Last night a brave and insightful documentary was aired that accurately portrayed the wave of ObamaMania that swept the nation. It was called “V” and aired on ABC to mostly rave reviews and tremendous ratings.
There was another documentary about the Obama campaign on HBO, but that left out a lot of relevant facts, so spaceships and lizard-people aside, ABC wins the veracity award.
The parable is, an attractive group of aliens show up, out of the blue, and offer universal health care, advanced technology and world peace in exchange for our trust and devotion. All we have to do is believe everything they say without question. Which means, don’t ask anything about their hidden motives or past associations because that would be racist impolite. In fact, one reporter who is offered an exclusive interview with their leader is admonished not to say anything negative or they would be denied access (Hi, Fox!).

This is not just a right-wing worldview but the worldview of the paranoid Tea Party movement. I’m really not sure how this made it onto network television. Maybe the calculation is that Glenn Beck will start urging his viewers to watch and a ratings bonanza will ensue. (I don’t expect scientists will be the scapegoats in the new series, as the original “V” alien campaign to tar scientists as a fifth column sits uncomfortably close to the current right-wing view that the world’s leading scientific organizations are conspiring to suppress evidence that global warming is a hoax.)
Naturally, when a show debuts to huge ratings and mostly great reviews, the producer’s career is golden. Not this time.

One thing’s certain, I doubt the “V” would find too many people in this administration very appetizing.

Loved that show when I was 13.
It wasn't really emphasized on the show, but an interesting detail is that the body of a terrorist is found. The guy has a passport, but there seems to be no record of his existence anywhere. No old paperwork showing his history. Like he just popped out of thin air.
I had to think of Obama: no birth certificate, no college records, no health records, ambiguous passport usage in the past. Where did he come from?
Tuesdays at 8 Eastern on ABC
The Obamahns are going to be positively unhinged about all this!
Viewer uptick in the second half hour. THAT’s word of mouth.
The original “V” was a refection of fascist take-overs in Germany and Italy. Tells you a lot when the re-make reminds us of the Obama regime! LOL!
As I recall, the principles were in a dangerous gunfight...and then there was regime change back on the homeworld and everybody was friends as Diana and the "bad lizards" were swept out of command. Man, what a copout.
I still remember the Bald CIA Agent pouring the Red Dust down the throat of one of the alien guards and walking away as he twiched to death. Man, pulp fiction, but GOOD.
Anyone remember the suck-up Hitler Youth Boy in the original series who SOOOOO wanted to please the V's...and then got served as a main course. Loved that. There's your Hope and Change, pal!
Have you noticed when FR slows down you are tempted to hit the post button multiple times because you think it will get it moving?
A new day has arrived for the people of Earth just when they need it most. A race of beings mirroring ours in appearance, the Visitors – or V’s as they are called – have come bearing a universal message of hope to the world. There are those who quickly accept them with unwavering devotion, but others who begin to question what their mission really is. As the truth unfolds and the V's loyal masses grow, people begin to realize as long as the Visitors are here, no one can be sure what tomorrow will bring – good or bad. -ABC
Let’s see now.
A show that bases the behaviors of the antagonists on WWII fascism is seen by 0bama supporters as a commentary on HIS administration.
Do these people ever add 2 & 2?
I am amazed that they were able to keep this part of the story line secret until the show aired. This kind of stuff usually gets leaked. It makes me want to watch it now. I remember watching the original TV series.
Thanks! We belong...so I’ll have to get it out.
She looks like a mannequin.....which I guess is the point.
Talk about an earworm...

Greatest American Hero - Believe It Or Not
‘V’ is mirroring the Obama Marxists. I am stunned a television network so in bed with Obama would run the show.
