Glenn Beck's first documentary...may Michael Moore finally rest in peace

On January 22, 2010: Glenn Beck ran through the atrocities of Adolf Hitler, Joseph Stalin, Mao Zedong, and Ernesto 'Che' Guevara — "the true unseen history of Marxism, progressivism and communism" as Beck described it — with some implied lessons for today. [It is his first documentary.]

According to Lee Edwards, a fellow at the Heritage Foundation and chairman of the Victims of Communism Memorial Foundation:

• "solid research" and willingness to take on "still-prevailing myths about Che Guevara and Mao."
• "one of the best documentaries [he's] seen on communism..."
• "I think this suggests the line on Beck that he is some kind of wild man is just not true," Edwards said. "This guy is thoughtful and interested in history. How many journalists in cable, print or whatever have this kind of interest in giving you a historical context. I think he should be commended for that."
