The Mancow comparison is spot on, but most other morning DJs I’ve heard, when they talk about politics, mainly just poke fun at certain politicians’ foibles or gripe about whatever antics Congress may be up to at the moment. Broad assertions, to be sure, but not mean-spirited and not really pushing forth an ideology. Your typical morning drive time host will make jokes about Obama, but they’re probably not going to call him a racist and/or commie.
So you’re saying the Gambler is a Commie?
He’s in the painting, is he not? I’m just asking, kinda like Beck, except without the arbitrary hand waving and junkie eye-rolling. And fewer tears.
He slipped in two Bohemians smoking reefer, right behind the women playing bridge.
That’s gotta be Darwin! There’s a monkey helping a baby up in the corner just in front of him.
And a…dog. Kinda licking the baby’s head. Which startles the fanged sheep.
This has got to be some discarded lyrics from an old Pink Floyd song, no?
The hand in the middle is holding something that looks exactly like my electric meter!! Prescient, eh?
I know, I know…
I watched 3:45 of Beck before I ran screaming for the brain bleach. But I suspect it still caused me more permanent damage than I got from all those yellow acid tabs…
How would we possibly be able to tell?
Through that sick, shameful feeling in the gut you get when you realise that the boy on the bus you just thought looked retarded actually is developmentally disabled.
The tranquilizer darts Fox Security will have to plug him with will have prescription sedatives instead of just wine and Ibuprofen like he gets now. It’s a small change, but not a subtle one.
Anybody notice in that video when he addresses his audience he says, “You, or your wife,”?
I can’t decide if that’s chauvinist, sexist, or if he just knows his audience that well.
He expects to stir up outrage over Let Us Beat Swords Into Ploughshares in the U.N. collection?
I thought that his audience was all about public monuments that reference scripture. How strange.
Yes, but if COMMUNISTS quote scripture, or make art based on it, there must be something wrong with it. Don’t look at it! You might become a communist!
He’ll start undressing like the lawyer in “Michael Clayton,” you’ll see Fox security rush out and they’ll fade to black.
Beck IS the guy who said in the mists of time that homosexuality was a communist plot.
It all becomes very clear.
Note that he rails against the swords/ploughshares statue being at the UN but has no problem with it being on his desk.
The whole thing is about forging peace out of war. World peace. End of war. What terribly communist sentiments.
Well, you know the good ol’ red-blooded 'Merican interpretation of it; Project Plowshare involved nuclear weapons :D.
Yeah, that’s quite the mental image - a naked Glenn Beck slumped over a pompadoured Tom Hanks.
Your professor was incorrect. That figure is definitely Darwin–compare it to this photo: File:Charles Darwin 01.jpg - Wikipedia
I always love the claims that the world’s biggest Capitalists, the ones with the most to lose under Communism, are secretly Communists, seeking to force it upon the rest of us.
Which I imagine is why they’re so intent on benefitting the proletariat at their own expense.
