Nuclear Blast on TV's '24' Causes Fallout for Fox (PC crybaby alert)

ABC News ^ | 1/15/07

It's dangerous because this present administration wants any excuse to attack an enemy.

The reporter would accuse FOX of having an agenda but, that line from her article shows a clear bias and an agenda from her side.

Logan was David Palmer's VP, that would make him a democrat

No, he wasn't. We first met Sen. Logan as he prepared to debate Pres. Palmer. Logan was the Republican candidate for president.

In the scenes for next week, I saw one of the members of the Cabal -- I think he was face-to-face with Jack... the creepy doctor from ER a few years back... the one who lost his arm by helecopter blade. :)

I thought it was a little fake to have the neighbor be a nut case and beat up the kid (who's a REALLY big kid); the kid would have shot the guy if he'd just come over to talk, but I guess they didn't want to be that politically incorrect.

"Minor Past Season Spoilers"

I believe Logan was the VP of the president after Palmer. I cant recall his name but he was in Air Force One which crashed outside of LA (of course). That President was incapacitated therefore Logan assumed the Presidency at the end of Season 4 and may have been elected prior to Season 5. Someone else may be able to recall the details more accurately if I don't have them correct.

So sorry.

I'm no longer sure he's kooky, more scary than kooky. Did you read this one - http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1767820/posts ?

In Fonda’s Footsteps: Murtha, Kucinich, and the Antiwar Movement’s Economic War

I don't like the way that the writers handled it. He'd been a good soldier for too long.

[ishabibble]

Excellent point. I think that show was cancelled, but I'm not sure. I took one look at the troubled hero and the quaint, multicultural townspeople and gave it a pass.

CNN showed video of American soldiers being murdered. They will not show any footage from 9/11.
The howling moonbat insanity that controls that station is not limited to Ted Turner. Read up on Jack Cafferty, for the best example.

The depiction of the prez's sister, the oh so holier than thou civil rights lawyer, was chilling in its accuracy.

Her 'cause' was more important to her than the country.

That rings a loud bell.

[Alouette]

OK, you're right. I completely forgot about the President from season 4. He was so forgettable.

[MrB]

Just who is our most dangerous enemy in the world today if it isn't radical Islamists?

Yes, that's correct. Amend my last post to read Sen. Keeler who was debating Pres. Palmer. Logan took over when Keeler's plane was shot down.

Still, makes Logan a Republican.

[CastleMan95]

Extremely forgettable I agree.

[justshutupandtakeit]

Damn the torpedoes, full speed ahead. LoL. Never have seen an episode. My buddy got the first year for Christmas and is now obsessed. It is almost impossible to believe there is anything good on TV though. Well except maybe Aliens in the Bible.

[misterrob]

I think what was meant but unstated was that there is no way any black man would be elected to a high office unless he was a democrat. I mean, the writers have to stay in the realm of believability

[NeoCaveman]

Logan was David Palmer's VP, that would make him a democrat.

Logan was Keller's (or whoever that president that went down in the plane crash) vice president.

[EmilyGeiger]

Logan wasn't Palmer's V.P. He was the republican vp of the President that was in air force one when it was shot down. I believe that was season 3 0r 4. Palmer lost to the republican candidate at the end of season 2.....

As eyespy and I discussed this morning, what we learned from watching 24 Sunday night and last night is that if your neighbors go to beat the crap out of a Muslim neighbor, let them. That Muslim neighbor might just be a terrorist.

Just make sure your neighbor is packing something more that a bad attitude, because the kid is definitely carrying.

Perhaps if ABC and the rest of the MSM is so concerned about reality, they could show the Twin Towers falling


****

Listening to a talk show host this morning say "nine eleven" I was struck by the lack of force those words evoke. "Pearl Harbor" brings to mind the images we have seen so many times of (albeit black and white) planes bombing our ships and airfields in Pearl Harbor.

Since "nine eleven" or "nine one one" has a previous meaning to Americans --- call for help--- it does not have the punch of stimulating our resolve to crush the terrorists, but rather of making us feel helpless, in need of outside help.

Those numbers have become a shorthand to refer to the attacks of that day, but we need to refer to what happened on September 11 more forcefully. Some people use the word "tragedy of 9/11" -- again a weak, passive word. It was the Attack of Muslim Terrorists on New York and the Pentagon.

If Americans saw images on a regular basis of the Towers falling or of people falling out of the Towers, our antiAmerican media would not be able to shape public opinion into the apathy that so many feel now.

[misterrob]

No way. Palmer did not stand for reelection after Sheri was killed. That allowed the Republicans to take over.
