Glenn Beck draws criticism over latest Holocaust comments 
Glenn Beck has railed many times against George Soros, a Hungarian-American financier and liberal philanthropist whom the conservative host dubs the "progressive puppet master."

But Beck ramped up his criticism this week on Fox News and his radio show, making comments about how Soros survived in Nazi-occupied Hungary that have provoked denunciations from Jewish organizations.

Beck said on the radio Wednesday that Soros—as a 13-year-old Jewish boy, living apart from his parents in order to avoid apprehension by the Nazis—"used to go around with this anti-Semite and deliver papers to the Jews and confiscate their property and then ship them off. … It was frightening. Here's a Jewish boy helping send the Jews to the death camps."

Abraham H. Foxman, national director of the Anti-Defamation League and a Holocaust survivor, called Beck's comments "completely inappropriate, offensive and over the top..."

I guess that depends on one essential matter - are his comments true and
accurate, or not?

Soros scares me a lot worse than Beck does, quite frankly.  He seems to
believe the best thing for the whole world would be for the U.S. to become
a bankrupt, third-rate power.

What's sad is we tend to be trending that way without his help.

Beck says he was not passing judgement on his actions.  Uh-huh.  That's what he always does.  Inserts a blunt crude insinuation, then claim "oh, I'm not insinuating anything!  I'm not passing judgement!".  If it happened once in a great while, it'd be one thing, but he does it CONSANTLY. 

I mean, if you walked up to a random stranger and called them a huge jerk, and then said, "Well, that's what everyone is saying about you.  But is it true?" it'd be obvious what you were doing.  Beck does about the same over and over.  I don't know how anyone can take him seriously on anything.

Soros is a serious power in the financial world...he's been railing to destroy America with assimilation, (economically and morally) and he virtually singlehandedly destroyed the British Sterling and made a few million or billion doing so.  If people think he can't touch America, they'd better think again.

His little bi*th, Rebecca Peters, is also heading the effort to bind America to a global treaty that would criminalize private gun ownership. The UN General Conference in 2005 tried (and failed) and there was some talk about it coming up again at the 2010  UNGC, altho financial matter were the biggest subject.

NOT. GOOD.

Glen Beck, George Soros and Abe Foxman = all really lovely people

A European friend of mine at Youtube said that a united Europe under one group or person would be the "wet dream of many a mastermind."  It's not as if it hasn't been tried before (twice in one century to be exact).   According to him, Soros is not well-liked by many over there.

Allegedly he's had 2 felony counts against him for illegal campaign contributions in Europe and he got off of them. That figures, given the money HE has..this guy could give 200 m in interest to his fave Marxist organization and not even break a financial sweat.

What are y' talking about "Marxist organization..."??   :question:  
You just need a label?  The Marxists were interested in liberating the people.  Mr Multi-Billionaire ain't no Marxist. 
Nobody's interested in that anymore, it's just quaint.  
Man you sound like the BECK itself.

Soros IS Marxist in his own way. He wants to bring America down to the level of the Third World, and use the notions of "liberation" and "equality" as the "reward" for a globalized society.

This is what Lenin and Marx did to the Soviet Union, and we've all seen where that went..indeed, the people had all the freedom and equality they wanted. Putin is a great guy...

Don't think that Soros and friends haven't learned from the old party's mistake of spurning capitalism.  The destruction of your opponent's currency thru destruction or assimilation is the new way to go.

If Soros finds a way to pressurize America to can the Dollar and adopt the Euro, that's it.
We could be forced to abandon our Constitution, our laws and customs, as a condition of our long-term prosperity. And as punishment for refusing the mandates of the EU and World Bank? Penalties, fines, and investors pulling out from under us and flattening us. We would be at their mercy. We would be on their leash..

I never said any of this would happen, I'm just saying it could and to consider the possibilities. Economic destruction weighs more than military.

I'll just say this, and then no more. At one point or another, Beck (like anyone) has to be right about something. O'Reilly, Olbermann, Matthews, whoever, at one point they hit paydirt.   

Their shows aren't meant to substitute the truth with the host's own realities, but to present their own points of view,  and get people to think about some of the possibilities the host presents.

Beck never said it would happen, but it could, and that's what he's saying. The left does a fair amount of fear-mongering for their own purposes as well, and neither side is truly altruistic in their intentions. It's to draw viewership.  That's the media's job, create a reaction, and feed it.  Believe it or not, your choice.  Peace  :cheers:

Abe Foxman was an annoying PC hack during the 90's, kind of like a jewish Jesse Jackson. After 9/11 he got a second wind calling anyone who criticized israel or the "special relationship" an anti semite. His latest exploit was passively going on with the Turkey's claim that the Armenian genocide never happend because Israel and turkey were allies (this was before the flotilla incident).

Of course, now that Turkey and Israel are on the outs, Israels court historians have changed their mind and agree that the Armenian genocide happend!

You bring up a point that always makes me think...all the time I was growing up (and even before the Iraq and Afghanistan wars), I always heard someone on the news refer to anything in the middle east as "the mid-east crisis." 

There are so many now (not to mention the older ones) that it makes you shake your head and say "which particular crisis are you talking about"?  :buggedout:
