It is 2008 and Republican Presidential candidate John
McCain introduces Governor Sarah Palin as his running
mate to a crowd of thousands of enthusiastic supporters.
The beautiful, poised, confident Governor takes the
stage at the Republican National Convention to
thunderous applause and delivers an electrifying
speech with a level of charisma, wit, and passion
not seen since Ronald Reagan, that catapulted this
relatively unknown Alaskan Governor onto the
National political stage making her almost instantly
and simultaneously one of the most revered and one
of the most reviled politicians in recent memory.
In stark contrast, the film then cuts over to a dramatic
3-minute montage of pure, unadulterated hatred from
the left for this VP candidate which history will record
as one of the most vicious campaigns to
annihilate a public figure.
It was vulgar.
It was brutal.
It was violent.
It was main stream.
It was textbook Alinsky.
And yet, she is still standing…undefeated.
-----------------------------------
The attacks from the liberal pundits, journalists,
talk show hosts, celebrities and patrons of social
networking sites and the blogosphere were
completely abhorrent and offensive.
So much so that the film’s writer/director, Stephen
Bannon, told us at the private screening of the rough
cut of the film, he would have to do a lot of
creative editing to mask some of the more vulgar
and violent footage to get the film to a PG-13
rating for National distribution, yet still convey
the same astonishing level of the left’s pathological
hatred for Palin.
--------------
She didn’t just talk the talk…she walked the walk.
When it came to fighting corruption within her own
Administration, she said “In politics you’re either
eating well or sleeping well”.
She always chose the latter.
With one legislative success after another and
overwhelming bipartisan support, Governor
Sarah Palin’s popularity was at a record high
88% according to Gallup’s empirical data —
the highest approval rating on
record for a sitting US Governor.
With that kind of approval rating, Sarah stated
“My administration must be doing something right”.
She enjoyed those high approval ratings right up
to the day her Blackberry rang and Senator McCain
asked “Would you like to help me change history”?
And so began their campaign for the White House.
So, too, began another campaign — the one
launched by the statists to destroy her.
Alinsky’s Rules for Radicals teaches its disciples that
you must take a person’s strengths and “isolate them”.
And that is exactly what they did. It was an
organized strategy and the media gladly participated.
Bannon’s film, The Undefeated, reveals exactly what
they “isolated” and as John Nolte, Editor-In-Chief of
BigHollywood, so aptly put it, is “doing the job the
corrupt MSM won’t”.

While the 2008 Presidential election did not turn out
as planned, Sarah Palin won the hearts of millions of
Americans, and as Mark Levin noted, the excitement
and enthusiasm generated by Palin was the beginning
of the awakening of conservatives across the country
— the beginning of what is now the TEA Party
movement — and very reminiscent of what happened
during the Reagan Revolution.
Americans were seeing for the first time since Reagan,
a true conservative leader who had a heart for America
and for the people. “Ronald Reagan would have loved
the TEA Party” said Levin. Like Palin, Reagan was
called an outsider that couldn’t win. People said he
was “too conservative”, “a right-winger”, “an
extremist”. And he was just what America needed.
Upon her return to Alaska to resume her duties as
Governor, Palin was plagued with one trumped
up ethics charge after another which cost her
staff dearly.
Each charge was dismissed but rarely,
if ever, reported by the media.
As the Palins were a middle-class family and had
to pay their own legal fees (which had amassed
to over $500,000), the intent of her opponents
was to force her family into bankruptcy.

We are left to ponder the words of Thomas Paine:
“If there must be trouble, let it be in my day, that
my child may have peace.”
This is a must-see film that “Palinistas” will absolutely
love and will allow Palin skeptics to see what the media
has so successfully isolated — hidden in plain sight.
I dare you to go see it.
