Last week I previewed the new documentary that chronicles how Sarah Palin became the person that the left and political insiders from both parties most hate and fear.
The documentary, defiantly titled “The Undefeated,” is striking in a number of respects.
It reminds viewers of the almost overwhelming level of vitriol, derision and hate directed at someone who is dismissed as lacking in intellect and ability. There can be no doubt that if anyone on the right engaged in a similar array of death threats, attacks on a politician’s children and coordinated, acid-tongued message-points against a liberal public figure, the U.S. attorney general’s hate crimes unit would be dispatched and MSNBC, CNN and The Huffington Post would be inflamed with indignation.
But the hate directed at Governor Palin is only a backdrop that reveals her inner toughness, determination and courage against seemingly insurmountable odds.
In Alaska, Palin unseated an entrenched mayor in Wasilla, and then went on to uproot a culture of corruption in Juneau that engulfed the Republican governor and other state officials.
Sarah Palin, the woman who made “drill, baby, drill” a catch-phrase, fought the oil companies to force them to drill the oil and natural gas on the public lands that they leased from the state. Palin also put in place the framework for a natural gas pipeline that will deliver this clean, abundant fuel to the lower 48 states for generations. Quite a record of success for someone who is satirized as being nothing more than a bubble-headed bimbo.
