      Must be THIS Weather Undergound. Guess Beck got a little confused. One is a weather information site and the other is a long defunct, insignificant group of nutso college kids from the 60s.

            Seriously, I've wondered at that veryquestion myself. It would certainly explain the weirdness that frequently occurs here, and the right wing is certainly not above doing such things to opposing viewpoints...

              It is odd. I sometimes bounce around among Liberal websites, and this is the only one that behaves that way. Could be a server problem, I guess, or a glitch in the programming.

              Then again, it could be Troglodyte gremlins.

              Seems to be working fine now, but will it last?

        Wouldbe domestic terrorist who listened to Glenda, on the way to Tides Foundation to carry out his "Plan". Glenda dodges a bullet - so far - because the nut was caught. You would think that he would learn SOMETHING from this but what is he doing? He is continuing to attack Tides Foundation.

        What's that matter Glenn, are you upset that your "plan" failed?

        Where is the FBI and why aren't they knock knock knocking on Glenda's door?

      Beck keeps referring to people from the sixties and their radical beliefs then. Even if some of those people are still around why does Beck assume those people have the exact same beliefs, values and goals they had then? Is Beck the same person he was as a young man? He keeps telling us "no"...but why are we to believe these sixties "radicals' are actually radicals instead of grandparents with liberal beliefs?

        I think Beck probably is the same person he was when he was young: dumb and wasted most of the time.

      This has to be the most ridiculously STUPID conspiracy theory EVER. I have a lot of school teacher friends and I don't know a single one who has shown this video and I doubt most of them have ever heard of it.

      I agree with the point of the film, though, . . . has nothing to do with capitalistic greed, it has to do with just plain old consumerism. If you were actually a conservative, Beck, you'd see the point of the film. We shouldn't be wasting money on "stuff." A conservative is very careful with his/her money and is usually not really big on consumerism.

          But that's the point . . . they aren't conservatives. Neo-conservatism has virtually nothing to do with conservatism.

            Glenn, you ask people to "remember this was written in the 1960's".

            Maybe you should follow your own admonition.

            This is stupid beyond words, this crapola that's coming over the airwaves today.

              Very good point. Talk of "revolution" and standing up to "the man" was chic back then. They wore weird clothes and carried Chairman Mao books. Most of the people who repeated that stuff would be embarrassed by it now.

              Think about it. This girl is somebody's grandma now...

              Jerry Rubin became a yuppie. That pretty much summarizes what relevance the sixties have today. Although it's interesting that what Beck took away from the sixties was "live your life in terror of political activists" rather than "don't get involved in unwinnable wars with no clear purpose or objective, against an enemy that uses guerilla tactics and has a far better understanding of the country than we ever will".

          black Vette with license plates that read "NEOCON".


          Just last week, saw a big shiny Hummer in a shopping mall parking lot, with a big " How's that Hopey Changey thing working out for you?" sticker on the rear window. They really take pride in their ignorance.

          Surprisingly, I was there when the driver came out, and it wasn't some macho military type guy. Just another super-sized, angry looking suburban mom burning 100 gallons of gas a day to run errands.

        Actually, I do show it in a high school honors class. The point, I think, is both: consumerism AND the fact that corporations will do what's best for them in the short term, even if that means raping the land and the people (hello sweatshops in the Marianas Islands and Tom DeLay). And you are right, bintx, you'd think conservatives wouldn't buy all the crap they sell at Wal-Mart. (And along the same lines, check out JibJab's "Big Box Mart" video. It's along the same lines.) But I guess if they buy the crap they sell on FOX, they'll buy anything.

      After watching the video he cherrypicks from, I'd say it's a questionably ideological, but ultimately responsible thing for a teacher to show children, even though I would think that it's poorly tailored for anyone under the age of 13. I would hope that some of Beck's viewers watch it and, since it's generally devoid of Beck's buzzwords, learn thing or two.
