Christians Urged to Boycott Glenn Beck
By LAURIE GOODSTEIN

Last week, the conservative broadcaster Glenn Beck called on Christians to leave their churches if they heard any preaching about social or economic justice because, he claimed, those were slogans affiliated with Nazism and Communism.

This week, the Rev. Jim Wallis, a liberal evangelical leader in Washington, D.C., called on Christians to leave Glenn Beck.

“What he has said attacks the very heart of our Christian faith, and Christians should no longer watch his show,” Mr. Wallis, who heads the antipoverty group Sojourners, wrote on his “God’s Politics” blog. “His show should now be in the same category as Howard Stern.”

Mr. Beck, in vilifying churches that promote “social justice,” managed to insult just about every mainline Protestant, Roman Catholic, African-American, Hispanic and Asian congregation in the country — not to mention plenty of evangelical ones.

1. Maybe Glenn "I'm Totally Insane" Beck has finally gone too far, and if so
GOOD!

Actually, he's gone too far before, but I bet he's pissed off some of his fans with this crap.

2. Jesus already took care of that.
Beck's supporters aren't likely to listen now.

14. So let's see here ... he's driven off all his advertisers ...



and now he's working on the Xians. When will Ailes and Murdoch put their fuzzy little heads together and
decide it's time to pull the plug on this asshole before he has a total mental collapse while on the air?
