Glenn Beck calls My Chemical Romance lyrics “propaganda”

In today's edition of Fox News' Glenn Beck broadcast, conservative host Beck cites an episode of Glee in which the cast perform "Sing" by My Chemical Romance. Beck calls the show "horrific" and says that the MCR lyrics are propaganda.

The lyrics in question: "Cleaned up corporation progress dying in the process / children that can talk about it living on the railways / people moving sideways / sell it till your last days / buy yourself the motivation / generation nothing / nothing but a dead scene / product of a white dream."

Check out the clip from Beck's show below and let us know if you agree or disagree.

I am so pleased by this. MCR is doing something right when this shithead is complaining about them. Or as Frank says, "Yay!"

Also, Beck's dramatic reading of the lyrics is so fucking hysterical I was crying with laughter.

Well done, MCR! <333

The dramatic reading was the best part, I know! I want him to read the whole lyrics, please. xD

...er. Propaganda for what, exactly, Mr Beck? The only thing they are promoting is their own music, and by Glenn Beck's own conservative capitalist views, that's not a crime.

They are, I suppose, providing critical commentary of giant corporations, which is what I can only suppose he's reacting against, but the very fact he's so hostile indicates to me that such critical commentary is necessary.

Go team MCR! Annoy the shit out of conservative America! \o/

I WAS IN TEARS WHEN HE WAS READING THE LYRICS.... OH GOD!

I wonder what he thinks it's propaganda for?

This is a big step up from being an emo suicide cult. A+.

Thirded.

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

why is this still so funny?

[fleurdeliser.livejournal.com]

Because Glenn fucking Beck called MCR propaganda?

[stealenoughtime.livejournal.com]

I don't think he gets that the song is meant critically????

This is so WEIRD.

[akinamiyoko.livejournal.com]

But what is the propaganda for? He never said it!

Dramatic reading is almost as good as William Shatner's singing. Maybe they should team up for a worldwide tour? Opening for MCR, perhaps? Hahahaha!

frank's tweet is still my favorite about this.

[autumndandelion.livejournal.com]

I was wondering the same thing. He sounds like my drunk uncle, only he enunciates a little better.

[autumndandelion.livejournal.com]

I missed it. What did Frank say?

[why-am-i.livejournal.com]

I think he sees it as an attack on his way of life? I don't know. Bizarre. Also lulz.

Frank RT'd Ray and said:
