Glenn Beck Video Reflection

I think this video clip was really interesting because it takes one side of the Che argument and makes such strong points that you lose the other side of the argument. Beck really attacks everything Che was and what he stood for. I think the clip was effective though, because it did get the point across that Che is not who everyone thinks he is. Glenn Beck uses an aggressive style to prove his points. He uses words that people associate as negative (i.e. Fidel Castro, Bolivia, Socialists, Stalin) to make his points. Since viewers associate the words above as negative, they will therefore come to the realization that Che was not a hero. Beck also uses a sarcastic humor (Driving people on a log, milking for cash, ect.) to depict how unheroic Che was. I think the video is kind of unfair in a way because it does not talk about who Che was. Now, the message I am left with is that Che is this awful person similar to Fidel Castro.
