Why does Glen Beck disrespect community organizers? Hitler was one.
And God knows that's where Beck gets most of his values.

3. Hitler wasn't really what I would call a "community organizer"
Hitler got into politics by joining and participating in party politics.

However, like Beck and Dobbs he made his bones by becoming a populist (AKA telling the weak minded what they think they want to hear) and by stoking the fires of racism, xenophobia, and other bigotries.

5. I was just riding the Jesus & MLK tropes, getting a slash in at Beck
by invoking Godwin's Law.
