LAW & ORDER episode on "Christian Fanatics" (Vanity)
self

Posted on 03/19/2008 11:36:17 PM PDT by L.A.Justice

Did anyone else watch the LAW & ORDER episode on Wednesday night? I managed to catch last 30 minutes of it.

Jason is accused of stoning his mother to death because she was having an affair. He is a student of a pastor who runs a Christian camp for children. DA people play a videotape of the pastor's sermon...The pastor tells the children that we are in a "war" with Islamic fanatics. He speaks out against "hypocrites". Prosecutors shake their heads...The deputy prosecutor states that one doesn't have to go to Middle East to find a school for extremists.

Jason accepts the deal for 15 year jail sentence. The DA's office charges the pastor for inciting the murder of Jason's mother.

There is a trial. The pastor, on the stand, states that we are in a struggle against radical Islam...The prosecutor accuses the pastor of brainwashing kids. One woman stands up and tells the prosecutor that he will go to hell.

The jury goes into deliberation. A problem...One juror is busted with a bible. The prosecution asks for mistrial. The judge refuses. The jury refuses to convict the pastor...DA McCoy says that our "radicals" will go up against their radicals...McCoy wonders when the war would end.

This was a silly episode. The message seemed to be that "radical Christians" were just as dangerous as "radical Muslims". Moral equivalency? This episode portrayed Christians mostly as wackos...I guess that's not really new in Hollywood...

No problem.

Once one checks the first 2 links and then scans the rest; my post fits in for posterity and archival purposes.

There is a thread about these God-awful shows once every month or two...BUT YOU STILL KEEP WATCHING!!!

Stop watching this shit, and tell NBC why you have stopped.

Until then, the Left will continue to rule the media, have more influence over your kids than you, they will continue to make millions thanks to you, and things will continue to get worse, because they will have rea$$$$$$on to do so.

Conservatives are hawks outside the borders, but doves inside it. That is why we are losing.

I was hoping that Thompson, if elected would appoint Jack McCoy AG.

Jason is accused of stoning his mother to death because she was having an affair.

Cue the "Aw geez" guy -- Cold Case had an episode last season in which high school kids in an pro-abstinence group stoned to death a girl who quit, became sexually active, and defended a gay boy against their taunts.

I think the Media Resource Center ought to host an award ceremony similar to the Razzies that give prizes to the most outrageous stereotypes of conservatives, Christians, and traditionalists in TV and film.

I believe that they do just that. Think I saw it on C-SPAN.

Law & Order has been one of my favorite shows for years but I’m just about to get my fill of it. I bet there have been at least five different episodes since 2001 that start off looking like there’s going to be a Muslim criminal, but it ALWAYS gets twisted back around to portray the Muslims as misunderstood innocents, the victims of totally unwarranted bias and suspicion.

And gosh knows HOW many episodes have portrayed Christians as nuts.

When tonight’s episode started, I KNEW they’d exonerate the Muslim angle. Zero doubt on that point. When they did a double-whammy and twisted it back on Christians, I switched it off with a sigh.

And gosh knows HOW many episodes have portrayed the poor homosexuals as oppressed victims.

And of course the cops on the show always disagree with the federal government’s need to monitor terrorists.

It’s all getting really really really old and tired. I watched an episode a few days ago from the early 90s, when they were making minor fun of homosexuals. My oh my how things have changed in just 15 years.

On that last point, isn’t it amazing how the liberal sensitivity evolves? 20 years ago, liberals at large would have been just as likely to crack homosexual jokes as anyone else. Then some Liberal PC Officer somewhere declared homosexuals to be their next pet victim class and boom, they’re all wringing their hands. What a weak-minded bunch they are. It’s like they sit around waiting for someone to tell them which splinter group they must next champion.

Most programs these days take a very liberal tilt. An episode last year of NCIS starring Mark Harmon had an story line about Islamic terrorists bombing buildings in D.C. One of the characters mentioned Islamic terror bombings to Harmon’s character, and Harmon responded with something like yes and we have a lot of anti-abortion nuts going around bombing abortion clinics. The rampant anti-conservative, anti-Christian tone of most tv shows is inescapable.

"moral absolutes"

The idea that libs have no morality is not the conclusion I come to. They do have a morality, it's just the opposite of Christian morality. Killing kids in the womb is perfectly fine with them, but cutting down a tree or wearing a fur coat is a crime to be punished with extreme measures. Their morality is a Bizarro world morality, but they do have one.

How did they write Fred Thompson out of the show?

He got a better offer doing celebrity endorsements:

Nothing wrong with L&O that this guy couldn't cure!

I thought she was cute, but she’s gone this year, replaced by another hot redhead.

Fixed.

What I've heard is that Julianne Nicholson will be back on the show -- she took maternity leave. The writer's strike kicked in and they ran out of scripts, or she'd have already been back by now. Alicia Witt might be a recurring character, but she was always meant to be a temporary partner for Logan.

Liberal bias (fiction TV)and leftist historical revissionism (”documentery” channels) is everywhere.Consider it non-stop public education post K-12 and colledge.
Just yesterday on the Military—yes the MILITARY channel-they marked the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the Iraq War as being solely caused by Bush’s “claims” to there being WMDs there.
We can only teach our children the truth—home-schooling is actually more important for those in public education than for anyone else.

I know that this is off topic, but do you know when season six of ‘The Shield’ will be coming out on dvd? I am dying to see what happens after Shane killed Lem.

Isn’t Law and Order based on true stories. Could this story actually have happened? See that is why I don’t have a major problem with Law and Order because they say they are actual cases that happened.
