Glenn Beck, the rightwing US broadcaster and Tea Party favourite, has compared those who were massacred on the Norwegian island of Utøya to the Nazi party's youth wing.

"There was a shooting at a political camp, which sounds a little like the Hitler youth, or, whatever. I mean, who does a camp for kids that's all about politics. Disturbing,"

Eriksen described the comment as "a new low" for Beck, telling the Daily Telegraph: "Young political activists have gathered at Utøya for over 60 years to learn about and be part of democracy, the very opposite of what the Hitler Youth was about. Glenn Beck's comments are ignorant, incorrect and extremely hurtful."

Beck being ignorant and sensationalist on his program for idiots? you dont say

Glenn Beck - just when you think he can't hit a new low he buys a JCB
 
I only found out recently that Fox News had 'let him go' or fired him (same difference). What has the reception been to his solo stuff since? Based on this quote...he's getting worse.
 
I'm surprised he's still free. Didn't he rape and murder a young girl in 1990?
 
I'm sorry, hasn't there been a big push for Tea Party summer camps and all that bullshit from these loons?
 
lol imagine f he said this on Fox News they would have shut the channel down.What a tool.

Are you kidding? He's compared people (including victims of violent crimes) to Nazis several times while on Fox.

True, but comparing 60 murdered teens to Nazis is a new thing for him. Usually it's [strike]people nobody likes anyway[/strike] politicians.

Yep, one of Beck's organizations actually runs summer camps like this!

What a piece of shit.
 
Come on guys, he's a shock jock. How are you surprised by this outlandishness?
 
Who said we were surprised? We're disgusted.
 
Still the same thing. This clown has said more offensive things. With how often people post things he says, I'd think everybody would be a bit less outraged at this ridiculousness.
 
he's not a shock jock. he believes what he says and the hitler youth was playing right into his audiences hands because socialist = nazism to people like beck and his supporters. it wasnt an offhand comment but rather a calculated one. he knows his audience well

Yeah. I'm still waiting for Glenn beck to come clean on all that, now the president has shown his birth certificate and all.

Christ I'm glad I don't live in the states. Being subjected to ignorant morons like Beck around the clock would drive me nuts tbh.

Why are you trying to stoop to his level. It's not something to aspire to, at any rate.
 
I know what the thing is; I just don't like slandering people with made up shit. It should be done with real shit.
