Sarah Palin PAC Releases Trailer Mocking Upcoming 'Game Change' Film (VIDEO)

As part of an ongoing effort to push back against the HBO movie "Game Change" portraying the 2008 McCain-Palin campaign, the former Alaska governor's political action committee SarahPAC released a video Thursday mocking it.

The trailer opens with "HBO Films" morphing into "BHO Fiction" (a reference to President Barack Obama's initials), and then to "HBO Fiction." The video contains approving quotes of Palin from former John McCain strategists Steve Schmidt and Nicole Wallace and positive television clips from 2008. Former President Bill Clinton is even seen praising Palin as "gutsy, spirited, real."

Current and former Palin aides recently lashed out against the film, calling its portrayal of Palin "sick" and inaccurate, despite the fact that none of them had actually seen the film.

The filmmakers say that they strove for historical accuracy in the film, relying on the popular behind-the-scenes book of the same name by Mark Halperin and John Heilemann and conducting 25 interviews.

Despite the push back, Palin has said that she's not concerned about the film. Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) has said that he's not watching it.

Movie or not, the majority know the real Sarah Palin which is why she's not VP and why her poll numbers were so low when she was so called running for president.

Your leader is nothing more then a spoiled 3 year old who would abandon you to save herself without a thought.

I wonder why the Republicans are running away from Sarah? Was this film really that untrue???
LOL I really don't hear much about her accomplishments on any channel except Fox. She is another one of their creations. I hope her contract is over soon and they don't renew it. We've had enough of Sarah. I only wish Sarah would have had enough of us so she would disappear.

Sarah, which is it...

Is the film "unimportant" and undeserving of viewing, a blow off, as you said this past week?

Or is it a big enough threat that you took the time to produce this thing in anticipation of the film's debut?

After the ratings are released she'll be taking credit for HBO's success.

Sarah, those things in your PAC's video were said about you before your ignorance came to light. After, your camp had to continue with the farce to try to "save face".

"What have we gone?"....from 'Game Change'...sums it up nicely.

Oops, that should've been..."What have we done?"

LMAO!!! Nice try SarahPAC. Fortunately smart, knowledgeable people know the "real" Sarah......someone whose tendencies (to name a few) run toward being divisive, vindictive and snarky.

Love that statement "We're very pleased with the results". (! ? !). So am I, since McCain & Palin lost....LOL. And then they try to say they don't "spin" things......Too funny.

As for Hollywood, when all you have is a hammer I guess everything becomes a nail.

Even if it their face in a mirror. But, whom am I kidding, it is not as if Alaska Palin has a reflection.

I'd like to thank the Palin "camp" for keeping Game Change in the spotlight! Everytime I turn around, there's another article about this movie, and mostly thanks for Palin's endless "I'm a victim" comments.

Before I am mildly interested in this HBO movie, now I've got to figure out a way to see this blockbuster! Gee, Sarah - THANKS for the extra publicity boost!

Hey Sarahpac, if she was so stellar how come they LOST? The fact is once she started talking everyone knew, even repubs, that she was unqualified and out of her league. Talk about inaccuracy and bs.

Have you listened to Biden talk over the last few years. Now I call that humor.

LOL Biden IS the Vice President. Like I said once she opened her mouth she did them in.

Yes, that completely makes people forget the fact that Alaska Palin lost on the McPalin ticket in 2008, and quit because the "lamestream" media and politicians (in a completely red state like Alaska) were asking too many questions.

LOL

Something wrong here....I thought you could only use SuperPAC money if you were running for some kind of office.

Incorrect! You can use SuperPAC money for anything! There are no restrictions.
