[lbo-talk] Beck: Rupert Murdoch part of Marxist conspiracy.

[pandora akkiraz]

Right-wing republicans (both "social" and "cultural' conservatives) have
often used the myth that Oxford is a Marxist university for propaganda
purposes (bizarre for me, since i was schooled in the UK and as a
VIth-form-leaving student was told by friends at Cambridge not to attend the
conservative Oxford rival campus.  In fact, when i think of Oxford it calls
to mind vicious Islamophobic conservatives like Roger Scruton).

Anyone remember the right-wing media-backed campaign to discredit Clinton
for being a Rhodes scholar at Oxford?  I quote Limbaugh: "do you know who
teaches Rhodes scholars?  Marxists." [source: 'This haircut business is the
most': Multimedia Entertainment, Inc., 5/27/93]

While working on Dan La Botz's senate campaign here in Ohio recently (more
on this, if i can squeeze a plug in, at:http://www.socialistwebzine.org/2010/11/
ohio-campaign-great-success.html), i was told to go back to "Marxist Sweden"
or "Communist France" a couple of times.  (Aside from the obvious
confusions, and on a strictly geographically level, do they think England is
a part of these countries?).  Cest la vie...
