Glen Beck on CNN spreading his vile hatred of Islam
He even has ultra-fascist Netanyahu on his program to "prove" just how dangerous Iran is. Of course, we're relying on Beck's translation for everything that is said on the program.

3. No, he was speaking English
However, we have to rely on Beck's production team to translate all the Arabic and Farsi segments.

6. Islam is the New "Jew"
Remember the Nazis and how they spread fear and lies about Jews. When it isn't Islam anymore, it will be another group of people. Bigotry knows no bounds..... It's hypocritical and disgusting.

7. I have listened to Glenn Beck a few minutes a
few times he sounds like he would like to nuke everyone in the middle east. Another Republican that probably never served.

Glenn Beck
Born: 10-Feb-1964


Gender: Male
Religion: Mormon
Race or Ethnicity: White
Sexual orientation: Straight
Occupation: Radio Personality

Nationality: United States
Executive summary: Conservative radio talk-show host

Glenn Beck grew up in Mount Vernon, Washington, a small town about a hundred miles from Seattle. He started on radio by winning an hour of air time in a contest on one of the town's two radio stations. While still in high school, he worked as a late-night and weekend disc jockey at a different station about forty miles from Seattle, until he was fired for missing scheduled shifts. He went straight from high school to full-time radio work, and by his mid-20s he was a successful radio DJ. With his early success, though, Beck became an alcoholic and daily drug user. His first marriage ended in divorce, and then he kicked his addictions with help from Alcoholics Anonymous. Now clean and sober for years, Beck says he still suffers back pain from an injury incurred when, intoxicated or high, he tumbled through a window.

Beck suffers from Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), so his radio show is always fast-paced. Fans describe him as quick-witted, well-informed, an independent thinker, and a good Christian. His mantra, he says, is to begin and end each day on his knees, praying for the troops and the president. A Mormon with self-described libertarian leanings, Beck is big on conservative politics and traditional family values, and his radio program is syndicated on more than 200 US stations. He also has an hour-long TV show that runs three times nightly on CNN Headline News.

In the build-up to America's 2003 war on Iraq, Beck countered anti-war protests by using his radio show to organize dozens of pro-war rallies across the nation, and he has promised he will never question the cause, “no matter how unpopular this war gets." He has described Jimmy Carter as "a waste of skin", Cindy Sheehan as "a pretty big prostitute", and fantasized on the air about strangling to death Michael Moore.

Beck is also the founder and editor of Fusion, a magazine of right-wing political perspective, where a regular feature is the magazine's humorous "future obituaries" of prominent liberals, celebrities, and terrorists. In its September 2006 issue, Fusion solemnly commemorated the fifth anniversary of September 11 with a cover drawing of Beck standing in front of World Trade Center's twin towers.


Mother: Mary (suicide)
Wife: (divorced, two daughters)
Daughter: Mary (has cerebral palsy, b. with first wife)
Daughter: Hannah (b. 1991 with first wife)
Wife: Tania (two children)
Son: Raphe (adopted 2004 with Tania)
Daughter: Cheyenne Grace Beck (b. 30-Apr-2006 with Tania)


University: Yale University (dropped out)
