NOTE: Beck is one of biggest supporters Israel has. Netanyahu has praised him. From the preposterous, hate-filled Milbank diatribe, this is unbelievable =
Joe Lieberman, first Jew on a presidential ticket, was embracing Beck, the leading purveyor of anti-Semitic memes in the mass media. One of the most visible Jews in America was making common cause with a man who invoked apocalyptic Christian theology in promoting his rally in Israel.
I admire Lieberman, and I’ve defended him over the years when he defied party and faction. But if he shares a stage with this creature, he will surrender the decency that has defined his public life.

Joe Lieberman and Herman Cain are both going.

Just called and left Lieberman a message thanking him for going and asking him to call out Dana Milbank.
I am not at all familiar with Milbank, but I am very familiar with Beck, having listened to him and watched him quite a lot over the last several years. I have never heard him say or imply anything that is the least bit anti-Semitic or anti-Semitic couched in terms of being “anti-Zionist” or “anti-Israel” or “against Israel’s governmental policies” (semantic tricks of true anti-Semites). Note that I am more attuned to this issue than most people out there, since I am Jewish and since one of my brothers lives in Israel with his family.
Beck is the antithesis of an anti-Semite, and Milbank is either wholly ignorant of what Beck has said or wilfully ignorant - i.e. ideologically driven. Given the background of the Washington Compost and most of its shills/reporters (I AM familiar with that bunch of birdcage liner), I have little doubt that Milbank is a Leftist ideolog. However, I will give Milbank the benefit of the doubt, and allow for pure stupidity to be the reason for this article.
This is from the Washington Post. They attack anyone who even gets close to a Conservative.
Hard to believe anyone even buys this paper to wrap their fish in.
Let me remove any doubt. He is.
I, too, am Jewish, have watched a lot of Beck on both CNN and FOX, and find it difficult to believe that Milbank knows much about him. OTOH maybe he does and is just spinning to advance his agenda.
Beck is anti-Soros and Soros is a Jew, so therefore Beck must be antisemitic.
The logic of a liberal is truly astounding.
Glenn Beck - anti-semitic??? Holy cow.. More proof that the folks tearing people like Glenn down have NEVER watched him or listened to a word he's said.
They must be really concerned about Beck and his Israel rally interfering with their agenda.
Wow a good portion of this article is flat libel.
Of course since it’s whackjob liberal media nothing will come of it though.
When Lieberman was on the show, Glenn introduced him as someone he disagrees with on a vast majority of issues but he wasn’t going to turn him away on the one issue they do agree on.
“anti-Semitic memes “ Where? I’ve watched Beck since he came to Fox and never once have I heard him say anything like that...now he has pointed out in a joking manner the anti semitism of the left so maybe that is where they get theat from?
I am a religiously observant Jew and have listened to Glen Beck on the radio and watched his television show on many occasions. I have nothing but respect and admiration for him and have never seen the slightest shadow anything to indicate that he is even in the least bit anti-semitic. Glen Beck is a great man.
