First, watch Glenn Beck, above, “deconstruct” some of the historic art in New York City, detailing for his viewers all the hidden socialist and communist symbols. Seriously, watch it — it’ll make you crazy. Watch while he connects it to the progressive causes of today. Read the L.A. Times’ blog post about it.
Sadly, this is not the new Dan Brown novel.
At least there’s some funny: Check out the logo for the Tea Partiers’ latest propaganda stunt: a “9/12″ march on Washington:
Nope, no communist or socialist imagery there!
Actually, as Rolling Stone is now reporting, they’re deliberately trying to co-opt that symbolism. The general gist of their argument is that they are part of a revolution against the “statist” Obama administration.
I don’t think they really grasp that the communist revolutions eventually became much more authoritarian than the regimes they replaced. How appropriate.
