Here comes Big Birther. Apparently, now Beck is going after Annie Leonard's wonderful web video: The Story of Stuff. Check out the horrid comments on this Youtube link, and the attacks that are now streaming onto her blog.
Luckily, she's responding forcefully:
While it may be hard for climate change deniers like Beck and his friends at the Competitive Enterprise Institute and Evergreen Freedom Foundation to swallow, there is a real hunger in this country for a straightforward, honest discussion of our environmental future. Teachers have told us that The Story of Stuff has been a valuable supplement to textbooks that give short shrift to issues like climate change by creating spirited debate and inspiring students to look deeper into what are truly some of the greatest challenges of the 21st century.
Beck didn’t have the courtesy to contact The Story of Stuff Project for comment or offer a spot on his show to rebut the claims of his guests. While playing fast and loose with the facts is nothing new for Beck, we stand behind our presentation.
Make no mistake about it: this fantastic resource has become a popular education piece in classroom all over the country, and the corporations called out in the video have obviously taken notice. They want this video shut down, and We the People need to make our voices heard.
Please swing by the Story of Stuff blog to show your support.
UPDATE: Of course, the best way to make sure this backfires on Crazy Glenn is to donate generously to this important project.
