This video explains the subject in a little more depth:

Note: No trash-talking cowards were actually pummeled during the making of this video.

Sarah Palin will be joined by an unlikely group of co-stars in her upcoming film: Matt Damon, Rosie O’Donnell, David Letterman and Bill Maher, among other Hollywood celebrities who loathe her.

The stars appear in the feature-length biography of Palin from documentary filmmaker Stephen Bannon that is designed to reintroduce Palin as a woman who rose from nowhere to become the nation’s most popular governor. …

While the celebrities are only a small part of the film, Bannon’s goal is to remind moviegoers of the vile comments made about Palin, and he hopes the rest of the film makes the case that they were calculated and undeserved. …

Bannon made The Undefeated for $1 million and he predicts that, whether or not Palin runs for president in 2012, the film will help shape the narrative of the election and the various campaigns.
 
“This will go off like an atomic bomb in the upcoming Republican primary,” he says.

Maher complains about right-wing rhetoric and then says:

No, because that’s the rhetoric they love. The Right-wing loves… the go-to rhetoric for them is ‘Wouldn’t it be fun to kill the people we disagree with?’

Then some in the audience start to argue with him, an audience that surely isn’t 100% Republican. No one comes to his defense.

Leno, hilariously, just sits there like he’s watching a crazy uncle poop his pants at Thanksgiving dinner and Maher’s closing rally about the Democrats reclaiming patriotism is wet with flop sweat. But at least he admits the Democrats come up short in the department of patriotism.  

More painful awkwardness below the fold.

Here are a few of my favorite repulsively liberal Hollywood moments of 2010:

10. Smallville’s last season. Yes, it’s a silly TV show but this is about the state of our uniquely American icon, Superman, and how flaky TV writers misused the character for political potshots this season. After making history as the longest-running comic book based series in television history (10 seasons), “Smallville” writers finally let loose and began idiotically tossing in anti-conservative insults. Case in point: this season’s “Smallville” villain is a conservative radio talk show host taken over by the supernatural forces of hate and fear.

Maybe it wouldn’t be quite as annoying if the lightweight writing of the show were better.

9. Kathy Griffin attacks Bristol Palin on VH1’s “Salute to the Troops.” In a desperate grab for media attention, comedienne Kathy Griffin targeted Sarah Palin’s daughter, Bristol, on the VH1 special. Quote the liposuctioned-Griffin:

“She’s the only contestant in the history of the show  [“DWTS”] to actually gain weight.”

Surprised by the loud booing from the troops, Griffin tried again.

“No, come on, come on. She gained like 30 pounds a week, I swear to God, it was fantastic. She’s like the white Precious.”

Griffin later admitted she likes to attack the Palin family because it gets her mentions on “The View” and “The O’Reilly Factor.” Once upon a time, there was a strict media prohibition against attacking the kids of politicians. However, with the Palins’ advent onto the politician scene, that taboo has long been abandoned. Instead of taking it on the chin, though, the Palins have been creatively fighting back ever since.

8.  Bristol’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ success equals Tea Party conspiracy? The media has a freak-out over Bristol Palin’s success on DWTS. Bristol makes it to the finals and the liberal media’s theory is that it must be a Tea Party conspiracy. Grow up.

7. Hollywood blames Christmas. Hollywood took a hike on Christmas films in 2010 and the media tried to pin the blame on lack of audience interest. Could it just be that Hollywood just isn’t making good Christmas films? Do the films, “Fred Clause,” “Christmas with the Kranks,” the box-office bomb, “Deck the Halls,” or the horror flick, “Black Christmas” really reflect what film-goers want? With this year’s Hollywood holiday haul falling below last year’s box office, the powers-that-be will have to find a better scapegoat than Christmas next year.

6. Maher pushes “Politically Incorrect” witchcraft clip of Christine O’Donnell. It was Sarah Palin all over again with the U.S. Senate campaign of Christine O’Donnell. Take one attractive woman, add an unexpected win in a senate primary campaign, a biased liberal media, and then stir. Bill Maher pulled an old clip of a young Christine O’Donnell from his TV show where she comically stated she “dabbled in witchcraft” as a teenager. The liberal media wouldn’t let go of the silly story and painted O’Donnell as a loon. Her liberal opponent, Coons, and his book, “The Bearded Marxist” got off the hook. Must be witchcraft.

5. Meathead says Tea Party on par with the Nazi Movement. On HBO’s “Real Time with Bill Maher,” actor/director Rob Reiner likened the Tea Party Movement to the rise of the Nazis:

“Hitler, by the way, never got more than 33 percent of the vote ever in Germany,” said Reiner. “He wasn’t a majority guy, but he was charismatic, and they were having bad economic times — just like we are now. People were out of work, they needed jobs, and a guy came along and rallied the troops. My fear is that the Tea Party gets a charismatic leader, because all they’re selling is fear and anger and that’s all Hitler sold: ‘I’m angry and I’m frightened and you should hate that guy over there.’”

He really is a Meathead.

4. PBS censors Tina Fey’s anti-Palin comments at the Kennedy Center Awards. Comedienne Tina Fey, who was honored with the Mark Twain Award for American Humor on a censored PBS broadcast, joked about the success of Sarah Palin (and women like her) being good for all women – “except those who need a rape kit.” Congratulations to Fey for lowering the bar for future Mark Twain Award recipients.

3. Obama endorses Comedy Central’s ‘Rally to Restore Sanity.’ Jon Stewart sees the success of Glenn Beck’s “Restoring Honor” rally and then Stewart and Stephen Colbert plan dueling DC rallies and promote them on their cable network. Failing to distinguish comedy from real life, President Obama endorses the rally saying, “Jon Stewart, you know, the host of The Daily Show, he’s going to host a rally,” Obama said. “70 percent of the folks are just like you. They don’t go around calling people names. They don’t make stuff up…They are just expecting some common sense. … Having those voices lifted up is really important.”

Stop. No, really. Stop.

2. Filmmaker Moore posts $20,000 for WikiLeaks’ Assange’s bail. That WikiLeaker’ Julian Assange should be tried for espionage in the United States and is wanted for questioning in sex crimes allegations in Sweden is, apparently, enough to make left-wing filmmaker Michael Moore go all moony-eyed at the mention of his name. After his arrest in London, Moore put up $20,000 to help Assange post bail.

1. Whoopi & Joy’s Bill O’Reilly walk-off on “The View.” Leave it to Fox News’ Bill O’Reilly to get under the skin of Whoopi Goldberg and Joy Behar. As soon as O’Reilly mentioned that the majority of Americans were against the 9/11 mosque being built near Ground Zero, you could see the steam literally coming out of Golberg’s ears. In full-on Islamic sensitivity mode, “The View” girls stomped off the set when O’Reilly dared to say Muslims were responsible for 9/11. The ladies claim they were mad because O’Reilly should have said “extremists.” Hmm…one wonders if Joy and Whoopi were as upset when 9/11 actually happened. Come on, Whoopi and Joy, the 9/11 tragedy took place just ten years ago. You cannot have forgotten already. Have you?

Additional runners-up for the 10 Most Repulsively Liberal Hollywood Moments of 2010 include: singer and anti-toilet paper activist Sheryl Crowe who claimed that Tea Partiers were uneducated; “Sarah Palin’s Alaska” TV series is criticized as “unpresidential” yet Barack Obama’s dancing on “Ellen” and his endorsement by a talk show host named Oprah in 2008 were not; America’s most popular political figure to date, Bill Clinton, used to play his saxophone and…his presidential intern.

Hmmm…presidential much?

Whoever said the mind is a terrible thing to waste must have been watching TV in 2010.

The big topics of the week were Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and the presidential fly killing:

The election of Mahmoud was compared by the talk show hosts alternately to the 2000 Presidential and the 2008 Minnesota Senate elections. Fallon claimed that now that his opponent lost, he’ll go on to make a documentary about Global Warming.  David Letterman actually did a joke almost every single night, changing the punchline from Florida voting machines, to Pat Buchanan, Al Gore, Al Franken and Jeb Bush.  Bill Maher used Norm Coleman then criticized his audience for not knowing who he was talking about. The funniest line was Ferguson’s who claimed that Iranian politics have finally gotten as corrupt as Chicago.

Ferguson and Conan get the Writers Over Shoulders Award for making a joke about the fly being eaten like a lizard.  Ferguson speculated that it would be done by Cheney, while Conan put a computer animated tongue in the president’s mouth, snapping the fly off his wrist. Kimmel gets an honorable mention for putting a sound effect of flatulence behind the video so it looked like the President was trying to fan the odor away.

The Most Overused Person as a Punchline goes to Thomas Prusik Parkin, the man who dressed up like his dead mother to collect her social security check. David Letterman accused both Elton John and Barry Manilow of dressing like their mothers on alternate nights. The funniest line he said was that he was so good at dressing up like an old woman that Ashton Kutcher wanted to date him. (He told a similar joke the following night, saying if he wanted to look like an old woman he should have dressed up like Madonna.)

John McCain buying a hybrid was another big story of the week getting attention from Conan, Fallon and Letterman who used it for ageist jokes. Letterman claimed that a Hybrid to McCain would be a horse and buggy while Conan claimed that to McCain, hybrid meant an AM/FM radio. Fallon claimed that seven months ago he couldn’t use a computer, but now he’ll have a hybrid and a twitter account; perhaps he’s the new Benjamin Button.

Jimmy Fallon reached all the way back to an administration that predated his talk show career to deliver the Lamest Attempt at an Obama Joke, claiming that George Bush tried to one-up the new President by killing a fly himself, but it took 20 minutes of clumsy two handed swatting. There were also a couple Bill Clinton as a predator jokes during the week. But the Oldest Presidential Reference goes to Stephen Colbert, who ran Richard Nixon’s quote about Bohemian Grove being “faggy.”

Most of the week’s Obama material centered on the fly. One exception was Jon Stewart who derided the President for trying to fix Health Care in the middle of a war on two fronts and trying to keep the nation from looking like it did in the Grapes of Wrath. But the Funniest Obama Line goes to Conan who claimed that while President Obama was on the phone talking to Phil Jackson and Dan Bylsma, Joe Biden got to talk to Tito Jackson and a real penguin.

The Most Interesting Interview of the week was Governor Mike Huckabee on the Jon Stewart Show. Governor Huckabee very clearly laid out the constitutional pro-life position for the Daily Show audience. Stewart, was defenseless against a rational case for the rights of the unborn, especially since Huckabee’s position was not based in religion, zealotry or misogyny–the straw men Stewart usually attacks. His audience also appeared stunned, as they were not able to perform their trademark trained seal-clap more than a couple times during Stewart’s humiliation.

The Angriest White Man is still Bill Maher, who after a brief flirtation with moderateness, struck back at those of us who congratulated his criticism of Obama. In a remarkably unfunny rant, Maher warned Republicans:

And as far as you folks on the right, who think that we’re now somehow in league: we’re not in league. I was criticizing Obama for not being hard enough on the corporate douchebags you live to defend.  I don’t want to be on your team, pick another kid.

Gee, all we did was compliment him for being fair.

Besides Letterman, perhaps there might have been another threat issued down to a host last week. It seems David wasn’t the only one, who had to apologize to his “sponsors.”
