When I first heard liberals howling about supposed anti-Obama messages in ABC’s new sci-fi drama “V,” I rolled my eyes. The story of Earth falling for the false promises of sinister aliens may sound like the Barack Obama Hope-&-Change Tour 2008, but it’s hardly a new theme for the science-fiction genre—not only did “The Twilight Zone” famously tackle it way back when, but “V” itself is actually a direct remake of a TV miniseries that first aired in 1983. Any resemblance between the 44th President and two-faced space lizards had to be coincidental…at least, that’s what I thought before Sean Hannity aired clips from the new show.

Stop the presses! Hope-bringers who won’t tolerate an adversarial media, because it would distract people from the cause of health care reform? It’s certainly a breath of fresh air from mainstream entertainment’s usual modus operandi. Now that’s change we can believe in!
Somebody in Hollywood must have been asleep at the switch in order for “V’s” thoughtcrimes to make it past the drawing board, but now that the Left has noticed, it’s time to crack down:
Naturally, when a show debuts to huge ratings and mostly great reviews, the producer’s career is golden. Not this time. Apparently the network who gave Obama an infomercial and refuses to release the “Path to 9/11″ DVD decided to replace the show runner Scott Peters before the pilot even aired. In fact, ABC hosted a big visit by press people last Monday, but Peters was notably absent. Exec producer Steve Pearlman spoke with the reporters.Peters has been demoted to exec producer, a largely honorary title and has been replaced by former “The Shield” and “Chuck” alum Scott Rosenbaum.

The difference is this time you get blacklisted for not being a Communist. ;-)
I am going to need a box, a stick and some string....
“Here lizard, lizard...”
That’s mine, and I’m thrilled that other people are starting to post it. I might have to get it onto Cafe Press, MrB.
You mean that the original show was REAL?!? ;-P
I want it on my car... like... yesterday!
I stole it too, but I gave him credit. As my avatar at conservativecave.com
Combined with the fact that the alien resembled physically Obama, -in a cartoonish way, granted-one just can’t help but go in that direction. It was just plain weird and creepy.
But I see your point. Us dumb hillbillies call it projection.
And those guys in the WH are doing it big time! (along with all their lil’ minions.)
Maybe we should make big signs for the protests
Oh, I dunno.
Facial resemblance is remarkable down to the flicking tongues tasting air. LOL
Can you *imagine* the mind that'd let this pap in, never-mind *like* it? LOLOL!!!!!
I tivo’ed it, and watched it last night. I thought it was great, interesting, and lots of nice ‘one-liners’.
I believe that after Saturday, you will be able to watch the episode at abc.com
Your post made me think of the series “The Unit.” When I first noticed it, I thought it would be a good military/action show. But they had to put in all the wives’lives stuff in it and ruined the whole thing.
I thought the first episode was a great start. It will be interesting to see how the series goes forward. If it takes the typical liberal turn I expect it will the show will die. If they stay true to the original theme of fighting fascism it will be a big hit.
It’s about time we all carry a red can of spray paint with us.
