isn't entertaining.
Envy / Jealousy
Elect Sarah Palin for President 2012
Re-Elect President Sarah Palin 2016
Neither is lack of experience.
For a moment there, I thought this was just another FR PDS brigade headline....
Many people don’t know how to think rationally anymore. Sorkin is the result when people decend below the level of animals. Even animals don’t treat other animals the way some people deliberately treat other people, and animals aren’t illogical and unreasonable like some people are.
Logic and reason is never able to have a coherent conversation with what’s illogical and unreasonable.
Poor Aaron....all that cocaine has done in his brain.
Hope all the leftists go to your movies and watch your shows, Aaron - because we won’t.
