Cliff Kincaid at America's Survival has launched a call for Fox News to bring back Glenn Beck.
This announcement comes on the heels of troubling revelations about Beck's firing and other disturbing trends at Fox. It quickly got front-page coverage at the Huffington Post, presumably to launch a campaign of ridicule and smears before Kincaid's idea builds momentum. No matter how much they sneer, the left is terrified of Beck.
Beck's firing was the work of George Soros, Kincaid has revealed. Soros funded Color of Change, the organization founded by Van Jones that launched a boycott against Fox after Beck (really Trevor Loudon) outed Jones as a communist. But Soros is also behind the groups Jewish Funds for Justice and Media Matters, both of which attacked Beck as an anti-Semite for his reporting about Soros' activities during WWII. Soros admitted in a 1998 CBS 60 Minutes interview that as a teenager in Hungary, he had participated in the confiscation of Jewish properties but felt no guilt about it.

Fox started drifting leftward at least three years ago They are still slightly better than the rest, but not by as much as we need.
And unfortunately, Beck’s time has come and gone too.
Make it about anyone else....and I will back it, especially against Soros.
that being said, I for one do not want to see Glenn Beck crying again....let they who would pay for his online videos enjoy this crybaby...
We have to watch “Boner” cry all the time also!Seems like he carries onions in his pockets.
yeah...your right about boner too...
...maybe its cigarette smoke???
The drift began right after the Ailes meeting with the Obozo’s people. I also believe there was some emphasis put out by him that Fox would not be aggresive on the side of the GOP candidate. Every once in a while now, rather than every day, someone there does point out another Obama partisan screw up but nothing like a true anti establishment press would do.
No to Beck. Fox doesn’t need another mouthpiece slamming Newt and breaking out the pom-poms for Romney.
Not only that, but when Murdoch turned it over to his son, and the Saudis partners exerting pressure about the same time, it really turned its coat.
I like Glenn Beck, but I wouldn’t want him back on Fox in his current iteration. He’s clearly backing Romney, and obviously holds Newt in disdain. Beck’s Fox show was crisp and informative at first, then toward the end degenerated into an ominous tone, consistently predicting apocalypse. It just got to be too much of a downer for me to watch.
As to “The Five”, the show that replaced Beck’s time slot, I’m warming to it. Bob Beckel is the only lefty viewpoint, and his unabashed liberal views get thrashed, cordially, I might add, by the other four. The tone of THE FIVE is decidedly more upbeat than Beck.
Eric Bolling is clearly in the Gingrich camp. Andrea Tantaros seems to me to be in the Gingrich camp. Both Greg Gutfeld and Dana Perino consistently bash Obama policies, I can’t tell if they’re for Romney or Newt, they’re certainly not lefties.
And Kimberley Guilfoyle has the hottest legs on television.
Say what you want about Glenn Beck, but you surely have to admit that he woke up one hell of a lot of people about Soros, Van Jones and the background of Obama’s “Czars”.
Yes, he’s a little ‘crazy’ by some people’s definition and yes, he cries more than he should. Big deal. He’s a Patriotic American with high moral family values.
He loves America and isn’t ashamed to show it. We need more like him, IMO.
“He’s clearly backing Romney...”
That’s where Beck and I don’t agree. Romney would certaintly lose to the zer0 and America cannot survive 4 more years of his Socialist/Communist/Marxist regime.
Rabbis call on Murdoch to sanction Beck
By Paul Farhi, Washington Post Staff Writer

A coalition of rabbis wants Fox News chief Roger Ailes and conservative host Glenn Beck to cut out all their talk about Nazis and the Holocaust, and it’s making its views known in an unusual place.
The rabbis have called on Fox News’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, to sanction his two famous employees via a full-page ad in Thursday’s editions of the Wall Street Journal - one of many other media properties controlled by Murdoch’s News Corp.
The ad is signed by the heads of the Reform, Conservative and Reconstructionist movements as well as Orthodox rabbis.
“We share a belief that the Holocaust, of course, can and should be discussed appropriately in the media. But that is not what we have seen at Fox News,” says the ad, signed by hundreds of rabbis and placed by the Jewish Funds for Justice, a nonprofit advocacy group. Earlier this month, the group organized a letter-writing campaign asking Murdoch to remove Beck from the air.
The rabbis were prompted by Beck’s three-part program in November about liberal billionaire philanthropist George Soros, whom Beck described as a “Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps” during World War II.
Soros was a young teenager in Nazi-occupied Hungary during the war and hid with a Christian family to escape the Holocaust. He once described accompanying his surrogate father while he confiscated property from Jews deported by the Nazis.
The Jewish Funds group has received financial support from Soros’s Open Society Foundations.
Ailes, in a November interview with the Daily Beast Web site, called NPR executives “Nazis” for their decision to fire Juan Williams, also a Fox commentator. He later apologized to the Anti-Defamation League, but not to NPR, saying, “I was of course ad-libbing and should not have chosen that word, but I was angry at the time because of NPR’s willingness to censor Juan Williams for not being liberal enough.”
But Ailes, in the same interview, defended Beck’s frequent use of Nazi references to describe his political opponents by attributing outrage over such remarks to “left-wing rabbis who basically don’t think that anybody can ever use the word ‘Holocaust’ on the air.”
In the Journal ad, which is also appearing in the Jewish Daily Forward newspaper, the rabbis write that they are “deeply offended” by Ailes’s dismissal of those who object to such language.
“It is not appropriate to accuse a 14-year-old Jew hiding with a Christian family in Nazi-occupied Hungary of sending his people to death camps,” says the ad. “It is not appropriate to call executives of another news agency ‘Nazis.’ And it is not appropriate to make literally hundreds of on-air references to the Holocaust and Nazis when characterizing people with whom you disagree.
“We respectfully request that Glenn Beck be sanctioned by Fox News for his completely unacceptable attacks on a survivor of the Holocaust and that Roger Ailes apologize for his dismissive remarks about rabbis’ sensitivity to how the Holocaust is used on the air.”
Thursday is International Holocaust Remembrance Day, an observance established by the United Nations in 2005.
“This is not an issue for liberal or conservative rabbis, but an issue for all,” said Mik Moore, chief strategic officer of Jewish Funds for Justice. “After all the calls for civility following the shootings in Arizona, we all think this is the wrong approach.” Moore declined to specify the cost of the ad, saying only that it cost “six figures.”
Thanks for saying that.
I want to weep,too, when I consider what is happening to this country.
I listen to Glenn’s radio program just about every day. He is not pushing Romney. He leans toward Santorum more than anything else.
I say bring him back. Don’t watch him if you don’t like him.
he can't hide that he's a fallen away Catholic turned stylish Mormon now...and even though Romney represents everything that Beck has been against, if Beck backs him, then we'll KNOW for sure what a fake Beck is...
Drek.
Mormon and stylish now? Didn’t know that.
I did not need a crybaby to give me this information...but if people need that, more power to 'em.
Greetings panaxanax:
Glenn Beck was to Fox sNooze what 60 Minutes (in the early 70’s) was to SeeBS. So what if he’s melodramatic and cries?
When O’Reily started pushing for homosexual union adoption of children is when I finally shut off the TV. But I did watch GB online at watchglennbeck and CNN.
Beck is well informed. His gloom and doom market predictions for 2008 were spot on. Only wished I paid attention sooner.
Cheers,
OLA
Beck continues to denounce Mitt’s big government leftism.
Just because they are both Mormons does not make them part of Mormon conspiracy.
Please show me where proof where Beck has supported Romney, or leave those kind of baseless accusations to the leftists.
Let’s stick to facts here on FR.
Right.
I have to admit, cept for FR, I have given up on any media. I watch reruns from 50s and 60s shows and my wife says I am more optimistic plus my blood pressure is down quite a bit too. The politicians have so screwed up this system to make it unworkable. I am just waiting for Rev II to get things back to where they should never have left.
IMO, if the GOP had gone after the POS over the elegibility issue, as the dems would have had it been a GOP winner with a similar backgroud, this entire matter would be moot. That told me all I needed to know about them, just go along to get along while reaping a personal fortune of wealth and power.
As far as His Excellency goes, the line from Marc Antony says it all, the evil that men do lives long after them. That will be the case with O zero as our decendants will have to live with it.
