The song "Born in the USA" is an American Progressive song? DUH! Since when was Rock & Roll considered "Conservative?" Its always been about rebellion and saying FUCK YOU to the establishment.
If Beck was around during the 1950s as a commentator, he'd be saying Evil Presley was a minion of Satan.
The version of Revolution on the White Album add's the word "in" after the line "well you can count me out ",because John Lennon was questioning how far he was willing to go in the cause of an ultimately better,more peaceful future.Furthermore Imagine was a criticism of materialism and organised religion..everything Beck stand's for...while "Working Class Hero" was a very radical critique of class control and it's victims.Beck ,please do your research ,your analysis and conclusions are very poor
Woody Guthrie, one of the greatest American folk song writers was a communist? Glen Beck is a communist this guys comments are irresponsible and just idiotic.
Yikes! The natives are restless we have to do something to subdue these ruffians! How about starting another civil war? Evolution is a word Beck is not so familiar with. Your supposed to improve yourself, not become a caveman with a club in your hand.And he should stop talking about the Beatles and any other band he knows I'll send Cannibal Corpse after his ass to teach him a lesson!
Wow, I didn't realize how unstable he was until I saw this. They're just songs man, stop reading so much into them. I doubt listening to a song is going to change anyone's opinion.
The song he's talking about by the Beatles talks poorly of Mao. The quote "You can count me out," is preceded by a line on revolution as in against revolution.
Fuck you Glenn Beck. Never, EVER use the Beatles as a device to promote your hate, bigotry, and arrogant insanity. McCartney would've punched you in the fucking face because Lennon would've been on the floor laughing hysterically at you you double chin piece of human garbage.
Fair and Blanced my ass.... Foul and Biast. The ideals This Land is what this nation pretty much was founded on. But... as un-American as Mr. Beck would most likely call me for saying this.. This Land belongs to the Natives that the good people of Europe murdered or enslaved. So all of you Fox News Jerkoffs can suck on that.
How the hell does someone this stupid get on TV and be able to give his opinion and have listeners? These REPUBLICANS are hopelessly brain washed. There is no hope if this passes for common sense.
@suther07 He's Not Stupid...the folks who listen (as in believe) his spiel are stupid...he's just in it for the money like 90% of the Faux Gnus fun nuts.
uh oh im watching glenn beck and agreeing with him uh oh hes using his freedom of speech UH OH!!!!!! if hes so wrong why is he such a big problem and why are you smearing him if hes so wrong????.......unless.........hes right and you just want to keep him from getting the truth out ??????? try to debunk him just try oh that's right YOU CANT all he uses is past happenings and the peoples OWN WORDS so stop with the bs bye bye : )
Or it could be that we're fed up of watching him poison the conversation with hyperbole, misinformation, demonstrably incorrect statements, duplicity, hatemongering and misquotation.

Most people thought it was a patriotic song about American pride, when it actually cast a shameful eye on how America treated its Vietnam veterans. Springsteen considers it one of his best songs, but it bothers him that it is so widely misinterpreted. With the rollicking rhythm, enthusiastic chorus, and patriotic album cover, it is easy to think this has more to do with American pride than Vietnam shame. HE IS NOT ANTI AMERICAN. Pull your head out of your ass those that think that. BRUUUUUUCE!
Again. Complete bullshit and deliberate misinterpretation. "Revolution" isn't specifically talking about progressives but of radical anti-war protestors in the 60's who became so radical they spread hate instead of love. Also progressivism started as a grass-root movement to fight big business which consisted of mostly poor and middle class Americans, just like the tea party movement. You think Glenn and progressives would make natural allies since they hate big business.
The quote in the bible is a quote USED by the Socialist party. Which just goes to show the ignorance of Americans. SOCIALISM does NOT mean government hand-outs for not doing ANYTHING!
When will fellow Americans learn... (Stop calling people names when you don't KNOW the definition of those names!!!!)
"...not a single rogue (including those who shirk their work) to be allowed to be at liberty, but kept in prison, or serve his sentence of compulsory labour of the hardest kind; not a single rich man who violates the laws and regulations of socialism to be allowed to escape the fate of the rogue, which should, in justice, be the fate of the rich man. 'He who does not work, neither shall he eat'—this is the practical commandment of socialism"

And who was the first person to see the crisis in Greece coming...oh yeah...it was that crazy Glenn Beck. Thanks Glenn...keep those facts coming!
God damn, Beck is an idiot. Born in the USA isn't anti-American, it's a lament about how poorly Vietnam War veterans were treated when they got back from the war.
hey beck/ did you know that if you drop the g from glenn and place the e from beck in to lenn like this you get lenen. which when you say it in a certain way it sounds like lenin? by your very own rules you are a comunist and a lenin supporter. i can hear you say "but thats ridiculus" and to that i say of course it is, manipulating words to describe other ideas is a tennet of 1984, where word has contradictory meanings. orwell is rolling in his educated grave

Glen Beck is far more coherent than this hack job of editing shows .. you can make anyone look bad that way .. So .. this is basically propaganda from another liberal loser who does not have the courage nor integrity to show the full commentary in context... Sad really ...
@orion90ryan maybe you should learn to spell his last name correctly jack ass and there is something else i wanted to say to you what was it again.... or right go fuck yourself
this guy is an idiot,Beck is anti american his belief in the mormon religion is anti american,believeing native americans come from jew's is anit american,compareing our president to hitler is anti american,this guy is a joke,news anchor no comic yes,the guy is a freakin joke
It's hilarious how Beck deconstructs the sacred liberal iconography. It must really get to them, huh? I bet their heads would explode if he went after Robert Allen Zimmerman(aka Bob Dylan). LOL!
A highschool dropout proud about his lack of education being capable of intelligently 'deconstructing' anything is laughable. 'Flail about uselessly making snap judgements on shit he doesn't understand' would be a more accurate statement.
He only 'gets' to anyone in that reasonable people are bothered by bigoted ignoramuses like Beck who use the media to spread their ignorance, and get other people to think as stupidly as they do. A lot morons think the nazis were left wing thanks to him.
Basically here you have a guy who would flunk out of any highschool level social studies or american history classroom pretending to be an expert on both subjects. Him wanting people to think of him as a modern Thomas Paine is laughable, because Paine is practically his political opposite on every issue he pushes.
Does Beck really think that railing on musicians will make him any more credible? This is insanity...he actually thinks that the American public at large has no idea what these classics were written about? Wow...i am just amazed at how a song from god knows how long ago is pushin his buttons....that and i don't quite see how Beck won't touch on other genre's of music....imagine what his hip hop segment is like lol

Come on friends lighten up on the Beckster! I thought progressives were all about voicing
opinion, you know; Free Speech! I don't agree with most of these left-wing propagandists, as a matter of fact I still watch them from time to time just to see what they have to say. I use to watch them exclusively until I started reading and listening to conservative talk radio. You'll be surprised at how much you will learn. Read Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand.
Beck,Limbaugh and orielly.... The fate of jerry falwell awaits you.. U knw what everyone sayin in hush tones.. good ridance. It will be long but not forever.
this guy clearly has no shame....wut a mindless cocksucker you are beck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!.....i will honestly smile if i hear that you've slandered the wrong guy and they decided to take you out...glenn beck = bad for humanity
Not surprising Beck completely misses the point with these songs when you consider he has called people fascist/communist/anarchists - apparently not knowing what any of these words mean.
@Avengers91 Now, thats the $64,000 question isn't it? He uses his "first amendment" right of free speech to pit Americans against each other & scare people. Shame on him.
Glenn is just now figuring out what "This Land is Your Land" and "Born in the USA" are about? I remember Reagan wanting to use "Born" and "Little Pink Houses" by John Mellencamp in his re-elction campaign, and wondering if he - or anyone associated with his campaign - had actually LISTENED to either song. At 14 I knew what they were about.
Way to be on top of things, Glenn! After, you know, 25 or 50 years, but still, right on top of things!
Long after this moron is gone, when he's barley footnote in history, as the Father Coughlin of our generation, Americans will still be singing Woody Guthrie's songs and be filled with a sense of pride in America when they here "This land is your land..."
Remember the American Revolution, or did you conveniently leave that out to strengthen your "case" against music, and how these musicians are "Progressive Communists."
Seriously, is there any difference between McCarthey and Beck at all!?
I really wish I knew where he was going with his attacks. He sounds like some crazy Evangelical speaker. I was expecting him to ask viewers to send in money to fight the war on evil any second. I wonder what he thinks about the Teabag revolution right now. And only stupid Reagan and the Republicans could use Springsteen's 'Born in the USA' without knowing it was a protest song against the government messing with Americans' lives. BTW, the 80's are over. Someone tell this guy.
Did you ever have an opinion about a piece of music that you did or didn't like? Did you voice your opinion? In the end, did your opinion really matter? Please apply your answer to this conversation. I'm digging the colorful Vocabulary and word choice, too.
@Milesdavis2998 ...hmm..well, i'm really sure what point you're trying to make, but i'll explain. of course there are songs, artists, and albums i don't like, but when i do voice my opinion, i guess i hope that my points can sway at least a few people. thats why i hate this--i'm afraid that some people may actually believe glenn beck. i'm a young guy--wasn't around when the song was written. glenn was. and it seems like he just figured out yesterday that the song was about vietnam........
@Milesdavis2998 .........which, though quite slow, is still okay if he can understand the message. the song isn't anti-american. its not trying to send a sort of political message in the way that beck is trying to do with his show and this topic. its a story about an average american, and a moving one at that. if glenn beck thinks that rock n' roll can be used for rousing patriotic anthems, then he is sorely misguided.
When I Iisten to Beck and think of all the people that are actually influenced by him I cannot help but think that America and perhaps humanity is doomed.
you commie morons might never get, i use the word "might" in the hope that you may get it one day, but not likely. "Get What?" you say, that tells me you aholes are so deep in ignorance that you are most likely a lost cause. best wishes, hope you wake up soon. not likely.
I dare ask, what exactly is it that you wish us "commie morons" to get? What makes a person a commie? Is a commie any person who disagrees with the teachings of your beloved Professor Beck & his crazy board?
Glen Beck forgot his hood.... WTF is wrong with guy...I'm tired of this BS I'd have more respect for this idiot if he just said what he's trying to say, him and Hannity. They think we're stupid, they just blatantly out in the open talk all around and use code word they have turned it into a profession. Its RIDICULOUS!!!
Beck are you legally retarded!? I ask that in complete sincerity.
Beck is opposed to revolution as that leads to destruction.... I recall some figures Beck is constantly pretending to have a clue about, the founding fathers of America. Yeah didn't they participate in something, what was it.....The American something.....oh yeah Revolution!
Thanks for clarifying your anti-American Beck. It was obvious but nice of you to make it clear.....fucking moron.
@mccainMOARlikemcFail yes, the bnp are bad but the stuff they say isnt stupid and retarded like this twat who thinks the difference between evolution and revolution is the letter r, its just something that majority of people in uk find racist such as separation of nationalities and races
I'm sorry, excuse my ignorance, I'm Canadian so I neither watch Fox news nor do I keep up with American politics, but wtf does he mean by "progressives"? Is it being used in this context to mean "liberal"? As in, a person who favors a political philosophy of progress and reform and the protection of civil liberties?
And if so...is Beck against progress, reform (when needed) and protection of civil liberties? O_o or is he just making up his own terms and mashing concepts together?
this guy is probably the biggest douche on the planet... his deductive reasoning reminds me of a Monty Python skit or something... It pains me to believe that there are stupid fucktards out there who follow this shit....
Didn't any of you learn from Bush. Don't take alcoholics to seriously. Learn the difference between entertainment "Glenn Beck" and actual facts. The fact is, Beck wants a "New Christian World Order" and is disguising it as a communist plot perpetrated by the president. A president that was elected by the people. Elected under the constitution, for those of you who are slow. About health care reform, if your against it throw your grandmothers SS check in the trash and tell her she is un-American.
Say what you want about ole beck, he does get alittle unorthodox at times but he's usually right on. hmmm u think its so patriotic to make monies off our boys that had to live and die in this war.??? I just wonder how much of his proceeds went to give back to the verterans that made him so much monies.
Glenn Beck!!! Please DIE!!!!! What are you an evangelist now? News flash!!! People who really like these bands/songs, already knew the meanings, and last time I checked, this is still a free country!!! It's not Bruces nor the Beatles fault these songs were mis interpreted and turned into anthems, its dumbass people like you, that just listen to the chorus, and hum the rest.
I'm still trying to get how someone can think of the word "progress" as bad. Of course, the same guy thought "empathy" leads to Nazi Germany, so...

hey beck/ did you know that if you drop the g from glenn and place the e from beck in to lenn like this you get lenen. which when you say it in a certain way it sounds like lenin? by your very own rules you are a comunist and a lenin supporter. i can hear you say "but thats ridiculus" and to that i say of course it is, manipulating words to describe other ideas is a tennet of 1984, where word has contradictory meanings. orwell is rolling in his educated grave

Glenn is just now figuring out what "This Land is Your Land" and "Born in the USA" are about?

At 14 I knew what they were about.

patchmack2 1 year ago
@Milesdavis2998 .........which, though quite slow, is still okay if he can understand the message. the song isn't anti-american. its not trying to send a sort of political message in the way that beck is trying to do with his show and this topic. its a story about an average american, and a moving one at that. if glenn beck thinks that rock n' roll can be used for rousing patriotic anthems, then he is sorely misguided.

And if so...is Beck against progress, reform (when needed) and protection of civil liberties? O_o or is he just making up his own terms and mashing concepts together?

Elected under the constitution, for those of you who are slow. About health care reform, if your against it throw your grandmothers SS check in the trash and tell her she is un-American.
