If you're Republican and/or easily offended by parodies of Fox News show hosts, you might want to skip this video. Just a notice in advance, so you don't get angry and write a nasty comment.
Also, this is a parody. P-A-R-O-D-Y. A joke. I don't sincerely believe almost anything I say here, so please keep that in mind.

I made Ben Gleck this summer in order to provide people with a dosage of my political humor, but never got around to editing it for some reason until this morning. As a result some of this has to do with events that some people could have forgot, including Beck calling Obama a racist and his famous 'OLIGARHY' chalkboard conspiracy. (I did intentionally spell socialism wrong.)
This video contains:
lots of jokes
a chalkboard conspiracy theory
a conservative-themed song
and much, much more!
But yeah... tell me what you think! I think it's pretty good for one of my solo videos (certainly a step up from the Jim videos).

He's pretty good.

1. What a talented young man :)

He reminds me of my sons at that age :) He is very bright and I predict that the world will hear more from this young man.

2. With a little editing this should go viral!

Maybe cut into two clips?

16. I agree

I thought it was really good. I'd like to see the song cut out that was the best part. Really funny. I hope it does go viral.

11. Very clever. Plus talent. Advice: Take up a collection for the flip chart. :o) There was only

one thing wrong - I anticipated a little crying scene. Next time? Lots of talent. Lots of guts. And so well tuned in to the way Beck manipulates and twists which means you got the big picture and all the details. Congratulations and thanks!!!

13. I agree he's pretty damn good

If I had some suggestions for him, lighting, holding up the sign, speaking up a little more.

I wonder how much of the stuff he wrote given it's political and how much he got help with (at that age if he's following politics that well he's a genuis). Also wonder if he's playing the piano (it looks like he is, but it's hard to tell for sure).

He's young and has lots of time get more comfortable in front of the camera. Maybe in a year or two put him on a show.

20. Great Kid!

I love the mannered swaying around he's doing.

So nice to think that somebody of his age can see right through Beck's BS, when so many of his elders fall for it hook, line & sinker.

21. Lord have mercy and they thought drugs were bad for Kids. Kids just say NO to Glen Beck!

Glen Beck will warp your mind and rot your brains. Just look at the Republicans. They are hardcore Glen Beck junkies. You wouldn't want to grow up to be something like that would you?

22. wonderful :>

I wish I had liberal family members to share it with. I am so tempted to spam my father's racist, conservative friends with it just to annoy them as much as their emails my dad forwards to me annoy me. (Why don't I ever receive humorous LIBERAL emails?)

Great stuff. The song was the best.

23. Don't listen to them, Ethan; your video is ready to go viral now!

And I envy him: it took the last twenty-or-so of my forty-five years to become as clear-thinking and progressive as he is now; I hope he's thinking about running for office, or starting an advocacy group or NGO. :)

Classic.

I'm proud of this young man. I look forward to seeing him involved in politics (professionally or as a volunteer) in the future.

37. The misspelling of 'socialism' was intentional.

http://politicalhumor.about.com/b/2009/09/02/glenn-becks-oligarhy-spelling-misadventure.htm
Glenn Beck was trying to illustrate that with Obama in office, the country was becoming an oligarchy. However, he spelled it 'OLIGARHY' and missed the C. I was parodying that.
