From the article: Radio host Glenn Beck has come under heavy criticism for citing a book on the air last week written by an anti-Semitic Nazi sympathizer named Elizabeth Dilling...Dilling tied her warnings against communism to Jewish plot conspiracies, spouted anti-Semitic rants and praised Hitler's work in Germany before World War II. After Pearl Harbor, Dilling was an anti-war activist and spoke at rallies organized by U.S. Nazis, leading to her indictment and trial for sedition in 1944.

From the article: "I'm also getting some amazing mail from the left that now says I'm a Nazi anti-Semite because I quoted a book on Friday," Beck said on the air today. "It was a who's who, who's in the Communist Party in 1935, apparently written by a Nazi sympathizer here in America, part of the, I'm sure – I don't know because I didn't look it up – but I'm sure part of the Father Coughlin, social justice crowd, because this is the choice that progressives give you – you're either a Nazi or a communist. No, I'm neither."

Same problem with Beck in his professional life as in his personal life: Lack of discernment.

The left looks, and looks and yet looks for anything to get rid of Beck. They look for the same things with Rush and others. Considering all the truth that Beck has exposed the American public to ... it is inevitable that the left would jump on anything Beck does that is less then perfect. Screw the left.

What makes Glenn Beck so likeable is his ordinaryness.

He could be your neighbor, your brother-in-law, or the grown-up boy from next door. There is nothing about him that is artificial.

He doesn’t have razor-sharp discernment? So what! Neither do the great majority of people in this nation.

Glenn is looking for facts about what has been happening in this country for the past hundred years. It is amazing where such a hunt leads and facts can appear in the damndest places.

That’s all this article highlights - nothing more.

Beck is not a deep thinker, he has various people feeding him information and if it suits him, he runs with it.
HE is out of his league. The Elmer Gantry type last as
long as the lemmings keep their blinders on.

I’m not surprised. The LDS church has a ‘replacement theology’, that America (particularly the LDS) is Zion, that they are the chosen people of God now, and that Christ will reign from Missouri, not Jerusalem.

Many Neo-nazi groups also subscribe to a similar replacement theology.

he can't win either way- unless he just makes FUN of them....he's getting all together too serious about all of the attacks.../s

best way to fight them is to ridicule them. like using this picture.

So, you can’t read a marxist attack on fascism, and you can’t read fascist attacks on marxism? I read it all.

Tonight’s TV program was devoted to Hayek who is one of my favorite authors; I’ve read Road to Serfdom a couple of times and Constitution of Liberty about three times and looking forward to a fourth.

No one does what Beck does on TV, and its a pity.

J Edgar Hoover and the OSS performed such an amazing vilification agitprop campaign that even now over a half century later, we as a nation can not perform civil discourse on the political spectrum of 1930’s Europe.

Glenn Beck is the Gentile Jackie Mason.

He’s an ENTERTAINER. And he’s not all THAT entertaining.

IMHO . . . IM “not so” HO.

Go to You Tube and search for Jackie Mason and listen to some of his latest rants.

The left hates this man and will find any flaw to condemn him. I do learn a lot from his show and I believe he is a man who wants what is best for our country. I have read that he even has security for fear that someone will hurt/kill his wife and/or kids. What he says must be serious for that action to be taken. I hope he has a crew that does better research BUT I am willing to allow some mistakes.
