Gabler: '24' Creator 'Right-Wing Fanatic;' Hall: Show Plays to 'Paranoia' [Video]

They're playing to the paranoia of this age

One man's paranoia (especially for a talking head) is another man's
reasonable concern (especially for thinking Average Joes/Josephines).

[Halgr]

Isn't it amazing that the TRUTH gets attacked by political correctness everytime....does anyone see a pattern here?

[EdnaMode]

I bet these guys are unaware that 24's producer and showrunner Howard Gordon is a liberal. And he seems to be friendly with Rush too.

[PGalt]

Message to dhimmi Gabler. It's fiction.

[EdnaMode]

Yeah,they claim the right is a bunch of fear-mongers, but they're always trying to brainwash people with irrational fears of global warming.

"America watches thi sshow becuase America wants a hero, a real man who is committed to his cause - the safety of Americans (and no one else counts for squat!)"

Mary Lynn Rajskub (Chloe) said something very similar about the appear of the show. Good observation:)

[Suzy Quzy]

Here's how the leftists do this.....they accuse a show of being Right-Wing so much that the Creators of the show turn into Left-Wingers just to get the Leftists off their back......then the show turns to crap and Nobody watches it anymore.

This is what has happened to FOX!!! Fox is Un-WATCHABLE because they have tried to shake the right-wing label and have catered to the left!!!

I finally got to watch the first four hours of 24 yesterday, and in the first 15 minutes, I told my husband: "This is scarier than the other seasons because it definitely could happen here, and soon." (All the terrorist bombings, etc) What do these lefties think? That everything would be gumdrops and rainbows if we just 'left them alone'? Yeah, right!

[JaguarXKE]

Yeah,they claim the right is a bunch of fear-mongers, but they're always trying to brainwash people with irrational fears of global warming.

That's just the fear of the day. In the 70's we were headed into another ice age. Back in the 80's they almost destroyed the Northwest’s apple industry with the Alar scare, and the list goes on...

[gusopol3]

right, somebody needed to call him on his lie.

Many in society took their advice on the threat of a population explosion, which only led to dangerously low birth rates and demographics that imperil whole nations. Extinction seems to be the goal of the Left.

Gabler is a gobbler.



or Gabler is a goober!! :>)

"They're playing to the paranoia of this age, and conservative people are picking up on it and saying 'this could happen here."

Shade of Algore's global warming except it isn't presented as entertainment. Now he is really playing to the paranoia (and the stupid) of the age.

[ditto h]

The lefties will defend Gores movie to the hilt but pooh pooh any warning about terrorism. I would ask Mr. Gabler which one of these threats is more likely to happen in the next 10 years.

[Tai_Chung]

Reality vs. Fantasy

I would like to see a poll that asks which do you believe is more likely to happen within your lifetime?
Global Warming melt the icecaps and push all coastal cities underwater OR an attack against the US with a weapon of mass destruction.

[veronica]

Olbermann wants the show censored. The airwaves are filled with liberal tripe (to say nothing of our public schools) but let one show tell a story from the Conservative side, and the Stalanists come out of the woodwork. Freedom of speech for me - but not for thee!!

[oldbrowser]

To have even the slightest concerns about the dangers our nation faces strikes a Liberal as being paranoid.

"I think therefore I am".

So liberals believe that if they don't think about terrorism it won't exist.

I agree........ soon after Iran is hit we will get hit. Not to say that Iran shouldn'r be drilled.

I think they are just waiting for a Demrat President to make their next move here.

[beyond the sea]

You may be right, but I think all hell is going to break loose around August.

[Beckwith]

I'm not referring to the poultry bird.
