Ah…I miss the good old days of REAL TV.

10 out of 10!

Sgt. Friday–I salute you!

Freak’in Awesome

Calvin&Hobbes   September 7th, 2009 - 12:32 pm

That has got to be one of the best videos to share.

It’s hilarious and hits the nail right on Obama’s head.

These were “just word” and these particular words are great words to live by.

Thank you — whoever put this video together.

It’s very disappointing to see something like this. Joke or not, a couple of white guys scolding the President of the United States is not entertaining, it’s downright racist.

What’s a “placard”? Ha ha, idiots!

David C.   September 7th, 2009 - 1:16 pm

Excellent video. Very entertaining, and it has some value to it.

Gandhi's Fist   September 7th, 2009 - 1:20 pm

@Anexio

Black guys, white guys? I only saw a liberal politician being lectured by a couple of good actors playing police detectives. You must be racist.

IceCream Rover   September 7th, 2009 - 1:22 pm

That was sooooooooo phony. Anyone could tell those acters were not really talking to Obama. The haters will try anything to get their way.

claudehopper   September 7th, 2009 - 1:39 pm

Oh really, IceCream Rover? I take it since you thought that was such a revelation, that no one else noticed it was mixed together. Idiot. Just the same, the message of the actors was spot on!

Veritas   September 7th, 2009 - 1:56 pm

That was great. In the original Dragnet episode, they were talking to some radical anti-war, commune loving, teenage thieves that wanted to start a new country. They got busted because they were stealing items they “needed” in order to get there new utopia started. LOL great way to correlate that into what is happening today!

Eddie   September 7th, 2009 - 2:03 pm

Excellent! One of the funniest and most hard hitting re-mix vids I’ve seen! Tells it like it is. I’ve sent the link to dozens of my friends! Whoever did it did a great job editing! Thanks!

Billy-Mays-From-The-Grave   September 7th, 2009 - 2:17 pm

Now that’s must-see TV!! Would you like some Oxyclean with that viewing?

WHO?!

Can’t you get a comment from someone who is remotely known by people under 55?

derek marlowe   September 7th, 2009 - 3:39 pm

Lets get SnopDog for the above poster, so he can relate.

Fnexio Farse Fark B Fonds Fhatfhatfhat   September 7th, 2009 - 3:46 pm

This should be shown in all schools after B-HOE’s speech. How about that you liberal racists pigs?

Whatwhatwhat   September 7th, 2009 - 4:01 pm

@derek marlowe: SnopDog? Do you mean Snoop Dogg? Take your alzheimer’s medication you old coot.

IF only fiction was reality

321GO   September 7th, 2009 - 6:44 pm

Love it !

Kevin   September 7th, 2009 - 8:03 pm

Disagree with Obama and you must be a “Hater” according to IceCream Rover.

Lady liberty   September 7th, 2009 - 8:20 pm

very creative video..why that person must be a FREE THINKER…….

Larse   September 7th, 2009 - 9:52 pm

All true propagandists can us old clips and cut and chop them for their own evil….

You can turn Hitler’s old speeches into a pro-Jewish love fest with the magic of editing…

I find this video sad and pathetic… Who else’s words can we use and abuse fully out of not only context, but time itself…

http://www.youtube.com/user/bulletpeople

You should know the stories behind the people that really “did the work” before you stupidly steal their work…

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Webb

Although much of the series has been released to the Public Domain. It is very sad to see that abused in this way…

Nick D'Orazio   September 8th, 2009 - 4:57 am

Thanks for the nice comments on the editing. We got lucky. Great speech. Hat tip to Preston Wood for the script and of course the excellent Dragnet cast.

Larse: I’m a hard-corp Jack Webb fan since I saw the episodes as a 10 year old cheering the one sane voice coming out of the TV during those idiotic years. I’ve read one of the 2 biographies on him. He rose from the wrong side of the tracks by being a tireless worker who went to tremendous lengths to research his topics and present police work with unprecedented realism. I would not want to misrepresent his memory. Let me know what’s wrong with the ideas in the video.

p.s. My favorite Jack Webb story: John Landis pitched the role of “Dean Wormer” to Webb, who just sat wordlessly smoking cigarettes and drinking scotch. He turned down the movie as too disrespectful of authority.

PLACARD meaning   September 8th, 2009 - 6:23 am

Anexio, a “PLACARD” is used to warn of hazardous material.Wether it be the dribblings of A$$HOLES like ICE Cream ROVER,Larse,What,What,What,the POS named Anexio or even the Big “O” himself.Intelligent
people tend to stay away,while…well, you’ll never understand.

I wish FOX would show this, this is GREAT!!

Mind boggling ignorant. This guy and others like Anexio and Larse represent the so called Liberal Minded Elite? Embarassing really……

Bill   September 8th, 2009 - 9:00 am

Anexio is a blatant racist. And the worst kind, because he should know better.

Patrick   September 8th, 2009 - 10:42 am

Again with the 6 million.

Mr. Idiot   September 8th, 2009 - 12:00 pm

Obama’s health care plan has what plants crave – electrolytes.

Remo   September 8th, 2009 - 3:15 pm

Now THESE are two actors I wish Obama would listen to!

Scott W. Somerville   September 8th, 2009 - 3:16 pm

I love the dialog. Good, clean, old-fashioned values from “The Greatest Generation” to idealistic (but not exactly law-abiding) youth.

Nailed it!

I wonder how many fathers of children like myself have thoughts of leaving their children enough money to vacate this rapidly declining insane liberal god-less cCountry and allow them to go somewhere to escape this madness.
We need a new Reagan. Someone who can inspire us and give us our Country back.

Rintrah Rosenberg   September 9th, 2009 - 3:23 pm

Dragnet, of course, rules. We watched it for its camp value the second it went into re-runs in 1974. This is typical of the white anti-Obama hysteria that grips mental Confederacy in the grey matter of many older folks. First, they continue to insist that our country is tops in education and healthcare etc. We aren’t. Not anymore. And why not? Cause our capitalist class to disinvested in our own country. It’s been a bipartisian affair but the Right of course owns the ‘Free Market’ idea. the fact is that Obama is a centrist who respsects our country’s institutions.

Janet   September 10th, 2009 - 9:02 pm

OMG…..I remember watching this show as a little girl and thinking…this show is as stupid and ignorant it gets. And you right wingers hail it like a masterpiece. It’s every cliche in the book. Nothing original, no depth, spoken like mindless zombies. You have no corner on patriotism nor do you define it. Heaven help America and heaven help Presdient Obama to save it.

mark   September 11th, 2009 - 1:13 am

Back then we still had the remnants of a middle class. Joe Friday might change that speech a bit if he were alive today. I see no one from the right wing capable of bringing it back. Oh yeah …i guess Rush could come to the rescue … what a joke.

gschong   September 14th, 2009 - 9:57 pm

What’s both racist and tragic is that the Democrat party has yet to apologize for their historic role in supporting slavery, discrimination, the enacting of Jim Crow laws, opposition to civil rights legislation, and promoting a culture of government dependency (“soft” enslavement) that has harmed multiple generations of minority families. Rev. Martin Luther King’s niece, Dr. Alveda King, has cogently chronicled all of these atrocities, as has freerepublic at: http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2113399/posts

sonny   December 7th, 2009 - 9:52 pm

Wow, I suppose I am supposed to look past the fact that some person edited footage from television show popular in a time when white adults needed laws to tell them people of color were human, if born here – citizens, and therefore must be allowed to vote and go to the same schools and be treated equally, you know drinking from the same fountains, the same rights to access of public space, and all those socialist ideals. Joe Friday only existed in a fictionalized world.

Here is a real Hero, speaking real, and plain truth. Read this and witness simple delineation of evidence pointing to corruption of Adam Smith’s Ideal in favor of destruction for a twisted facsimile thereof, this same corruption -greedily evil-minded- exists to this day. I present you with The Late [Retired] USMC Major Gen. S. Darlington Butler’s clarion call to the civic minded U.S. Constitution loving citizen. Posted in it’s entirety: http://www.warisaracket.com

Sonny Wyatt, Dallas, TX   December 7th, 2009 - 9:56 pm

I should say it again, and dumb it down a bit. Joe Friday was talking about a reality that only exists on television.
