Ameri-phobe Laura Dern Relishes Her Ignorance

It’s not often that a denizen of Hollywood is so crass as to admit that they enjoyed using their film work as a bludgeon with which to beat up a living person, but Reuters is reporting that the folks that made the upcoming HBO film “Recount” — and actress Laura Dern in particular — really relished making at least one person look like an idiot. Apparently Dern really enjoyed skewering Katherine Harris, the former Florida Secretary of State responsible for certifying the 2000 general election results.

Just as unsurprisingly, this film was written and acted without those involved in the movie actually talking to Katherine Harris herself.This movie is shaping up to be just another example of BDS and hatred for conservatives and Republicans. Will the left and Hollywood ever just get over it?
Actress Dern: ‘Loved’ Making Katherine Harris Look ‘Clueless’ in HBO Film

It would behoove the aging and irrelevant Miss Dern (Billy Bob Thornton couldn’t run away fast enough) to not to be so prideful about how little integrity she invests into her “work”. Research might have given her some actual insight, not only into her “character”, but into a history unrevised by script writers bending reality to conform with their hatred of this country.

Sparks from the Anvil offers some of the facts that the myopic and self-indulgent Miss Dern chose to ignore.

“Our sort of motto has been, get the story right, get the facts right, tell it honestly and tell the truth.”
-Kevin Spacey, actor portraying Ron Klain (campaign aide to Al Gore and former V.P. chief of staff), commenting about the HBO movie, “Recount”

How convenient, then, that the HBO movie, which debuted last Sunday, has this disclaimer: “based on certain facts”. Like the fact that this movie is written by, for, and about Gore-supporting Democrats? No revisionist partisan parsing of the facts present, right? Wrong.

The movie is passing itself off as a docudrama that is supposedly even-handed in its account.

One of the movie’s consultants is ABC’s Jack Tapper who admits to Washington Post’s Howard Kurtz:

the film is “a fictional version of what happened” and “tilts to the left because it’s generally told from the point of view of the Democrats.”

Entertainment Weekly’s Gillian Flynn (by way of NewsBusters):

Recount may not be downright blue, but it’s not as purply as it wants to appear. Despite its ”equal time” approach, Recount is an underdog story, and thus a Democrat story.

A good number of Americans are not aware of the political propaganda and partisan dishonesty that goes into a “docudrama” like this. It has the effect of indoctrinating more and more Americans to the liberal mindset and beliefs, that 2000 was a stolen election and Bush heir to an illegitimate presidency that was handed over to him by the Supreme Court. But as Richard Baehr writes, “the U.S. Supreme Court action probably prevented the theft of the election in Florida from occurring.”

But of course, releasing this movie in the middle of a presidential election year is about the future, isn’t it? Thanks. It’s good to be reminded that if it isn’t close, Democrats can’t cheat.

In the end, as Republican lawyer, Ben Ginsberg, puts it: “Republicans won the recount. Democrats won the movie.”

Enjoy your HBO fantasy movie, and dream on, Democrats!
