I think that Glen Beck made a lot of good points. I think it is interesting how he points out how ignorant people in Hollywood are to actual history and facts. They would never wear a shirt with a picture of Stalin or Hitler on it, but essentially this is the same thing. By explaining the things Che Guevara did, like start Cuban labor camps and run all aspects of Cuban prisons Beck further proves how crazy it is that people would show support for such a person. So obviously I agree with his claims, Che Guevara can easily be put in a category with Chavez and Castro and Hitler, and the idea of him being so popular among Hollywood makes no sense what-so-ever. Then again this makes me think, if he really was such an awful person and did all these horrible things, wouldn't more people know about it? Sure there is a lot of information that people are completely ignorant of but something of this magnitude you would think more people would have knowledge of. There must be more to the story than just the claims that Glen Beck made.
The style and voice he uses on his show are very straight-forward and sarcastic. Beck easily makes you think about how absurd the idolizing of Che Guevara is. His tone of voice immediately makes you not want to actually believe what he is saying because you can tell he doesn't actually believe it himself.
Beck definitely has a way of speaking that almost immediately shifts you to agreeing with his opinion. He is very forceful and makes you seem like a fool if you think anything otherwise. It is strange to me, however, that the general public is not educated on the terrors of this man. It seems like something that should be taught right away, and clearly it is not.
