GI Joe Again

From Media Matters:

Citing new G.I. Joe movie, Glenn Beck warned of a possible "one-world-government nightmare"

But first, there's something else. We're being attacked someplace else in the cover of night, and if we lose this battle, we lose it all. Here's "The Point" tonight. G.I. Joe is the latest casualty in the war against the American way, and I know, I know, Glenn, it's just a toy, a little hunk of plastic, a cartoon. I know. And that makes it easy to dismiss this. But I believe that would be a huge mistake.

We cannot lose sight of the fact that G.I. Joe was a real guy and he is something more, as well. He's -- he is a symbol, and when you attack a symbol, you strike a blow against everything it represents.

I know. Glenn Beck proves he's an utter moron 365 days a year. This is no exception.

It's sad so many people can't differentiate between marketing and meaning.
