Liberal logic.... I see.

I remember this I don't think I could find it on youtube when I tried. He found a wall statue of a shirtless man with a hammer and equated it with communist architecture and dubbed it a communist building.

Then he took the statue behind the UN that was made as a gift from the USSR and equated them all to communists as well. Like a bipolar world with the congress of nations located in one of the polarizing countries shouldn't have a peace icon from the other in it. The guy is not mad, he has an agenda and he's particularly good at taking for americans on a ride with their own conspiracy theories.

And the whole 'civilian' army thing seems to be taken out of context, glenn is confuddled and not quite clear on what it means himself but then he has some strange way of collecting some common unfounded american fears and attaching them to the comment and claiming that obama is the source of everything anathema to their freedom and is everything that they have always feared.

Seems like a good episode of the daily show btw.

On Youtube, "GlennBeckDailyClips" has every show of his over the last several months.

The show you are referring to, again has nothing in it that is false or misleading. He simply points out how socialist/communist art and design has been in America a long time, and shows examples of it from some of the buildings in New York.

Again, if you find something factually incorrect, please point it out.

Sir Loin

You could take it a step further and detail how Beck's own building and taste lean in that same direction. A point he never quibbled over.

Grim17

The segment was about propaganda, and how it was hidden in plain sight.

He pointed out the communist art in Rockefeller Center along with art from other buildings in New York. Here are the segments and if you would, please point out any inaccuracies or factual errors in what he presented.

and btw, Fox does not operate out of Rockefeller Center... Not that it would have made any difference.

private army? Now you like glenn beck is stretching the truth. He had stated he wanted more people to volunteer and give their time to charity. Where in obamas speeches did he say we were training these volunteers on military bases where did he say we were arming them then shipping them around to be his own private army.

Glenn also did multiple shows on fema concentration camps that he claimed obama was setting up. And then he quietly swept it under the rug when he decided to look into it and realized even he himself was full of ****

Yes he is a nut job. Communist art, gezz give me a freaking break. So you and he are saying that because there is a picture of a man holding a hammer and another man holding a sickle then it automatically means that Rockefeller was a communist?

So that must mean that because Bush's grandfather helped the Nazi's then Bush must be a Nazi? Or how about Beck's name.. Its origins is from northern Europe and Northern France.. so either he is part French or part German, or if he is lucky his ancestors raped half of Europe .. aka the Vikings. That must mean he is either French, a Nazi (since all Germans are nazi's right?) or comes a long line of mass rapists and murders. You can make conspiracy crap up about anything if you try hard enough.

And frankly so freaking what!? The building is 80 years old for peak sake, built in another time.

More worryingly is what does his rantings actually mean? That he wants to rid the US of "communist art", like the Taliban did of non Islamic things?

Rockefeller fired and removed Diego Rivera's mural because there was an image of Lenin in it. Rockefeller was hardly a Communist.

theres a thing in journalism called full disclosure. If theres a conflict of interest in your reporting that personally affects you the onus is on you to tell your viewers. Fox headquarters is located in the group of buildings we call the rockefeller center. There was no communist art its art deco that was popular before the ideas of communism got us in a tizzy. Besides mi6 had their us offices in there during ww2 as well as the former offices of the cia who as we all know were rabid anticommunists surely they would have objected. This once again is beck looking at seemingly innocuous clouds in the sky and seeing monsters eating babies
