Oh, I hear it was a Lutern church, and they used a trebuchet to scatter lutefisk and lefse over da neighborhood.  :^)

The group was obviously ripped off from that Devils Lake outfit in the alleged documentary, “Jesus Camp.”

Dick West, the Law and Order producer, is notorious as a soft-spoken but ever-so-insistent liberal.

The show has gone downhill some since the departure of Fred D. Thompson as the improbable “good ol’ boy” District Attorney, and the passing of Jerry Orbach, whose “Lenny Briscoe” character was the greatest smart-ass in the history of television.

“Poverty of goods is easily cured; poverty of the mind is irreparable.”

I used to watch, but it got way too easy to figure out whodunnit. It was always the loving father, devoted priest, hard-working businessman, etc., etc. Just spot the most upstanding character in the episode, and you’ve got your perp. Feh.

The worst part of the episode was where they maligned average everyday Christians, by having a verdict of not guilty. The prosecutor then announces that “his message resonates with Christians”.

Vicious, VICIOUS slander.

Obama/Biden is not change. It’s more of the same.

That’s the wonder of Hollywood: if real life doesn’t fit your world view you can just make shit up on screen!

I do not recall one movie or television show in the past few decades that portrayed Christians or Christian ministers in a good light. Usually, at a minimum they are viewed as bigoted, narrow-minded, judgmental, uptight, thiefs and murderers. So, this is not a shock to me at all, it is par for the liberal media course.

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

"7th Heaven” on the WB portrayed a minister very favorably. Ran for years and years.

And occasionally you’ll see a self-sacrificing priest or nun depicted working in the projects on behalf of the poor and abandoned. They’re victims of crime, often.

they used a trebuchet to scatter lutefisk and lefse over da neighborhood.

I don’t know what to think of that.  On the one hand, lutefisk is just pure evil (much like the black lump in the toaster at the end of “Time Bandits").  On the other hand, lefse is the Norwegian version of ambrosia.  I guess if the lefse were stale we could consider this a terrorist act.

Back to the subject at hand.  I still enjoy “Law & Order,” but the leftward tilt has always been there, even when Fred was on board.  For example, just how many non-white perpetrators have there been on the show?  On occasion, about every other season, they’ll throw in a black or Arab or Asian perp, but nothing near a representative sample of the population.  And, it was last season or the season before that they had 4 different episodes between the original series and SVU (which I call SCU for special conspiracy unit) that riffed on murder to hide a gay and/or drug addicted preacher’s shame (well one had the preacher’s son as gay but the same theme of hiding this hideous fact from a preacher’s congregation).  Obviously the writers were ripping from that one obscure outed gay preacher in CO (I think) headline.

Same ol’, same ol’.

I didn’t watch it more than a couple of times, but I recall the minister was very, very liberal, homosexuality was portrayed in a favorable light, there was no condemnation of sin and the pastor was a girly man.

By obscure of course you mean the former President of the National Association of Evangelicals, the largest evangelical organization in the world.

Does the man have a name?  I didn’t know it before the revelation of his illicit drug and sex activities and I’ve forgotten since then.  As a person who attends worship at least 50 Sundays out of 52 and is present at my church many other evenings for various activities, I can tell you that I nor anyone else in my congregation with whom I have spoken about this had heard of this man before.  Now, that is anecdotal evidence, but I would challenge you to find references to this guy in the press before his outing.  If you find even as many as half of the references of either James Dobson or Jerry Falwell in the year prior to the revelation of his problems then I will concede your point.

As for Seventh Heaven, yeah, the lead character was a sensitive new agey kind of pastor, but the advice was generally pretty mainstream: Don’t have sex outside marriage, sacrifice for your fellow man, faith, hope and charity. And it WAS Christian.

The last Zorro had a very heroic priest. 7th Heaven was generally pro-Christianity, tho in a very dilluted form. Narnia of course. Dairy of a Mad Black Woman, Why Did I get Married?, Madea’s family reunion...all of Tyler Perry’s movies are very pro-Christian. Click had a Christian message without being overly Christian (the Angel of Death takes a side mission to show Sandler how he’s wasting his life by ignoring his family).

There’s not a lot of them, but they’re there.

And the problem isn’t Hollywood being negative about Christianity. The problem is the MSM, Hollywood, and revisionist history liberals (and many liberal Christians) trying to malign Christianity by making people believe that it’s dangerous, a threat to their lives. That way the left can step in to make Christians go away for the public good. It’s for our safety don’tchaknow?

I used to be a very faithful viewer of Law & Order and could pretty much overlook the leftward slant.  The episode that pushed me over the edge was the Minutemen being vilified as murderers/kidnappers/vigilantes.  Haven’t watched another episode since.

does anyone have a list of the advertisers that ran during that showing of Law and Order? 

Id like to contact the advertisers that I am boycotting them and mail the list to several churches.  Their ratings are going down and they are already PAYING back money to their advertisers!

Please post a list on here of the advertisers during that show or email it to me at

Rob, you must be off your meds. This is not a joke. If you scrutinized so-called Fundamentalist Evangelicals as much as you do liberals, you would be aware of the hate-filled
garbage some preach in the name of Christ. Be informed. Be aware. You know I am beginning that the Old Testament was written by Conservatives; the New Testament by liberals. What do you think?

one of their best episodes ever. i enjoy seeing religious “fanatics” of any faith being shown as the monsters that they really are.
