Geez, where to begin? Last week Law & Order skewered O’Reilly, Beck & Limbaugh as crazy-town loons who incited people to kill. Then last Friday’s SVU show, they tackled every single current issue important to American patriots. Nothing was sacred, as it took up a whole episode of L&O.
The gamut ran from Tea Parties, ACORN, Hannah Giles, James O’Keefe, the alleged Fed census-worker murder, Bush voters, Town Hall meetings, “militant conservatives,” etc. They were also cast as “Jerry’s kids,” and ACORN was portrayed as a group called the “Rights Alliance Foundation” (whose sticker/poster looks eerily similar to one of the MoveOn.org Obama/Biden stickers).
The Libertarians/Conservatives were portrayed as someone called the “Patriot Rangers,” and depicted as “big-brother-hating,” gun-toting separatists who go to NYC holding “Don’t Tread On Me” signs while protesting to garner support for their newly-released-from-jail “fellow patriot” and his work for freedom. Only problem is, the rifles slung acros the shoulder don’t resemble anything that happened in real life.
Hell, much of this episode resembled nothing that happened in real life.
The bad guy of the episode is apparently a Bush-voting, Fox News-viewing, militant conservative, who masquerades as a liberal bed-wetter who possibly killed a peaceful “community organizer” when he really meant to kill a fed-loving lib. This “patriot ranger” also tries to bust the ACORN group by trying to punk them, posing as one of them, capturing undercover video of misdeeds.
The whole thing wound up as a messy and ugly story, which made little sense to anyone of any intellectual prowess. I would say I’m shocked, but with NBC’s corporate and social structure, I’m not surprised at all. Indeed, it’s par for the course for them, and probably one of the reasons why their shows are tanking in the ratings.
They just can’t help themselves, can they? They had to pack all of this anti-conservative, anti-libertarian B.S. in one crap-tastic episode of their message-driven bilge. They even include the requisite “Fox News” bashing.
An episode of any NBC primetime show should require the same life-saving accessories as any airline flight: an oxygen mask and a barf bag.
