Someday I might actually make my avatar... well, Avatar. I love that old wizard! :)
However, Frank Frazetta has just passed away today.
I would'nt mind seeing the irreverent style of humor that gave us Fritz the Cat, Heavy Traffic, and Wizards. He's never really been quite the same since he did American Pop. That's why I use the term "was."
There's an interesting book about him, UNFILTERED: THE ART OF RALPH BAKSHI, that you should check out.
Oopsy, Beck, you've been working with SATANISTS!!!!! Worshippers of LUCIFER!
BTW, Beck, Lucifer, even though that name is ascribed to Satan by some folks, meant "The Morning Star." The name "Lucifer" refers to the King of Babylon, not Satan.
I might add, if the tea partiers are USING Alinsky's methods, then that's pretty much an endorsement of his writings.
Endorsement of method, fine, I'll take that. If you can call mass peaceful protesting as something out of Rules for Radicals, the closest those people ever got was during the "town halls" as I heard Morning Edition on NPR point out last summer.
And since when did it become a crime to become self-educated? You know, reading primary source materials? And Con-man, what? Do you have any evidence to back that up with?
Her point, of course, is that the radical right is both using Alinsky to demonize the left, while simultaneously employing his methods. It demonstrates an absolutely bewildering, head-scratching level of hypocrisy on their part. The right is denouncing the Alinsky's work even as they are embracing it. I can't help but note that the neocons have done the same thing with V.I. Lenin.
So, make up your freakin' minds. Which is it? Is Alinsky a danderous and evil radical, or is he the guy that has written YOUR TEAM'S PLAYBOOK?
Beck, on his program a month or so compared himself to Harold Hill from The Music Man. He even had a film clip of of The Music Man with Robert Preston as Harold Hill singing, "Trouble." Harold Hill is the lovable CON MAN who was trying to sell the people of River City musical instruments which did not exist. He used FEAR to do so. I would doubt that most of Beck's ardent and really uninformed viewers even caught that. Apparently, you didn't. I'm guessing that you are one of the folks that Beck calls "idiots" who take his word as gospel. Why do you watch someone who has such disdain for you?
I never said it was a "crime" to be self-educated, I said Beck was uneducated . . . he is. He does NOT read primary sources, he reads BS written by Cleon Skousen and David Barton, both of whom were/are frauds. I doubt he reads anything except the financial reports he's getting from his accountants which show how much money he's making off of poor, dumb suckers like you who BELIEVE his crap.
Would you say as much to Beck? Seems his rant here is in direct contradiction of what you're saying.
BTW, did you notice diamonds use of one of the goofiest wingnut strawmen, putting words in quotes that nobody else wrote ?
They just get cuter all the time.
But, I don't see where Beck gets off with his "likes a lot" statement for some who have read or learned from Alinsky, while understanding that others could simply read a source without forming some personal bond..
Another thing that didn't quite wash was Beck's "clarification". I suspect that someone from the legal department popped in and made him cover his butt. The rest of it was no more than the usual smear-from-the-hip balderdash we have come to expect.
Sotomayor doesn't seem nearly as radical, at least not on the bench (ignoring other controversial remarks).
So, the one time she agrees with Mao is the one time that Mao agrees with that heartless guttersnipe Mother Theresa. Still want to play this game? Because with facts on my side, the only place I won't win is in the mind of someone blinded by partisan ideology.
I doubt there's as much blood on their hands.
Actually, not much weirder than traditional Christian views.
ha ha, get it, beck is the devil. That's for you teabaggers so you'll know I was being sarcastic
Here is an interesting version of the myth I heard from Joseph Campbell:
Or that this country was the fruit of a REBELLION?
WHAT A MARROON!!
Buckley referred to him as 'an organizational genius' I believe, while Beck feels no need to reference his remark about Obama 'liking him a lot'.
On the other hand knowing Beck, that entire rant could have had no more direct purpose than planting the silly, meaningless, notion that Obama 'liked' Alinski in the sheep minds of his viewer/followers while at the same time, leaving an impression of what a terrible thing that is.
Furthermore I'd wager that it worked on half or more!
I have no idea where Beck is getting the idea that Obama led some rebels and overthrew the Federal Government. He was ELECTED! Nor do I understand Beck's point in the Saul Alinsky/Lucifer quote (and Beck, we don't need the devil horns to know who Lucifer is).
I think Beck should just stick with the Hitler and Mussolini references. They are still asinine and don't hold up to comparison against Obama, but at least his false equivilencies appear to make sense.
