Omg, this is so funny: Look Who's On Glenn Beck's Blackboard
Edited on Wed Mar-10-10 07:29 PM by Emit
You must log onto Facebook to watch this, but it is well worth it. Try it and tell me what you think!

Dear Friends, Colleagues and Supporters,

NO, I am not really on Glenn Beck's blackboard. We are actually working with our friends at SEIU and MoveOn on this video. We wanted to use satire to make the point about how his crying on cue, his barking into the camera, and his scribbling conspiracy theories onto a chalkboard are not examples of true patriotism.

There is real pain and grief in the country right now, people are hurting, and Glenn Beck is playing on this hurt. Real hurt.

In an effort to expose him we created a cutting-edge video to show how ludicrous Glenn Beck really is. Satire has a long and important tradition and we found it appropriate as a tool to fight back against Glenn Beck's attacks and smears. Use it to spread the word.

http://action2.bravenewfilms.org/salsa/track.jsp?v=2&c=IW3cYPR94CLXR9EOhv4xAoaj01uDqcQo">Check it out here and watch closely, because you won't believe who is in it!

Via Facebook: Robert Greenwald on Glenn Beck’s show? Only in satirical joke videos. You too can “guest star” & show how ludicrous yet dangerous this sobbing, chalkboard-scribbling buffoon is to America. Every progressive who wants to fight back against right-wing extremists this year should watch this video…then make one starring yo...u in it & share with friends! http://bit.ly/9pH80D

Yours,
Robert Greenwald
and the Brave New Films team


ON EDIT: Okay, from the mouths of babes and all that... my kids were looking over my shoulder when I played this and they were visibly frightened and shaken up by this. I had to assure them everything was okay ~ that it was just a joke and that this Beck guy isn't really after me ... well, he is, but, well, you know...

19. I don't think my Beck loving dad thought so
Haven't heard back from him yet, so, I don't think he thought it was too funny, lol. Boy did I probably open up a huge can of worms!

18. I passed it along as well
even to my dad, who is a huge Beck fan, lol. I will suffer the consequences, for sure, but hopefully, it will open a discussion that was lacking before.
