Glenn Beck Smears 35 Percent Of American Jews
Last month, 400 rabbis signed an open letter from Jewish Funds For Justice to Rupert Murdoch requesting that Glenn Beck be sanctioned for his false claims that George Soros collaborated with the Nazis.

Today, rather than apologizing, Beck lashed out at the rabbis. Beck falsely claimed that "all" of the rabbis who signed the letter came from the Reform movement of Judaism. Beck asserted that Reform Judaism is "more about politics" than about faith. Beck went on to liken Reform Judaism to "radicalized Islam."

1. He is just digging himself deeper and deeper
While I do not condone violence, you can only push people so far before they snap back and 9 times out of 10 you lose an eye or more.

2. New crystal night coming?
There is still a strong and continuing anti-semitic thread oozing through America even if the rednecks and bigots are more concerned--today--with the black guy in the White House. We all know the Jews are behind everything that is wrong with Amerika and their day will come, especially with this centuries Father Coughlin happy to urge good, loyal 'mericans to stand up and surrender to their most basic instinct: HATE.

Beck should be removed from any public forum, for the good of the nation. Even O'Rielly and Coulter are closer to sanity.

9. A lot of these Fundamentalist Christians put Jews up on pedestal.
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 08:58 AM by peopleb4money
...which is a very dangerous place to be and has been historically. Early Christians used to attend the same festivals as Jews because they saw them as the chosen people and all that.I can only guess that there was a very deep seated envy in this view, being that it didn't take too long for those same people to wage pogroms against them. Its not, at all, healthy when a majority of people elevate a minority to the status of some religious relic. The thought of it makes me sick actually.

11. Did you hear about Beck promoting a book by an American Bund leader?
Edited on Wed Feb-23-11 08:53 AM by peopleb4money
It was some anti-Communist book from the 30's, and he claims he knew nothing about the anti-semitism. It shows that he's, either, without a doubt, a closet racist or doesn't know how to fact check and that anything he says should be taken with a grain of salt. ...possibly both. It also shows that the media isn't universally run by the Jews, because if there really was this huge ZOG conspiracy, he would have been pulled off the air for that.

Of course this source had a whopping, get this, 1 MILLION dollars donated to it by George Sorros, one of the few rich people who Beck claims is using their money to fund a political agenda. Of course that's not the case at all with the billions poured into Fox News. Oh, and he, like the Rothchilds (a wealthy family Beck fixates on as being a source of commie and hippy evil in the world) is Jewish. I think I can see what's going on here.

8. Some of these Ultra-orthodox groups are extremely political.
Kicking Palestinians out of their homes and putting them behind a wall seems a lot more political to me than the objectives of reform Judaism, which is simply to respect tradition in a sane and rational manner.

12. Enough to make you physically sick!
Beck is one of the nastiest characters imaginable.

And this is the first I've ever heard of Reform Jews being like 'radicalized' anything! Beck on the other hand...
