I'm glad those morons are no longer in radio. At least it isn’t as bad as when the Bush administration paid cash to FM Radio talk show hosts to push his agenda.

Try embracing more media sources and maybe your post could actually have some credibility. Watching a Right Wing Conservative news station does not exactly provide an unbiased account of the events.

The Federal Buidling in Every large city is a Public, Federally owned, building, and it too has art of some form in it, funded with public dollars, what's wrong with that? And what about the Public and National Parks systems? They too have art and that is funded by public dollars. The problem with the examples given is that in both cases the patron of the arts was a dictator, Hitler and Castro, ergo they dictate what the subject of the art shall be. In a democracy the subject is suggested, but then too if the patron doesn't like the subject he can reject it, as in Diego Rivera's "Man at the Crossroads" Rockefeller didn't like the presence of a image of Lenin in the mural and had it destroy when Rivera wouldn't change it for aesthetic reasons. An artist is an odd character, you don't tamper with her or his creative spirit, and the patron is generally a cold, calculating and unfeeling thing, interested only in his or her investment. Thank you. Government funded art is what graces many of the Public Buildings in Washington DC, is it so bad?

They expose a time-honored totalitarian tactic; employ art to create imagery that reflects the regime in a "positive" light and then bombard the serfs to affect a change in their perceptions and attitudes toward Dear Leader and the regime. You fail to refute anything said by Beck or his guest and instead make infantile and irrelevant comments about Beck's head exploding and the torture of Arabs. My advice to you is, invest a couple bucks and buy yourself some intellectual honesty. We would miss the unintended humor but you might gain a modicom of respect. BTW: Obama might not conrol every cent the NEA spends, but he certainly can, and apparently has, made known the "new" direction he would like the agency to take.
