"Say WHA?"

Tuesday night’s episode of The Good Wife on CBS gave prime time legitimacy to the presumption the Tea Party is racist as a lawyer in a courtroom tried to discredit an expert witness (Gary Cole as Sarah Palin supporter “Kurt McVeigh”) who testified against a since-exonerated black defendant, by demanding he admit he’s “a member of the Tea Party.” The lawyer asserts “it is our contention that my client’s prosecution was racist,” citing McVeigh’s “membership in a racist organization,” namely the Tea Party.
To illustrate, the program created a photo taken at “a Tea Party rally in Milwaukee last January” showing a man near “McVeigh” holding up a “Go Back to the Jungle” sign which the lawyer asks McVeigh to confirm “refers to our current President.” (large jpg image of the picture)
The February 22 episode marked the return of Cole’s ballistics expert “Kurt McVeigh” character as the love interest for Chicago law firm partner “Diane Lockhart,” played by Christine Baranski, a liberal who knows Hillary Clinton and has disdain for Palin. (Audio: MP3 clip)

As I recounted about a year ago in a March of 2010 post, “CBS Drama Showcases Blank Book that Mocks Palin as Empty-Headed Dunce,” with video:
On this past Tuesday’s episode of The Good Wife on CBS, viewers were treated to a scene in which a ballistics expert opens a gift, from a partner of a law firm, to find a book about Sarah Palin made up of, he discovers by thumbing through it, blank pages “satirically representing,” Amazon.com explains, “the mind and thinking of Sarah Palin.” The book, ‘Going Rouge: A Candid Look Inside the Mind of Political Conservative Sarah Palin.’
Back to this week’s episode of the drama starring “Julianna Margulies as a wife and mother who boldly assumes full responsibility for her family and re-enters the workforce after her husband's very public sex and political corruption scandal lands him in jail,” in a subsequent courtroom scene, the “McVeigh” character was allowed to defend the Tea Party: “It’s a political movement made up of conservatives and libertarians intended to apply pressure to the government to reduce spending.” The scene continued:
LOCKHART: Isn’t the Tea Party primarily anti-Obama?
McVEIGH: No.
LOCKHART: Then why wasn’t it formed under George W. Bush?
McVEIGH: There was hope President Bush would cut spending.
LOCKHART: Really?
McVEIGH: I would acknowledge that it was a slim hope and a thwarted hope, but the Tea Party is not about Obama. It’s about putting pressure on both parties to reduce.
Earlier in the episode, “Diane Lockhart” and “Kurt McVeigh” had this repartee about their political heroes:
McVEIGH, HOLDING UP PICTURE OF HILLARY CLINTON WITH ‘LOCKHART’: Mrs. Clinton seems to be doing quite well for herself.
LOCKHART: Yes. So’s your girl Palin. 2012 huh?
McVEIGH: That’s the hope.
LOCKHART: Dear God.
McVEIGH: Well it couldn’t be worse than your man Barack.
LOCKHART: Really? I’m always astounded when a man like you expresses such unadulterated drivel.
McVEIGH: Funny, I’m never astounded when you do.
"Say WHA?"
Which is no surprise because the Marxists actually INVENTED the notion of labeling their opponents as racists back in the 1920s as they found it to be an effective method to distract from themselves [ & ironically often their OWN racism ] while putting their opponents on the defense. The Marxists were also the ones who coined the term Politically Correct. The arrogance & tendency towards totalitarianism in that term typifies their whole mindset as they believe that only their train of political thought is quote: correct.
As an actual racist. I take exception to that entire article!
Someone actually watches that show?
But Diane did rebut each accusation well (although we know it pained her). Some of them were correctly off-the-wall (is that you standing next to a guy holding a racist sign?). It was not a total loss in that regard. But she is obviously a Palin-hater.
The most disgusting part to me was how they portray the Good Wife’s daughter who is asking about Jesus. They have her watching some radical guy on youtube who claims Jesus is the first rebel, that He came to bring chaos/anarchy (with flames in the video). Nothing about salvation or His sacrifice or anything about love and compassion. For some odd reason in this part of the story, Christians are supposedly concerned about global warming, which is news to me. Are they trying to insinuate that (now that GW is debunked) “superstitious” Christians bought into global warming?
And what is incorrect will die.
what you just said describes and has described way too many folks right on this forum for over a decade...without the socialism bent...some here race bait as good as any SPLC or NAACP hack
the homo purge nailed a few when they just couldn’t help themselves
I'm gonna go out on a limb and assert that many people on FR have pretty much given up on most TV at this point.
CBS wonders
Why nobody is watching...
Get a brain, Morans.
I like Dark Shadows
View Instantly on NetFlix
Victoria Winters...
the day is coming soon for these ass wipes
Does anyone watch this stuff?
I’ve never watched the show. Thanks to threads like this one I never will.
Liberals really are that dumb.
Pulling these stunts just drives the audience away.
The ones that are really smart are the ones whose politics you have no idea of.
I like the show “Criminal Minds” and it created a spin off “Criminal Minds, something else” that airs right after it. As I was watching it last night, they made a political comment 15 or 20 minutes into the show that made me turn to another channel. I don’t remember what it was, but I remember that I won’t watch it again.
I used to love watching Startrek Next Generation, but during one episode as Captain Picard was explaining Federation philosophy to some alien, his words were the paraphrasing of Marx’s “From each according to his ability, to each according to his need”. I instantly recognized that the Federation was a Commie Government. I have never watched an episode since.
I cancelled my tv service over a year ago. It is not missed.
Someone actually watches the Good Wife?
Why?
