Is Glenn Beck an anti-Semite? Fox host slammed by Anti-Defamation League for attack on George Soros

Glenn Beck is in trouble for mouthing off, again.

The Anti-Defamation League slammed the conservative Fox News host for accusing liberal philanthropist George Soros of helping Nazis to send Jews to their deaths during the Holocaust.

Beck said on the radio this week that Soros — as a 13-year-old Jewish boy living apart from his parents in Hungary — "used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. … It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

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."

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League called Beck's comments inaccurate, "completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top."

1. Yes!

If anyone is willing to actually look at history and the language used to paint the Jewish population it will be glaringly obvious that the language is the same.

Beck is mentally ill and Faux is allowing him to spew his racist fantasies to the world. Where is the FCC? This is irresponsible and dangerous antics.

You see people don't get it...the attacks against President Obama - remember the President Obama is a racist...blah..blah..blah..well now he is doing the same to George Soros.....this is a sick thing Beck is doing and it will lead to very bad things.

2. What else could he be? We know he's always been a liar, so bigotry isn't far behind. -eom-

[Angry Dragon]

3. I don't know if he is anti-semite, but he is a secret Muslim

He says he is a Mormon, but I have never seen his secret underwear.
So he must be a Muslim because his boss is a Saudi and they are all Muslims.

[golddigger]

4. Those wacky Mormans.

[24601]

5. Is George circumcised? He better steer clear of SF.... n/t

[Grassy Knoll]

6. Glenn Beckkk is enjoying every minute.....

of all the attention he's getting.
Mccarthyism and the Birch society is making a
comeback thanks to this a$$hole.

[John Kerry VonErich]

28. like what we're doing right now

adding on the attention. i wouldn't be surprised if ADL was bought off by News Corp to post a statement.

[Raschel]

7. That Glenn. Is he reading the seer stones again?

[1776Forever]

8. Good reason for Mr. Soros to consider "founding" his own channel for the real news! n/t

[Divine Discontent]

15. I haven't checked, but I wonder if there's a petition to Soros about getting a nationally broadcast

progressive news network on! I'm tired of corporate news that dictates what we hear.

[Divine Discontent]

9. Beck is a desecration against decency. Sadly, there's many people who watch him who we would

disgusted to know view him regularly. One of my friend's dad, who is my old pastor, watches him daily, and she is so disgusted about him watching it. This Beck fella, along with Palin, Limbaugh and a few others, are a manipulative group who use fear and propaganda to gather a following that is taught paranoia. It's so sad that about a 1/3 of people align as teabaggers. Rough economic times bring about strange behaviors from some folks.

[Skittles]

12. CORRECT

he's an insult to all decent people

[Divine Discontent]

13. hi Skittles!

:hi:

[Skittles]

14. HOWDY DIVINE!

:hi:

[Divine Discontent]

16. it's a lovely night here in FL, how y'all doing o'yonder? I wish I could go for a late night swim,

but it's just a little too cold in the pool. Just a beautiful night!

[Skittles]

40. a little too cold now to swim in Texas

during the summer, I take the occasional swim across a lake and back at midnight :D

[AlbertCat]

10. Is Glenn Beck a paranoid Mormon 700 club for the terminally credulous?

...is a more pertinent question.

The rest will follow.

[Hawkeye-X]

11. There's only one remedy

is to indict Glenn Beck on 6 million charges of hate crimes.

He'll be in prison for the rest of his life. His first parole hearing is when he's 500,012,123,112,121 years old.

[AsahinaKimi]

17. Now there is a lovely thought

Beck in Prison Orange, sitting next to Dick Cheney, and George W. Bush. I firmly believe there is an alternate universe some where, where that is already happening.

[David Zephyr]

18. This fuck should be removed from the public airwaves. This is Mormonism?

This is one of the most appalling things I've ever heard of in television.

We must not let this go.

[Jefferson23]

19. The pig Beck laughs all the way to the bank...sickening. n/t

[Blue_Tires]

20. does anybody sue for slander anymore?

seems like an easy case...

[sam sarrha]

21. he is whatever someone is that's off their medication...

:crazy: :freak: :tinfoilhat: :hide:

[HuckleB]

22. Yeah, you should hide for that BS.

He's a fool. He is a bigot. He is anti-semitic. That doesn't mean you have to demean those who live with mental illness.

Cut the crap.

Stigma sucks.

[John Kerry VonErich]

25. anti-semetic? no

just a man dumb enough to confuse judism and zionism

[HuckleB]

34. He is dumb.

He is also a bigot.

[John Kerry VonErich]

35. Bigot yes, but....

in this case, it wasn't anti-semetic

[fascisthunter]

43. why... the man is crazy! Not all mentally ill people are bigots

and that poster didn't say or suggest that.

This is the third post in the last week on DU where people calling right wingers crazy or nuts are being attacked for bigotry. Is this a new meme here? I take meds, and I'm not offended, that's what really amazes me. The 3rd time now I see this BS.

[go west young man]

23. George Soros didn't have a choice when dealing with the Nazi's.

Beck on the other hand chooses to exploit what happened to Jewish people under the Nazi's
for his own sick self serving reasons. He is the mirror image of that which he projects onto others.
This is his defense of his sick shtick. He like Rupert Murdoch makes money off of other people's
misery, fear, paranoia, and hate. The metaphorical devil in the bible is alive and well and resides
in the ignorance at Faux.

[donquijoterocket]

37. I'd say

Soros' situation was remarkably similar to the current pope's who probably couldn't have avoided being "drafted" at age 14 into the Hitler Youth.Seems they had an equal amount of free will.Glennda the Beckerhead on the other hand has complete freedom to be fully up front and honest with the public,but the lure of fame and the worship of the great god Mammon compel him to be a combination grifter and zoo primate always only one step away from playing with his own feces. No offense to primates anywhere intended.

24. Glenn Beck and Ambraham Foxman.

Two of the biggest bullshit artists this country's got.

[COLGATE4]

30. Would you care to provide some intelligible explanation for

this knuckle-dragging comment?

26. Pushing the envelope...a little far...BECK!...

BECK is a Germanic Surname...maybe Blond Hair Blue Eye BECK is finally showing his inner American Neo-Nazi...

[Enthusiast]

27. Just more lies from Beck.

What do we expect...

[timtom]

32. Didn't Soros admit as much on 60 Minutes in 1998?

(This is in no way a defense of Beck. But, in this case, he didn't say anything untrue, at least as far as the provided transcript indicates.)

We already have enough reasons to engage in a hate-fest of Beck! We don't need misleading crap like this to do it.

And, yes, I will join in on a Beck hate-fest any day.

[CJCRANE]

36. What Beck said isn't accurate.

There is a grain of truth in it but he changes things, embellishes, exaggerates and invents details.

That's faction at best but more likely deliberate slander.

[Cass]

29. His comments here are way beyond the pale.

There is no excuse for attacking the actions of a child living in such terrifyig circumstances. No excuse whatsoever. If there's enough of a backlash he will probably go on his TV show and cry his crocodile tears and offer up some bullshit excuse to his mush-head viewers.

People like Beck sicken me...they are so filled with hate that it consumes them completely then spills over and poisons everything and everyone around them.

[COLGATE4]

31. Beck isn't a hater. He's just a first class con man. He puts his

finger to the wind of far right-wing craziness and then decides what his program will say. Right now he's pandering to the Militia types who believe that we're going to be taken over by the 'One World Government', and he's appropriated the vile 'Protocols of the Elders of Zion' (a Czarist Russia hit piece to justifying persecuting Russian Jews), updated it and interlaced it in with his attacks on George Soros (conveniently Jewish). Beck believes in nothing except $$$ for Beck, and so far he's been right. Of course, in his attempt to exploit the low-information voters and assorted mouth breathers if someone actually believes him and hurts or kills somone, well, that's certainly not HIS fault. HE didn't advocate violence. :mad: :grr: :banghead:

[Scurrilous]

38. K & R

:thumbsup:

[xor]

39. ugggh... What an ass. But imagine if a liberal said the samething about a jewish conservative

The right would be up in arms about it. I'm also pretty sure that most on the left would have the same responses as we're giving now.

[NuclearDem]

41. That's it...I've had it with this guy

It was funny for a while, but this is just the lowest of the low

[No Elephants]

42. Sooooo, what did Beck say about his alleged admirer, Pope Bennie?
