So I’ve been watching Glenn Beck again lately

anthropophagous:

me: ” Glenn mentioned the Woody Guthrie classic American hit song on TV last night, and so many people were shocked to learn that this song is actually communist propaganda. Glenn goes over the words to the song, and once your brain stops mindlessly singing and actually processing the lyrics, it’s quite shocking. For good measure, Glenn also reads the ‘American’ classic ‘Born in the U.S.A’ lyrics by Springsteen. What do the songs actually mean? Glenn explains on radio today.”
ryan: hahaha
me: how are these people so stupid ryan
me: idk like i was shocked that “the internationale” was socialist
me: like i was horrified WHO KNEW
ryan: i know quinn its nuts
me: and come on, this land is your land? next we’;ll be finding out that there is a radical history to solidarity forever
ryan: ha
me: or you know
me: the rest of woody guthries catalog
me: or you know
me: the rest of bruce springsteens catalog
me: iidk have these people ever heard bruce springsteen or woody guthrie?

I really, really, really hope that there is a clip of this somewhere.
