What on earth has gotten into Beck? Is he getting his talking points from Ibrahim Hooper? As Pamela Geller says, "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."
Beck should have more sense.

Brain fart. He has ‘em every now and then - who doesn’t?
Yeah, it threw me when Beck said that.
It’s the Fox directive...on Special Report last night Krauthammer, A.B. Stoddard, and (to a lesser extent) Bill Kristol denounced Wilders as a demagogue.
Fair, balanced, and possibly corrupted by Arab money.
They are making appearances with some degree of regularity, I am afraid.
Beck is appearing to be controlled opposition.
He made a statement, however erroneously, that Europe is moving from the center to the right and left and that (implicitly) at the far right and the far left are dangerous forces in Europe (fascism and communism, respectively).
Geert actually isn't that conservative and Beck most certainly didn't call him a fascist.
That said, Beck needs to be very careful not to leave the wrong impression when discussing fascism in Europe.
Does Glenn need to do more of his own research? Does Charles? They are reading the wrong synopisis of Wilders' position. And even if right position; then making wrong conclusions.
Sad. . .expect better; and not getting it. Worse; these folks have a lot of people forming their first opinion of Geert Wilders; as many are not at all familiar with his history/story and so cannot know his great courage.
Nor have they watched 'Fitna' - the movie.
(Casting the Islamo-pleasing-capitulating UK as 'exemplary' in their action denying Wilders entry into Country was as painful as it was horrible!)
Beck has a new habit it seems: talk up freedom and the constitution then lash out at pro-freedom champions if they start to become a threat to the establishment.
He is a pied piper, be careful.
"On Pam Geller's Atlas Shrugs site, under "Update," she has a video of Beck interviewing Wilders on Islam and the Koran."
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ooBmZOH-oQE
"Move the video to approximately 4 minutes, 10 seconds. It pretty much sums up Beck's views."
"He told Wilders, "I disagree with you on...on Islam. I know Muslims that are good people....." Wilders tried to get in, "It has nothing to do with Muslims, it's about the ideology." As Wilders is saying this, Beck interrupts Wilders saying, "Yea, yea, right....."
My first question is, does he know something we don’t? If he does, he should clue us in. I’ve always considered Wilders a voice of reason in an otherwise crazy part of the world.
Glenn Beck has lost me as a viewer.
That’s what happens when the muzi’s take a large financial interest in FOX......
“possibly corrupted by Arab money”
Possibly?
Sometime a flame burns brightest just before it flames out.
Anyone else notice Fonzie hanging around the Beck set lately?
Pity
Fair, balanced, and possibly corrupted by Arab money.
Same directive that told them to bash the 'Birthers' who relentlessly continue to pursue and expose the fraud Muslim Marxist in the WH.
But I agree with you, I did not hear Beck outright call Geert a fascist
Beck spoke for well over and hour at CPAC about conservatism and the Republican party...and never mentioned national security, 9/11 or the war on terror even once. Not once. These are not brain farts. They are a pattern.
