Thank You, Glenn Beck, for Exposing Communism’s Evils
The tortures included laying a man naked on a freezing cement floor, forcing his legs apart, and then an interrogator stepping on his testicles, applying increasing pressure until the confession surfaced. Imagine the consequences of no surfacing confession. Indeed, many people refused to confess to a crime they did not commit.
Daughters and sons were raped in front of their fathers and mothers — for the sake of extracting “confessions.”
These are just some of the delicacies that the Stalinist machinery inflicted on its citizenry in the hope of bringing socialism into earthly incarnation. Alexander Solzhenitsyn has shared much of this horror with us in his Gulag Archipelago — a work, mystifyingly enough, that I had never heard mentioned, except with a few exceptions, by one professor in a lecture or seminar in my entire eleven years studying Cold War history in academia. It was a work that I never saw, again with a few exceptions, on any academic syllabus — and many of my courses concerned Soviet history and American foreign policy toward the Soviet Union.
Both of my grandfathers were exterminated by Stalinist terror. Both of my parents, Yuri and Marina Glazov, were dissidents in the former Soviet Union. They risked their lives for freedom; they stood up against Soviet totalitarianism. They barely escaped the gulag, a fortune many of our friends and relatives did not share. I come from a system where a myriad of the closest people to my family simply disappeared, where relatives and family friends died under interrogation and torture for their beliefs — or for simply nothing at all.
Now try to imagine me sitting in the company of left-wing “intellectuals” in the West who think they are oppressed. This is my lifelong experience. I remember one radical feminist, whom I sat next to in a graduate student lounge, lecturing me sternly about how women in the West are oppressed because they wear bikinis on beaches; with a reprimanding tone, she explained to me that this represented the way capitalism objectifies women, marginalizes them from spheres of power, and metaphorically decapitates them as human beings. I remember asking her what she thought of female genital mutilation and honor killings in the Muslim world. To this I received a stone-cold silence and a frightening hateful stare, a stare with which I have become accustomed: I would be confined to a gulag or a psychiatric hospital if this particular individual had the power to place me there. This would be done for the good of society of course. My question was heresy: she could not, naturally, admit that evil adversarial cultures and ideologies existed — under which women truly suffer real oppression — for if she did, then she would have to sacrifice her entire worldview and personal identity.
Another colleague of mine, with great moral indignation and personal angst, once complained to me about how we are being “attacked” by Pepsi commercials. “By trying to tell us that we are not cool if we don’t drink Pepsi,” he agonized, “the capitalist machinery practices the politics of exclusion. By trying to pretend it offers us choice, it actually negates choice.”
My mom’s father was executed by the Soviet secret police. He did not have the luxury of being oppressed by Pepsi commercials.
Beck also exposed the DIRECT nexus between the Iranian Hitler and the German Hitler.
While few are unaware of the deep collaboration between the Arabs and the Nazis during the war (hence they often use the Nazi salute, handed down from their mentor, Haj Al Husseini, a blood brother of Hitler, who by the way was Arafat’s mentor…)many were clueless of the Iranian nexus.No more.
Beck exposed via pictures and history the facts of the matter. Iran’s ambassador to Germany during the war was a dear friend of Hitler. Not only that, but they changed their country’s ! name from Persia to Iran for a particularly revealing reason. At the suggestion of the Hitler regime they became known as Iran. Iran in Farsi means Aryan.
Enough said….as the Iranian heirs to Hitler prepare for the Final Solution via their WMD program.
Case closed.
Sir; thank you for your deeply moving and personal account. These stories have to be told and I applaud your efforts to stand up to the “intellectuals” who would do the same here if they had the power. Oh wait, they do. You and Glenn Beck sound a warning about what could potentially come here, unless those warnings are heeded. Freedom and Liberty are at risk and people are rising up to defend them. We had grown complacent in our prosperity. That was then….Today, we are no longer complacent. Thank you for your story, it is invaluable in the defense of liberty. God bless you and thank you for coming to America.
The “Iran” = “Aryan” translation was quite a shocker, I must say.
Beck has done a great public service. Dr. Glazov, an eminent voice on the evils and ambitions of Islam, has done more than one. Aggregated with our knowledge of other unbounded States, these tales should give us to understand what’s being done to us today, in this country, at this very moment.
Too few people are aware of the staggering number of people who’ve been killed by governments. Even fewer people are aware that the Soviet Union, one of the bloodiest-handed governments in all of history, grew as monstrous as it did because Washington fed it. It should be a lesson to all of us that government is not an inherently benign force, Saint Paul’s notions notwithstanding.
We appear to have forgotten George Washington’s warning:
Mohandas K. Gandhi’s assessment is equally apt:
Supporters of Barack Hussein Obama’s soulless social-fascist regime might be advised to draw the moral.
I hope that Glenn’s efforts will encourage all American parents to start insisting that their children bw suitably educated in the realities of history.
MAy the leftist intellectuals who supported the ancient evil of communism and now give ideological help and support to the evil of islamism and terrorism suffer the tender mercies of their friends.
May those losers, mummy boys and girls, overgrown child who break their toys and pull the wings of flies face what the victims of Gulag and NKVD had to face.
May Vietnamese and Cambodians massacred in 1975 be avenged from the First World people (That is for you Jane Fonda and John Kerry) who made their murdering possible.
May all of them rot in hell.
Beck is just a man. He is an entertainer first and foremost.
But he is also seriously interested in showing the truth as he understands it.
What is painfully evident in those who criticize him is that they all, repeat all, fail to demonstrate where any of his evidence is faulty.
We are supposed to neglect what Cas Sunstein says, or Van Jones, or Andy Stern whey they tell us what they want to do. We are supposed to neglect it because Beck is “wild eyed”. He’s “tearful”.
But he only uses the actual words and deeds of the people he speaks of.
It was revealed, yet ignored, that every day for the past 17 years George Stephanopolous speaks with Rahm Immanuel, Obama’s Chief of Staff. Stephanopolous gets promoted from once a week to daily so he can continue to spread whatever the talking points he gets from his long time friend.
Yet that red phone sits quiet on Beck’s desk five days a week. Any fact that Beck gets wrong can be corrected in seconds, live.
It doesn’t ring. But Stephanopolous’ phone rings all the time.
It galls me that no one sees the obvious conflict of interest at ABC. It further galls me that not one of Beck’s critics can demonstrate where his facts are wrong.
Beck is just a man. But he’s a man telling the truth as he sees it and he lets you see how he got to his conclusions.
He’s not being told what to say by the administration.
BRAAAAAVO!You go to the nut of the matter.
Thank you and your parents for adding one 3/320,000,000th to the worth of my failed country. Please bring in 319,999,997 more of you before it dies completely — irretrievable failure being now inevitable.
Ayn Rand recounts how her sister, whom she rescued from St. Petersburg after not seeing her for several decades, decided to go home again where she didn’t have to choose between brands of toothpaste, where in fact she didn’t often get toothpaste. We are now in the third generation of teacher-indoctrinated sisters of Ayn Rand.
Thank you, again, and persist if only for your own sanity.
Mr. Glazov, I am among those brave Americans who resist the oppression of the advertising machine and fully the equivalent of those daring, heroic academics who from their classrooms speak out against the machine–I drink Coke, not Pepsi. And henceforth, every time I have a Coke I shall lift my glass or can and toast myself and my moral courage. Feel free to admire me.
By the way, I went to the beach a few times last summer. Michigan must be an anomoly, another resister against the oppression of women in American society. There were some dauntless women who did not wear bikinis (and some who did probably shouldn’t have). And the women who were actually seemed to be happy to be doing so; false consciousness, I’d guess.
I was never much of a leftist but the reason I am not one at all is that I came to understand that ideological leftist–I specifically include center-lliberalism in the American context–devolves into authoritarianism because it’s inherent in the ideology. It’s not anomaly; in modern terms it’s not a bug, it’s a feature.
Accompanying this is power worship; there’s a reason why leftist idolize Fidel Castro even though the revolution doesn’t bother with all that bourgeois claptrap like free elections, freedom of speech, an independent judiciary, and all that stuff. That’s why the American Library Association a year or two back refused to condemn the Cuban regime’s shutting down home libraries.
And yes, the student you talked to would have happily tossed you into the gulag if she could. Many years ago I heard the folksinger Ewan McCall–fine concert, by the way. At one point he sang a Pete Seeger song and mused, “Where would we be if we had more people like Mr. Peter Seeger.” Without stopping to think I muttered a little louder than I’d intended, “I’d be in a labor camp in Alaska.”
thank you for an excellent essay and for your support for Glenn Beck.
I agree with you that Beck is one of the few that has access to the public. And one of the few who isn’t pulling his punches. He isn’t straddling the fence like some of the other Fox (so-called) conservatives.
It is a fact that very few westerners know any true history of the communist world. The media and politicians and the education systems are filled with (if not down right communists) liberals/progressives/marxist people who try to discredit the truth and/or hide it. they have done a good job of it and that is one reason we are heading for that disaster again.
thank you Jamie and thank you Glenn.
Thank you for sharing your article with us.
We like Glen Beck. I don’t care if he was having sex with king kong. He gives us history, backs it up with facts that we can check. He gives us a view into our present debacle in Washington and what Obama is bringing our nation to, and backs it with facts.
,
Those that do not like Beck for his program should ask themselves why..why ..can they not face what is going on in America? or..is it that they condone the march to socialism and can’t wait to get into their jackboots and live on rations?
I could not associate Iran with Aryan, then I looked up the actual meaning. Interesting.
Again, thank you for sharing your article.
Important experiences like yours should not be lost. They should be compiled and saved; as a defense against the current insanity or a memorial if we go over the cliff and achieve an American workers paradise. Thank you for writing this.
Also, Beck is the #2 best liked personality next to Oprah!
(i don’t watch her show anymore due to differences in personality, she’s a racists and I’m not)
Goes to show more people like Beck and his insites into history, it’s bearing on today’s world and present day America than anyone else.
My nephew graduated for Ohio University with the opinion that Communism isn’t a bad system, it just had bad leaders! My retort, a good system doesn’t allow ‘bad’ leader in control.
Glenn Beck is another harsh reminder that our credentialed experts rarely are in the forefront of saving western Civilization. I am not even sure if he finished college. Beck candidly admits that he is not a great historian or political philosopher. By all rights, his recent documentary should have been considered boring and repetitious. The typical American should already be well versed regarding the horrors of Communism. Sadly, this is not the case.
Beck thankfully is also continuing to educate Americans about the American Progressives of the early twentieth century. John Dewey, Richard Ely, Stuart Chase, and countless others caused enormous damage. One cannot even begin to clearly comprehend the current Obama phenomenon unless they study that period of history. How many people know, for instance, that John Dewey chose the term progressive to replace socialism? He realized that Americans had to be conned into embracing policies and ideas that they initially found repugnant.
The monstrous evils of the twentieth century have shown us that the greediest money grubbers are gentle doves compared with money-hating wolves like Lenin, Stalin, and Hitler, who in less than three decades killed or maimed nearly a hundred million men, women, and children and brought untold suffering to a large portion of mankind. Eric Hoffer
In a single sentence this week, Glenn Beck noted that the current crowd in DC does not want to “power share” with the American people.
Striking in its simplicity and directness, this is absolutely correct.
Closely allied to totalitarianism, Beck has been elucidating the history of “progressivism” in the United States. Progressives co-opted and eventually trashed the term “liberalism”; their currently evolving deceptive self-description is “populism”.
That the Left postures as though it is on the side of social justice, but it is on the side of the greatest and most pernicious violators of social justice. And its hands are drenched in human blood in terms of the mass murdering ideologies and regimes it has supported and aided and abetted.
~Jamie Glazov, United in Hate: The Left’s Romance with Tyranny and Terror
I don’t want to go off-topic but.. it’s about time to start counting the victims of the environmentalism. Yes, how many died after DDT was demonized? How many ones condemned to be poor after “sustainable” views being implemented poor, underdeveloped countries? Let’s do the count.
If not for the internet the whole Planet would be clueless. One can’t depend on the MSM to report news as… if the news doesn’t shine Obama’s shoes its not fit to report. Half of Hollywood elites worship “Che,Castro and Mao”. . There are suicide bombings taking place on a daily basis now. No one puts two and two together and comes up with four anymore. We are building foot baths in colleges and making “Merry Christmas and In God We Trust” a crime. Political Correctness is the chic of the day.Don’t offend anyone yet is is okay to offend America. The strangest part of this “Insanity Revolution” is the was no “Kool ADE”.

For many years I worked in Latin America and saw first hand the evil with Soviet funds pushed into the region by the Cubans.
Academia has NO interest in discussing the root cause behind Latin American instability between 1950 and the late 1980′s.
The evil that has been done in the name of the socialist/marxist death cult staggers the mind when you see it up close.
Do you really want to finally understand politics, history, and everthing you have witnessed in your lifetime? For those brave enough, Liberal Fascism, by Jonah Goldberg..but be forewarned…this book may change your life and make it very unsettled.
Glenn Beck is another harsh reminder that our credentialed experts rarely are in the forefront of saving western Civilization.
Many credentialed ex-spurts are currently leading the charge to our decline, pounding the ideological mindset into the captive audiences as we speak.
Thomas Sowell’s observations on public intellectuals, part 5 of 5
I actually had a college course on Solzhenitsyn. I signed up for it simply because I liked history and liked to read. It opened my eyes to the monsterous evil of Communism and made my choice to join the military at the height of the Cold War far easier.
Adina Kutnicki:
The ties between European facsists and the Baathists (Arab Socialist Ba’ath Party) were also strong.
In Kuwait in 1991 my Marine unit had some captured Special Republican Guard officers handed over to us. We were shocked – they looked like tanned Nazi’s out of a badly cast movie. Spiffy, pressed out Gestapo style uniforms in the middle of a desert battlefield was too wierd. They were also much larger and better fed than the average Iraqi peasant soldiers we were rounding up.
We were pleased when Kuwaiti investigators took them away to be properly tried and hanged.
Thank you for your article.
And thank you to Glenn Beck.
Godspeed America !
Godspeed Freedom !
So to summarize: “Things aren’t really bad here at all, and everybody who has a problem with capitalism should shut up because the Soviet Union was really, really bad.” I quite like capitalism but the author does a piss poor job of defending it.
I pray that Glenn Beck does an expose on the reason for our collective ignorance – the creeping takeover of the American education system by unions and ‘progressives’.
Example, progressive education ‘reformer’ and six-time U.S. Presidential candidate for the Socialist Party of America, Norman Mattoon Thomas who clairvoyantly predicted in 1948:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened.”

(1) Communism was founded by Vladimir Lenin. It was to be the Permanent Reign of Terror, in the tradition of Maximillian Robespierre, who founded terrorism, See Robespierre’s speech of February 1794 defending the use of terror in order to establish Virtue. See Richard Pipes’ The Unknown Lenin.
The “left” (the term coming from the semi-circular seating arrangement during the French Revolution of the National Assembly, where Robespierre and the Jacobins sat on the far Left. (The “Right” were the monarchists and clericals.)
(2) The self-righteousness of the self-designated “left” is part of the heritage of Robespierre. Their greatest love is for tyrannical power.
Kudos to Jamie Glazov, Glenn Beck, Humberto Fontova, and the many other brave souls who risk retribution from vindictive leftist cowards, in order to expose the inconvenient truth about that most efficient ‘cold killing machine’ 9to use gutless-murderer, che’ guevara’s phrase) ever devised – communism.
The so-called ‘intellectuals’ who hole up in quackademia and preach marx’s vomitose lies to their innocent charges could not for one second endure the death-dealing heap of human atrocities which they lovingly call ‘social justice’, ‘socialism’, and ‘progressiveism’.
Communism’s gangster-kommissars would likely, as do they always to all of their cheerleaders, dispatch them for betraying their young students and leading them to slaughter.
Isn’t the fake, phony moralistic ‘selective outrage’ of the sham state religion known as communism a wonder to behold?
The marxstream media which has for decades rooty-toot-tooted its paper and tele-kazoos for sorosian gun-grabs, abortions uber alles, and other leftist sacraments would likely be the next to be liquidated by the ‘evil nutcase’ red tyrants for whom they so giddily cheer, on rationale that a media which betrays its citizens can never be trusted.
For once, the commies are right. It can’t. Ever.
Unfortunately, the events of the past year or so have proven that man learns nothing from history, and many hold the impression that a gang of sullen giddy winners which has never in its life lost a farthing will arrange matters to avoid the autumnal consequences of their behavior.
The good news? Our Creator who has foretold the conclusion from the beginning, will crush and put an end to every kingdom by which man dominates his fellow man to his injury, to the eternal delight of all who love liberty and goodness, and who hate lies and cruelty.

Excuse the cliche, Mr. Glazov, but thanks for sharing your personal experience in this essay. I earned a doctorate later in life, long after the universities had been occupied by America’s Socialists, and was astonished at the behavior and opinions of faculty and my younger colleagues. They were the kind of America-hating leftist you describe above. Only one person among my faculty was an ardent free-market genuine American conservative.
I am with you 100 percent, Jamie. Thank god for articles like this. When I hear conservatives blasting America and knocking say, the Post Office my blood just boils. Yet as if their response to 9/11 wasn’t enough. The lack or liberal empathy for humanity is heart wrenching.
I remember once trying to convey my feeling about one of our soldiers in Arabia having to walk with her eyes down. As I was talking to a Liberal Woman, I expected some form of agreement.
All I got was a “I am only for peace, nothing else matters” type of reply.
Just as a reminder, some of the things you describe constitute real torture.
In another foul Orwellian tactic, the left has succeeded in turning vigorous interrogation into torture.
Your column, “Bravo”
I used to think it was folly to home school your children until I had my eyes opened by the likes of people like Glenn Beck. He hits home with his ideas so often that it makes me agitated and angry to watch his show more than about twice per week. Our children are being dumbed down and indoctrinated by the public school system. People like Bill Ayers are in charge of educating our children. Good enough reason to educate them at home. Glenn Beck is masterful and certainly well hated by the left. That in itself should make any American interested in what he has to say. I only hope and pray that he does not find himself floating in the Potomac!
Thank you for your article. I look forward to reading your book.
I to think Glenn Beck is keeping the Torch of freedom from an oppressive government lit. Our leaders of the American Reveloution would be very proud. We must never forget our beginnings. This Obama administration must be stopped!
Good comments all. I never understood why commies like Pol Pot, Mao and Stalin seem to get a pass, even though they’ve killed more people than the Nazis. I still see people wearing Che T-shirts.
I find it interesting that our resident trolls have gone silent in this thread. I guess it’s true, you can’t argue with facts and history. Distortion is a whole other story.
I tape Beck’s show daily and play it back when my 3 teenagers are in earshot. i’m grateful for his show.
Thank you, Mr.Glazov, for your thought provoking piece.
Thank you, Jamie, for this article. As a refugee from a sinister dictatorship, I’ve tried to do my small part here, at PJM, in exposing the evils of commnism. Personal testimonies like yours are invaluable. Too many Americans don’t know the truth. They’ve been lied to or kept in ignorance by the leftist intelligentsia and media since the sixties. Now, with Obama and his elitist friends on a clear course to destroy our great society, truth can’t be kept under a lid anylonger.
Thanks, also, for your superb work at FrontPage.
I ♥ Glenn Beck. Even his over-the-top stuff feels sincere to me. I’m glad he’s reaching so many people with the truth. Sometimes you need a little theatrics and drama to capture people’s attention. He’s definitely opened my eyes up to a lot and I consider myself fairly ‘informed’.
27.. Thomas:
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened.” too true folks….
God help America, God save America.
Obama is merely the puppet of the “system” to turn America into a socialist country. This didn’t just start…even Bush 1 was talking of New World Order…when I first started paying attention to politics in general..
I would encourage parents to watch your children’s schools, their teachers, what are they reading? What are they learning? Check out the people your kids hang with!!
Check out the people you vote for. Don’t just vote Dem / Repub because that’s what your church says, or your mom, or you have always voted a straight ticket.
When you close that voting booth, be sure you know who you are voting for, and vote for who you choose, no one else knows…
The left has every reason to hate Beck. He is a truthteller.
Also, #7..true!!
“The Gallup Poll reports that a majority of Democrats, 53%, have a “positive” image of socialism…”
Isn’t it interesting that truth and fact are always the “enemies” of the left? Interesting as well that they will do and say anything to diminish and or destroy both the information and the messengers? How is it that just one thread of honest fact is so dangerous to them that this is how they always react?
Why should it be that there is only one messenger reporting these facts on TV, there are many on radio, Marc levin comes to mind immediately, another target of these would be monsters. How is it possible that only the messages of the left, the decisions of the left are heard by the public at large? In the news? In entertainment? At school? In the courts? Are they attempting to seize power through deceit, extortion, subornation and subterfuge…. ? Yes, And violence too as needed. They do not change because they need not do so to win. They’ve done this before.
41. Mr. Forward,
That poll is depressing but not impossible to change. America really has some serious de-programming to do but the eyes-wide-open crew can do it.
Thank you to all my supporters and readers in this thread. I am very grateful for all your kind comments. The fight is on.

“I am not even sure if he finished college”
The quote above is important to me in that the most valuable information I have attained from people has been from those with no college degree. A college degree from a US university today includes a box that surrounds the brain of the recipient.
Thank you for the article Jamie Glazov.
I witnessed communism at work in Cambodia forty years ago. I now wish American liberals could have experienced what I did. HORRID.
“Thank You, Glenn Beck, for Exposing Communism’s Evils”
What – Communism’s evils!?!? Front page news! Thank heavens Beck is on the job!
His next scoop: The evils of Naziism!
46. Joseph,
The problem is, ‘Communism and Socialism (Pinko, Red’s baby sister) is EVIL’ and should be on the front page news because the G.L.I.E.S (Government Leftist Indoctrination Education System aka Gov. Lies) is corrupt by power absolutely.
We have learned by history itself that the truth of Communism/Socialism imploding within itself and EPIC FAILING every time in all its glorious OBVIOUSNESS… escapes even the most scholarly of educated LEFTIST idiots.
When history starts repeating itself in a negative way you don’t repeat history.
Nothing dampers the spirit more than

“-Nothing dampers the spirit more than realizing you’re neep deck in a rut and a tidal wave is headed your way.”
Amen!!
While Limbaugh was instrumental in the conservatives’ ’93/’94 return to power, I think Beck is the one having the greatest impact this time around.
He’s the only one challenging people to educate themselves and each other. Limbaugh, Hannity, O’Reilly all play an important part, along with journalists/bloggers like Breitbart, but Beck knows that the vital key to preserving our Republic is education.
He’s the only one challenging people to be people of honor and integrity. He knows, as the founders did, that liberty cannot exist in a climate of moral degradation.
God Bless him.
I taught Solzhenitsyn’s “A Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovitch” back in the day. Of course Solzhenitsyn was somewhat disgruntled by the materialism and a number of other things in American culture, once he actually came to live here in Cavendish, Vt.
Yes, the tyranny of Communism should be taught, but so should the tyranny of the Robber Barons and the rise of unions. Because one can show that Progressives had their “evil” side and often were fellow-travelers with communists is only a piece of the story. History is complicated, but Beck tends to simplify it for his simple audience. The real study of history shows conflicting forces and values throughout our history, but many people whether the dour feminist mentioned in the article or Beck believers prefer some black and white morality tale, where we identify a certain group of bad guys and define ourselves by the people we are against.
Yes, contemporary education is also to blame because of its tendency to eschew complexity and go with the Progressive half of the historical narrative.
I know that it is a real strain on the brain, but let’s get the whole story, or at least acknowledge the countervailing values on the other side, not just the ‘evil,” even if to some degree the way we think here, ever since the Jefferson-Adams political campaigns against each other; the either/or narratives.
Both GWB and Obama are well within the American political and cultural tradition(s) but it is the task of the noise machines and true believers on the other side to paint them as near monsters who are destroying the Republic. Carry on.
Thomas,
that quote smelled bogus to me. It sounds like someting a moustache twirling villian would say in a bad novel,
“The American people will never knowingly adopt Socialism. But under
the name of ‘liberalism’ they will adopt every fragment of the Socialist
program, until one day America will be a Socialist nation, without
knowing how it happened”,
“and the next day…….THE WORLD!”
Sure enough the trail goes cold once it is traced back as far as Ronald Reagan. It was something that he attributed to Norman Mattoon Thomas, but noone knows whete he got it from.
I don’t care if Beck finished college. We have a lotlotlot of people in governement that did..and they have made a mess of America.
I think we should ban college for people in government.
It is obviously evil. They seem to be taught socialism is just a wonderful sharing way of life. puke.
Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly, what Fox didn’t want you to see . . . what are they afraid of?
http://crooksandliars.com/
Glenn Beck is a college dropout ex alcoholic who wears “magical Mormon underpants” and believes Jesus will return to Missouri. His insanity stems from his Mommy drowning herself just to get away from him.
His IQ barely breaches 50 and he most likely suffers from paranoid delusions.
Redneck teabaggers – This is not someone to take your history from. You are already dumb enough to begin with.
54. ObamaGirlz:
Now that you’ve gotten that out of your system, try attacking the message.
The Jon Stewart O’Reilly clip is pretty good; it is worth checking out. Here is a small slice of dialogue (another part on Fox and Friends is a scream, but you will have to watch it to hear it.:
————–Commentary from website begins:
Fox actually put the entire, unedited version of the interview up on its site, and the difference is jaw-dropping.
John Cook at Gawker (with the help of a couple of interns) got ahold of the full interview first, and provides a nice dissection that you should read (and watch) in full.
We’ve clipped some of the highlights for our own video, above.
If nothing else, the unedited video will be long remembered for the following quip:
I know what this is. I come from Jersey—it’s the same thing: “I’m not saying your mother’s a whore. I’m just saying she has sex for money. With people.” [F]ox News used to be all about, you don’t criticize a president during wartime. It’s unacceptable, it’s treasonous, it gives aid and comfort to the enemy. All of a sudden, for some reason you can run out there and say, “Barack Obama is destroying the fabric of this country.”
Though I also thought this exchange was perhaps the most telling:
Stewart: But let’s go into this. Because all I hear on your network is, this guy is — it’s tyranny, and socialism.
O’Reilly: That’s what he believes.
Stewart: So, how is Barack Obama a socialist? As far as I can see, the majority of the billions of dollars he’s given, he’s given to banks. So if he is a socialist, he’s dyslexic! Because when you redistribute the wealth, it’s supposed to be going to –
O’Reilly: But he does believe in redistribution of income.
Stewart: Well, he’s redistributed it to the banks.
O’Reilly: And that is a socialist tenet — no, he’s redistributing it –
Stewart: He’s going up. He’s dyslexic! It’s supposed to be coming down!
O’Reilly: He — Look. If you don’t know that the Obama administration is redistributing income, then I’m gonna have to haul your program away from you. Get you off the air.
Stewart: Let me ask you: What is different about his redistribution of income and all other presidents — he wants to raise the marginal tax rate back to where it was during the Clinton era. Was Clinton a socialist?
O’Reilly: He has promoted a variety of programs, OK, that –
Stewart: We already have Medicare, right? We have Medicaid. We have Social Security. Are we a socialist country? Do you want to get rid of those three?
O’Reilly: No.
Stewart: So are we a socialist country?
O’Reilly: But I want to moderate them so we don’t go bankrupt.
Stewart: OK, but that’s different. Now you’re talking about fiscal responsibility.
O’Reilly: In a socialist country, the government pays for all of these entitlements — the Obama administration is down that path.
Stewart: Who pays for Medicare? Who pays for Medicaid?
O’Reilly: The government pays for it.
Stewart: So now we’re socialist.
O’Reilly: But now we’re on Medicaid and Medicare with steroids, with the new health care bill. That’s steroids!
Stewart: Once again, this is like the old joke. “Would you sleep with me for ten dollars?” “No.” “Would you sleep with me for a million?” “OK.” So now we know what you are, you’re just negotiating price. For you guys to stand up –
O’Reilly: Of course, that’s the degree of anybody when you describe socialism. There are little socialistic programs and giant socialist programs. OK? And some people believe that Obama is on the huge government creation — the government dominance. And you yourself said it! You yourself said it! He wants more regulation, he wants to create things,

“Jon Stewart and Bill O’Reilly, what Fox didn’t want you to see . . . what are they afraid of?”
Then why did the Big Fascists allow this out? Why? Why? Doesn’t Fox News just hypnotize people with intelligent pretty ladies so that a sex numbed mind is willingly opened to the various machinations of the Fox News Grand Conspiracy to Conquer the Planet? How could such a monolithic all-powerful universe controlling entity make a… mistake?
Kyber sleazits, is Jon Stewart part of it too? When is he moving to Fox?
And this whining cry for freedom.

This is a Modern Liberal begging Kyber with wrong names exercising rights that would warrant a dive into a wood chipper in a Modern Liberal paradise like the Late Great Commie Cesspool was (is). Maybe a trip to North Korea can be arranged. You can talk all you want there! Maybe you could even eat a dead cellmate before they come and remove him! Mmm, mmm, mmm.
Moho.

The Modern Liberal Pee Wee – Kyber – moho – kochevnik – Shawn Ondeen – Blovis – American Muslim – Alice Nolin – Alice Wigglebotton – Whatever Twilight Zone Dummy goes Mr. President, and uses Fox News to display its well known airtight sense of personal responsibility and “Courage and Intelligence” about the state of the non-cesspool world. One wonders how inhaling methane as a way of life can further the Wannabe Jihadist lifestyle. But then, taking a big hit and then holding one’s breath until boarding an airliner with matches may be a path to the 72.
“You don’t know what Kyber likes, only Kyber does.”
How’s that ex-commie in principle Van Jones doing? The muggers, are they still in your dreams? Has Kyber taught you any manners yet? Bark the Internationale now. Whatever.
54…your problem is resenting the factual messages and need someone to attack, if you have even listened to Beck’s program…actually listened, not just read some liberal blog. I think you are jealous of the magic pants.
You are weeweed up with no where to go.
Now the trolls are out. Not disputing the facts – just attacking the messenger.
All you over-educated libs do realize you were the first to die when Lenin, Mao, Pot, and Ho Che Min took over, don’t you? Once an useful idiot outlives his usefulness, no reason to keep him around. Some might wise up and cause trouble.
Glenn Beck. “Speaking truth to power” as regressives love to say. This scares the hell out of them and that is why they think it is clever commentary to level at their opponents, those who are such as:
“Redneck teabaggers – This is not someone to take your history from. You are already dumb enough to begin with.”
Grow up #54
Jim Baker said:
Grow up #54
That is an impossibility for a lib.
#54 sounds like a lib teenager that has not watched Beck’s show, lived in the work a day world, had to offer up defencse of their opinion.
they just throw words out on a post and never get questionaed to where they have to answer in person..stupidity.. They are the people who want to dismiss your argument because you misspelled a word.
“Back in Russia, dissident intellectuals risked their lives when they pronounced one word of truth about the horrible history (and reality) of their country under communist rule. In America, most of the intellectuals who surrounded us scoffed at the importance of real intellectual freedom and dismissed my parents’ experience; they demonized their own society, wished for its defeat, and supported the communist enemy that muzzled free speech and tortured millions of human beings.”
Thank you Jamie, for this blog site, and this article. It seems the best Americans are those who’ve experienced the horrors of living in a non-free world. Where will all those brave refugees have to go once the Communist/Fascist elite have brought down the only place they looked to for salvation? I hope to see big things in the future from Marco Rubio because he too speaks the truth from a place few modern American “moral equivalence” spouting pols can understand. Reading tons of Russian history years ago and studying Ayn Rand (on my own, by the way) prepared me to be horrified by what I am seeing now. I never heard any of that in college. You are absolutely right, this must me stopped. Thank you again for being a brave voice in the wilderness, and thanks to Glenn as well. May your words somehow break through!
My grandparents immigrated from the Ukraine as kids. The thing that sticks the most in my mind is that they always whispered when speaking to each other in their own home. They did this until the day they died. They never could overcome the fear that the government was listening and watching everything you did. They traveled the world in their old age and visited every continent in the world. They never went back to their home country and I asked them why. My grandfather said he was afraid that if they went they would never be allowed to leave and absolutely serious.
I have known about the horrors of Communism and Fascism for at least 70 years, but Glen Beck is the first person who has ever been able to make these atrocities known to millions of people today. The reasons he can do this so openly are twofold. First we have a President who grew up in an environment of Socialism, Marxism and Progressivism with results that have stunned a large part of the population, and secondly he has surrounded himself with people in the White House whose Communist sympathies have been documented on videotape, tapes now used by Glen Beck on his show. The truth is on the tapes and impossible to deny.
In the fall of 1982, I was commander of the US Army Houston North Recruiting Area. The Army offered speakers to give presentations to high school assemblies. I was privileged to spend two days traveling the back roads of Southeast Texas with Col. Leland Holland, the senior ranking military official among the 52 American Hostages captured by the Iranian mob in 1979. During our conversations and during the student assemblies he made a point to praise the “Gulag Archipelago” as a master work on how oppressive regimes operated and as a primer on how people caught up in hostage situations should respond. I am sure the leftists professors did not cite this great book because it pulled the mask off of all their socialist day-dreams.
Col. Holland also talked about why the Iranians hated President Carter. The short answer was that they disrespect weakness and viewed Carter’s touchy-feely, liberal butt-kissing as the ultimate show of weakness. This cast any Iranian looking to appease Carter in the light of looking even weaker. This prevented any efforts toward negotiating with Carter and doomed any chance of his success. The hostages remained until Reagan came along and both scared the Iranians and gave them cover for dealing with superior strength.
I learned many other things from this short experience with a great man who had lived through a trial by fire but it would take too long to cover here.
On the failures of capitalism… it is true there have been failures in that system & those failures have done us harm. Now, to be really fair here, one must look very deeply at a number of the causes of those failures. Greed is one that really provokes most of us because we try to live by truth & honesty.
But, government regulations, designed, even written, by leftists & imposed on the capitalist system, contributed significantly to the failures we have endured.
Many say the Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) was not the cause of this. They say it played an unimportant role. That is patently false. The CRA led to the credit derivatives, the toxic assets, the bad loans, the bad trading instruments that grew out of proportion & whose foundation was a mere quicksand of bad loans.
W/o the CRA, many if not most of the bad loans that grew & grew & grew, would never have happened. The logic was one that used heartstrings to pull at us. Lets get as many people as possible into a home, especially the poor. Yet when one looks at the loans banks were ‘forced’ to make, one realizes many of the borrowers could never pay the loans back if there was any increase in rates.
Bank lending officers faced performance review retribution if they did not make enough loans, & loans to people whose financial situation was tentative at best. I saw the guidelines & many loan officers were afraid to make the loans. They lost that fear once they knew their bank could sell those loans in packages to Fannie & Freddie & other entities who had government backing. The key was government backing. Even then, those pushing those loans knew if there was a financial crisis of any proportion, the government would be stuck making the loans good. That means, taxpayers would pay. Barney Frank made this statement numerous times. And he did his level best, along w/ other progressives & RINO’s to make sure regulations to control those bad loans never were implemented.
Even George Bush tried over a six year period, a number of times, to have regulations imposed that would have limited & controlled those loans.
Our problem wasn’t lack of regulations…. it was the numerous BAD regulations written to satisfy suspiciously influential special interest groups. Fannie & Freddie employees wrote any number of regulations, or were seriously involved in the writing. They knew what they were writing. They pushed the leftist thing that all should have a home, while ignoring the very real fact that if one is irresponsible & cannot or does not repay the loan, it will default & taxpayers will be stuck with the bill. Frank knew it way back, & he knows it now. Even now many of the regulations stand. Even now as we face financial disaster due to this boondoggle.
Bush spent far too much. The Democrats in Congress helped him along & as a ‘compassionate conservative” (which means he was a RINO), he signed what they sent to him in order to be cooperative.
Beck is doing America a great service in identifying the obscene antics of the progressive movement. Bless him for that. He is a bit of a nut. But then, so too are many of our elected leaders. I cannot count myself out of that equation either.
So Glenn, keep it up. You are finally teaching our kids that our Constitution is the only thing that keeps us all free & that has allowed us to push for those freedoms be extended to all Americans, not just a select group as kids have been told.
I watched that Glen Beck documentary.Very revealing.
Back in days of the cold war,a friend of mine was in university,and an apologist for the Communist system.He was against capital punishment,but only in the West.His reasoning was that it was their system.I would then counter that by saying that
maybe apartheid was ok in South Africa because it was their system.
At least we in the West had a choice of Pepsi and hundreds of other soft drinks.
For more understanding of Communism, I recommend reading books by Dr. Fred Schwarz, an Australian who came to the US in the ’50′s and started “The Christian Anti-Communism Crusade”. He had city-wide crusades where he exposed the evils of communism. He regarded himself as a pathologist studying a disease. After the election of JFK, he came under criticism greatly because his teachings made Democrats “look bad.” But he prevailed and had a great influence on many people, including our late president, Ronald Reagan. I try to keep my heart looking to God and His Word with prayer for our great nation; that is the source of hope.
The next President needs to award Beck the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
Beck is a recovering alcoholic, and a college drop-out, and a Mormon, and a paranoid nutjob… but, somehow his paranoid rantings prove prescient in the end. This “loser” keeps being proven right.
And his show’s ratings are being the heck out of “that damned sponge” SpongeBob.
He also dwarfed the ratings of CNN, MSNBC, et al combined… by the end of his first year on FOX! Truly, he is a smash hit for FOX. Murdoch may be Left-leaning himself, but he is making Large Coin with FoxNews. Seriously Large Coin!
Oh, and Beck made something like $28,000,000 last year. Yeah, don’t listen to him.
Suzanne says “….I recommend reading books by Fred Schwarz….. I wholeheartedly agree!
At the beginning of the Obama presidency I dug out two books, now out of print, to reeducate myself. One was
“You Can Trust the Communists (to be Communists)”, by Fred Schwarz, and the other was “None Dare Call It
Treason”, by John Stormer. Both were written in the 1960′s and both almost seem as if they were penned today.
My heart was torn and eyes filled with tears as I read Jamie Glazov’s article. Likewise, I thank God for Glenn Beck’s
fearlessness when it comes to telling the TRUTH. We are all so soft, passive, and lethargic here in America and
need to hear and hear again what the end result of so-called Progressivism is. No matter in what glowing terms
it is presented or how lofty its ideals, the end is dictatorship, plain and simple, and in many, many cases – DEATH.
This is a battle for the minds of men – right here and right now. Like Suzanne, I, too, am looking to Almighty
God for His divine help. There is a Bible verse which struck me last year, “When the enemy comes in like a flood,
the spirit of the Lord will raise up a standard against him.” We are in those days.
How beautiful freedom is!
Absolute power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely. Eternal vigilance is the price of freedom.
Thank you to Jamie Glazov, Geert Wilders, Glenn Beck, and all who fight against tyranny. Who fight for our freedom! It is a battle: Light against terrible darkness. Good against great evil. It is a battle fought against cruel, power hungry, supremacist elites who seek our physical enslavement, but even worse, who seek to destroy our souls.
Two points: Back in 1988 I had the pleasure of working with a Russian gentleman who was only immigrated to the U.S. for tweleve years at the time. He was a chemical engineer we hired to help with techical translations for a project that was destined to Russia. Over the course of that activity we became good friends and had many interesting conversations. I remember him telling me one day, “Everything you’ve ever heard about the Soviet Union, believe it!”. The funny thing about truth is that it is easily recognized when you confront it or it confronts you. My friend was telling me the truth, and I knew it. My second point: Several months back I was in an antique store that also had a nice selection of old books. I stumbled upon first editions of Gulag Archipelago in excellent condition and at a give away price. I snatched them up and have been reading them ever since. These books speak the truth. From what I’ve read thus far, I see parallels in this country today that frighten me. Our freedom is precious and fragile. So, do we roll over and play dead only to have it taken away like a thief in the night? Or, do we rise up and stand firm against those forces that would destroy all that we are? We seem to worry so much about our grandchildren, but tomorrow never comes. What we need to worry about is due vigilance for today. Evil has many tools, and a lie is the handle that fits them all!
Thank you Jamie!!! My family came here from Czech and Germany right as the 1940′s started. They got out because they could see the tyranny upon them. They came here and enlisted in the military, as every male in my family has since. When they got home they became cops. Our family paid the dues in blood and time. I believe, that now my Grandfather and his Father are rolling in their graves. At 30, I am a product of such an upbringing. Ex military and now working law enforcement. I feel disgusted at what we have let ourselves become. Like a crackhoe, we just ask for more and tune out.This is our country. This is our DUTY, I REPEAT DUTY to hold the fire to the feet of buttfaces like Barney Frank. And to those who would call me racist or red neck tea bagger, eat this!: I hate ALL the politicians of current, I have seen friends get killed in action by following orders from politicians dem and repub alike. I am a patriot. I am an Independent. I am an Oath Keeper. I took an oath, like many others, which I took VERY seriously. America, PLZ WAKE THE HELL UP. Join me, defend what our fathers and grandfathers gave lives and pieces of soul to protect. Obliterate the progressives, dem or repub, and only support candidates who are willing to make a stand. Hang for treason, Hang for bribery, Hang for selling out your own people. Old Ideas that still mean something to me.
Nary a word about the American people being sold out to the People’s Republic of China.
Go figure. I guess commies that you make money from – commies that you can use to hurt labor in America, as the American people are known to the right – is okie-dokie.
