        Not only a Nazi, a Nazi that was apparently giving propaganda suggestions 50+ years ago.

      I assume what Glenn Beck is referring to is the marketing effort to sell involvement in World War I to the American people. But such marketing efforts were learned from U.S. business. So using Beck's line of reasoning, the Nazis got their propaganda techniques from American corporations.

        As discussed in Greg Grandin's book Fordlandia, Hitler was an admirer of Henry Ford and his methods.

        Opponents of evolution (Coulter et al.) screechingly attack Darwin because the Nazis used his theories to justify some of their actions. But I am willing to bet that neither Beck nor Coulter rides a horse to work.

      Thank God for Preparation H

      Glenn, FYI: the NAZI party got the facts they used in their propaganda from the same orifice you use for the facts in your propaganda.

      I bet those anal paper cuts really smart.

      So, in Glenda's reality, who is allowed to teach our kids? Public schools are out cause Rush says they're crap and kids learn more not going to them.

      That's right, Glenda will tell all of our kids that they have to attend his re-education camps to learn the evils of progressives and his version of history.

      With gold prices plunging all over the world you can expect Beck to compensate his advertisers by turning up his fear and paranoia peddling equals higher ratings logic to new levels of insanity.

      Glenn, Propaganda has been around far longer than the progressive movement in America has been around. You love to try to link progressives and liberals with socialism and Nazism, but here is a quote from Goebells said when he heard Hitler repudiated socialism and blamed Jews for crating socialism wing of the party at the Bamberg Conference, he wrote: "I feel devastated," he wrote. "What sort of Hitler? A reactionary?" and "I no longer fully believe in Hitler. That’s the terrible thing: my inner support has been taken away." So to say progressives are like the NAZI party of Hitler is false. Here is what Goebells said about propaganda "It is not propaganda’s task to be intelligent, its task is to lead to success." Kind of sounds like FOX News to me.

      Also I am sure you have heard of the Big Lie technique to propaganda. Hitler wrote about it in Mein Kampf about how the average person would feel about the big lieit goes something like this:
      "It would never come into their heads to fabricate colossal untruths, and they would not believe that others could have the impudence to distort the truth so infamously. Even though the facts which prove this to be so may be brought clearly to their minds, they will still doubt and waver and will continue to think that there may be some other explanation. For the grossly impudent lie always leaves traces behind it, even after it has been nailed down, a fact which is known to all expert liars in this world and to all who conspire together in the art of lying."

      Now that sounds just like you Glenn Beck, propaganda minister for FOX NEWS.

      So this means that Teddy Roosevelt helped the Nazis learn the propaganda techniques used by Hitler against the Jews and "dissidents" in Germany during WWII. I hope Beckie Boy knows that T. Roosevelt was a republican.
