Glenn Beck, think before you preach (he implied that Geert Wilders is a fascist)
Atlas Shrugs ^ | March 8, 2010 | Pamela Geller

Posted on 03/08/2010 8:14:27 PM PST by Free ThinkerNY

Something very disturbing happened today on FOX. Glenn Beck who has, for the most part, steered clear of jihad, sharia and Islamic supremacism put his toe in the water and for the first time since I started fighting the long war, I got nervous.

Beck just called Wilders a fascist, and far-right.

He also mixed up Dominique de Villepin with Jean Marie Le Pen.

What is he doing?

Why would he stigmatize Wilders this way? Wilders is the embodiment of what our founding fathers extolled. Individual rights. Freedom of speech. Not sharia law.

Was Beck saying that the UK was right to ban Wilders in the interest of "community harmony?" And the fact that he was allowed to enter the UK last week was a dire sign?

He runs videos of the riots in Greece but never runs the Muslim rampages throughout Europe.

Beck is out of his depth in this. You cannot get up to speed on Europe in one crash course. The Islamic/left wing fringe is everywhere but what right fringe is he talking about in Europe? It can't be Le Pen, he is nowhere. Is this going after SIOE, the EDL?

Is this going to be be Beck's narrative? If so he is wrong. And he ought to be silent t until he learns everything.

Beck could destroy the freedom movement in Europe -- and the US -- if he erroneously stigmatizes it as fascist. The little green monster is one thing, and Glenn Beck is another.

Beck is a very mixed bag.

“Glenn Beck who has, for the most part, steered clear of jihad, sharia and Islamic supremacism ...”

And why?

Get on your prayer rug, read you koran and make it an early night Abdul.

I know a few Jews who left Europe because of Islam. Geert Wilders is no threat just common sense.

Who mentioned “kill” here?
“Killing” Jews was the extreme aspect of Hitler’s prejudice...what did he do at first with the Jews?

At any rate, I’ll stand on my ground that both Beck and Geller are walking on egg shells with their positions.

Skousen must never have written about Wilders. So Beck doesn’t really know what to preach in this case.

He used to talk about it on CNN and the radio until Muslims gave him death threats. My guess is the Saudi investor in Fox News told Glen he would make him really rich and “safe.”

Maybe Glen fell off the wagon and back into the bottle with his former porn addiction. Beck is no ally if he is after Wilders. BTW - Pam at Atlas Shrugs is a Jew and one of Geert’s biggest allies. She is a gem.

I am sorry but I don’t think very highly of Beck. I don’t like they way he ridicules “birthers.”

Even if I believed for some reason that Obama really was born her, I don’t see why people who want to see proof are ridiculed as though they believe in a flat earth or think little black helicopters follow them everywhere they go. There is nothing nutty about wanting proof of someone’s citizenship.

I happened to listen to him the day he went off on them and I have not had much respect for him ever since.

You pathetic idiot; your about as brazen as the frakin libtards and progressives you idiots blast every day. When someone challenges your views, you resort to demonization, etc. How quaint, huh? So because I make a counter point, you need to insinuate that I am a Muslim and need to get on my prayer rug? Moronic idiot, you have no clue.

Oh, so Muslims aren’t using the Dutch political system to impose Muslim culture and they’re not trying to set up Sharia law? Been to Rotterdam lately?

Did you see today’s program? He was really confused about several concepts. I was embarrassed for him.

Someone should ask Beck, personally, and nicely, to do a little research and retract that accusation.

I agree with you. I enjoy Glenn, but was very disappointed by what he said tonight. I think he went off half cocked regarding Wilders.

Forgot about that~~! New and depraved FOXnews. Muzzled by the muzzies! Not only muzzled, but forced to twist logic and facts, spouting propaganda for their masters. Dhimmitude!

The Islamic/left wing fringe is everywhere but what right fringe is he talking about in Europe?

Conservatives I respect say the British Nationalist Party is pretty clearly fascist if not neo-Nazi.

Glenn Beck is the only one in the media telling the truth.

If Beck called Wilders a fascist, he lied. Either that or he doesn't know what he's talking about.

I think I just put Beck on my ‘do not patronize’ list.
