EarÂliÂer this month, Jonathan McInÂtosh released a parÂoÂdy carÂtoon called “DonÂald Duck Meets Glenn Beck in Right Wing Radio Duck,” which artÂfulÂly remixed 50 clasÂsic DisÂney carÂtoons from the 1930s to 1960s. And now comes the inevitable remixed response: “MickÂey Mouse DisÂcovÂers the GovÂernÂment CarÂtoon ConÂspirÂaÂcy Against Glenn Beck.” The video ups the ante in a quick 1:26.
Wait–how is this intelÂliÂgent? I don’t see the eduÂcaÂtionÂal valÂue in this othÂer than to insult a perÂsonÂ’s views who don’t match yours. I don’t like Glen Beck at all, but I am not going to insult someÂone because they don’t agree with me. That seems so…base…so eleÂmenÂtary school. Do you even know what he stands for? Because postÂing garbage like this seems too much like a blind, arroÂgant, libÂerÂal attack. PeriÂod.
This is why I don’t get into polÂiÂtics. Both sides are ignoÂrant and this kind of stuÂpidÂiÂty proves it.
I expect this kind of thing on super-libÂerÂal CNN, or conÂserÂvÂaÂtive bashÂing webÂsites, but not HERE! I had so much respect for this site and all that it had to offer. It makes me sick to my stomÂach to see this :(
SpeakÂing of being ignoÂrant of the source mateÂrÂiÂal, have you seen the origÂiÂnal video involvÂing DonÂald Duck? Maybe you should, as that one is more seriÂous in tone. This is a lightÂheartÂed joke after Beck implied that the forÂmer video was fedÂerÂalÂly fundÂed- a ridicuÂlous, paraÂnoid deluÂsion, like much of what he preachÂes on nationÂal teleÂviÂsion. But I digress.
Would you mind explainÂing why he and his colÂleagues over at Fox are free to insult and slam anyÂone remoteÂly left of cenÂter as un-AmerÂiÂcan socialÂists out to ruin the counÂtry, but detracÂtors are not allowed to make a satirÂiÂcal video in oppoÂsiÂtion to him and post it on the interÂnet?
Free speech goes both ways. And if you’re so terÂriÂfied of encounÂterÂing anyÂthing that might be… *gasp*… LIBERAL… well, maybe just lisÂten only to Fox and Fox-approved propa… sorÂry, I mean proÂgramÂming. Then, you’ll nevÂer have to be exposed to any of those scary ideas again!
