YES!

We are really getting under their skin!

"First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win." - Ghandi

We are past stage two and entering stage three.

Next up: "then you win."

The only thing "evil" the liberals find about Ayn Rand is that she explicitly refused to recognize their authority to boss the rest of us around.

She didn't believe in God. But neither did she believe the liberals had any right to play God.

If people want to let a second rate video do their thinking for them, nobody can stop them. I will, when asked, give people the basics of Rand's philosophy, but I always say they should read her works. We have to go after the people who aren't afraid to think for themselves.

Amazing how quickly they start calling names instead of trying to make a reasoned argument. The level of hate for books about the love of life is amazing.

I’ve been watching this new show of HBO’s since the beginning but just watching it before this episode aired. :) Thanks for that! Um, The opening show was very funny and through everyone from every political leaning under the bus. It stop being funny after that. The show quickly showed it’s true aspirations-- it is meant to affect change through propaganda. I don’t watch it anymore. I wish Hollywood would realize that people have burnt out on ‘messages’. Television and film is suppose to be about escape, unless you are trying to produce a movie or film with a philosophy message, like Atlas Shrugged.
I notice for the first time the other day that ‘The Fountainhead’ is attacked in the movie ‘Dirty Dancing’. Totally caught me off guard. I hadn’t realize how many times we have been told about the ‘evils’ of Ayn Rand in one form or another until I started paying attention.

They are nuts.

We can expect more and more of this type of nonsense during at least this year and the next two, due as much to the current backlash against Obama's socialist progressive agenda and the increasing popularity of the Liberty movement in the country as to any other reason. Even some extremist conservatives seem to be jumping on the 'bash AR train' as well, as they see their influence waning. AR has become the poster girl of limited government and individual freedom and I think rightly so.

The Left is largely composed of people who have never gotten past the mental age of two - temper tantrums and all.

Well...we could find a philosopher who is a great writer who inspires millions on the left whose work endures despite moronic satire and make a film about him/her. Wait -- there isn't such a person. Well, I guess we'll just have to abide.

The video is patently moronic. It asks how could people promoting a rightwing political agenda support Rand when she didn't agree with the agenda. Because she's about following *your own agenda*, not other people's! The people who put this together havn't read the books.

Rand realized long ago that it was and is all about control. Under most Capitalistic Systems you control your property, your work and your product.
Suffering from Government Socialism or just plain socialism in any of its forms, is about them controlling you, an oligarchy, in other words.

I caught a snippet of a democratic position speech on the radio yesterday, and the speaker mentioned something from Atlas Shrugged by "Ann" Rand, that there are two sides to every question, where one side is right and the other wrong, but where the point between is always evil. His point was the Democrats know how to compromise to get at the best answer. He missed completely her meaning, that in a compromise with evil, only evil will win.

I had to laugh, because if even a democratic stump speech feels a need to talk about her and her philosophy, if only to try to put her down, she's gotten under their skin. And a few listeners may even have gotten the right message.

Unfortunately the narrator will go to his death not knowing the video supports AR since nobody talks about the narrator today so they certainly won't after his death but AR will be talked about for years and years to come.

Why I don't watch tv... I like to decide what my brain gets to absorb :)

I can't believe people like this. What absolute nonsense.

The problem is we do a poorer job than guys like this in representing the idiocy in socialism.
"Where is the I want freedom vs I am irresponsible"
or "I deserve free stuff vs you should work harder to support me"
or inefficiency in the US vs socialism in the US.

The video is a classic example of the fallacy of changing the subject and attacking the person. 1. The persons character is attacked. 2. The persons circumstances are noted. 3. The person does not practice what is preached. 4. The manner in which an argument (or arguer) is presented is felt to affect the truth of the conclusion.
Democrats use it all the time.

Greetings Friends,
If any of you are youtube subscribers (I am not) perhaps you would be willing to post the following link on the page?

I believe Mr. DeSapio provided it for us not long ago and it would go a long way to discredit many of the unwarranted attacks.
Respectfully,
O.A.

The Simpson's also took a swipe at Ayn Rand

That really was a stupid piece of work. Thats all I can say. Even if the subject was Obama, I would say the same. It was just stupid.

Yet more people saw this than will ever see Part 3.
