Glenn Beck gets "Donald Ducked" - CBS Channel 5 Evening News

I love that they actually used the term "Donald Ducked" in the promo for their news segment!

News segment from Channel 5 Eyewitness News at 6 O'clock - October 6th 2010

SAN FRANCISCO (CBS 5) — In a nondescript Mission District apartment building, in a tiny room, lives a David who has taken on a Goliath.

Jonathan McIntosh didn't use a slingshot. He used a computer, and took aim at one of America's most controversial talk show hosts, Glenn Beck. And he ended up goosing him with a duck. Donald Duck.

A video mashup of Glenn Beck on the radio mixed with Donald Duck cartoons has gone viral. He worked three months on the project, sometimes 10 hours a day. So far, at the video has received at least half a million hits, among them Glenn Beck.

"It is some of the best, well made propaganda I have ever seen", said Beck on Monday's show. "But if I'm not mistaken, some of these re-mix videos get federal funding. We're looking into the funding of this gentleman."

McIntosh says he received no federal funding. No funding at all. In fact, he lost his job last month, which gave him time to work on the video.

In the video, Donald Duck loses his job and listens to the Beck radio show. The Depression-era cartoon and Beck's musings pair well. Out of context, of course. Beck talks of Nazi's and Communists taking over the country today and Donald Duck is fighting them back in the 1940s.

McIntosh thinks Beck's politics are dangerous and likes how the new media landscape can allow one person to take on the powers at the top. "I like that I'm able to speak back at him, and that people are using re-mix, or Youtube, to talk back and there can be a larger voice for those of us who don't have a big radio or TV station."

McIntosh has made no money on the video, but said it would be nice to get a job out it."

I hope some Democrat congressman/woman or senator hires you to be a political mud-slinger in 2012. I just wish that more people would have gotten the message sooner before making the mistake they have of voting in back the conservative capitalist cronies (CCC) that started all of this mess in the first place. I look for more jobs to be outsourced soon. I know you might be busy, but take the time to read my channel, you might get a chuckle from it.

@ConservateEliberat0r - Sorry to disappoint but I would never work for a Democrat, that party sold out to big business a long time ago. We basically have two branches of the Corporate Party in America today.

You need a way to donate on your website. I

Imagine if everyone gave a buck. You'd be making all the videos you wanted for the rest if your life! I'd give a buck.

[rebelliouspixels]

@Tesla108 - I do have a donate on my site at rebelliouspixels/com - Though I think I have only ever got about 5 bucks that way.

@Tesla108 Donate? Donald duck is copyrighted and all profits belong to Disney!!!

[rebelliouspixels]

@drahm33 - You don't know what you are talking about. This video remix is a transformative work that falls under the fair-use doctrine on US copyright law. Look it up.

You might describe Beck as low hanging fruit, however, the enjoyment and the respect to the author is genuine.

/watch?v=sPCZjJscHoE&NR=1 haha that is funny, i need to see that!

[ragemanchoo82]

Grab your GEDs, its time to defend Glenn Beck!

[feyth85]

Just curious.. but did you get a job out of all this? :) Hope you did! Love your vids!

[jaxxstraw]

It's nice to see Rules For Radicals being put to such practical use.

I just wish that the people doing this shit would realise that if they ever succeed, they won't have their nice computers to make arch, economically illiterate propaganda on. Hate capitalism all you like; just remember that capitalism built the society that can have a Youtube.

Whatever, keep sawing through the branch you're sitting on. You're doing a fine job!

Dude...my name is Jon McIntosh...

[zerbo803]

That crazy Donald Duck! lol

@rebelliouspixels

I'm so glad there is at least one person in America this fact isn't lost on.

All the best.

Any publicity for Glenn Beck is good publicity, LOL!

@rebelliouspixels As a progressive i would have to admit that i cannot vouche for everything that centrist conservaDems like Clinton and Obama did ( I myself consider myself to be an FDR Democrat). We have to put more pressure on these guys not to betray progressive principles, not abandon them altogether.
