Reader Poll: Why is Aaron Sorkin Obsessed With Hating Sarah Palin?

Aaron Sorkin is up for an Academy Award this year for his “Social Network” script, a film many on the left have criticized for its demeaning portrayal of women. Here at Big Hollywood, we’ve also documented at length Sorkin’s raging obsession with Sarah Palin, a dark anger with a life all its own that likely goes well beyond partisanship and says something about Sorkin himself. After all, he never criticized the former governor based on any kind of substance, never says here’s where she’s wrong on this issue or that — which would be perfectly fine. Instead, we’re aways treated to this nasty but revealing streak of name calling and personal attacks. What drives this? What drives a man who has everything to demean women in such a public way, both onscreen and off?

Well, we’re not psychiatrists and coming to any kind of conclusion regarding whatever Sorkin’s troubling personal issues are would only be speculation. So we thought, why not ask you? When the American people chime in, they usually get it right, so please do take our poll and help us to understand where this bizarre behavior might come from.
