Want to p!ss off the left? Everybody watch every single episode of the new ABC mini-series “V.” Drive the ratings through the roof. Make the show the hottest cultural happening since Seinfeld. Copy the hairstyles. Ape the fashion. Start bidding up the action dolls on Ebay.
And most especially, actually tell people you believe that this is a show about Obama and the left. It isn’t, but if you want the liberals to poop in their pants, say you think it is.
I find it not a little ironic that Jonathan Chait would see a “Tea Party Worldview” in a show that is such a hammer over the head metaphor for fascism. That’s because in the universe created for “V,” the birthers are right, the paranoid loons who believe Obama is a Muslim terrorist have a point, and there really are Haliburton built concentration camps in Utah.
Except the plot line follows fairly closely the original “V” which aired before many tea partyers were even born. This makes any overt connection to Obama problematic, although the writers manage to stick it to the president on at least one occasion when “national health care” is mentioned to describe the Visitors plans to help humanity.

“V” ping!
I’m conflicted! NCIS is on at the same time. I did watch V this week and it was pretty entertaining and indeed - we can see similarities in how the annointed one is trying to win over the children.
If you would like to read the ORIGINAL.....................
The new V is an up-imaged copy of the old V.
The story was just as valid back in the mid 1930s as it is today.
Any criticism that leftists see in “V”
should tell them that their own ideology
is inherently fascist.
They need to own that.
The theme is fascism. They see it as criticism of them and their leader.
THEY are the fascists.
Now THAT’s an overlord I can believe in! ;-P
Nice lizard.
“It can’t happen here” is exactly what you’ll hear out of any leftist when you describe the similarities between their ideology and agenda and the ideology and agenda of totalitarian, genocidal fascist and communist regimes throughout history.
THEIR leaders are benevolent, unlike Hitler, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, etc,
even though they are using the exact same tactics and slogans.
Is there a website just dedicated to “V”?
I can’t remember where, but Tuesday night’s “V” is already posted for easy viewing in its entirety on the internet.
History shows that the ‘road to serfdom’ seldom takes any unnecessary turns.
The ‘progressive tyranny’ seldom react to the force of logic but continually resort to the logic of force.
As the ‘producers’ are scattering, what will the ‘looters and moochers’ do?
Um, “I will be in my bunk”.
j/k
Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely..................
For the record, they didn’t say “National Health Care”... they said “Universal Health Care”. Picking nits, I know... but no reason to whack a hornet nest repeatedly. The libs are already pooping.
Could you put me on your ping list
Lizards make good companions.
I felt the same way but I did watch V instead of NCIS. I have Comcast so I can watch TV shows on the On Demand feature. I probably will watch NCIS this weekend.
