Who does this anti-Semite Beck think he's fooling with his Soros smears?
When even Abe Foxman defends Soros, you know something hateful is going on.


(Why would anyone who claims not to be a fascist make himself look like an SS officer on his own book jacket?)

On Tuesday on his Fox program, watched by about 2.8 million people, Mr. Beck said that during the Holocaust, the 14-year-old Mr. Soros “used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off.”

Mr. Beck continued: “I am certainly not saying that George Soros enjoyed that, even had a choice. I mean, he’s 14 years old. He was surviving. So I’m not making a judgment. That’s between him and God.” He also said that “many people” would call Mr. Soros “an anti-Semite,” though “I will not.”

Fox stood by Mr. Beck. Joel Cheatwood, a senior vice president at Fox News, said in a statement Thursday afternoon that the “information regarding Mr. Soros’s experiences growing up were taken directly from his writings and from interviews given by him to the media, and no negative opinion was offered as to his actions as a child.”

Still, Mr. Foxman asserted that Mr. Beck’s invoking of the childhood experience was “unacceptable,” adding, “To hold a young boy responsible for what was going on around him during the Holocaust as part of a larger effort to denigrate the man is repugnant.”

Writing on The Daily Beast, the author Michelle Goldberg said Mr. Beck’s Tuesday and Wednesday programs were a “symphony of anti-Semitic dog whistles.”

2. I Would Love to lay a Beat Down on him
see how that coward acts when he isn't in front of a camera and alone one on one. Since he loves spreading hatred and violence, maybe he should be on the end of it.

5. "Glenn Beck" literally means "Valley Stream".
Apropos of nothing in particular, just something I found out by looking up "glenn" and "beck" on Wiktionary.
