Glenn Beck roused the National Rifle Association's annual convention this weekend with his attacks on New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg, but he also aroused criticism by a major Jewish group for depicting the mayor giving what appears to be a a Nazi salute.
The head of the Anti-Defamation League called Becks' comments "deeply offensive on so many levels," and B'nai B'rith called for Beck to apologize.
"Glenn Beck, the keynote speaker at the NRA's annual convention, trivializes the Holocaust when he compares New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to Adolf Hitler," B'nai B'rith told ABC News.
"The casual use of Nazi imagery or words serves to undermine the atrocities of the Holocaust. Glenn Beck should apologize," the organization said.
Beck could not be reached for comment Monday night, but after ABC News' story was published today a source close to Beck said that the logo "was a joke based on a famous photo of [Russian communist Vladimir] Lenin" and was not a reference to Nazis. The photo shows Lenin in a similar pose.
On his radio show today, Beck said he wants an apology. "I would like to call for an apology now by the mainstream media, particularly ABC News, for smearing my name and saying that I am making Bloomberg look like a Nazi," he said.
Bloomberg, who has spearheaded a new effort to have wider background checks for people buying guns, was a popular target for NRA speakers this week, seemingly displacing President Obama as the group's newest bogeyman.
At his nearly two-hour keynote address Saturday night Beck chastised Bloomberg for his campaigns to limit the size of sugary drinks, salt intake, curb tobacco displays and gun control.

When are the ADL and all the other Nazi hunters going to go after George Soros, a real Jewish Nazi who collaborated with the Nazis as they rounded up Jews for the camps?
You just answered your question. That's why people who were in Stalin's NKVD were not hunted down either.
Lets cut to the chase...
Did Beck or did he not give the Nazi salute ???
If he did then hes an idiot..
Don't hang the messenger, Marvin. I'll get verklempt...
;-\
America’s Jews get offended pretty easily yet they voted for the idiot we have in the White House who is doing the same things here that Hitler did in Germany.
Putting Government in charge of health care and taking away guns. Making his own laws. Funny they get along so well with Bloomie and Obama.
Bloomberg is a fascist loving national socialist. So what if he is Jewsish. There are many Jewish quislings who should know better and never forget where civilian disarmament leads — genocide.
I call for the ADL and Bnai Brith to apologize.
Beck has been nothing but a supporter of Israel and these corrupt organizations surely know that.

An Outlaw Tax Collector
By The Editors
On March 22, 2012, IRS commissioner Douglas Shulman testified under oath before the House Oversight Committee, which was inquiring as to whether the agency was targeting tea-party groups and other conservative organizations filing for tax-exempt status. He firmly and repeatedly denied that any such thing was happening. “There’s absolutely no targeting,” he said. A little over a year later, the IRS confirmed that it was in fact improperly targeting not only tea-party groups but also Jewish religious nonprofits and organizations inspired by Glenn Beck’s 9/12 Project....

Though we had a problem with healthcare to begin with. To tell the truth.
