Glenn Beck Defends His Hitler Comparisons

On his Tuesday radio show, Glenn Beck obliquely defended his much-maligned comment that the Norwegian camp attacked by right-wing extremist Anders Breivik reminded him of a Hitler Youth site.

Beck caused an outcry on Monday after his comments hit the Web. On Tuesday, he did not mention the stir directly, but instead discussed a book about the early days of Nazi Germany that he is reading.

He said he saw parallels between Hitler's statements to the Germans and President Obama's statements to the American public. Anybody who expressed concern with what Hitler was doing was "ridiculed or marginalized or rounded up and killed," he added.

Beck's co-host jumped in to stress that this did not mean that there were "gas chambers in Kansas." An agitated Beck cut him off.

"Don't start," he said, his voice rising. "Don't even. Don't!" He got more and more heated as he continued.

has to make up an excuse why you don't get it.

always small people the conservative.

the guts to admit he's an idiot, and made a terribly insensitive remark that has been repeated to the people of Norway, where the Norwegians great grand parents of these dead kids fought against Hitler!!!

right wing radio? Would an on air murder and cannibalism binge do it? Would anything short of that get you kicked off? What's the level of offense? How distasteful does a host have to be before they kick him off? I'd really like to know.

The Gods must have a particularly spectacular destruction in mind for Beck.

The thing is THE NORWEGIAN GOVERNMENT
COMMENTED ON HIS FASCISTS THOUGHTS


THEY CALLED HIM A FACIST...

plenty of links on DU

Beck is not just a hack


HE HAS MILLIONS OF FOLLOWERS
in Israeli and the right wing in Europe.

I can't believe he seems to be saying he's "restrained" by the mainstream media (of which he used to be a part). To think that he's being "held back" by the mediums of talk radio and Fox News...

< Beckerwood >
If we're living in a society where we can't say "X" in the same paragraph as "Y" and not be told we are comparing it... if we live in that society we're doomed. We are going to be a society of gas chambers.

This country can have a logical conversation. The question is does this county bypass the MSM faster than its destroyed. And I'm betting yes, and its called GBTV. You want to have a real conversation, lets have a real conversation < / Beckerwood >

So apparently the "real conversation," according to Beckerwood is just unchained vitriol and Hitler comparisons.

Has anyone at Color of Change or Media Matters been following GBTV? It seems these clips are from his radio show. If this is what he's giving out for free, I wonder what the rubes who give him their money are getting...
