Glenn Beck lashes out at the Anti-Defamation League
Edited on Sat Nov-13-10 03:35 PM by no_hypocrisy
What will it take to make Beck's listeners turn on him?
A condemnation by Elie Wiesel?


Glenn Beck lashed out at the Anti-Defamation League over its condemnation of his outrageous smear of George Soros as a Nazi collaborator. Beck said that the criticism of his comments was part of a "Soros-started" "smear campaign" and directed his staff to find out "if there's any George Soros money that has gone to ADL."

ADL director calls Beck's smears of Soros as a collaborator "over the top" and "horrific"
Foxman calls Beck's attack "repugnant." On November 11, ADL national director Abraham Foxman released a statement condemning Beck for claiming, during his falsehood-laden three-part series on Soros, that Soros collaborated with the Nazis during the Holocaust. Foxman's statement said, in part, "Glenn Beck's description of George Soros' actions during the Holocaust is completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top. For a political commentator or entertainer to have the audacity to say -- inaccurately -- that there's a Jewish boy sending Jews to death camps, as part of a broader assault on Mr. Soros, that's horrific. While I, too, may disagree with many of Soros' views and analysis on the issues, to bring in this kind of innuendo about his past is unacceptable. 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."

12. He needs drummed off in disgrace.
Edited on Sat Nov-13-10 05:24 PM by chill_wind
The same kind of initiative that overwhelmingly went to work to register a public's disgust at the MSNBC decision to suspend Olbermann should be put to work to register a sane-thinking public's disgust with him.

A petition to demand that his employers come up with something less repulsive than him. It's hard to believe his hard-core supporter numbers would outweigh an entire mainstream onslaught of letters and phone calls, waged relentlessly against his producers and advertisers until something is done about him.

20. Yes, they're all out to get you Glenn
And just like Lewis Black said, the only way to stay safe is to hide in a room for three years and not make a sound. We'll let you know when it's safe to come out.
