400 Rabbis protest Fox host's use of Holocaust imagery

[RamboLiberal]

Four hundred rabbis will publish a letter on Thursday calling on Fox News to sanction host Glenn Beck for repeated use of Nazi and Holocaust imagery and for airing attacks on World War Two survivor George Soros.

In an open letter to Rupert Murdoch, the chairman of News Corp which owns Fox, the rabbis also demand an apology from Fox News chief Roger Ailes for characterizing Beck's Jewish critics as nothing more than "left-wing rabbis."

The letter will appear as an advertisement in the News Corp-owned Wall Street Journal on Thursday for which the rabbis spent more than $100,000, a spokesman said.

A Fox News spokeswoman did not immediately comment.

In the letter, the rabbis cited "unacceptable attacks" by Beck against Soros, a billionaire financier who grew up in Nazi-occupied Hungary and is a frequent target of conservative commentators.

1. You know how hard it is to find 400 rabbis who can agree on something? n/t

3. No lie.

400 Jews makes for at least 1200 opinions. Kind of like one of my family's gatherings, but with fewer people and more opinions.

I'm glad Clown Blecch's critics are taking up their complaints with Ailes & Murdoch, where the blame truly lies.

... of the 10 worst people hurting America are Jewish.
