Sarah Palin On Crying Report: I Was Not In 'Tears' Over Movie 'The Undefeated'

Sarah Palin is rejecting a report from the U.K.-based Daily Mail that she was "reduced to tears" after seeing a new documentary out on her tenure as governor of Alaska.

According to the British tabloid, sources said Palin got emotional after her husband, Todd Palin, became enraged by the film, which premiered in Iowa last week.

"Obviously we've seen our share of media lies, but the latest fabrications circulated take a big slice of the cake," Palin wrote in a Facebook post on Wednesday. "The UK Daily Mail reports that I was 'in tears' as Todd 'rages over Hollywood stars ripping' me in the new film 'The Undefeated.' Huh? Really? The beautiful town of Pella, Iowa, was flooded with an army of media covering the premiere of this film. You'd think someone would have caught those tears and rages on tape, right?"

Directing readers to video of remarks she made in the Hawkeye State, the former governor added, "The emotion clearly displayed was gratitude to the filmmakers who invested their own time and money into highlighting my team's record in Alaska. Todd and I were overwhelmed with gratitude, and we hope everyone sees this film." She went on to scold the media and said, "There's a story there, but you'll never find it if you continue lying and carrying water for the powers that be."

The film on Palin's time as governor features footage of Hollywood stars criticizing her. Matt Damon, David Letterman and Madonna are some of the big names who appear in the documentary. At the premiere of the film Palin asked the Hollywood Reporter, "What would make someone be so full of hate?"

The former governor said she was taken aback by the footage. "It makes you want to reach out to some of these folks and say, 'What's your problem?'" she said. "What would make a celebrity, like you saw on screen, so hate someone that they'd seek their destruction, their death, the death of their children? What would make someone be so full of hate and, I guess, a sense of being threatened that they would want to see that person destroyed?"

"Muthee's rhetoric has, if anything, grown more extreme since that 2004 sermon, as attested to in a recent post from journalist Max Blumenthal who traveled to Alaska to attend Bishop Thomas Muthee's September 20-21 appearance at the Wasilla Assembly of God. As Blumenthal describes:
On the first night of services, Muthee implored his audience to wage "spiritual warfare" against "the enemy." As I filmed, a nervous church staffer approached from behind and told me to put my camera away. I acceded to his demand, but as Muthee urged the church to crush "the python spirit" of the unbeliever enemies by stomping on their necks, I pulled out a smaller camera and filmed from a more discreet position. Now, church members were in deep prayer, speaking in tongues and raising their hands. Muthee exclaimed, "We come against the spirit of witchcraft! We come against the python spirits!" Then, a local pastor took the mic from Muthee and added, "We stomp on the heads of the enemy!"”

Her immaturity shines so bright in her FB remarks, inability to take any form of critisim, constructive or otherwise - She replies like a hurt teenager. That idiot loves to to responds in the form of questions to bring people to her "innocent, I am being picked on...don't you all agree with me" side. Childish woman, she is.

So Mrs Palin in regards to Barack Obama, what's your problem? Why are you filled with so much hate. Especially for a man you probably never heard of before August of 2008.

Just because Madonna is in your movie, Sarah, does not mean that anyone is Desperately Seeking You.

She needs to move on - no one cares about her or her children and no one threatened them - get a real life Sarah, preferably back in Alaska and let the rest of us get actual NEWS we care about without the whining...geez, how many times has she talked about people needing to "man up" yet she whines all day on Facebook or twitter. So over this old lady!

Sarah Palin is a woman who left high office to become a media star and make lots of money and become rich. She has done nothing to serve the public she supposedely cares about since the 2008 election. You can hardly call her a serious public servant and she has not seriously engaged in helping solve any of the big national problems of the last couple of years, and there have been many, not a serious, helpful voice at all. I hope america does not fall for her current con. Now there is nothing wrong with making money in America, but She has made her choice, now I wish she would go away.

so , who is asking for the death of her children? Frankly, I am tried of Palin, politics is rough, Obama has been bashed unmercifully for the last two years, bush was bashed unmercifully for 8 years ( though he deserved it). Who is our leaders is important, they make life and death decisions, they pick and choose who will get what and who will not. They may be responsible for unemployment and poverty because of their policies. So if people look at her and listen to her and have a problem with what she does and say well, this is the way it is supposed to be, becoming president is not suposed to be easy. She picks sides in the political fray and she is going to do what she is going to do and some people may be hurt by it and so they don't like it and what she says. This is polictics, where leaders decisons are not benign, it is not a movie or a TV reality show. I hope she sucks it up and try to understand what the job she seems to be seeking is all about. Some people are not going to like her, some people are not going to like her politics, some people are going to hate her, and there is nothing wrong with this given the leadership position she seems to want to seek. she needs to get our of politics if she can't handle it. tired of her whining.

She has an excellent publicist. The Pella Opera House holds roughly 500 people Almost everyone there was hand picked. There was a Barbeque afterwards. Her team does this, Like she had the book signing on a weekend at Walmart and announced 30000 people were there to see her. The fact is 30,000 people shop at that Walmart on Weekends and that estimate was low for Walmart. She tried to pull that with Rolling Thunder on Memorial Day and was stopped cold. The NY Times was correct when it wrote: Sarah Palins popularity is a media generated illusion that is not backed up by hard stats. Also if you look at the backgrounds it John McCain's audience during the campaign.
