Beck: Russian Communist Newspaper Endorses Obama… Americans Should ‘Do the Opposite’

Glenn Beck on Russian Newspaper Pravda Endorsing Barack Obama With Anti Mitt Romney Oped

On Thursday, Russian Newspaper Pravda (former official propaganda arm of the Soviet Communist Party) delivered an endorsement of President Obama in an op-ed that also attacked GOP frontrunner Mitt Romney.

In what was an exhaustive string of piercing insults, the column’s author, Timothy Bancroft-Hinchey, juxtaposed his detest for Romney – and the U.S.-Russia relations he believes would result from his potential election — with what he hailed a golden era currently enjoyed under Obama.

(Related: Selling Out to Russia: Beck Breaks Down Obama-Putin Relationship)

Responding to an instance in which Romney reportedly called Russia America’s “geopolitical foe,” Hinchey writes: “Exactly at a time when Russia and the USA are finding that they have far more in common than differences, exactly when they see that they are much more friends than foes, when they see that there is so much to be gained through collaboration, a foul-mouthed, big-headed oaf like Romney with more money than sense makes a comment that reveals who he really is to the world: a pea-brained, pith-headed simpleton with too much testosterone and too little common sense, with zero tact, no diplomacy and a paramount grasp on the intricacies of world politics.”

He goes on to exuberantly heap praise on a myriad U.S.-Russian collaborations, including its shared space works programs and the two countries’ ongoing cooperation sharing “information more freely on terrorists, on crime, combating drugs trafficking.“ Hinchey also painted a picture of excellent ”trade and commerce” partnerships forged under the current administration.

All of this progress, according to Hinchey, would collapse with a resounding thud were Mitt Romney to take office — a man he dubs an “ignoramus” and a “stick-in-the-mud wannabe“ who spouts ”outdated Cold War drivel like some redneck nearing an alcoholic coma.”

Much of Hinchey’s assertions induce incredulity, however, as most would argue U.S.-Russia relations are in a poor state currently.

On his Thursday radio broadcast, Beck honed in on this stunning endorsement of the current president and told listeners that “if we’re smart, we’d do the opposite” of what Pravda tells us to do.

He added that the New York Times would do well to endorse incoming Russian President Vladmir Putin as then “both propaganda arms” could be working in tandem.

If Obama is voted into office again, his policies then should come as no surprise, Beck argued. “We know what we are getting.”

Ironically, in Russian, “Pravda” translated means: “The Truth.” There is also a Russian newspaper titled “Novosti” which means “The News.”

A long-running joke among Russians goes: So, the news is not the truth, and the truth is not the news.

      According to some journalist who visited the USSR in 1980-90s (before Perestroika), a wife of a member of Politburo after a few shots of vodka told him:

      “You will have a black President in America soon. We are working toward that, and I know his name”.

      Can’t find the link to the article, but if it is true, KGB definitely succeeded…

      And, of course Putin was going to support him. After all, they have a deal.

    This worm we laughingly call a president was endorsed by pravda in 2008 but no one said anything. He was also supported publically by the Communist Party USA also. Still is. He is a communist and a POS.

      BHO and Roseanne Barr are the only democrat/socialist/commuists running, so Pravda went with the sure bet and endorsed BHO. Roseanne will get the “legalize it” endorsement.

      democrat = socialist/communist… why are we afraid to say that in the US? Other countries admit it. Our dems must think they’re still on the down-low.

      Speaking of France, remember when the French model said, “I am a socialists, so, of course, I endorse President Obama?” Duh.

      The lines were for anything that a person needed to sustain the daily life, especially for toilet paper and meat. Do not forget that the Russians took from all the satellite countries and pumped into East Germany just so they can save face when compared with the West. Sometimes we spent a full night in line because it was a chance that a delivery of goods will take place. Many times there was no delivery, and had to go to work after a sleepless night twice more depressed than normal.
      Make no mistake we are on that path, it is coming here, God help us.

    Well I agree with Beck that Obama needs to go. The person to replace him is the problem. If we go with a guy like Romney, we are handing the election to Obama. We need a candidate who is a stark contrast from Obama not a clone to take in the same direction just a bit slower than him.

    BROKERED CONVENTION 2012!!!! Its a chance for a redo! If not, I am think we will have a similar situation as Russia. Obama will become our Putin.

      Sad thing is, both Santorum and Gingrich envy Romney’s success as well. When they say, “Give me a piece of the pie or we’ll help get Obama elected,” they mean it.

      Imagine those two power-hungry whiners going against the BILLIONS Obama’s apparat has. This country will go down the drain because Romney is surrounded by godless political hyenas in his own party.

      Obama grew among commies, but his single greatest influence was somebody who abandoned him soon after he was born, and whom he briefly met only once when he was ten — his father. Like his dad, Junior is an active communist, just not out in the open yet, as he explained to Medvedev during his hot-mic tête-à-tête.

    Well, I guess old Barry does have a deal working with the Russians to be announced after the elections. I’ll just bet were not going to like it. I heard the Russians are slated to take over all food production under the new world order with engineered foods. ie codex alimentarius, maybe they are working out the plans. I think it also has something to do with driving family farms out of business, kill the competition ya know by making it illegal to produce food anywhere else.
