I will start off and say that I am probably a bit biased because I absolutely love 24. I started watching last season and have watched every season since including all the previous 4 episodes of the new season.

But...

Keith's entire premise for his segment about 24 tonight was that this show was some how designed to promote the Bush doctrine of fear. I have a real problem with this premise because the first 13 episodes of 24 were created months before 9/11 happened. This would also mean that the last 11 episodes of that first season were also written long before 9/11.

Now lets look at some other things. "President" Wayne Palmer was probably the biggest hero in this entire series outside of Jack Bauer, yet he was clearly identified as a democrat.

In the second season of the show Wayne Palmer goes against rushing to war with a country until all the evidance of that countries involvement in terror attacks could be verified. It turns out that in the end the country was innocent and a huge war was avoided. Granted, this season was written before Iraq but it aired during Bush's brain washing of american people to get us into a war in Iraq (Spet 2002 - May 2003).

Last season, while our entire government was controlled by republicans, the new president of 24 turned out to be a cronie of an organization responsible for all the terror attacks of that season. It wasn't muslims that were the enemy, it was the president that was the enemy. On top of that he was a total idiot.

I don't look at this as a political show, I look at this as a good show. Simple as that. I do understand what Keith was saying but I just can't agree with it since I have watched every episode of this show that has ever been released. On top of that a lot of idiotic republicans will use this to try and promote their agenda, but that's what they are, idiots so you really shouldn't take anything they say seriously.

*Puts on flame suit*
