Couch Gag: The family bakes in a giant microwave Synopsis Homer and Marge take the kids to get their shots. Just before Dr. Hibbert is about to inject Bart, he escapes. After a chase through town, Hibbert finally outsmarts Bart and injects him. The shot, however, causes Bart to become temporarily deaf. While at the Springfield Elementary School "donkey-basketball game", Bart taunts a donkey with a carrot. The donkey bites and eats Bart's shorts (just like his famous line "Eat my shorts"). A photo is taken and the crowd assumes that Bart is mooning the US flag. Shortly afterwards, the Springfield Shopper takes the story and completely turns it around, making it seem Bart deliberately mooned the flag. The Simpson family soon is hated by all of Springfield. The Simpsons are later asked to appear on a talk show and tell their side of the story. However, the host turns Marge's words into saying, "I do hate Americans". The US turns their back on Springfield. Mayor Quimby decides to change the name of Springfield to "Liberty-Ville". Everything in town is patriotized; the traffic light colors are changed to red, white, and blue and everything costs $17.76. While at church, Lisa speaks her opinion about the patriotism and the Simpsons are immediately arrested, in violation of the "Government Knows Best act". The Simpsons are taken to a "re-education center", which houses Michael Moore, the Dixie Chicks, Elmo, and Bill Clinton. All the prisoners there are held because they allegedly "hate freedom". With some help from the last-registered democrat, the Simpsons escape the prison, but realize that the re-education center is actually Alcatraz Prison. They set to swim to land. Fortunately, they are picked up by a French freighter and are brought to France. They are well adjusted, but still miss America. They then move back to the US as immigrants without IDs. Quotes - Elmo: Elmo go to wrong fundraiser.
- Hate spam: Refinance your house, YOU COMMIE PIG!
- French salior: Hey! We hate America too. Come to France and we shall mock the country that save us twice from the Germans.
- Homer: Bill Clinton? What are you doing here?
Clinton: I called the Republican tax cuts unwise. And I stand by that; they're unwise! - Editor: Which one of you writers can take a story and blow it waaaay out of proportion?
Writer: I'm your man, boss.
Editor: I want you to overhype this story so much, it makes the New York Post look like the New York Times. (reconsidering) Or the New York Times look like the New York Post? I forget which one the good one is. - Homer: Yello? Appear on your TV show? Tell our side of the story? You'll see us there?! Goodbye!?! Dial-tone!??!!!
