For reminder, he&#8217;s showing carvings on the Rockefeller Center from which he concludes that Rockefeller was a communist and\/or a fascist, and that since NBC is in that building, they are too, as are modern Progressives. Oh yeah, Rockefeller donated the land for the UN building which has a Russian Statue of a man turning a sword into a plow &#8211; ergo, the UN is communist? I had no idea that Beck was that crazy. It prompted me to find the original red-baiter, Eugene McCarthy, and look at the video of his finale with Joseph Welch. I knew Ann Coulter was a neo-McCarthyite, but I didn&#8217;t realize that Beck was too.<\/p>\n<div align=\"justify\">Who watches such things? Who believes such things? Does Beck really think he can revive the red-baiting from the last century and parlay it into some kind of new Republican Meme? It&#8217;s laughable on the one hand, and horrifying on the other. I wonder where they found Glen Beck. He&#8217;s more like a character from an old movie than someone to take seriously&#8230;<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I found the Glen Beck video in the last post unimaginable.
