Media Matters Is Vewy, Vewy Angwy About Beck Documentary
NewsReal ^ | Matthew Vadum

Posted on 01/27/2010 6:35:50 AM PST by Michael van der Galien

It’s apparent the George Soros steno pool known as Media Matters for America really didn’t like Glenn Beck’s TV documentary, “The Revolutionary Holocaust.” (full documentary video, transcript)

Simon Maloy, who wrote the Media Matters rebuttal to the film, said it’s “insidious in its nature and vile in its character.” He continued

The purpose of Beck’s documentary was to link modern progressivism to the abhorrent violence the world saw under communism in the 20th century. Beck’s intention is to undercut the current administration and very idea of progressivism — or at least what he claims is progressivism — by associating them with the strong emotional rejection people have to the Holocaust and Soviet pogroms, making them radioactive, something to be feared and abhorred.

Maloy is correct that Beck seeks to link modern progressivism with communist atrocities.

But what Maloy doesn’t accept is that Beck is right to do so. This doesn’t mean that modern progressives necessarily want to slaughter their opposition; however, they are in the same ideological camp as their more bloodthirsty communist (and fascist) cousins.

As I’ve written, in the documentary Beck sought to show his audience that too many Americans admire leftist totalitarian mass murderers and too many Americans don’t know about the horrors these merciless killers have inflicted on humanity.

This tolerance of brutal leftist monsters allows today’s progressives, whose ideas have the same intellectual pedigree as communism and fascism, to get away with murder, so to speak. In other words, this permissive environment allows left-wingers to openly flaunt their admiration of brutal mass murderers such as Che Guevara and Mao Zedong without getting called on it. People wear Che and Mao tee shirts and no one cares. (See related Nick Gillespie blog entry at Reason)

Seems that Glenn need to be sent to Obama Re-programming facility for a mind overhaul or just be given a cocktail of the Obamacare end of life Kool Aid.

That's correct. They'll only try to kill us if they can't enslave us.

Beck is just doing the job of the education system in this country. I hope home school teachers/parents will dvr these programs so we have half a chance in the future.

Interesting how che and mao achieved hip status, but stalin never has. I have not seen one stalin cap, or shirt, or tatoo. I guess he was too white to be hip. So unfair ain’t it Joe, after all you killed 40 million people, that ought to count for something./s

F#@! Media Matters. At least when Don Rumsfeld shook hands with Hussein, he was actually helping us. These leftist turds cuddle up to the filthiest, steamingest piles of dictator scum like Chavez and Ahmedinajad.

This is why Alwaleed bin Talal made a big investment in News Corp. Glen Beck is but one tool on the work bench that is strengthening America

OK, so where is Beck wrong? BO appointed some of the most radical elements as czars, including a self proclaimed communist.

Talking of which: the mindset behind the water fiasco in California is unsettlingly similar to Stalin’s democide of the Kulaks.

Removing people’s wealth by government fiat is what Stalin did, over and over again, as a means of control. His present-day followers are trying to do the same thing to us.

I’ve always believed and have said that if the left had complete dictatorial control of America, they would send us all off to re-education camps... know-whad-ah-mean?

And that is because Beck is right and hit the bullseye. He scored. He did damage. He teabagged 'em. ;0)

Copies of that documentary need to be copied and distributed far and wide. If Beck sells them maybe he'll compete with The Passion Of The Christ for total sales.

That would be a very good thing.

Where they are wrong is that Beck hasn’t even scratched the surface of linking Progressives to the Fascists, Nazis, and Communists!

Wait until he gets into the relationship of the early Progressives to Hitler, Goebbels, Mussolini and their admiration for Progressive icons like Margaret Sanger.

If you haven’t already done so, read Jonah Goldberg’s book, “Liberal Fascism.” Goldberg lays out these connections clearly and methodically for all but the blind to see.

Neither Media Matters or the State Run Media will admit that muSLIMES are the primary sponsor of terror either. They are taking instructions from zer0 and will never tell the truth. They are - - - holes to the largest degree.
