Last Wednesday (Glenn Beck Program, 11/10/10), we got a glimpse of how low Glenn Beck will go to smear a political opponent. Beck’s lie that philanthropist George Soros helped “send the Jews to the death camps” during World War II, was, in essence, an attack on a Jewish child for the heartbreaking things he was put through in the course of surviving the Holocaust.
But the smear was just part of the anti-Soros crusade Beck is carrying out on his national radio program and his Fox News show, portraying Soros as an “puppet master” who operates behind the scenes to destroy America as we know it and bring on a new international order. The language and imagery Beck employs in his attacks on Soros has provoked charges of antisemitism from the Daily Beast‘s Michelle Goldberg, among others. According to Goldberg:
Soros, a billionaire financier and patron of liberal causes, has long been an object of hatred on the right. But Beck went beyond demonizing him; he cast him as the protagonist in an updated Protocols of the Elders of Zion. He described Soros as the most powerful man on earth, the creator of a “shadow government” that manipulates regimes and currencies for its own enrichment. Obama is his “puppet,” Beck says. Soros has even “infiltrated the churches.” He foments social unrest and economic distress so he can bring down governments, all for his own financial gain.
Goldberg leaves little doubt about whether she thinks Beck’s broadcasts are antisemitic—she calls them “a symphony of antisemitic dog whistles”— but she allows that Beck may not fully understand the historical the terms and images he is dealing in:
It’s entirely possible that Beck has waded into antisemitic waters inadvertently, that he picked up toxic ideas from his right-wing demimonde without realizing their anti-Jewish provenance.
Whatever the case, it’s not the first time Beck has been linked to antisemitism, or at least to antisemites. As Media Matters has observed, Beck’s reading list, the roster of books he recommends to his viewers and listeners, includes titles by notorious antisemites:
On June 4, Beck took to the radio waves and told his audience all about this wonderful book he was reading called The Red Network: A “Who’s Who” and Handbook of Radicalism for Patriots. According to Beck, this book, from 1934, was proof that “McCarthy was absolutely right,” and evidence that even back before McCarthy went on his Red hunts, people in America shared Beck’s concern about the Communist infiltration of the country. “This is a book—and I’m a getting a ton of these—from people who were doing what we’re doing now.”
As it turned out, The Red Network‘s author, Elizabeth Dilling, was one of the anti-Communist movement’s great antisemites. The book itself blamed “revolutionary Russian Jews” for the rise of antisemitic German fascism and called “racial intermixture” a communist plot. Dilling would go on to attend Nazi rallies in Germany and nickname Dwight Eisenhower “Ike the kike.” Beck was unapologetic, instead making himself the martyr, saying that “the left” was calling him “a Jew-loving Nazi sympathizer.”
On September 22, Beck went on Fox News and introduced his viewers to another book, called Secrets of the Federal Reserve, pulling a quote from it to attack Woodrow Wilson. The author of Secrets of the Federal Reserve was one Eustace Mullins, who passed away earlier this year. His obituary in his hometown paper began as follows: “Nationally known white supremacist and antisemite Eustace Mullins of Staunton, described in 2000 by the Southern Poverty Law Center as a one-man organization of hate, died Wednesday in Waller County, Texas, at age 86.”
Secrets of the Federal Reserve details the conspiracy of German Jewish bankers to seize the wealth of the United States through the Federal Reserve. Mullins led a prolific and well-documented life of antisemitism and conspiracy-mongering, two themes that converged when he blamed the 9/11 attacks on the Israeli Mossad.
Moreover, in May, Beck repeated one of the classic tropes of antisemitism. While attempting to refute a point of black liberation theology, Beck incidentally repeated the old antisemitic saw that the Jews killed Christ:
If he was a victim, and this theology was true, then Jesus would’ve come back from the dead and made the Jews pay for what they did.
As the anecdotes and evidence mount, it’s harder to see Beck’s repetition of the classic themes of antisemitism as inadvertent.
Interesting how the ADL reacted to this.
While taking Beck to task over his remarks regarding Soros, they made clear their confidence that he was a steadfast supporter of Israel.
Their coming to Soros’ defense would also seem to signify that when it comes to “liberal” causes, justice for the Palestinians isn’t on Mr. George’s check (literally) list.
That’s just an assumption, though. Does anyone have any intel on his financial contributions to any groups legitimately working for a just solution?
Beck made his ignorance quite clear to me a while back when he claimed that Hitler spoke “truth” only blamed it wrongly on the Jews. I think he meant to imply that Germany should have stuck with killing the communists.
Also, he is one to talk about ill-gotten financial gain. It goes without saying that he does all this for the money, but he said so himself that it was too, just in case we thought he was really crazy.
Americans need to wake up the fact that Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with parts of Catholicism and his personal core as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same. The religion of Islam has more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.
The truth about Beck is that he a dry mormon alcoholic who never got the counseling required for alcoholics. Because he does not possess a single ounce of journalistic integrity, he is the perfect abortion poster child for Fox Network. Considering the fact that Becks personal views are extreme Marxist Libertarian, his form of patriotism is false and he is a person who has no real substance or depth.
Glenn Beck consistently demonstrates all the unstable behaviors of a dry alcoholic which include grandiosity, judgmentalism, intolerance, impulsivity, ADD and indecisiveness. In short, Beck, Limbaugh, O Reilly, Hannity, Palin, O Donnell and others like them frequently pervert truth, history, facts and the US Constitution when they open their big mouths. Beck is simply part of a national league of pseudo-conservative idiots.
justin elliot at salon writes…”Here’s an interesting coda to the exchange between the Anti-Defamation League and Fox’s Glenn Beck about Beck’s attack on Holocaust survivor George Soros: Fox chief Roger Ailes reached out to the ADL’s Abe Foxman after Foxman criticized Beck, the Daily Beast reports.
It was after that conversation that Foxman softened his criticism of Beck, telling Salon that while Beck is sometimes insensitive, he is in the end “a strong supporter of Israel and the Jewish people.”
People need to wake up the fact that Glenn Beck is simply another opinion pushing charlatan who is a product of mormon cult theology that he mixes with parts of Catholicism and his personal core as a dry alcoholic. And for the record, he is a Mormon and not a Christian. The two are not the same as one is a cult and the other is a religion. This makes Glenn Beck one very twisted screwed up moron who sold his soul to the lowest common denominator of personal stupidity. The religion of Islam has more in common with Christianity than the mormon cult.

Beck is simply part of a national league of pseudo-conservative idiots who make big money by selling lies and half truths to impressionable fools that occupy the lowest levels of society. Basicallyâ┚¬Ã‚¦tea baggers and registered republicans who are condemned to repeat the mistakes of history.
Don’t just watch Beck, use the power of the Internet to scope George Soros’ past and learn the real facts with the Historyscoper:
http://tinyurl.com/soroscope
Thanks, “Johnny Truth”. You’ve got the full picture of Beck.
Oh. So here is George talking about everything Beck accused him of. Sounds like Beck has some foundation for what he said if Soros said it on video. http://www.earstohear.net/soros.html
Fascism always needs a target to take the mind of the uneducated man off of what is really going on.
I find it interesting that you quote an obituary as EVIDENCE of Eustace Mullins being anti-Semite. I find this to be a huge problem in your anti-Semite arguments and activities supporting your claims against Glenn Beck. A fair and balance article would show evidence of said activity through documents, quote from reliable sources, but an obituary from a newspaper? You didn’t even supply the name of said publisher, writer, date, and or location of said newspaper. Is this fair reporting?
I’m a certified genealogist; I would NEVER use an obituary as evidence without further investigation and supported documentation. The readers of your article deserve better, you owe us a FAIR assessment of Glenn Beck’s statements and activity; however, the reader is subjected to a poorly documented and unsubstantiated opinion piece.
Jewish groups should mobilize to exterminate this Jew-hater Beck.
Why aren’t they up in arms already?
Why do they tolerate his anti-Semite actions and words?
FAIR need to use this to expose exactly how Fox “News”, Roger Ailes and that whole propaganda crowd posing as journalists operates.
Attacking Jews, Beck has finally given you the opening you need. Use it!
FAIR – please get busy!!
Becky – thanks for the Soros video.
But I think you have it all wrong. Its sad, you right wingers are so intoxicated by what you are fed by Limbaugh, Levin, Fox, etc. you have trouble hearing a man speak.
Instead of hearing what he really has to say, it gets filtered and distorted going through your funny and weird right wing machine. You are so conditioned that you MUST see everything in a distorted, self serving way.
This seems akin to a mental illness to me. If enough Americans catch this – and I sometimes think they have with all the weird Tea Party complete nonsense we hear now – it could be catastrophic for America. I think one can rationally trace much of the damage we see before us in America back to this sick thinking process.
But you are also being used by the corporate take over of our government. You elect Republicans who you foolishly think will carry out your crazy ideas for our government – then get disappointed when newly elected Congress people go back to their real mission – making America a government “of the corporations” instead of “of the people.” In reality – you guys are being used and should figure that out.
Who is T.S. Winslow. He sounds a bit paranoid to me. I see he makes no mention of the Koch brothers and those like them. This is History? Well, I’m glad that the left has at least one billionaire on there side. Let’s face it. The Billionaires of Capitalism want to keep there money at all cost. Enough is never enough for them, they always want more and more. they can never be satisfied. And not all of the billionaires are jewish. They are salivating over the Social Security Trust fund. They want to throw that money into the stock market. I say tax them to oblivion. They’ve been making money hand over fist for thirty years. They create jobs alright. In China. Tax there asses.
Beck’s vile boss at FOX Roger Ailes was interviewed by Howard Kurtz this week and managed to attack NPR and others as Nazi run and complained about public hostility to the constant use of the word holocaust attached to every possible offense as his minions do often at FOX News. This usage of that terminology by News Corporation/FOX News is purposeful, intentional and blatant anti-Semitism as should be obvious by the scandal of Ailes feeling he needed to include it in his rare interview. It’s a great shame that most Americans do not realize that Ailes and his boss/owner Rupert Murdoch are America’s greatest enemies in the world, far more then Bin Laden or Ahmadinajad if only because Murdoch and Ailes are already insinuated into our society.
So, if you want a real laugh, check out historyscoper’s er, um, history of the evil genius Soros. By his and that moron Beck’s lights, Soros is a malevolent cross between Rasputin, Hitler, Stalin, and old Beelzebub himself. And the cretinous Abe Foxman? How many times will he kiss the asses of the asses who only need to express undying fealty to Israel to get him to somehow overlook the very obvious? He’s one sorry toadying, desperate fool.
As far as Beck goes, I think Ms. Goldberg is probably right–Beck’s a very rich, ignorant jackass who thinks his new-found wealth makes him a genius. A fantastically stupid and lazy asshole is what he actually is. Too bad. He coulda been a good guy, pourin’ Slurpees at the 7-Eleven (his true calling) but went off the rails when the dough started sluicing in. One knows the good old USA is doomed when the dumb and the stupid start getting paid very well (Palin, O’Reilly, Hannity, et. al.) to be dumb and stupid. Ah well.

FOX news’ Glenn Beck, formerly of CNN Headline News, still crazy after all these years. I am convinced that him and those who listen to him and who call in to his radio show are seriously decimated intellectually. Rachel Maddow featured Beck commenting on the Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans group after being just told by a woman who called in to his radio show that on Veterans day she attended an event held by them that she was given food and offered help with different things and was treated very well. She got suspicious she says and discovered that Moveon.org was involved in trying to promote themselves and their liberal agenda at this gathering which prompted Beck to launch into drivel about progressives and Soros and the whole conspiracy about the lowlife left taking over society. He thanked the caller for standing up to these dire folks. Check it out on Rachel Maddow on Thursday, November 18.
Who cares what Beck says? I don’t. And I never watch FOX!
frank67, thank you for reminding me that I wasted my time on what Beck said, when the fact is I don’t really care what he says either. I see FOX through its purported lies shown by Jon Stewart, Steven Colbert and others. I don’t watch it but see it being exposed by other outlets. I tried in the past to give it a fair hearing but that is impossible for they are too dishonest and it doesn’t take long to flip the channel. The website is the same way, no truth to be seen. It is topical if only because it seems dangerous what they are doing to discourse in this country.
He is a strong supporter of Israel and the jewish people therefore he should be left free to promote fascism and to destroy America with his disinformation campaign……….interesting rationale; but who am I to judge?
Never heard Beck say an anti semitic thing.But he has been very good at tracking where these stories have come from and surrrprise surrrrrprise they are George Soros funded papers.BEcks reporting has been withering.He has relied heavily on playing George Soros interviews.The words from his own mouth are so damning that Beck needs to say little.Take a listen to his description of the “FUN”he had collapsing the bank of England.Sounds like an SNL skit.He is not a nice man.Any support for him is misplaced.
@Frank67: Who cares what Beck says…?
I do, because too many of my fellow citizens get their information from Beck. On that false, hate-filled “information” too many form opinions, and vote those opinions.
The quandary is how to balance first amendment rights and the responsibilities of the media. Are there any responsibilities relating to truth and honesty? In a democracy where the vote of the misinformed bigot holds the same value as any other, where do we stop with the slime and lies?
The saddest part of this is that Foxman,after getting an apology from Ailes (not Beck,Ailes) said that Beck is a freind of the Jews. Are you drunk,Abe? What Jews,Kissinger?Wolfowitz?Perle?
If you are a Jew and watch that network,for shame.
Des, look on the bright side. Now that the election is over, we get a break fron the constant drumming about how a mosque, next to a strip joint and a Burger King, is going to be built on “hallowed” ground. Notice how things are so quiet now? I wonder how much they spent on that one. Still, there are no constitutional freedoms with fascism. Not even human life matters to these people.
Gentleman we have a president who after 25 years …..May i repeat that?25 YEARS……of close ties with his bigoted ,racist, sepertist reverend friend, was able to get away with saying he never heard him say anything untoward to anyone.Bill (the bomber)Air-head… he never heard of him. School grades and medical history ah dah…I done lost em along wit me birth certificate.LOAds of radical ties to all kinds of ..well radicals. Never happened. Crooked land deals….records sealed, and press along for the ride.I could go on all day. This is the guy that effects your life.Sends our young to war. Taxes you.IS as anti Israel and Jewish as anyone iI can remember. And not a word against this stone cold liar. You worry about Glen Beck.A guy with an opinion that you can take or leave.Wow I Think some of you need a re wiring
Just how far does a right-winger’s have to shove his right wing head up his right wing ass to think Obama is anti-Jewish?
A.”proc”toligist says
Spend a day in israel…Listen to a people who live on the knifes edge.Their view of Obama is unequivocal.How many times has he snubbed meeting with our friends…. our only friends in the middle east?Israel has no friend in Obama.Not that he has not snubbed other allies like the English.Be that as it may…..
It is a difficult time – as witnessed by the ADL comments – to identify anti-semitism. Indeed since Semitic is a term that can be applied to people who ascribe to either Arab or Jewish backgrounds, a “staunch ally of Israel” actually can very easily be an anti-semite. One could argue, in this time, they can hardly avoid being one.
<a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama%27s_birth_certificate"Glad the birth certificate was mentioned
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama%27s_birth_certificate
Robert grant.I have never doubted Obama was an American.Just the trouble to find anything out about him is lets face it weird.By the way……forward that scanned copy of his birth certificate.Or has that disappeared again?Answer..yes it has.And why the hell has the original never been proffered?And WHERE ARE HIS GRADES?How with such a lousy showing at occidental did he ever get into Harvard?It is an impossibility.Endless questions about this shadow
Well, hey…
â┚¬Ã…“When fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.â┚¬Ã‚Â
Sound like the Bush adminstration?
Hey Mike, you are the guy who has to pay the bill.
Why, I’ll bet you didn’t even buy gold.

excellent point
I don’t watch FOX (or any other “news”) either frank67, but plenty of people do, and buy their bullshit. Beck doesn’t worry me; it’s the dimwits and know-nothings and gullible fools might take the law into their own hands . . . I hope Soros has some good security people.
P.S.: As Jim Naureckas pointed out last time ’round, it’s best to ignore trolls, and the crazy, ill-informed shit that they write. You know what? It works, as anyone who has visited this site over the last six months or so knows. Do they flutter back to the fruitless, dead and dying trees in Wingnuttia forever? No. But the sheer volume of nonsense they post up does (has) dwindled dramatically. It’s like being safe in these troubled times: One must accept the fact that 100% safety in a democracy (even a nearly dead one like ours) is impossible. So, we must live with ugly and depraved visits from these monsters and their “ideas” and “thoughts.” Toughen up, and keep learnin’.
A typo”
the historical the terms and images he is dealing in:
Great piece!
Rob..if you were asking me did I buy gold.Darn tootin I did.Beck was yelling 2 weeks before the stock market and our country crashed to get out of stocks and buy gold.HE was ringing the warning bell quite effectively.He said the government is lying to you.Well said Glen ,and well met.I thought his evidence was firm and took his advice(As many of my friends did).Of course we made out quite well.Quite well indeed.Another crazy Glen Beckism that strangely…………………(and who among you will admit this)was 100% right!
Gold is at the highest it has been in decades, great time to buy into it. No possible way you could lose your ass on that bet. =o/
My hat is off to him on that one, though he was a little late about it. By 2006 it was clear in certain circles that Clinton and Bush had run the bill up and it was time to pay it. Bush was using military spending and Chaney’s company was the one that got the no bid contract. That is, however, how Hitler “saved” Germany from the depression. So, we are back to the question of fascism (american style). In 2003 Rush told his listeners “Only poor people own gold.” Soros has a big time position. He must have asked himself over and over, “how did the Nazis do it?”
Just because Eustace Mullins is anti-semitic does not mean he is wrong about the Fed and who was behind 911. I haven’t read his book about the Fed but I have read others and watched several documentaries about it and they say the same things about it as you say he says in his book.
He is also correct about 911 (google “Splitting-the-Sky follows the money”; and “San Diego Citizens Grand Jury”; they come to similar conclusions)
I saw Glen Beck say that ‘since 9/11 he has been paying attention.” That might be, but 9/11 was recent. I’ve been paying attention since 1963 and I gotta say that Beck gets so much wrong! but tells it as if he has the inside story. I’m sure he wasn’t paying attention in history classes. Either he’s part of a corporate/wealth conspiracy, or he was tutored by them, or he is just another crazy ranter. I mean he Really gets it Wrong!
Soros did make his money manipulating other countries fortunes, but the BS that Beck spews about him is just that.
Cindy, nonsense is your forte I think..
Becky Blanton, join Cindy and from your two cents worth, the about section of the website you recommend tells it all regarding Soros, which is:
1. Challenge, introduce, and preach the Kingdom of God – which is not a religion.
2. Provide sermons and messages of Dr. Charles S. Price, as his analogies are simple and reveal life in the Sprit.
3. Provide a resource of the American Christian Heritage and the Biblical worldview of the Founders that is missing and purposely omitted from today’s government-run schools and higher education indoctrination institutions.
4. Reveal the myth and lie concerning “the wall of separation” between church and state, and how it has impacted and continues to destroy the American way of life, carried out by secular liberal humanists in all facets of the American society, including the “mainstream” media, education, GLSEN, the despotic branch, Democrats and RINO’s, ACLU, AU, AARP, Union Leaders, and environmentalists.
Will our descendents know moral virtue if Christians remain silent instead of becoming the salt and Light our Lord Jesus calls us to be?
What a bunch of hogwash, though I respect a few Christians I know.
According to Becky Blanton, Becky is just telling the truth about Soros, but the website she tries to prove that with and fails miserably is very telling. One thing about it these right wingers they stick together with what they say. Only, saying it doesn’t make it so, as they seem to think. So they try very hard to repeat themselves hoping the truth will spill out of it; but it doesn’t work that way. As far as Soros, interpretation is all they have going for them…..but that doesn’t reveal the truth in this instance.
Historyscoper, you belong with Cindy and Becky Blanton and have no credibility in spite of making it seem as though you are pointing to it. Just presenting a website doesn’t reveal much to prove your argument.
Michael e., true to form as always, join the previous paragraph. Oh and Obama wrote 2 books, want to know something about him? I know, anybody can write a book. Usually, it is FOX that lies, along with the right wing noise machine. That is what you are accustomed to so you expect that from everyone, I guess.
TimN, Des, Robert Grant, thank you for some valid points.
Des, I like what you said about: “In a democracy where the vote of the misinformed bigot holds the same value as any other, where do we stop with the slime and lies?” It is so true and should be shouted from the rooftops and pointed out often. Being informed is not an easy task. There is so much information to sort through and to separate the wheat from the chaff takes real dedication.
Democrats are hard to pin down in what they believe in because generally, being all inclusive in their philosophy and accommodating of all, they do not usually use bumper sticker slogans and talking points to say what they are for or against as the Republicans do. To determine that, they usually need a few paragraphs, which for low information voters takes too much time. These people do not have a high attention span. The Republicans are pros at this. Just spout off a few “talking points” from Lund and they are off and running. Tax cuts, small government, stop the spending, privatize everything, vouchers, personal responsibility,
I think Cenk Uygur has it right, Democrats should boil it down to as what to stand for, i.e., “Opportunity and Responsibility.”
Raymond Im not religious… and that was a weird religious example. But…Beck is right about Soros because it is an easy slam dunk.Just read the words of George Soros.He has never worked in a shadow world really.He is open in his craziness.Always has been open about the scary dude he in fact is.People just strangely don’t hear that part.Hitler was open in what he said about the Jews and people said”no way he really means it”.Iran is pretty open about their goals.SAme thing.
Beck is like a rodeo Clown yelling fire in a theater that is in fact on fire.Hey it is up to you if you want to get the hell out- or sit tight and mock the clown.
You sleep with dogs you catch its fleas.
Rodeo clown in a theater? Can’t even do good simile, e.
Faux news is not news, it is rite-wing propaganda, unadulterated. Beck is only into it for the money and spouts fascist dreck without basis in fact. We do have a fascist America. Fascism is the government by corporation, for corporation, and of corporation. Corporations are tools, have no soul, are not human, and the entire reason for a corporation is profit. The Supremes turned us over completely to the corporations this year, and we have seen the power of the dollar over the vote of the individual. We are not Nazi, yet. But the Brownshirts are not far behind. We have seen them on the edges of the T-baggers, and in the middle of Rand Paul’s security muscle.
Elizabeth Barger , I think you see the dangers in this quite clearly. Oligarchy can be based on anything but a capitalistic system is always in danger of falling into fascism when a depression or a recession is on the horizon. Fascism is what we are dealing with here. And, when the day comes, even China may resort to militasry spending as an economic tool to deal with inventory build up. If that happens there are horrors yet unimagined. Especially since most of the world’s engineers are being graduated in Asia today.
Robert and Elizabeth
I hear the opposite on the other side.Obama is a Marxist Facist agent out to drag the world down and eventually try to rule it.And YOU are his minions.Evil little apostles of death and destruction of a great society and world.
Rob and Liz we have huge problems.The idea I just threw at you is preposterous.As is what you are spouting.Liberals have good hearts as do conservatives.Tea party beliefs are in all of us as Americans,and legally incorporated businesses are simply the stuff of George Baily’s housing company in it’s a wonderful life.Unions are not intrinsically evil.The folks who work in them are my neighbors and yours.And we are having a cookout on Sunday with the kids.FOX will be celebrating Christmas as will Democracy now.I will enjoy both.Obama will be good to his family and friends as will George Bush.Two flawed by decent men.Americans both.WE the people share differing views but enjoy so many blessings.Time to ratchet your doom and gloom down a notch.The republicans are not coming to eat your kids.So far the Democrats have not got to mine.Enjoy Sarah Palins Alaska>It is a wonderful show.I will laugh along with J Stewart.We will all need to laugh more in the times ahead.You two sound as if you have not had a giggle in quite a while.A bit strained sounds like to these ears.So take a chill pill and have a good evening.
Liz….Beck calls himself a rodeo clown often.
Michael e. You talk and drivel. Where is your proof that Obama is a Marxist or a Fascist? Or even a socialist? Where is your proof that he has plans for dragging the world down? He has bent over backwards for you guys trying to include you in the discussion, but what happens….McConnell and Boehner both cancel the meeting in order to do very useless stuff.
Sarah Palins show is so much fluff. Ok, she has done 2 shows what does she do for an encore? I t seems she can only do on the show what she’s doing for a little while then what does she do but get boring.
Yes, Palin is a bimbo. But, she talks to them at their level. Don’t forget, for an average IQ to be 100, 50% of the people have to be below 100. The oligarchy needs a few good bimbos.
On Foxnews Beck called liberal billionaire financier George Soros, who is a Jewish survivor of the Holocaust, “The Puppet Master.”
“He’s known as the man who broke the Bank of England. The prime minister of Malaysia called Soros an unscrupulous profiteer. In Thailand he was branded the economic war criminal,” Beck said on Fox earlier this month. “They also said he sucks the blood of people.”
Deborah Lipstadt, professor of Holocaust Studies at Emory University, says Beck is using traditional anti-Semitic imagery. She notes that the Malaysian prime minister cited by Beck had also ranted that Jews were behind his economy’s instability, and that Beck even claimed Soros as a young teen collaborated with the Nazis in his native Hungary.
“I haven’t heard anything like this on television or radio â┚¬” and I’ve been following this kind of stuff,” Lipstadt said. “And I’ve been in the sewers of anti-Semitism and holocaust denial more often than I’ve wanted.”
Raymond and Robert…You wont hear me calling Michelle Obama a bimbo or a whore.We leave that kind of talk to the left.Raymond I was mocking nuts on the right and on the left.Not laying claim to their words.You bunch cant write a sentence without appearing to be haters and elitists.You simply believe nothing and no-one that goes against your very small minded view of the world.You hate (yes hate)anyone with traditional constitutional core values.You practice the art of personal destruction.You deserve the ass whipping you took in the past election.And the boot up the ass you are gonna get in the coming presidential election.This country is gonna keep slapping the ugly and stupid out of you until you hear what other people are saying.
Helen.Glen called it.Before he even started this.He said what the left would say(anti simitic drivel)and where it would originate.He hit it dead on.The nasty tags originated in Soros owned and operated places.Your being played.Soros does not need Glen beck to bury whatever good anyone believes of him.His own words do that.He is what Ralph Cramdon called a blabber mouth in the Honymooners.All is Glen does is play his own words back.Old Georgie has no-one to blame but himself.He is an evil dude.He himself is an anti semite trained by his sweet mother who was one.Just listen to his own words.His own interviews.Slam dunk.
Robert Grant where do you get your numbers on IQ? It would have to be more than 50% unless you are saying that a sizable number are below 100. 100 is the mean average of all the IQ’s taken, not quite an arbitrary number but close. IQ is just one of many numbers of intelligence measurement (hold over along with the SAT, from the bad old eugenics days) and hardly important in this or most any contexts. A non starter more important to crypto-eugenicists than ordinary people. Stop calling people names please, it isn’t just unbecoming but of the gutter. Anyone can do it and they shouldn’t no matter what political persuasion they are.
Jews aren’t all in one basket anymore than any other group demarcated along any line whether racial or religious or some other ideosyncratic line in the sand. That is why Beck can dis one prominent Jew, Soros who is an Atheist, and still have other Jews defend him even when he lies through his teeth. Because they are not of the same groupings. More than religion, or is it ethnicity or both? (The Nazis decided it was both then moved against them in those bad old days we don’t need to see ever again.) Some Jews play it that way, others don’t, like those from Ethiopia or Russia for instance. Beck lied and continues to. By commission or omission or distortion, it all adds up to bad juju and evil outcomes in the end. That must stop.
That would be a bell curve with a mean of 100. Nobody is cutting hairs. About half of the population on one side and half on the other. Whatever you measure always gives you the bell curve.
What makes that important is that Hitler stated in “Mein Kampf” that to build political power you must go to the base elements of society. In other words, the educated man is useless because he will question.

BECK: George Soros believes, quote, “The main obstacle of a stable and just world order is the United States.”
Actual quote from Soros “The main obstacle to a stable and just world order is the United States. This is a harsh — indeed, for me, painful — thing to say, but unfortunately I am convinced it is true. The United States continues to set the agenda for the world in spite of its loss of influence since 9/11, and the Bush administration is setting the wrong agenda.”
“Your being played.” Indeed.
Another classic from day 1 of Beck’s Hate-a Thon
Beck cited David Horowitz and Richard Poe’s The Shadow Party as the source of his claim that Soros in 2004 said that “in periods of regime change, normal rules do not apply.” In fact those comments, which Beck claimed show that Soros “didn’t mince words” in 2004, are actually from the 1995 book Soros on Soros: Staying Ahead of the Curve, during a discussion about investment losses in Eastern Europe and the need for financial markets there.
“Your being played.” Indeed.
Gideon Rachman
A peculiar debate has now broken out in the United States, about whether Beck’s attack on Soros was anti-semitic. Now let me see – he accuses a financier, whom he repeatedly emphasises is Jewish, of being a â┚¬Ã…“puppet-masterâ┚¬Ã‚Â, a man with no national loyalties, who makes vast profits by overthrowing governments and subverting currencies, and who manipulates events from behind the scenes. Why is there even a debate?

Sorros is a jew in name only. Actually even that is wrong.He is anti Jew.A self hater.FRom his mothers womb to her knee this he learned;
Anti semitism and Nazi propaganda does not mean that a man who is a” financier” and who does in fact move upon world currencies for his own reasons can not be Jewish.You could say it is the perfect cover. Anyone who points a finger is an anti semite and is silenced.
Beck did not undertake a hard quest here.Sorros by his own words(you don’t need sound bites -he has spoken on this stuff for hours)is a dude who does not play by the rules unless forced to.He is a dangerous guy with a self professed God complex.Wherever he has gone he has shattered worlds for his own gain.Being a Jew is not to blame- nor should it be an excuse.He is simply a man like the rest of us.Judge him on his own words and deeds.Forget Beck.Beck comes late to the party.He should not get the blame ,or the accolades for stating simply the wreckage that follows George Sorros like a plague.
Reading here–http://www.geniusdv.com/news_and_tutorials/2009/07/particle_systems_conceptually_technical_note_to_pa.php ,speaks about how there are certain deficiencies of the Bell Curve, certainly in relation to I.Q. in relation to the amount of deviation or variance within the measuring system. The majority float on both sides of the Mean Average but that doesn’t mean they stay there or are particularly stupid or smart on either side of that dividing line. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iq
As for Beck and company they have operational orders and are following them with little deviation. Progressives of today are the same as those of 1904 i.e. racists and utopians who were the partial basis for National Socialism. A similar track is going on today and one of their leaders is a turn coat Jew i.e. Soros who is a big money bankroller of destruction of nations by crashing their currencies. In effect a version of the Jews are running the world or want to run the world that is old as the “Protocols of the Elders of Zion” and other such forgeries that still fill the need for those who like to use Jews, and others, as scape goats as obsticals to their “perfect, pure” world they want. A monoculture, monogenetic, monotheist corporate Christian Dominionist empire of hidden wanton lust and sever theological penalties for those without power under their collective boot heels to maintain control. They are dedicated and heavily bankrolled by several billionaires. And maybe more behind the scenes. Not our friends.
Sure! There are aspects that are completely outside the definitions of what are being measured. Absolutely! Infinity is too big to be put into a box. Hovever, once you begin to measure individual differences you get a bell curve that represents normal distribution.
For my puropsed in this discussion I was trying to point out that the “tea baggers”, Palin and many of the aspects of this “manufactured” political club, that gave the House of Representatives back to the “war party” as coporate servants rather than true representatives of the citizenry, is functioning along the lines of classic fascist methods. That is Hitler’s idea that you build political power by pandering to the base elements of society. This explains why, for example, I get e-mails from my Republican friends that have President Obama dressed up as an African witch doctor and captioned with OBAMA”S HEALTH CARE. Racism is one of those base elements that Hitler was talking about. It works! At least with that segment that is a standard deviation to the minus on that bell curve. Or course there is someone who is a standard deviation to the minus and is a devout Budist. For him the propaganda dosen’t work.
Anyhow, that’s why the oligarchy is targeting that segment of our population. Classic fascism!
Rob I don”t know who is sending such rash to you but as a tea party member i have never seen it,or heard it. The tea party is simply a grass root movement to reaffirm the constitution and keeping big government, and its power out of our lives ,as we feel it is against the basic ideals laid down for this country. Period!If you adhere to the constitution they are on your side.If you don’t you are against them. Simple No?Calling People tea baggers is no different though than calling our president the N word. Notice I said the N word in respect for peoples feelings. You said Tea bagger in disregard.
I was proud of one thing in this last election(presidential). Racism was obviously put aside by by a great number of white people as without their support Obama could not be elected. Race except as a Dem ploy, was not really even a player. Bravo for America. The only real sad aspect was 97% of Blacks voting for him ,and continuing support even as his numbers plummet. This is blatant racial bias unreported. Lets face it…Jesus Christ himself could not expect 97% of the catholic vote. But paint Palin as a fascist or a white supremist ,or baby seal killer or a Nazi.You cant believe it by the facts but it is a good political move to paint people in these lights.The art of personal attack is well developed on the left.My guess is this method is not working anymore but hey give it your best….I wish you would weigh her platform as I will those on the left with an open mind.Forget her accent and read what she believes.In a dry/blind poll on policy 52%agreed with her,23% with Obama.So maybe personal attack is all ya got.
Watch Sarah Palins Alaska.Good show that shows a dynamic woman with a very normal family with normal faults and exceptionalism in an amazing part of our country, living that areas version of the American dream.She wont be beheading LIbs and eating their livers with fava beans and a fine Chianti contrary to what you heard.
I TRULY FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE IGNORANT FOOLS OF THIS SCRIBE.
SOROS NEEDS TO BE TRIED AS A WAR CRIMINAL, FOR HE IS ADMITTED TO WAR CRIMES AND REGARDLESS OF HIS AGE.
IF HE WAS ACTUALLY JEWISH, HE WOULD NOT HAVE COMMITTED THOSE CRIMES AGAINST HIS FELLOW BRETHREN, HE WOULD HAVE DONE ALL HE COULD TO STOP OR MINIMIZE THE TRAGEDY THEREFORE HE IS WAR CRIMINAL.
IN HIS OWN ADMISSIONS HE HAS OPENLY ADMITTED TO WAR CRIMES. HE IS NOT I REPEAT A HOLOCAUST SURVIVOR.
IN OUR JEWISH CULTURE A MALE ASCENDS UNTO AND BECOMES MAN UPON HIS 13TH RISING.
THEREFORE THIS WAR CRIMINAL KNEW RIGHT FROM WRONG. SORO’S ACTUALLY ADMITS ON VIDEO (AND NOT FROM BECK EITHER), THAT HE KNEW WHAT HE DID WAS WRONG. ALL OF THOSE WRITING ON THIS SCRIBE REALLY ARE MERE COUCH BLOGGER’S NOTHING MORE BUT IGNORANT AMERICANS. AS MY MOTHER IS AN ACTUAL SURVIVOR OF THAT NIGHTMARE CALLED WAR. AND ANY PERSON ON THIS SCRIBE WOULD BE WISE UNTO THEMSELVES TO HEED THE WARNING SIGNS OF HISTORY ESPECIALLY THE AMERICAN HISTORY. IN WHICH SPEAK VOLUMES.
I WOULD BE WILLING TOO MAKE THE SPECULATION THAT THE MAJORITY OF THE BLOGGER’S HERE ARE SUPPORTERS OF DICTATOR HUSSEIN OBAMA, CORRECT ? OR NOT ? THAT MAN DOES NOT SUPPORT MY HOMELAND AS BECK DOES AND THE OTHER COMMENTARIES OF YOUR COUNTRY. MY HOMELAND ALWAYS HAS SUPPORTED THE AMERICA’S ESPECIALLY IN TIME OF CRISIS SUCH AS KATRINA, 9-11 TRAGEDY, WE HAVE SENT AID TO YOUR COUNTRY, BUT YOUR POLITICIAN’S SPIT ON US AS WE WERE THE TERRORISTS.
SPEAKING OF SUCH YOUR WORKER UNIONS SHOULD BE TRIED AND CONVICTED UNDER YOUR LAWS OF TERROR THE COMMUNIST CONTROL ACT THE SUBVERSIVE CONTROL BOARD ACT, THE SMITH ACT ALL HAVE BEEN UPHELD BY YOUR HIGH COURTS.
I LEAVE YOU WITH THESE THOUGHTS, BEFORE YOU JUDGE OTHERS MAKE SURE YOUR OWN HOUSE IN ORDER, FOR G-D WILL JUDGE YOU 10 FOLD AS YOU HAVE JUDGED WRONGLY THOSE THAT YOU PERCEIVE TO HAVE WRONGED YOU.
YOU SPEAK AS IF YOU KNOW WHAT MORMON’S BELIEVE IN, REALLY ?? IS THIS WHY YOUR COUNTRY HAS BANNED RELIGION THERE? FOR EXAMPLE, THAT LITTLE INCIDENT IN WACO A FEW YEARS AGO, THAT MAN WAS PRACTICING HIS RELIGION, NOT THE GOVERNMENT ORDAINED VERSION, AND WAS KILLED FOR HIS BELIEF’S? BEFORE YOU GO AND EXPLODE STATING THAT HE IS AND WAS A CHILD MOLESTER, DO YOU REALLY HAVE ALL THE FACTS OF THAT CASE, DID YOU DO THE FOLLOW UP RESEARCH OF JUST WHAT THE DRIVE BY MEDIA TELLS YOU TO BELIEVE AS TRUTH ?????? THE LDS PEOPLE WHOSE CHILDREN WAS REMOVED IN TEXAS WELL DID YOU ACTUAL KNOW THAT THOSE CHILDREN WERE RETURNED TO THE FAMILY’S ? DID YOU KNOW THAT THE SURVIVORS OF WACO ALL CHARGES WERE FINALLY DROPPED, AND THE ATF FBI ALL HAD TO PAY MILLIONS OUT FOR THEIR WRONG DOINGS??
NO ONE TALKS ABOUT THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT WRONG DOINGS, NOW DO YOU COMMUNISTS :))
AS FAR AS MR. BECK’S SOBRIETY THAT IS HIS BUSINESS, HE WILL HAVE TO TAKE THAT UP WITH HIS HIGHER POWER. NOT YOU !!
AS STATED I FEEL SORRY FOR THOSE WHO WILL BE UNDER THE RULE OF RED, INSTEAD OF FREEDOMS THAT YOU SO WRONGLY ENJOY. ENJOY YOUR SOCIALIST SOCIETY AS IT WILL TO COME TO PASS, THAT YOUR NATION WILL FALL FROM GRACE, HARDER THAN THE ROMAN EMPIRE DID;.
“In a dry/blind poll on policy 52% agreed with palin, 23% with Obama.”
as usual no such poll exists

what kind of troll makes stuff up?
“The only real sad aspect was 97% of Blacks voting for him ,and continuing support even as his numbers plummet. This is blatant racial bias unreported.”
When in doubt, race-bait…It works for Fox.
Glen Beck is an antisemite who cannot keep his own mouth shut even when it leads inevitably to self-destructive behavior.Like a moth drawn to a flame, Beck parades his antisemitism. There is neither excuse nor justification for such execrable behavior. No one forced Beck to join the ranks of Goebbels, Louis Farrakhan and Norman Lincoln Rockwell.The antisemite leaves no room for equivocation. He forces those around him to choose sides. Beck does a public service for Jews and all Americans of good will. His behavior reminds us why we must not forget the words “Never again!”. To what he has started, all of the rest of us must put a stop.
get real, and all liberal news outlets dont distort the truth? and beck simply looks at facts and forms an opinion, but turns around and says dont take his word on it, do the research yourself, I DONT EVER REMEMBER any liberal telling anyone to look for the fact yourself, but i guess we should just take they’re word for it, cause they’re ALL honest… gimme a break.
Nobody compares more people and events to the Horrors of Nazi Germany. It seems like he’s belittling the horrors that the Jewish community around the world had to endure. That’s worse than just about anything I can think of on television.
Spot on with this write-up, I actually think this web site needs far more consideration. I’ll most likely be again to read far more, thanks for that info.
