Two members of a civilian border-patrol group similar to the Minuteman Civil Defense Corps were depicted as guilty of murder in tonight's episode of NBC's "Law & Order."

Minutemen, only guilty on TV!
When's the episode about the Illegal Alien who murders the cop?
A paycheck is a paycheck.
Law and Order like other NBC shows has become a political tool for the left. Recently all you see is what the left leaning elite think. The Homosexual/Lesbian agenda is being pushed very hard and now this.
So much for the fledgling "draft Fred Thompson" in this forum. I notice he's called "Fred Dalton Thompson" by the network. Trying to camouflage his "body of work", perhaps?
"When Law and Order like other NBC shows has become a political tool for the left."
When did this happen?
Nothing all that "recent" about it. We quit watching it years ago because so many episodes demonized guns.
Will this episode be aired in Spanish?
Did you catch any of E-Ring last night? Christian terrorists threaten to blow up Muslims.
Flaw & Odor
Flaw & Odor ripped from the hemline
Yeah, totally stupid and Hollyweird. Boring.
Watch Simpson's clip (Real media).
It's annoying because I really like the NYC edge to L&O, but Wolf has always taken groups, principally conservative, with which he has disagrements and stretched those disagreements into murder. Hell, he had two versions of Bernie Kerik being a murderer one on L&O and the other on, I think, L&O Crim intent.Wolf hides behind his disclaimer that the shows do not represent any real person, while at the same time the ads for all L&Os stress the "ripped from the headlines" content. Problem is the acting's great, the writing and dialogue make most TV shows appear illiterate, and they can draw on a multitude of actors to play those bit parts of NYers with extreme authenticity. So I am annoyed by the politics, but the show is too much fun to stay away.
Did L&O at one time *not* have a "liberal" bias?
I've seen only a few episodes, the last being
the one with the disturbed "conservative" postal
worker. That one was blatant. So I really don't
know about its past episodes.
Its been happening from the first , but lately its become the over riding interest of the show. Its gotten so bad I have quit watching it. The spin-offs are just so much crap where they make something off the wall fit into the program, and their forensic expert catches it every time.
Actually thats an ego thing of his.
From what I read, he has alot of pull, he just doesn't use it with the show except for his own personal self.
Example, he doesn't live in NYC for and the show has to accomadate his schedule (i.e. he still lives in his home state and only flys in for a few scenes shot together and then leaves, his scenes only last a couple of minuits).
I don't know if he still does this, but he used to insist on being known as a guest star.
Sam Waterson does use his pull with the show, and everyone is willing to listen to former Senator Thompson (who actually is a former lawyer....which is what made him).
As a Senator, he showed alot of principle, and had a solid record (though weirdly, he called himself pro-choice and had a solid pro-life record, I like the record), but as an actor, he seems to have dumped all his principles aside and just likes getting a big fat paycheck.
You might laugh, but according to the shows creator, Thompsons charachter (Arthur Branch) is supposed to be a strict constructionist constitutionalist conservative, but on the show he is made to be a pure political oppurtinist.
The early versions were pretty balanced.
The actor who played Ben Stone refused to go in a liberal direction and balked at certain storylines.
Michael Moriarty even had the character he played hint at being pro-life.
Ironically, the DA on the show now is former republican senator (and with conservative credentials) Fred Thompson.....and all he does he collect a paycheck.
Its a common problem on the shows.
He will "rip a story from the headlines", not once, ut twice and sometimes 3 times.
Law and Order SVU ripped off the Terry Shiavo case, which was on the original episode only a few weeks ago.
SVU though spun it around and made the guy who wanted to pull the plug a bad guy while on law and order it was the opposite.
< Fred had plenty to say, he just sounded a lot more likr Ted Kennedy, than Fred Dalton.
Status quo. L&O Criminal Intent threw in a sarcastic comment about the Patriot Act a couple of nights ago, too.
He seems to do a good job playing a RINO, maybe he fears a pay cut if he played a conservative character.
For the money he makes per episode, I don't think its to much for him to try and show some self respect.
I only saw a few minutes of last night's episode right before the half hour break. I knew it would be slanted. I did notice though a book in the store of one of the minute men. Was it a copy of Enemies Foreign and Domestic? It did look like a Gadsen flag on a yellow background. Did anyone record the show and could they check that out?
I no longer watch any of the "Evil White Man did it" shows [AKA Law and Order franchise] because no matter what story line or plot mechanism is employed by the writers in the end it's always the "Evil White Man did it".
I searched for a Law & Order thread so I wouldn't have to start one. Today, on A&E, there is a Law & Order Marathon. I've been watching for several hours and I've just AMAZED at how bad this show is...the acting...the self-righteous, holier-than-thou writing! It's atrocious. How on Earth has this show stayed on the air so long. It's almost laughable. Anyone else agree????
L&O has got to be written by lawyers. I know a lawyer who's into Law & Order quite a bit, and sometimes he's self-righteous. It wouldn't be so bothersome if it weren't so ... selective. I'm not much of a social conservative, but it's bothersome when he tosses out all the "socially aware" and "good of society" stuff out the window when it comes to many social issues.
Well if you did not like that episode of Law and Order then you probably will not care much for their (NBC's) new "drama" called Book of Daniel, but whatever you do don't suggest a boycott of their sponsors that might produce results and only liberals are allowed to use those kinds of tactics.
It was good in the beginning, when Michael Moriarty was on. The original cast was great. Chris Noth, etc. There are only so many changes a show can go through and stay fresh, I find.
I watched Spielberg's War of the Worlds yesterday. They could not resist the temptation to take a swipe at Bush (delivered by Tim Robbins character OF COURSE.) A couple of lines about "the occupation." Think Iraq wink wink. It was a very poorly constructed movie IMO. Spielberg has lost his touch. That aside, liberal drivel messages delivered in movies and TV should not surprise anyone.
I saw WOTW when it first came out. I actually went to the theater. It was just silly, IMHO. As you know, I will never see another Spielberg film again. Did you read that article Drudge has on his website, from the Hollywood Reporter, I believe. Prime example of the mindset in Hollywood...that they know it all and we out here are just mere morons who don't appreciate the genius that is Hollywood! It was hysterical. Maybe someone posted it...I'll ping you if I find it.
Boycott liberal shows. It's the only way...
