EMBED

Breitbart's BigGovernment.com touted a video of Becks comments, which occurred while Beck was introducing a segment featuring BigGovernment.com editor-in-chief Mike Flynn.

Previously:

Beck continues long history of invoking Nazis by comparing Fox to the Jews during the Holocaust

Conservative media ignore their own long history of invoking Nazis to smear progressives

Beck compared Gore's global warming "lie[s]" to "Goebbels or Hitler"

Following coverage by Beck, media conservatives baselessly claim NEA broke laws

      "Advocating through art is known as 'propaganda.'"

      Hey, Beck, nice "Refounding America" graphics at the beginning of your segment, you ol' propagandist you. Please give my best to your wife, Magda, but don't let her near the kids.

      Godwinning the Obama administration has jumped the shark, or, well, it jumped the shark a long time ago.

      Let's just make a general rule. From now on, whenever a conservative comments on the Obama administration, we'll just agree that they're going to tie them to Nazis somehow, and someway.

        It would make a good drinking game, but then again, that's the only way to get through the Glenn Beck Show.

      That's pretty rich . . . a guy who has utilized Goebbel's "big lie" technique repeatedly is comparing Obama to Goebbels????

      You simply cannot make this crap up. Well, Beck does, but . . . well, you know.

      That is disgusting. Absolutely disgusting.

      How dare that scum refer to people he doesn't agree with as nazi murderers.

      Shame on him. This is unequivocally despicable behavior.

      Beck is following Goebbels propaganda rule #10:

      10. Material from enemy propaganda may be utilized in operations when it helps diminish that enemy's prestige or lends support to the propagandist's own objective.

      From: http://www.psywarrior.com/Goebbels.html

      And the WH addressed this issue to make sure it does not happen again. Move on Becky. Find another "hot button" issue.

      Propaganda is only wrong when it sends a message we don't like. Advertising is propaganda. We send out propaganda all the time in foreign countries, trying to get the locals to see things our way. I don't see the problem with asking a group that is already getting government money to sell the government's point of view. Heck, we do that with Park Service stuff all the time. And let's not forget good, old Smokey the Bear or McGruff the Crime Dog! They are propaganda tools, too. It seems to me the network doing the most with propaganda and indoctrination is Fox who is desparate to convince its audience that theirs is the correct view and anything different is a lie.

      Wonder why the part of the video clip that talked about the legality of what was being talked about wasn't included?

      Now call me a cynic, could it be it was just a figment of old Glennie's little mind?

      I know, I know, Glennie didn't have time on the show to play it because he had to cut away to one of his many advertisers.
