It may not be clear from the snips, but the article is pretty much making ridiculing those who view V as an insult to 0.

The promise of universal healthcare.
Favoring only media outlets that are uncritical.
Using devotion as a weapon, targeting gullible people.
Connections with terrorists and people who apparently have no traceable past of any kind.

Yeah. I see a few interesting connections to Obama.

Of course, "V" is a remake of a miniseries from the 1980's. It's not "about" Obama. But it IS about totalitarianism and how people get sucked into supporting a regime which can control its message, make wonderful promises, and harness the power of adulation and devotion. These regimes are always scary, whether it's Mussolini, Hitler, or Aliens from outer space.

The fact that people see the current TV and think about Obama is really very telling -- even if the writers of the show weren't thinking about Obama when they write it.
