Producer Bashes Sarah Palin During ‘Game Change’ Golden Globe Acceptance Speech

Jan. 13, 2013 10:45pm Billy Hallowell

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (TheBlaze/AP) — Premium cable networks Showtime and HBO fought it out for supremacy in the Golden Globes TV awards Sunday with multiple honors for the CIA thriller “Homeland” and “Game Change,” the movie about Sarah Palin’s rise as the 2008 Republican presidential candidate.

“Game Change,” a project that raised eyebrows among many conservatives, while gaining the intrigue of support of many on the American left, was honored as best television miniseries. Julianne Moore, best actress winner for a miniseries or movie, called the experience great fun. Jay Roach, executive producer of the series, said Moore was brave to take on the role of a political polarizing figure in the film, which balances her appeal as a sudden national figure and the chaos backstage in the campaign.

“Now with you and Tina Fey, we have three of the most incredible impersonations of Sarah Palin,” Roach said, “counting Sarah Palin.”

Moore made it a point to thank Fey, Sunday’s Golden Globes co-host known whose indelible Palin skits on “Saturday Night Live” enlivened the 2008 campaign, and newswoman Katie Couric, who had a contentious interview with Palin that year. She did not thank Palin.

Watch Roach’s speech, below:

“Homeland” won the Globe for best TV drama for the second year in a row. Damian Lewis, who stars as Sgt. Nicholas Brody in the ShowTime series, was honored as best actor in a drama and emotionally dedicated his award to his late mother.

Alex Dansa, executive producer of “Homeland,” recalled an arduous night of filming where star Claire Danes, eight months pregnant, had to do multiple takes being chased in a drainage pipe.

“We fairly killed ourselves trying to live up to the hype of that first season and this award tells that maybe, maybe, we didn’t screw it up,” he said.

Lewis said the last 18 months working on “Homeland” have been “an exciting, wonderful journey.”

“To pick up a piece of hardware like this is a great perk,” he said.

Veteran actress Maggie Smith, who plays Violet Crawley, the Countess of Grantham in the PBS period piece “Downton Abbey,” won as best supporting actress in a TV series. She wasn’t in California to receive her award.

Listening to or reading the comments of fools and liars is a waste of time and costs you IQ points. If a liar shouts his message and nobody hears him does he make any noise? The pied piper wants you too, he will be paid by the quantity of lemmings he marches to their doom.

Notice the Palin bashing continuing with the continued misogynist Lefty Democrat Progressives.
Even the lefty women bash other women, especially those they fear.
It’s part of the Alinsky Rules For Radicals tactics.
So sad for women today. They’re still in the Democrats’ line of fire.

  This is the only drumbeat that the Palinistas can come up with: they must fear her! No, no one fears The Quitter and Media Whore from Wasilla. What is cause for fear are the deluded, dim bulbs in Amurrca who actually found merit in this vile, lying hypocrite and voted for her by extension in 2008. All these ill-educated PTA soccer moms who found their narrow-scope lives validated by The Quitter’s presence. “She’s just like me!” We went down that road once before when Bush was elected because he seemed like a guy one could have a beer with at Applebee’s, and we’re still correcting all his messes.

Why are we not taxing Hollywood? If any industry deserves to be taxed for the negative externalities they create, it is Hollywood.

It is all getting rather old but now maybe they finally have it out of their system and hopefully sarah will not give them anymore ammunition – gotta say she does do that and the last photos of her in LA – I guess trying to fit in – did not help.

Is it just me or are these award shows turning into a big commercial for Liberalism as well as a huge circle jerk for Leftist thinking individuals in Hollywood?

Someone is very proud of himself and what he stands for… the video has been pulled. Additional searches will discover Jay Roach’s speech has been pulled from the internet.

You decide… is this the character of a person you would include in your list of friends?

I don’t think Palin has the same callouses on her knees that these “women” do.

  Sarah actually said you can see Russia from Alaska. Which is true.
  
  A buddy owes me $100 because he said he heard the interview when Sarah said she could see Russia from her house. A quick look at the map of Alaska will note that Wasilla is hundreds of miles from Alaska’s most western border. Would a reasonable person believe that anyone in Wasilla would make that claim?
  
  Next step for my buddy was find the proof Sarah made that statement. He has found the Tina Fey video… nothing supporting Sarah said that statement.

Humiliating people is easy, particularly when the humiliators have control of the media. You could take anyone and pick them apart because we all have quirks and flaws that when magnified would make everyone look foolish. Come to think about it, isolate and ridicule. Now where have we heard that before?

Tina Fey: President of the Sarah Palin Wannabe Club
Julianne Moore: Vice President of the Sarah Palin Wannabe Club

Would that the wannabees were half as capable and accomplished as Gov. Palin.

Of these three women, guess which one would actually answer the call to duty at 3am! Palin was a major contributor to the modern Tea Party. What did the other two ever do besides tearing someone else down?

The left just can’t leave Sarah alone, why do they fear her? Maybe because she is right about so much concerning our Country.

Sarah Palin is the ONLY logical Choice.
In 2016 vs Hillary Clinton.

The last President we had that clearly articulated
Conservative Values was Ronald Reagan an he had to
Go over the heads of the Republican Party an the Media
An Speak directly to the People of America.

The First thing Sarah did in Alaska was take on
The Republicans an The Corrupt Basturds Club.
Washington DC has a MUCH Larger Club of
Corrupt Basturds than Alaska. You begin to See
Why they Hate an Fear Her.
If She did in Washington DC what She did in Alaska
At least Half of the Politicians in DC would be in Prison.

I Would Make My Case by Starting with Last Year
Sarah Bought a Bus an started a Tour of America.
The Media followed her around an She Drew HUGE Crowds
Everywhere She Went.
IF She had gotten in the Race at that point She would have been the
Immediate Front Runner an the Establishment Republicans would
Have had to Destroy Her The Way they Did Herman Cain an
Newt Gingrich So She choose to Sit this one Out.
Cant Say that I blame Her after what they did to her an her Family
In 2008.

If you want a Harvard Law School Graduate, Moderate, Elite
Whom You Can’t hardly Tell from a Liberal Democrat.
(the Democrat Party has gone from Liberal straight to Communist)
Then Go Ahead an Keep Losing Elections.

  Part of her own downfall was playing out intensely her intent to run and stating several times over that she could beat obama and then dropping out was not a good ending.
