Anybody watch Glenn Beck's TV program today?

[Os Cangaceiros]

OMG, it was fantastic. He did an entire segment on the "black flag movement".

Fingers crossed that he'll mention Bakunin in the next episode!

[The Fighting_Crusnik]

When I was just a typical Libertarian who saw Capitalism as a necisary evil and Marxism as the big, scary boogie man that ate little kids, I still saw Glenn Beck as a fear mongerer in some respects. In truth, I am glad that there is someone on the other side who is willing to argue without the use of rhetoric and is willing to expose things that the media has hidden. However, is willingness, and the willingness of the right wing media to lump every little marxist ideology and action into one basket is a bit sickening. And ultimately, in some respects, I see Glenn Beck as the next McCarthy with the tea parties ultimately being the ones who may put into motion the 3rd Red Scare...

[Os Cangaceiros]

I think that he's a loon, but an entertaining loon. I don't really see him as a threat, at all.

I think it's funny that he's basically single-handedly responsible for making The Coming Insurrection a bestseller. You can tell if you go to the Amazon.com page that most of the reviewers read it because their "teacher" told them to. :lol:

Wasn't he crying about a Stalin statue being unveiled somewhere in America? http://mediamatters.org/mmtv/201006090010

Pretty awesome.

A bust of dictator Joseph Stalin has been placed at the National D-Day Memorial in Bedford despite public protest over its presence.

The sculpture was installed at the memorial Tuesday, said William McIntosh, president of the memorial foundation.

Richard Pumphrey, a Lynchburg College professor and artist, finished the piece last year. The bust of the reviled Soviet dictator is part of a series of Allied world leaders who united against Hitler’s Germany.

McIntosh has said the intent of installing the bust is not to honor Stalin as a hero but acknowledge his role in distracting German forces, which played a part in the timing and unfolding of D-Day.

“He’s a necessary addition,” McIntosh said in a 2009 interview. “He certainly was a fact of life and a major ally during the second World War … There’s nothing about the presentation that’s going to be flattering of Stalin.”

In an interview with The News & Advance last year, Pumphrey said leaving the dictator out of the lineup of Allied leaders was similar to leaving Judas Iscariot out of the famous Last Supper painting by Leonardo Da Vinci. Pumphrey said in the interview he viewed Stalin a “terrible person.”

Residents and leaders in Bedford have spoken out against installing the Stalin piece at the memorial.

Tbh, I don't find Stalin to be noteworthy... heck, didn't Lenin even fear him? Considering that Stalin was the Chuck Norris of Communism, he and the USSR did have some major problems... overall though, it's not surprising for Beck to whine about things like that. Seemingly, when it comes to the right, a lot of people claim you have rights and more specifically, the right to expression... yet when you use it to protest something that they support or are doing, they freak out... typical hypocrites... and the sad thing is, is that they are probably going to get power come November.

[Animal Farm Pig]

....the bust is not to honor Stalin as a hero but acknowledge his role in distracting German forces....

Sound about right-- distracting 80% of the German forces... :laugh:

[Invincible Summer]

Yeah seriously. "Distracting" is a bit of an understatement.

[Os Cangaceiros]

Stalin was the gnat in Hitler's ear as the valiant American GI Joes punched the Nazis to death.

Sorry if history hurts, guise.

[Mumbles]

Nah man, a gnat would be swatted at. I think a better metaphor would be a floating feather. It catches your eye, but you don't really do anything about it. Amirite?

"McIntosh has said the intent of installing the bust is not to honor Stalin as a hero but acknowledge his role in distracting German forces, which played a part in the timing and unfolding of D-Day."

Wait, wait..."distracting" German forces? Is that all the Soviets did?

Maybe I should get him to advertise my favorite books on the show too :lol:

Priceless. I am SO posting this to Revleft CCCP.

[The Fighting_Crusnik]

^lol!

Anyways, I'm watching the rerun of today's episode and it is making me want to laugh in some ways. Yeah, Obama is associated with a handful of nut-jobs, but the idea of Communism has never been truly put into motion. Yet, Beck is trying to suggest that it's Anarchists vs. Meta-Communists. It kinda makes me laugh because if he knew anything, he would know that anarchists and communists will work together for the simple fact that both can coexist quite easily... my fear is that with the crap that he spews, that people are going to get hurt at some point of time... only time will tell...

Yoooo-hooo, mister soldier man, I'm over heeeeereeee!

[Tablo]

Sorry if I might sound like one of the crazy Stalinists on this site, but the Soviets won the war and in the long run would have won without US involvement. This isn't based on some bias as I hate Soviets as well as my own American homeland. I only care about historical accuracy and I feel the American involvement in the European theater is over exaggerated. If we are talking about the Pacific theater then of course America dominated that.

Btw, I would watch his program simply for some insight into what type of shit the proto-fascists are putting out there, but I can't get through so much as five minutes without wanting to smash in my tv screen. Televisions are too fucking expensive to be wasted on shit shows like his.

It's not the Soviet soldiers, it's Stalin. That's probably an exaggeration rather than an understatement.

I wouldn't be surprised if they taught something like this in an American school.

Yeah I get what you mean.

[Raúl Duke]

and it is making me want to laugh in some ways. Yeah, Obama is associated with a handful of nut-jobs...etc

What's ridiculous is that he mentions, specifically in the radio show, that Obama is trying to "appeal" to the "black flag" types/movements...

If he really did his research like he said he did...he would know by know that those "types" are un-appeal-able for a politician due to that obviously anarchists are against all politicians/both parties.

The man lives in his own world, where there's a communist/anarchist conspiracy waiting to explode and before you know it America is One Big Gulag!!!

Fucking LOL :laugh:

I'm pretty sure no anarchists have EVER referred to themselves as "the Black Flag Movement" ... mainly because the phrase sounds so fucking stupid.
